THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MOVIES

strength and ability to achieve. He will not be torn away by the first gust of passion or pride. He will hold fast to the tree. He will become as much an integral part of the tree as any branch of it, and know that the fruits of his labors are the fruits of the tree, that every leaf on every branch, every root, be it as fine as a hair, helped him to bear the fruit.

College Boys and Girls in Pictures
THE average motion picture producer and director are agreed that the success of a picture depends upon the "big names" in the cast.
This conclusion has locked the door of opportunity to so many of the ambitious and talented boys and. girls who are earnestly striving to carve a career in picturedom.
I do not believe that the old experienced actors and actresses can make up to represent the real college type. I am giving preference to high school boys and girls and I believe they deserve it and will make good.
Since the love interest in my productions are purely "puppy love," I believe that picture-goers will agree with me that young and inexperienced actors are superior to older and more sophisticated artists. A sophisticated face in such a cast would, without doubt, detract from its merit and make the interpretation of the story unnatural.
Each story features an athletic event as well as a "puppy love" affair. To make these stories logical I am seeing to it that the leading man does not win both the athletic trophies and the girl's affections.
If he wins the cup he loses the girl. On the other hand if he wins the girl he must be satisfied to see his competitor walk away with the trophy.
Too many story writers and producers give everything to the featured player, including success in affairs of the heart as well as things financial. The ups and downs of life convince the picture goer that such hero stuff is illogical and unwarranted and tends to discourage the audience with its own walk in life. Quite naturally it can't help turning a great many picture fans against the members of the industry. /y
