There must be action in pictures for young people and folks who see with the eyes of youth. Action made motion} pictures what they are today and) action will continue to be the backbone of their very existence.

Brown and Laura Lee. opens at the Theatre for a run| of days. Youth Wants Action that youth Wellman points out must have action in the motion picture fare. In view of the fact! that it is estimated seventy per, cent of screen audiences are com posed of young people, action is a fundamental requirement in a Dic ture in order that it may be a success, “Of course, action alone cannot! carry a picture in popular favor.” | stated Wellman. “There must be a balance of story interest, cast, and love interest.” In his meteoric career as a director, Wellman has always been a maker of action stories. Among these are listed “Wings,” “Legion | of the Condemned,” “Beggars of Life,” “Dangerous Paradise,” “TheMan I Love,” “Young Eagles,” “Ladies of the Mob,” and others. With the direction of “Maybe It’s. Love,” Wellman has incorporated his ideas on action in modern talk| ing pictures, carefully maintaining | a fine balance of story construction | and love theme.
