112 TEE MOTION PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE The World-Film By DOROTHY DONNELL Life is an ever-changing photoshow, Where in and out upon the screen we go, With merry step, or dragging foot, and slow. Here priests pass by, with deep, abstracted air; And now a shepherdess, with wreathcrowned hair ; And now a drudge ; and now a lady fair. Here goes a miser, with his bag of gold ; Here courtiers, and clowns, and pirates bold ; And here pass gay, young hearts, and hearts grown old. The films roll on, the time flies swiftly by, With many a jest, and many a weary sigh, Until the hour of midnight draweth nigh. Then thru a sudden silence, dim and gray, There rings a voice — majestic, far away — "Unmask, and greet the Censor of the Play." Then we shall see beneath the king a clown, A noble 'neath the jester's motley gown, And on the head of Poverty a crown. Then only when the midnight hour is passed, And when the masks have fallen, swift and fast, Shall we heboid Life's puzzles solved at last. DO I OG, DON'T I Ci£TANV DINNEB? ~£. w6e we Pun oy TROUBLE-MAKERS FOR THE ANSWER MAN (See pages 133-158)
