As a Southrn author—ono imbued with the history, background, cul- tural development and the new manifestation of the South, the name of Frederic Arnold Kummer was suggested to him, and Mr. Kummer was engaged to write a story about ihe title “Dixle.” The “Dixie” which Mr. Kummer will write and which Mr. Laemmie has long visioned is ln no way lim- ited to the scope of the song. It will merely catch the &pirit ot the char- acteristic tune which every South- erner knows. The task Wwhich Mr. Kummer has undertaken is to put every bit of sentiment for which “Dixle” stands into the medium of the moving pic- turé art, endow it with real char- acters, national characters, the pas triotism, the romance, the chivalry and the colorful history of the South, and to bring ull these elements into a modern, heart-gripping, interést- compelling love story.
