FILM FOLLIES

POINTS to ADVERTISE ■with CHRISTIE FILMS
1. Class of production: It is a wellknown fact that the new Christie Comedies introduce the same type of dressed-up setting and general class of production which is seen in the best features. There is no jarring on the eye when a Christie Comedy follows the best-dressed features made today.
2. Variety of subjects: There is an individual difference in plot and type from each preceding comedy in the series.
3. Humor with wholesomeness: The latter does not take away a bit from real comedy values. The public is being educated to a high type of humor in its screen comedy and farce.
4. Human interest stuff.
5. The players: Such comedy stars as Neal Burns, Bobby Vernon, Dorothy Devore, Viora Daniel, Vera Steadman and all the other leads have been known and liked by picture audiences for six years. They are also genuine looking young people and liked for this quality.
FIRST CHRISTIES in NEW SERIES are RELEASED this MONTH
The first of the big new series of Educational-Christie comedies, part of the coming year’s schedule of twenty pictures, are released this month.
The first releases are “Pardon My Glove,” a prize fight comedy featuring Bobby Vernon; and “The Son of a Sheik,” featuring Neal Burns. Vera Steadman appears with Vernon in the first story and Viora Daniel in the second.
Christie’s determination to produce twenty Christie Comedies this year instead of twenty-four, the number released during the last twelve-month period, will enable the company to use the same number of people, the same number of directors, and have more writers and money available for the production of a smaller number of films. This means progress in class of production over the year which is past.
