HULL I WOOD.
In the spring any studios fancy
lightly turns to thoughts Of love.
Not because the studios Of Holly
wood are romantic. Business comes
first and spring is the best time to
get busy and manufacture those
soulful, blissful epics that stir the
hearts Of fandom come June.
This June, 1914, finds no excep-
ton to the old policy and If movie
houses aren't Offering love as their
main theme dish these summer days
it's not because the pictures aren't
to be had. Because studios felt they
had gone more than q little over
board on war and horror subjects
these last few months they all got
busy early in the spring and put q
flock Of tender, idyllic little love
stories before the cameras. More
than ever before, records show.
And that's the crop movie houses
are now, or soon will be, harvesting.
There's an abundant supply Of these
nostalgia pieces Of celluloid, too
enough to last well into September,
perhaps longer. As 4 matter OF rec
ord the production slate today
which means release three to six
months hence-shows q surprising
tendency to lean from the srisly
side Of life.
] The silly season led OF with "Tlne
Adventures Of Mark Twain" which
contains q gentle, believable love
story, with Alexis Smith playing
the much-loved Livvy to Fredric
