THE MOCKING BIRD
Rv FANNY F.. Gath

Dy RAINY T.. UdCH
The mocking-bird sings from his
home in the trees,
He is bursting with joy as he
swings in the breeze.
He darts into the air trilling the
notes of the Lark,
Then he wheels back to his perch
with the call of the stork.
He runs the gamet of every bird
song sung,
And yet song of his own he can
not boast one.
He is at once the "Jeckel' and yet
the "Hyde",
Of all bird kingdom of the South
country side. aeae.f.
He sings and calls from morn till
night,
But is at his best when the moon
is bright.
You think the trees full of Cardi-
mails, Robins, Orioles and Wrens.
But the rascal has only filched the
songs of his friends. ,sf
He leases and .scolds all birds with
a taunt,
Then drives them away from their
accustomed haunt.
Next he COPIES their songs and makes
them his own.
With an impudent dash and
perfect tone.
He holds you spell-bound from mid
night till dawn.
But he plavs havoc with your
sleep until you yaWn,
He then Julls you to rest and woos
YOU to sweet slumber. !

gentle P1over.

rectly to q moving picture studio
and shown each phase Of the work
done, by an expert in that line. A
British book Of similar content Is
"Footnotes to the Film," by Charles
Davy.
A type Of picture which has as
sumed importance In recent years is
the documentary or propaganda Aim,
excellent examples Of which were
shown in Washington last winter
when THE River" and "The Plow"
were presented ut the Little Theater,
sponsored by the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration Is part Of their land
conservation program. This kind Of
picture originated abroad and has
been used extensively in European
countries as POLITICAL propaganda.
"The Documentary Film" by Paul
Rotha, who lectured here last year
on this subject, is an interesting
commentary.
In his Film, and Theater," Al
lardyce Nicoll of the Yale Dramatic
Department takes up the cudgels for
the films, pointing out in a piece of
very constructive criticism the ar
tistic possibilities of what is, after
all, still a very youthful art.
To those who are interested in
writing scenarios lamar Lanes
New Technique Of Screen Writing"
and L'Estrange Fawcett's Writing
for the Films" will be useful, and
also "Hollywood's Movie Command
ments," by Olga j. Martin, which
gives lucid explanation Of the
Motion Picture Production Code,
familiarity with which is invaluable
to writer's, reviews and to the many
groups interested In film regulation.
