Silver Screen (Nov 1938-Apr 1939)

Silver Screen for January 1939 74 q^:^^-^^ A Movie Fan's Crossword Puzzle By Charlotte Herbert Lew Ayres WE HAVE felt that the movie theatre in your town was perhaps the leadin' educational institution o£ your community, and if you will think for a moment of this University of Pictured Wisdom or College of the Story Tellers, perhaps you will recall some valuable thought that came into your mind because of something that you saw in a film. We know of a young man who, having seen a good picture, took it to heart and the next day talked to someone about an idea that he had had for some time. He had lacked the confidence needed and the picture in the theatre gave him just the enthusiasm to make him get out and put it over. In other words, he learned something from his visit to the great night school of the movies. * * * ANYONE who has lived long enough to l\ see the spendthrifts grow poorer and the frugal grow rich, realizes that there is a lesson for each one of us in other men's lives. But it takes so long for other men to live out their destinies that the lessons are lost to most of us. How wonderful then are i lie moving picture characters who in one evening, before our eyes, make the adventurous trip that encompasses their lives. We see a living man go through a time of storm and stress and from him we learn a truth perhaps that only a lifetime of living could have given us, if we had not had the inestimable privilege of going to the movies. In "Young Dr. Kildare," Lew Ayres plays the part of a young man who wants to be somebody and to do something, but he doesn't know where he belongs. It is a fine picture, well played and well thought out. And so a person who goes to the movies can see many lives pass before him and he can learn many things, and yet when he comes out of the theatre he will still be a young man. He has met with pictured wisdom and his life lies ahead. * * # WE CANNOT leave "Young Dr. Kildare" without a word about Jo Ann Sayers. She is a new face in pictures. Somewhere she has been growing up without our being aware of it and in this, her first part, she gives us the satisfying and convincing performance of a talented girl. There is no mistaking the pure white light of a genuine diamond, and it flashed before our eyes when Jo Ann Sayers moved into the character and brought it to lite. She is one of our "must sees" from now on.
