I interrupted him ruthlessly, for I couldn't permit the harsh criticism of Dicky which was trembling upon his lips.

I am wiser than I used to be and either wisdom or intuition tells me cynically that if Dr. Pettit were married and Dicky an in- voluntary witness to disagreements between the physician and his wife, it might be Dicky's turn to wax indig- ‘nant over the other man’s rudeness. The Biblical beam in the other chap's eve is always very easy to see. “Never mind that” I said hastily. “There’s something far m8re impor- tant that I must talk over with you, “Is This the Way—"" “Not for several weeks,” returned r.

William Fox has been the first to realize the opportunities that the screen presents for this type of pho- toplay. He believed that the screen extravaganza would be as much great- | er than the stage extravaganza as the dramatic picture is above that of the stage.
