Our sc Subscribe to Screenland $2.50 One Year $4.50 Two Years Thirty years ago, out in Youngstown, Ohio, Benjamin Warner's shoe shop was going on the rocks. "What is not clear to me," he would say, shaking his head stolidly, "is that these people here will go into a store and pay four dollars for a pair of leaky shoes rather than to come to us and get a pair made from fine leather on their own last for three dollars and seventyfive cents." "Maybe, papa," ventured Albert the diplomatic, "maybe you make them too heavy. I notice now," he continued, "that here in the shops the shoes arc lighter and more stylish." The father shook his head again. So was I taught to make shoes in the old country. And so was my father^ taught. And so will I go on making them." Soon the situation became so critical that the boys decided to give up their small time jobs in the town and visit larger cities in search of work. Sam became a fireman on the Erie. Harry and Albert got positions in Chicago, working in the big meat packing industries. Jack found that he had a very nice tenor voice and so was exploiting himself singing illustrated songs in the 'store-shows' and nickelodeons throughout the middle west. Day after day as Sam stood feeding his 'Iron Horse,' roaring along the Erie Railroad, the coal flames reflecting shadows over his sensitive, grime-smeared face, he kept thinking of some quick stroke whereby he might pull his family out of their commonplace rut and give his father Benjamin and his mother the comforts to which their hard work had entitled them. One rainy morning in April, 1898, Sam could no longer contain the energies and ideas which swarmed out of his healthy young body and mind. "I'll have to do something, I'll have to do something" the wheels of his mind turned as fast as the wheels of the locomotive. On the impulse of the moment, he resigned from the Erie, hopped a freight tram and determined to 'ride the rods' until he found some opportunity for a larger life. Two days later as he rode into Sandusky, Ohio, still on the rods, along the track he noticed a carnival setting up its tents for the coming week's performance. Ferris Wheel. Merry Go Round. Paddle Wheels. Hot Dog Stands. Concessions of all kinds. And over in a distant corner of the lot, he noticed a sign which read: 'THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY — THE GREATEST NOVELTY THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN.' This was one time when an advertising poster nearly spoke the truth! Sam got a job setting up the chairs and cleaning out the tent in which the first movie of any importance, 'The Great Train Robbery,' was being shown. He saved every cent he made, except what he spent for food in the tent-show boarding house, slept on the ground, washed his clothes when they were dirty, and before long had saved enough to buy a print of this film, and also a second-hand, shaky projection machine. Calling the rest of the family to battle, children and mother started out on the road with one of the first moving picture 'road shows' ever to tour America. Harry gave up his meat packing job and looked after the money. Albert joined up to procure booking for the picture. Sister Rose played the piano. Another sister took tickets at the door. Jack sang his tenor songs and blacked up between times to step on the scene when something went wrong. Mama cooked good goulash, washed and darned the clothes, and generally kept the
