IT tells of the romances, adventures, great preparations of marvellous ingenuity and the hundreds of other things that go into the making of screen plays. It shows how inventors have overcome difficulties. It is a popular account of everything concerning the subject — trick pictures and how they are produced; pictures in color; pictures that move and talk; the making and costs of the most elaborate "sets" and studio equipment; the risks taken by photographers and players; the secrets of many sensational climbing and jumping feats ; what the audience does not see in the most daring wild animal films, and a great many other inside facts the "movie" patron delights in knowing. SCREENLAND Book Department 236 WEST 55th ST., NEW YORK, N. Y. pride of Texas was impugned. Well, his luck couldn't last for ever, Come on, worm — turn! It turned! The cards that had run amazingly for Dix reversed and his chips wenl with them — reds, whites and blues in stacks each stack a monument to his loss. The game took on new zest. Luck had fmishec and this was poker! Another hour found Dix digging into his pockets while the Texans played and wor new chaps, new hats, new saddles and spurs Hooray for Texas! They were showing hirr now! Still the gnarled spectator watched Rich's hand over his shoulder. His head cocked curiously. It rather conveyed the' impression that Dix was crazy. Then he chucklec and stretched back with the uncanny measure of human understanding that hardbitter old reprobates possess, until the game ended. "Well boys. I'm cleaned." Dix confessed. "Tough luck, but you're playing in ; tough school"; six huskies consoled him, anc after the door closed and Dix went battling through the rain towards the homestead "He's reg'lar right enough; but, no sir, hi can't play poker." Up spake the oracle — down his pipe-stem "You're durned tootin' he can't play poker I been figuring out his game. You bird think you beat him. Say, he's been layini down full-hands against your straights am flushes; he's been tossing in three of a kim to your two pairs." "Huh!" A surprised, incredulous choru of "Huh's!" "At first I couldn't understand it," th old man chuckled. "Then I doped it ou this way. He'd beaten each of you fo more than your month's pay — and he earn a hundred times more in one week than yo do in a month. So he passed back you money and some of his own in a way the wouldn't get you sore.

If you went back over his tracl you'd strike a hundred communities fa: flung between Alaska and the Caribbean Se echoing the Texan verdict: "Sure, he's rej ular!" From them and from electricians an cameramen working around Paramount Long Island Studio, but never from Di himself, you may hear real location tales. . . I beg to banish the myth that all he-me of the screen are as eager for the great ou doors as their press-agents paint them. Wh should they be? They're human. And li ten, you boys who require your adventui served up in a movie seat: — It's nice to bi lieve that adventure calls; but adventure sweat while it's happening; and hardshi only grows glamorous in retrospect whe you tell your friends about it afterwarc over mellowed whiskey and a civilized ciga I remember how Larry Trimble, who use to produce those remarkable Stronghea: pictures, pushed his fingers through his re hair in the desperation of casting "The Loi Master". The picture meant a winter an spring in Banff, the company practical! frozen in for six months — men, women, doj and wolves. Larry needed a male leai Name after name was suggested and rejec ed. Didn't troup well — too much temper; ment — always wanting to take the first trai back — grumblers. "At that, you can't blame them," Lan confessed.
