The Photo-Play Journal (Jul 1919-Feb 1921)

58 Photo-Play Journal HIGH SCHOOL COURSE IN TWO YEARS You Want to Earn Big Money! And you will not be satisfied unless you earn steady promotion. But are you prepared for the job ahead of you? Do you measure up to the standard that insures success? For a more responsible position a fairly good education is necessary. To write a sensible business letter, to prepare estimates, to figure cost and to compute interest, you must have a certain amount of preparation. All this you must be able to do before you will earn promotion. Many business houses hire no men whose general knowledge is not equal to a high school course. Why? Because big business refuses to burden itself with men who are barred from promotion by the lack of elementary education. Can You Qualify for a Better Position? We have a plan whereby you can. We can give you a complete but simplified high school course in two years, giving you all the essentials that form the foundation of practical business. It will prepare you to hold your own where competition is keen and exact' Tig. Do not doubt your ability, but make up your mind to it and you will soon have the requirements that will bring you success and big money. YOU CAN DO IT. Let us show you how to get on the road to success. It will not cost you a single working hour. We are so sure of being able to help you that we will cheerfully return to you, at the end of ten lessons, every cent you sent us if you are not absolutely satisfied.

"Music Hath Charms" (Continued from page 49) emotional state of the hero or the heroine when the first scene flashes into view. The music suggests this. If we hear the "Miserere" from "II Trovatore," we know that the heroine has had quite a sad time of it ; and we are keyed to learn how she is going to continue her struggle for happiness or whatever other emotional satisfaction she may seek to grasp from the hands of life. The point is that interpretative music has replaced the flashback to a large extent. We are entering into a new phase of motion picture technique, in which more imagination is exercised than has heretofore been displayed. I refer to the pictorial presentation on the screen of the thoughts of one or more of the characters. Here we see in action, for just a moment, what the actor is thinking about, and then are brought back to the present situation. Music permits of this departure, for we are never at a loss to know that a particular character is thinking the ideas that he is acting in his mind's eye. But, like the flashback, this can be overdone. However, that now depends upon the intelligence of the producer. The interesting and noteworthy departure in the present state of music in connection with the photoplay theatre is the realization by everyone connected with motion picture production that a musical continuity must accompany a story continuity, in order to obtain the maximum emotional response from an audience. The next time you attend a motion picture exhibition, pay attention to the music as it changes from theme to theme with the progress of the picture. In a comedy, you will observe the dancing lightness of the music ; in drama, the moody seriousness that tugs at one's vocal chords, and tightens them and makes swallowing a hard process. Music hath charms, indeed; but she hath more. She hath the capacity to interpret completely all moods, all thoughts, all actions, in her own melodic way. Cuddles Grows Up (Continued from page 21) searching, until suddenly Mr. Lasky began to look in the realms of vaudeville. He soon had signed a contract with "Cuddles" to appear in pictures. By this time, Lila Lee and Mr. Smith had gone through the arduous process of picking out poses for a "new movie star-' at one of Fifth Avenue's photographers, and were speeding to another photographer. "Do you really think lots of girls will like these pictures?" asked "Cuddles" wistfully, and she was amazed when she learned the number of people who read the magazine and would see her pictures. "I shall buy a riding habit, and a gymnasium suit," she added, the eternal feminine coming to the fore, "for I shall need them if I keep on with my lessons out west." "How soon do you go?" asked the now thoroughly subjugated Mr. Smith. "Mrs. Edwards and Minnie and I start next week," was the enthusiastic answer, and "Cuddles" explained, that while she has been "out west" no less than three times, she has never really lived there, and longs for the fun that will be her's when she and Minnie, her maid and companion of long years standing, are settled in their Hollywood bungalow. "You see," she added, "we've never h-ad time to really keep House, and the fun of having a real home where I can have all the dogs and horses I want, and where I can have real parties, and learn to make fudge and everything." There was a suspicious moisture in Mr. Smith's eyes as he thought of his own girls who had been brought up on "parties and fudge and everything," and then of little Lila Lee, whose childhood had been spent until now in a weary round of rehearsals and "one night stands."
