 It takes the man, Charles Stew. art Parnell, as q symbol of all the courageous, reckless men of his- tory, to whom love was . greater thing than fortune or fame or power. It endows him with many Of the human weaknesses and some Of the human virtues tha, endear c man to his fellowmen.
 The role of Parneil Is played by Clark Gable. Myrna Loy DOT. trays the glamorous Katie O'shea. the woman Parneil loves to the OK. clusion of all else. It Is q difficult role and she plays 1t with . remark able depth of understanding. Tho supporting cast, with 75 speaking roles. b one of the finest ever as- sembled for a picture.

IT'S . joy to own a fine precision 4 camera with fast lens and shut ter. No one will deny that. Such cameras are versatile and open the way for picture taking under many conditions. Extremely fast action holds no terror for them. They laugh at poor light. If you want to special. ize on speed photography or indoor shots without special illumination. or shoot under adverse conditions in general, a precision.built, ultra fast lens camera Is the thing to own.
 If, however, you want Q camera to snap pictures under ordinary con. diticns, q simple, inexpensive one will serve admirably, afford a lot of pleasure and, as far as recording the subject is concerned, will make average snapshots just as well as the more elaborate type. Remember, I am referring to snapshooting un. der ordinary conditions.
 Artistic composition, shooting to capture fascinating and artistic shadows - which always add 50 much to . picture, interest appeal and lighting are strictly up to you. There isn't q camera made at any price that can tell you how, when or where to make . picture of rare quality and appeal. but experience will teach much.
 The fact that an unusual, interest. compelling snapshot was taken with a tricky" camera does not signify

9ioday mark the long awaited opcning Of "The Road Back" at WaynerS State theater for c { day run. The picturization of Erich Maria Remarque's heart rousing novel about conditions in Germany after the war has been six years on the way. The perspective of time has added new values to his story, which are mrought into strong re- lief through the medium of the camera.
 Because of what he wrote in "The Road Back" Remarque was exiled from his native land, SO strongly did his book stir national feeling. The author saw the unrest growing. saw the revolution that followed food riots, saw returned soldiers facing the trap of starvation.
 Remarque saw the wives whose husbands never came back: saw the SweetheartS who did not wait for the return of the men they had pro- missed to marry. He saw turmoil, human drama being lived every day. Re put onto hts story. "The Road Back" everything that he saw. He described the emotions of vibrant flesh.and blood people. The char acters were ready to step out of the book and into a movie set
 The cast includes Barbara Read, John King, Richard Cromwell. Slim Sumfierville, Andy Devine. Louise Fasenda, Noah Berry. Jr.. Maurice Murphy. John Emery, Etienne Girar. dot. Lionel Atwill. Henry Hunter, Larry Blake. Gene darrick. oreta Gynte. Spring Byineton. Laura Hope Cdews. Frank Reicher and Jean RouVerol.
 The companion feature is "The Big Shot" with Guy Kibbee, Cora Witherspoon. Dorothy Moore ana Gordon Jones. Laugh yourself loose at the harmless old horse doctor who inherited a million and the leadership of c gang of racketeers. It's sixty odd minutes of gayfun and laughs that make you forget your troubles.

that the same picture could not have been snapped equally as well with 8 simple camera by the same per. son. If a certain picture to be taken should be snapped at t.1l with . shutter speed of i 1/26 Of a second, 1t might take an expert to determine which of two prints of this sub1sct was taken with . beginners type of camera and which with one ot tho type used by the experts.
 So much depends on the person behind the camera. If you will make a study of pictures appearing in magazines, newspapers and picto. rial books you will learn much about the fundamentals of good picture making. You will And pictures of gardens, buildings, homes, people, animals and pets, close-ups and, in fact, just about every type of picture you will ever want to make. Study these pictures and note carefully the different angles from which some of them are taken. Study the lighting, the shadows and the very natural appearance of people in many of the pictures. You will soon develop an "eye for pictures" and when you do you will nnd that even your inexpensive camera will pro. duce the kind of pictures you thought were possible only with An expensive instrument.
 So you see, much depends on the man or woman behind the camera.
