te warn the birds that the Mysterious
White Strangeis were crews made white

killing smaller bitd.
"New there will 'be fighting," sighed
the I'liiiy King. "I am sorry, for inno

"Isn't there some way we can drive

Jack put his wits te work en the mat

"I knew a way," he shouted. "We

Bv tins time they were back in Bird

That sounded llke a tine plan.
"Hurrah!" cried King Bird te the
dancers. "Let's spread a big fenst for

The birds were eager te show hns

THE MOVIE FAN'S LETTERBOX
Bv HENRY
"S. R." writes: "In the Saturday
edition of your paper was a statement
te the effect that the 'discriminating
few' welcome all foreign films. I con
sider myself ' ie of these 'few' who
view these Gc.man pictures with the
deepest interest and enjoyment.
"I assume that the average film is
generally the same In nil countries nnd
that these importations arc the cxeep cxeep
tiennl ones.
"These pictures are easily the best
(lint America has viewed In many n
month. With perhaps the exception of
pliewttnphy nnd lighting effects, which
nt times arc atrocious (nnd thec defects
might be due te the fact that they were
taken several years age), the American
films cannot compare with them. Act
ing, scenario nnd sfery are (even In
your geed judgment) the criterion by
which te judge the best. If your as
sumptions ere correct, then you will
find these superior qualities In almost
all foreign productions.
"Several months after tbe nppearanee
of that weirdly artistic masterpiece,
'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,' America
produced what you consider a challenge,
'One Glorious Day,' with Will Rogers.
As I have net seen It ns yet, I will net

production of 'Carmen.' F ' i Negri
was of that elemental, fiery, primitive
passion thnt was absolutely essential te
artistic success. ,
"In another picture. 'Intrigue, the
hackneyed plot concerning one of the
Parisian demi-mende was given an un
expected twlt and turn that was stimu
lating and refreshing with Its ending in
the lvld strangulation of the 'adven
turess.' "The only German importation in
which I was somewhat disappointed was
'One Arabian Night.' and even at that
I enjeved it ns much ns 'Kismet. Its
sets wrre gorgeous, its 'shots were
geed, the acting and story were superb,
but let there was something lacking.
Pesslblv the nntlcs of the 'vaudevlllinn
due.' the bazaar clerks, irritated me.
"Will veu nlse tell me where in
America we have produced films of the
tvpe of 'Passion' nnd 'Deception ?
Please de net mention Fex nnd Griffith.
The former is 'cheaply overburdened.

me with his Bible school dissertations
and ndmonitlens.
"The paucity of captions In these
feielgn films has also impressed me,
typifying thnt the art f 'miming' tells
its own story without the use of print
ed words.
"New, at Inst, we have the mystical
'Golem' and the advance glowing notices

"The best pictures I've seen lately

Yes, Carel Dempster nnd Bartheimess
were together In "The Leve Flower."
Ernest Terrenco last appeared In mu

Mabel Bullln did net make personal
appearances here because a previous

"Jane Eyre" opened locally. She was
in town about a week age te see her
grandmother, who is 111, nnd she told me
then that she would be glnd te arrange

she would make n big hit with the fnns,
for she is cne of the most charming
women I have ever met nnd doesn't

Lytell nnd Viela Dana nre net booked

employed In filming the piny. One
thousand camels and thousands of sheep
and geata will also be used.
This-- will be the first time that a
Sroductien of any magnitude has been

from its appropriateness ns n bock beck

work in Italy en a production dealing
with the life of Nere, in which vast
numbers of people took part, and which
was photographed with some of the
most historic structures and scenes in

picture they had the co- ncratlen of

troops were assigned te help control fhe
multitudes who took part In the produc
