Aim at the 100% p I 4 No matter how good the feature pic- ture, how fine the story, or how prom- inent the name of the star may be, such a picture is only half of a motion picture theatre program. The other half is comprised of Short Subjects, such as the news reel, the scenic drama, the comedy, the special- ties in short length.
