No Superlatives Are Used in the Effort
AMOTION PICTURE is a combination of the rarest talents — Author, director, actor, designer, cameraman — the representatives of 276 arts, crafts and professions join hands in the production of a motion picture . . .
Thought, skill, effort, courageous investment go into it . . .
If a great novel captures the attention of the world, it is dramatized for the screen . . .
If a hit play is produced on the stage in London, Paris or New York, it is translated into a motion picture . . .
The most successful authors are engaged to give their art to the movies — while outstanding composers contribute their most important music . . .
America's best known writers of popular songs and librettos create screen musical comedies . . .
Players are sought and tested, schooled in voice
and pantomime and camera tests are made to secure the best characterizations . . .
Expeditions are sent to the far corners of the globe for authentic atmosphere . . . artists, architects, historians, scientists engaged to make certain of the correctness of literary and pictorial details . . .
In the laboratory endless care to insure perfect presentation . . . Previews before audiences to test public reaction . . . Everything is done to make the motion picture what it is today.
For nearly fifty years the motion picture has been developing, improving. And never before in all its history has it offered you such glorious entertainment as now, on the eve of its Golden Jubilee.
Fine pictures are coming to your favorite theatre one after the other — pictures that have called
forth all the skill, all the imagination, all the resources of one of the world's great industries. Pictures that will give you relaxation and diversion. Pictures that will take you to distant lands, show you strange scenes and exotic peoples, unlatch for you the mansion doors of millionaires and the cottage doors of plain folks, turn back for you the pages of history, make great events live again.
Pictures that will make you laugh and cry . . . pictures that will pull you to the edge of your seat, tense with excitement . . . pictures that will bring you adventure . . . romance . . . LIFE.
Your theatre man, too, has caught the spirit of this new, exciting amusement season. With his great sense of showmanship he is introducing a contest which will make "going to the movies" still greater fun — a contest which will make your visit to his theatre not only entertaining but perhaps highly profitable as well.
