EDITORIAL ANNOUNCEMENT THE SPRING NUMBER Will Be "THE BEST YET" 'Long about last November, we said something about "BEST YET." Lots of people wrote in, saying that the December issue was so fine that they did not believe us when we said that the January number would be the BEST YET. But they DID believe it when they saw that fine January number. "Always Better" seems to be the rule with us, and we just cant help it ! For, was not the February number better even than that superb January number? And is not this March number a better book than the February issue? We have lots of good things coming, besides better stories, better pictures and better printing. Among them is a very interesting article entitled : "Old New England Wall-Papers" The Forerunners of Modern Motion Pictures by Mary Harold Northend and Mary Taylor Fait. The article is handsomely illustrated, and it will be found extremely interesting as well as instructive. And dont forget the final clash of the distinguished belligerents in the Great Debate-Shall the Plays Be Censored? You will want to read this in order to complete your knowledge on this all-important subject. And in the April number, containing the closing arguments in the censorship debate, will be an important article on " Motion Pictures and the Eyes 99 Leonar<i Keene Hirshberg, a.b., m a., mj>. by Leonard Keene Hirshberg,* A.B., M.A., M.D. (Johns Hopkins), who is an eminent authority. This article will tell you all about the effect of Motion Pictures on the eyesight, and give you some scientific opinions that you should know about. And so you cant afford to miss this GREAT SPRING NUMBER Order it from your theater or newsdealer now. We shall print an enormous edition, but even then you are likely to hear the familiar words "Sold out!" unless you place your order in advance. *Dr. Hirshberg was recently awarded first prize for a treatise on "Improved Methods of Personal Hygiene," among 900 eminent competitors, and the Mendels $1,000 prize for a treatise on research, followed by a $400 award from the Rhode Island Medical Association. He received his degree of bachelor of arts from Johns Hopkins, and the degree of M.D. from the Hopkins Medical College, after which he took a post-graduate course at the great university at Heidelberg.
