U* Aattk* CaliL Advertising is the Sunlight of Business To all that is healthy and vital in business, it means increased strength and growth ; but advertising is a fierce heat which withers and consumes that which is unsound. A business which is not a good business should not be advertised. A business which would not benefit from widespread appreciation of its ideals had better acquire a new set of ideals.

The ANITA Company, Dept. 829 ANITA Bldg., Newark. N. J. Whose Fault Is This— Star, Director, or Both? HI, ho! What do you mean Mr. Star, using a pick and shovel, as an oil scout ? In view of the fact that oil is found at depths of from three to five thousand feet, a derrick is used to drill, and it sometimes takes a year before pay sand is hit. This picture was shown in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and surrounding towns. The laugh is on you. ^sop, the wise old owl of Greece, once said, "Know thyself." Had he lived in this movie age, he might have changed it to, "Know thy subject, before portraying it." Who ever saw a fireman coming in from a long trip, without a speck of smudge on his face, and lily-white hands nicely manicured? If Maurice Barrymore were alive today, would he or any of the old school, do these things? Even among our best of this decade, Guy Bates Post, or Tyrone Power, the smallest detail would be correct, because they are not of the mushroom variety. I saw, with my own face and eyes, a typewriter which lias not been used in large offices since about 1900, fa blind machine) used in a late picture. What office girl or boy, would not notice this error? I repeat, what d'you mean? If you are getting five thousand dollars a week, six square meals a day, eight days a week, why not take a vacation, and find out how things are done in real life — not reel life? Barnum once said the public loves to be fooled. Yes, perhaps, but dont get caught at it. For the blue-eyed boy, at a million a year, is putting a screen nail in his coffin, every time these mistakes are made. Listen to this, O ye Australian Crawlers ! A swimmer was swimming the breast stroke, and 1"* caught a man swimming the Australian crawl. This simply ain't done. In a court-room scene, the defendant is locked in a cage, on the other side of room from the attorney, who was obliged to cross, every time he conversed with his client, and a murder trial at that. If the writer does not understand his subject, the long envelope is returned with a "not suited to our magazine" inclosed slip, a most depressing sight ; but when a celebrity makes a picture of a penitentiary scene, without ever having been even in a real honest to goodness jail. the dear public pays out their hardearned shekels, to be humbugged. Is this fair? I ask you, is it? Gene. (Ninety-four)
