HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Oct. 49,
Hollywood is doing something nov
it never did before 1t is using the
screen to tell film fans how motion
i pictures are made. tRemembel
when Hollywood was afraid of de.
stroying Illusions about itself?)
But Hollywood took tip, on this
matter, from the many big corpor-
atoms and industrial concerns thai
have been using camera and miscro-
phone to sell, educate" and instruct
retailers, statesmen, and in some
cases consumers on the intricacies
of their products.
Comparatively few of these indus
trial films reach. the commercial
film house as did These Thirty
Years" the production of a leading
car manufacturer Henry Ford) four
years ago. But if you look around
you can see at special showings
the inside story of tires, corks, cars
spark plugs, tooth pastes, iceboxes
railroads, whiskey, biscuits, nickel
fixtures, gasoline and whatnot -
free.
New Type of Trailer
Pat Bowling, one of Hollywood
successful makers of industrial
films, estimates that nine-tenths of
the pictures of this type are not in
tended for the commercial theatre,
but go to schools, fairs, exhibits,
and clubrooms, as we'll as to re-
tailers and statesmen.
Occasionally, he says, an indus
trial film of legitimate interest, en-
PERTAINING and timely, will find its
way to a theatre Screen-provided
the manager deems it sufficiently
entertaining In these instances no
money is exchanged. The manager
pays no film rental fee, but the in
dustrial producer pays the manager
nothing to run his film.
That gang down in Arkansas
Marian C. Blackman's Society for
the Booing of Commercial Adver-
tisements in Motion Picture Thea
tres-is not expected to boo at
what Hollywood is doing. (But then
Hollywood hasn't yet consulted Mr..
Blackman)
Frank Whitebeck, Metros eX-
ploitation chief, turned out short"
entitled The Romance of Cellu-
loid,' beginning with the making
of raw film from cotton and swing
ing naturally into details of pro-
duction at his studio. Easily and
q thought inoffensively, he wound
up with a "preview" of the new
productions, attaining a new sort
of trailer with genuine fan inter-
est.
Technical Details Stressed
So successful was this short"
that a whole series now is planned,
the next to be school of Exper-
ience," detailing the training, test
ing and launching of a new stock
player. Future films will investi-
gate the studio fan mail depart
ment, the property room, the ward

es of the industry.

dition to being misunderstood,
he is confused and hurt by
spanks and whackS, what a
really hard life he has. And I
mean that.
Just use q little imagination
and picture yourself in a for
eign land where you do not

JUST ANXIOUS
Suppose you were told not to
do everything you had an in
stinctive desire to, and then
suppose the officers Of the law
in that strange land, without
explaining, simply buffeted you
and strucl. you. Many a little
baby is in a parallel position.
Curiosity, constant activity,
the desire to find out how every
thing feels, looks, and tastes
are the strong primitive urges of
little childhood. These urges
cannot be constantly denied.
What children need at this age
is to have just as much freedom,
just as many good toys as Gney
possibly can have. If their de-
sires are understood and salts
fled in general, they accept very
sweetly the few restrictions that
it is necessary to put upon them.

of LoUe and MGrriaoe)
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1T was a terribly black day
for me when my girl told me
she was going to marry someone
else. I had supposed we were
engaged, and we were only wait
ing for my pay to be raised from
$50 to 500 per month before
she would name the day.
Il didn't even know had a
rival till she told me she was
going to marry the other fellow.
I understood he was a racing
man and gambier-a big talker.
1 didn't take UP with any other
girl, because I'd sort of lost
faith in them.
About a year after she mar
ried this other fellow, I met her
on the street and she came
along with me to my home. I
live with my mother.
"She cried and said she was
dreadfully unhappy, had been
in love with me all along, but
didn't realize it. I lent her $25.
My mother told me she was no
good and couldn't come to our
house any more.
MADE CATSPAW
1.-THE long and the short Of it
is have given her plenty of
money to get the divorce she's
always talking about, but she
never gets it. I've heard now
that her husband puts her up to
this, and don't like the idea OF
his making a cat's-paw of me.
1--WE been foolish enough to
write her some love letters, and
I'm wondering if she could hold
me to them. If she does get the
divorce, could I be sued for
breach of promise?" 'B. w. S."
While some Of the laws on
our statute books have been the
object of merriment, and used
as laugh-jerkers in comic operas,
none of them are quite as wild
as to permit a lady to sue one
man for breach of promise be-
cause of her accepting his at
tentions while she is the wife
of another.
Your mothers diagnosis of
the former girl friend, that she
is no good, is correct. This is
certainly a case when mother
knows best" In your own inter
eStS, please drop the vamp be.

UNRELIABLE HUSBAND
Dear Miss Fairfax:
"As my gas and electricity
have been turned off several
times because the bills are not
paid, I went out as a practical
nurse, staying at night with
friend just discharged from the
hospital.
"As a favor, asked a neigh
Dor to remain with my two little
children, 3 and 4 years Of age,
because my husband is unreli-
able and sometimes comes home
drunk.
HE did on that occasion, fall
ing over furniture, and ordered
the neighbor out of the house
at midnight.
II have to go through so
much, with debts, dunS, back
bills, no money to properly feed
the children, that I am con-
sidering taking the advice Of
friends and putting my hus-
band on probation. The trouble
is that I don't know how to go
about it.
"BEWILDERED."
AS you see, I have left out
more than half the horrors in
your letter to me. That any
woman could endure these
things and remain sane is one
more proof that mother-love
can work miracles.
