It is not surprising. Pictures about the martyred President always have been well received and have The first life of Lincoln was produced by the old Frank McGlynn played the President. Then came the Rockett Brothers' “Abraham Lincoln” in 1924 The late George Billings was starred and the picture cost $180,000 and showed a nice profit. Four years later, D. W. Griffith gave the screen another Lincoln, Walter Huston. Huston's shoes had to be built up four and one-half inches to give him the required height. The film cost $450,000 and, three years later, had re- turned its makers $1,150,000. It still is earning Griffith about $10,000 a year in royalties. HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Nov. made money.

Ever since “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” was such a smash hit, all the studios have been wracking their brains trying to devise a picture on the same formula. R-K-O appears to have done it with “The Castles.” The new Astaire-Rogers picture will revive 30 old song hits. These 12 are to be featured: “The Pink Lady,” “Madame Sherry,” “The Darktown Strutters’ Ball,” “Oh, You Beautiful Lad; By the Light of the Silvery Moon.” ‘When You Wore a Tulip,” “By the Sea, by the Sea,” “Let’s Settle Down ottt S 0t = ...DINNER ... is the highlight of the day when i i 3 notice. it is prepared by the master chefs and served excellently, amid the sparkling surroundings of the new PERCY’S in a One-Horse Town,” “The Yama Yama,” “It's a Long Way to Tipperary,” “Every Little Movement Has a Meaning of Its Own” and “Keep the Home Fires Burning.” Bring back memories to you? Tought luck for Hedy Lamarr’s boy friend, Reginald Gardin- er, falling down a flight of stairs and breaking his elbow in three places. Tough luck for Franchot Tone, too. Reggy is working in Franchot's picture, “Katherine the Last,” and his injury is liable to hold things up and make it tough for Tone to get back to Broadway by November 22 to rehearse for the play, “Gentle People.” It's a good thing for Gardiner that Hedy is working in “New York Cinderellas.” The boys certainly would try to move in. Don't know whether you remember her—the Hollywood parade moves on so swiftly—but, about two-and-a-half years ago, Beulah Hutton was under contract to Universal. She was a beauty and had a chance at a career. Then came an auto accident that scarred her face. In course of time, she got a job as stand-in at 20th Century-Fox for Virginia Field, Shirley Deane and several others. Well, the story has a happy ending. Time and surgery have removed the scars and Beulah is to get that rare thing, a second opportunity. She becomes an actress -again in a new Jones Family picture, Stars are superstitious people. Isa Miranda’s first real success Jin European pictures happened to coincide with the hiring of a Russian secretary, Eugenia Andamir. When Isa came to Holly- wood to make “Zaza,” her secretary didn't have a quota number and had to stay at home. But “Zaza” didn’t turn out so well. Claudette Colbert had to take over the part. Now, Isa is about to try again in “Hotel Imperial.” And this time the secretary is here. In case you haven't noticed, the letters of the secretary’s name, Andamir, can be rearranged and made to spell Miranda.

BOARD BY THE MONTH AND SAVE———$37.50 ERWIN'S CAFE South Franklin Street Empire Presents--- SHORT TALKS ON ADVERTISING (FIFTH SERIES) Prepared by the Bureau of Research and Education, Advertising Federation of America Culture on Num Conirary to the impression among many scholars, culture in this world is absolutely dependent upon economic prosperity. It was no accident that the Periclean Age came at a time when ancient Greece was very pros- perous and had established a thousand trading posts in all parts of the civilized world. When her commercial prosperity died out, the culture of Grece was at end end too. The great Augustan period of Roman lit- erature flowered when the Roman Empire enjoyed its peak of commercial prosperity and collapsed when the economic system col- lapsed. The same was true with the Italian Renaissance, that golden period of art and culture. When material riches of business failed to sustain it, the creative period of culture was at an end. After all, artists must eat and must have leisure time to do their work. At every age in history it was the mater- ial wealth of industry that stimulated and supported cultural pursuits. As a result, cul- ture today is most widespread in those lands where industry is most productive. America has been fortunate in this respect, due to our highly efficient business system with its mass production and modern advertising. In the United States we have had 150 years of unparalleled productivity. With only 7 per cent of the world’s population living here, we have produced one-half of all the wealth on this globe. That is why, in these same 150 years, we have been able to build more schools and colleges than all the rest of the world combined. Culture in America is a thing for the m Over the Payroll ber 5 30,000,000 students are registered in our educational institutions. Among the greatest media for disseminat- ing culture in this country are newspapers, magazines, and radio, in all of which we lead the world. The combined circulation of the 13,000 periodicals and newspapers included in the Census is over 300,000,000 — nearly ten for every family. There are 700 broad- casting stations in the United States and 80 per cent of all families own radios. These great instruments of education and culture in our country are supported chiefly by revenue from advertising. The amount readers pay for most newspapers and maga- zines represents only a portion of their actual cost, and for radio broadcasts we pay nothing at all. Thus the very finest in lit- erature, art, and music is provided for the people without cost, as a by-product of the efficient working of our commercial system. Advertising does much more for culture besides supporting the bulk of our printed publications and radio broadcasts. Our entire economic prosperity is linked up with adver- tising, which is an indispensable part of the important process of large-scale selling with- out which our modern industries could not operate and could not support present-day cultural activities. Advertising helps to bring down the cost of the things necessary to a civilized existence and popularizes culture itself. In many ways, advertising subsidizes edu- cation for the masses and stimulates people with the necessary desire to attain a higher level of culture. Copyright 1938, Advertising Federation of Amerrca
