12 Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section You're Afraid" " I am 'f afraid." "You are." " I ain't." "You are." What would have happened next if you were a boy? A frightful mix-up. With the calm unreasonableness of youth these two boys fought without even knowing each other — just as you have fought many a time — just because you couldn't help it. MARK TWAIN No wonder our soldiers and sailors like Mark Twain best. No wonder the boys at Annapolis told Secretary Daniels that they would rather have Mark Twain than anyone else. To them, as to you, Mark Twain is the spirit of undying youth — -the spirit of real Americanism — for he who came out of that loafing, out-at-elbows, down-at-the-hee!s Mississippi town — he has passed on to the world the glory of our inspiring Americanism — the serious purpose that underlies our laughter — for to Mark Twain humor is only incidental — and he has made eternal the springs of its youth and enthusiasm. Take Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer by the hand and go back to your own boyhood. A Big, Human Soul Perhaps you think you have read a good deal of Mark wain. Are you sure? Have you read all the novels? Have you read all the short stories? Have you read all the brilliant fighting essays? — all the humorous ones and the historical ones? Think of it — 25 volumes filled with the laughter and the tears and the fighting that made Mark Twain so wonderful. He was a bountiful giver of joy and humor. He was yet much more, for, while he laughed with the world, his lonely spirit struggled with the sadnessof human life, and sought to find the key. Beneath the laughter is a big, | human soul, a big philosopher. Low Price Sale Must Stop 25 VOLUMES Novels Boys' Stories Humor Essays Travel History Mark Twain wanted everyone in America to own a set of his books. So one of the last things he asked was that wc make a set at so low a price that everyone might own it. He said: 'Don't make fineeditions. Don'tmakc editions to sell for $200 and $300 and $1,000. Make good books — books good to look at and easy to read, and make their price low." So we have made this set. And up to now we have been able to sell it at this low price. Rising costs make it impossible to continue the sale of Mark Twain at n low price. New editions will cost very much more than this Author's National Edition. But now the price must go up. You must act at once. You must sign and mail the coupon now. If you want a set at a popular price, do not delay. Thiscdition will soon be withdrawn, and then you w ill pay considerably more tor you* Mark Twain. The last "i the edition is in sight.
