Silver Screen (Nov 1936-Apr 1937)

S2 Silver Screen for January 1937 A Movie Fan's Crossword Puzzle By (^Karlottc Hertert Gladys Swarthout SO THIS is a new year! We hope it brings an invention or two into daily use. Inventions, notlring else, just inventions, have changed our ^va.y of living since the days when our forefathers and foremaminas lived in caves. Take motion pictures, for instance, and that is what we were leading up to. One day Deacon Hannibal Goodwin of Ne^vark discovered ho^v to make celluloid in tape form. His mixture changed to celluloid as it ran out so that he could make as long a ribbon as he wished. That was the birth of our movies. No Deacon, no movies. Thomas A. Edison worked out the sprocket holes so that the pictures would not jump and soon the public could pay ten cents and see photographs that moved. There were theatres to be built, studios to be started and actors to be hired, and so Mr. Zukor came along. Adolph Zukor arranged to get the pictures made and distributed all over the world. That ivas twenty-five years ago and this is his jubilee month. Short films of AVestern characters on horses, with chases, led to long films and lamous performers. The Famous Players organization began its forward march toward longer and better pictures in better theatres, and the movie show in an empty store with two flaming arcs outside slo\vly disappeared. With what imagination the picture business was developed! What bravery and ivhat valiant showmanship went into this gro\ving art! The newspapers began to print revie^vs of the movies and to recognize the public s interest in them. Motion picture advertising became increasingly important and the tremendous husincss of making and selling nio\ies began to lake its place— the fifth industry in America. The Sarah Bernhardt picture was the first one Mr. Zukor distributed and now his company, to celebrate the occasion, is releasing "Champagne Waltz." Gladys Swarlliout, grand opera singer, stars in this pidure. And thus he passes another niilesione. I.ct us give him a long and lusty cheer as he goes down the road, for life has been much pleasanler because of Mr. Zukor, Happ\ )ubilce lo \ou all! across 1 Johnny in "Yours for the Asking" 4 Her latest picture is "The Garden of Allah" n Valet to "Piccadilly Jim" 15 A suffix 16 Her next picture will be "Maytime" 18 The ingenue in "The Gay Desperado" 19 Rowdy Dow in "The Gorgeous Hussy" 20 Pertaining to medicine 21 Turf 22 Certain brand of gasoline 23 Large bodies of water 24 Elongated fish 28 The tallow tree 30 Fear 32 Scent 35 Andrew Jackson in "The Gorgeous Hussy" 36 Prohibit 37 Loretta Young and Don Ameche played in this 38 Slang expression of approval (abbr.) 39 To be 40 Upon 41 A savory jelly in which meats are served 46 South American animal 49 One of the four stars in "Libeled Lady" 51 Rose in "The Devil Is a Sissy" 53 Sailors 54 Army Ordinance Dept.
