HERE ARE SOME MORE ‘DONT’S’ FOR MOVIE FANS Don’t knock the movies. They are today one of the greatest edu cational factors in all the world They have faults, just like automo- biles, sermons and congressmen. Don't fall in love with th ing man—he's nearly always mar. ried; nor the leading Iady—she's thinking of Mer art and clothes and salary. Don’t think the movies a G. R. Q game. It used to be, but it isn’t any more. It requires money, in telligence and hard work to win in the picture game. This, of course, refers to the producing end. Don't believe everything you hear about movie people, either bad or good. The best of them aro just conscientious, earnest, industrious folk; the worst of them are no worse than folk in any other busi ness.
