For the scenes dominated by Robert Brower, as the dying king, grandfather to the Crown Prince — played by Jackie — Schertzinger has written a new Father Song, which will doubtless achieve as great popularity as his "Just An Old Love Song" heard with the presentation of the "Robin Hood" film. And so on, through the long list of different scenes, Director Schertzinger has contributed these original melodies appropriate for the action ?nd the players throughout the story, which has resulted in fat greater feeling in their work. When "Long Live the King" is played in the first-run houses of America, Schertzinger's music will be the accompanying orchestration. SCREEN KIDDIES ARE SMART. The great majority of children acting in motion pictures are intellectually above normal. Notwithstanding the fact that children of the acting profession have the reputation, in other spheres of life, of being impudent and spoilt, it is quite the contrary, says Bertha Wiley Wynne, a teacher assigned by the Los Angeles Board of Education to tutor youngsters working -on picture sets. "I taught in the public schools for many years," says this teacher, "and my work during the last year with the children at the studios has given me a chance to compare the children in public schools and those in the studios." Miss Wynne, who is tutoring Bruce Guerin, Turner Savage and "Red" Ruben between "shots" of Frank Borzage's latest First National release, temporarily titled "Dust in the Doorway," believes that acting in pictures sharpens the intellect and teaches the children such intensive and instantaneous concentration that they are able to absorb knowledge with remarkable rapidity. The educational statutes require that the picture children be given three hours instruction daily if there are three or less youngsters of school age on the set. If there are more than three the lew requires four hours of instruction. In both cases the studies must be identical with the texts which the children would have if they were actually attending public school. . . Each teacher must have the sanction of board of education and the hours of instruction must be terminated by four o'clock in the afternoon. The teacher receives her pay from the picture company. Little Frankie Lee, one of the best known children in pictures, and Mary Jane Irving, almost equally as well known, are members of the cast of "Dust in the Doorway." These have their private tutors, who also comply with the state, county and city laws. Frankie not only has a private teacher but a private school as well. Producer Arthur H. Jacobs permitted Frankie to place a clause in his contract calling for the erection of a private school room adjacent to the picture set. Here he spends every spare moment between scenes in which he is required to appear. "I believe," says Miss Wynne, "that the discipline maintained on the set has much to do with the brightness of these children. They are accustomed to obeying instantly and their constant association with older people helps to advance their minds. "It is amazing how quickly a child can leave a scene and delve immediately into his studies without being bothered by the noise of the set, or the orchestra which is usually Coy Watson, Jr. Age 10.

"It is true that once in a great while a motion picture child is below normal, or is impudent, but that is very much out of the ordinary. The average child in the studios is quick to learn and has almost faultless manners."
