THE STORY OF RIN-TIN-TIN The name of Rin-Tin-Tin has become a household word. Loved by children, admired by grownups, it is almost hard to recall the days when Rin-Tin-Tin in his new picture for the year has not been an important event in filmdom. Yet he has hardly matured. He is not yet more than in his full prime. And because each picture proves he has greater abilities, the pictures to come promise that much more to the legion who follow the films. It is almost unfair to his other pictures to speak of only three of them. In doing this, it has been the thought to point out three widely different stories, different actions and scenes, with the idea of pointing out to you his versatility. Perhaps the whole story of Rin-Tin-Tin can be summed up in this; that his enthusiasm is strong enough never to lessen. And after all, isn't that the real definition of greatness? And now, in conclusion, may we be permitted to point out the excuse for this book? It is not the story of Rin-Tin-Tin, for, after all, the real story of Rin-Tin-Tin can only be written when he, like all his forbears, goes to the happy hunting grounds. History cannot be written of those who live, only of those who have departed, for then only do we have the true perspective.
