THE LIFE OF PETER
Simon Peter, a Galilean fisher
man, became a disciple of John
the Baptist and was won to Christ
by his brother Andrew on the
banks of the lower Jordan. Bv
the lakeside in Capernaum he
was called to permanent associa-
tion with Jesus. In the summer
of 2S AID. he was called to be
an apostle.
Peter was spokesman on the
day of Pentecost, evangelist in

On the other hand, the screen
dramatist is treading on dangerous
ground when he attempts to manip-
ulate the classics for the good of
the screen story. He knows-or II
he doesn't know, he soon learns-that
with each omission and each devia-
ton from the original, he invites the
indignant outcry Of the lovers OF the
classic. They will call him q desc
orator" and his screen play q butch
ery' If the familiar story Is altered.
They will be disappointed II the screen
play fails to show them In q recog-
nizable form the characters who have
become as real to them rs the people
they have met.
The only way out Is o middle way.
This dilemma has been very real
to me during the last few months Of
working on the screen play for Charles
Dickens "A Tale Of Two Cities" soon
to be made at Metro Goldwyn-M Mayer.
Now that my screen play Is on the
verge of completion, look back ana
lytically on the labors that went into
1.-THE drafts and revisions and the
many conferences with director and
producer.
Unquestionably, I have found 1t
more difficult to make q screen play
from one Of the most famous classics
than from a modern novel or play.
The most difficult task Of all, how
ever, Is to write an "origina" script
for motion picture use. The author in
this case has to be prepared for all
sorts of upheavals. The motion pic
ture producer may tell him to make
changes which completely alter the
story he had in mind. Whole situa-
tions may be eliminated or altered
radically.

would happen If the plot Of a classic
were to be submitted as a scenario,
without its being known that 1t was
q well-known work Of literature.
The great novels Jumped together
under the term classics" were not
written originally for the screen. And
that is where my work comes in.
The novel permits much looser. more
roundabout technique.
For instance, In "A Tale Of Two
Cities" the events which lead up to
the "tale" itself are told only in
the last tenth Of the book. when q

Second, that the town charter pro-

Rubin first played in Washington
about 20 years ago in burlesque
show. Shortly thereafter he gradu-
ated to legitimate vaudeville, worked
up to the two-a-day at Keiths. and
then in 1922, when vaudeville was
still going strong, he pulled out and
went to Hollywood as gag man. He
soon came back. Six years later, with
variety business on the wane, he re-
turned to the Coast to become an
actor, director and screen writer.
Since that time he has had a hand
in innumerable short subjects in one
of these roles, written several success
full full-length scripts and in spare
weeks played the four-a-day as a
master Of ceremonies and court jester.
While Rubin has made name for
himself as a dialectician and yarn
spinner, probably the one thing that
may assure him of some lasting fame
Is his comical laugh.

THE sure-fire lines of The Whole

Gabriel Players in good stead last
night. when they presented this mod
ern comedy at ST Gabriel's School.
Without the certain appeal of Emer-
son and Loos' lively bit of fluff, the
audience might not have responded so
enthusiastically as it did; but be that
as it may, full house entered into
the spirit of the fun in spite of cer-
tain amount of ineptness in acting.

fore she will marry him. When this
past, wholly imaginary, of course, ma
terializes, the scramble is unbelievable;
but somehow it all manages to come
out satisfactorily.
Opposite these two are Edna May
Brown and Mary La Cows, as the wife
and daughter of Simmons, respectively.
Ethel, the daughter, is school girlish

miss the colorfulness that might have
been put into her part.
