ZANE GREY IN Hts sTUDv LITERATURE IN MOTION PICTURES U By ZANE GREY It 15 always a great satisfaction to me to see young people interested in writing. In this fast moving age when it is difhcult to even a college-educated youth to Find a means of expressing his or her individuality in some manner of work which will lead to possible achievement, there is still much room for new authors, and this applies particularly in the case of motion pictures. The motion picture has made tremendous strides in the past few years, and is today one of the greatest mediums for the education and development of the peoples of the world. I have not mentioned the incalculable and tremendous entertainment value of motion pictures which is what makes them possible. For many years, the author and writer has received little attention from motion picture producers. He has been kicked around and generally abused and considered just one of the many unimportant cogs in a very big machineryg but today the writer must be recognized. In other words, the story is the thing. Motion picture writing is a highly specialized profession, but its mechanics may be mastered. Understanding of the formula and design of a good screen play does not necessarily mean the creation of one. The author must still have background, point of view, experience I The training and hard work necessary to make a success- novelist, columnist, short story writer, playwright, reporter, or any other kind of writer is all fuel on the hre of future motion picture authors. Motion pictures can go but little farther without the development of new per- sonalities and new blood, so to speak, in the persons of authors and writers. VV hat better place to hnd them than in the ranks of the youth of America. T I-I A N K Y O U Zane Grey was kind enough to write the foreword for our Literary Section when he was leaving for Australia. Mr. Grey has won world recognition from the millions who read his books of the thrilling west. Thoroughly acquainted with western history, he began to write novels dealing with the people of that country. His books number over thirty, and his short stories are many more. Thrilling love, wild rides and desperate chances, all hold the interest of the reader. The world bows to Zane Grey.

B JEAN HOLLY RICH X VVith the ushering in of the twentieth century, a new industry was born, whi' h has grown in the space of a few short years, until today it ranks sixth among the great businesses of the world, third among those of the United States. and first in the entertainment of millions of people living in our country and abroad. This industry has brought more fame to the little suburb of Hollywood in a scant thirty years than any other huge metropolis coulzl win after functioning for over a century. Hollywood is better know to the average foreigner than almost every other city in the United States combined. for to him, the mere name spells all the glamor and glitter that surrounds the production of motion pictures. Beginning with the making of Hickering one-reel melodramas and slap stick comedies in out of the way barns and ramshackle buildings, the movie industry has grown until today, its studios cover hundreds of acres of ground, its equipment con- sists of the most ingenious scientific devices that man has yet been able to invent, and it employs thousands of people, paying some a more enormous salary than could be earned in any other business. The art of making motion pictures has so' risen in the estimation of the world, that today, the University of Southern California offers a course in cinematography, which teaches the students who are interested in carving their careers in the movie industry, the science that goes into the filming of good moving, talking, and colored pictures. I - There is certainly no organization on earth that gives as much enjoyment to the multitude of people, or can claim the widespread interest and enthusiasm which is manifested for the cinema and its actors and actresses. Motion pictures can truly be heralded as the eyes of the twentieth century! lf 'g MOTION PICTURES.. .BURR By ROBERT KROLL , , , In the following pages of this section we have tI'1CCl.t0 Pfeseflt to You In Pflm, the enchantment, the thrills, the interesting facts, and mformatlon Of the IHOUOH picture industry. We have endeavored to transplant the g cinema from Hollywood to the pages of this publication. Many trips to the studios were made, many important per- sonages interviewed, and much information was obtained from speakers, books and magazines, so that this subject might be presented accurately. The information on the motion picture industry was procured by the Burr English class by way of diligent re- search and reading, from which they gained much knowl- edge that was not known to them before. The class agrees with the writer that there was not one moment wasted working on this great subject, the motion picture industry, and we sincerely hope that it meets with your approval.

MGTIUN Pl.C'l'URli BALANCE By MARY KATHRYN BODDEKRR Perhaps we should not try to discover the single purpose of motion pictures. Perhaps there are many purposes as varied as life itselt. The important fact about motion pictures is that like life. they should be proportioned properly. Not all serious- ness, not all gaiety. A proper balance should be sought. I Some motion pictures provide that balance within themselves, lhey combine . I I l'l'Zl0'CClX' with comedy. and lifrhtness with seriousness. Other pictures hold cons1stent I5 7 - . - U . . . . I I to just a single theme. If something light and gay IS being presented, the Splllf 15 5 . kept throughout the picture. lf the picture has a tragic theme, a serious tone is maintained .-Xre the pictures you are seeing well balanced? Or does the light over balance the heavy? If your taste runs only to comedy. then your IUOUGI1 picture dlet is not as it should be. The same is true if you see only tragedies, hair-raising mystery stories. and wild western tales. All films can be distinctly classilied as to type. your programs are properly varied. Care should be taken to be sure 2 -1.263 idk .-ltr' .iff if ., ' 2232- ' -ff l' -'Sw ffl' . .5-fi -:iff- ,.g1.-- nf -M. ,ae L --ri' f -. if-iff' Sa-nw fe -5.4.-1' V if 'Wyse-a f.:-5. -' .nfl 4.3-I..,i f -....1,- Ia: .II.',e,V..-Ieggfrxyg. , I.g,q,V HI' I 493' -. wah., 4. . :urs 19,562 .V-'af-za' ml .
