Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1920)

Photoplay Magazine— Adnertising Section A Wife Too Many Into the hotel lobby walked a beautiful woman and a distinguished Jman. Little indeed did the gay and gallant crowd know that around these heads there flew stories of terror — of murder — and treason — that on their entrance half a dozen detectives sprang up from different parts of the place. Because of them the lights of the War Department in Washington blazed far into the night. With their fate was wound the tragedy of a broken marriage, of a fortune lost, of a nation betrayed. It is a wonderful story with the kind of mystery that you will sit up nights trying to fathom. It is just one of the stories fashioned by that master of mystery CRAIG KENlifiOY 'RwAmerican Sheriocfe Holmes if, i;,! 'J'' ARTHUR BR®^£ ^s American ConanVoyle %:^#^ He is the detective genius of ouf age. He has taken science — science that stands (or this age — and allied it lo the mystery and romance of detective fiction. Even to the smallest detail, every bit of the plot is worked out scientifically. For nearly ten years America has been watching this Craig Kennedy — marveling at the strange, new, startling things that detective hero would unfold. Such plots — such suspense — with real, vivid people moving through themaclstromoflife! Frenchmen havemastered (he art of terror stories. English writers have thtilled whole nationsby their artful heroes. Russian ingenuityhas fashioned wild tales of mystery. But all these seem old-fashioned— out-of-date — beside the infinite variety — the weird excitement of Arthur B. Reeve*s tales.

All day the boys had been dropping in to congratulate me on my promotion. But with Wright it was different. " When I had to give up school to go to work I came to the plant seeking any kind of a job — I was just a young fellow without much thought about responsibility. They put me on the pay-roll and turned me over to Wright, an assistant foreman then as now. He took a kindly interest in me from the first. 'Dowell the job that's given to you, lad,' he said, 'and in time you'll win out.' "Well, I did my best at my routine work, but I soon realized that if ever I was going to get ahead I must not only do my work well, but prepare for something better. So I wrote to Scranton and found I could get exactly the course I needed to learn our business. I took it up and began studying an hour or two each evening. " Why, in just a little while my work took on a whole new meaning. Wright began giving me the most particular jobs — and asking my advice. And there came, also, an increase in pay. Next thing I knew I was made assistant foreman of a new department. I kept right on studying because I could see results and each day I was applying what I learned. Then there was a change and I was promoted to foreman— at good money, too. "And now the first big goal is reached — I am superintendent, with an income that means independence, comforts and enjoyments at home — all those things that make life worth living. "Wright is still at the same job, an example of the tragedy of lack of training. What a truth he spoke when he said today, ' You've gone 'way past me, Jim, — and you deserve to. Heads win— every time ! '" Yes, it's simply a question of training. Your hands can't earn the money you need, but your head can if you'll give it a chance.
