President Endorses
 Christmas Seal Sale
White Plague SCOurge in America, Says Nations Chief Executive

Washington, Nov. 25. = Nothing less than the complete eradication of the scourge of tuberculosis from this country should be the aim of every citizen in giving support to the annual Christmas Seal Sale of the National Tuberculosis associa- tion and its afiliated groups, Presi- dent Roosevelt said today in erdors- ing the associations thirty-second annual campaign which opens on Thanksgiving day. Such support, says the president, "beconneS 8 pa- triotic duty"
 President Roosevelt said that the work of the tuberculosis associa- tions in teaching people that the disease is preventable and curable and that people can be returned to health and strength is of the high est value.
 with the approach of the holiday season we are again forcibly re- minded that the nationwide attack on tuberculosis is a year around campaign, made possibly through the proceedsof Christmas Seals, President Roosevelt said. Since 1907 these well known seals, which will go on sale throughout the United States on Thanksgiving day, have played an important part in stamp ing out tuberculosis and saving the lives of countless numbers of people stricken with this dread diseases.
 'The work which the National Tuberculosis association and its af- fliated organizations are doing in teaching people that tuberculosis is

preventable, that 1t is curable, and that great ?, mbers of tuberculosis patients can he restored to health and strength, IS of the highest value. It deserves the support of our citi- zens everywhere. Such support in 8 very real sense becomes a patriotic duty.
 '@The proceeds from the sale of the Christmas Seals will furnish the sinewS of war with which to attack this menace on all fronts: through preventive measures, education, free clinics, disqualification and nursing service. Our goal must be nothing less than the complete eradication of this scourge of tuberculosis from our nation. Through the power of the Christmas Seal everybody can help in attaining that goal. In the true spirit of Christmas let us as 8 nation give generous support to this campaign to protect the health of every man, woman and child within our borders.1

It isn't nice to discourage energetic
boys and girls at time like this. but
it might save many heartache and
a fortune as well If the misadventures
Of some of those equally ambitious
old-timers were studied
Horror example No, comes from
Charlie Ray. Charlie was one Of q
stable group Of name personalities
of is years ago taken over by the old
First National Exhibitors circuit and
urged to flee the octopus Of studio
production and head their own COM
panies. Rays personal assets were
listed at around two millions when
he started his venture. Such pictures
as The Egg Crate Wallop" and Girl
Dodger" had made him the greatest
male draw of that period. When syco-
phantic camp followers began whls-
pering pretty words about art" into
Charles ears he believed them,
launched his own company and. within
two years. lost his entire fortune.
REFORE lining up with United
Artist. Mary Pickford had a sor-
rowful experience as an independent
producer. During this trying period
she made three money-making fea-
lures. but they were far below Pickford

burden herself of business worries
when she went before the camera
In The Hoodlum." Heart of the

was not the carefree figure she at
tempted to impersonate on the screen.
Anita Stewart slid into oblivion at

Harry Langdon supplies another
striking example. Ten years ago. he
was climbing to the top Of the feature
comedy field. Then came Q fiattering
offer for him to be financed at the
head Of his own company. Langdon
selected his own scenarios. decided
to change his characterization-an
within a year, his name was only a
faint memory to most Of the fans.
In any effort on the part OF screen
artists to assert themselves As pro-
duction geniuses. the story problem
will always loom as their greatest
test. Strangely. few actors seem to
have the slightest idea Of what kind
of story material is marketable ut
the box ofIice. They'll tell you they'd
"like to do" this book or that play,
but only because they can visualize
some of their own acting tricks ~
showing up brightly in it. In nine

details Of movie production in a man

Maybe yes. maybe no, but Holly

sWers to those questions right now. On
those answers hinge the fate of Agent
Myron Selznick's startling plan to turn
20 or more top stars into a brigade
OF individual producers.
History holds out little encourage
ment for that adventurous group.
Many have tried the scheme of run
ming their own companies in the past
but dismal failure has greeted them
in practically every instance. Aside
from that select gathering which
banded together back in 1919 under
the name of United Artists, not q sin
