FIGHT IMPURE MILK
WITH WE FILMS
New York State Board of
Health and Edison Photo
graph Typhoid Germs.
' METHODS or pusiirmo
The state o( New York will con
duct a crusade against impure milk
by the use of motion pictures and
Thomas A. Edison, Inc., it now mak
ing a one-reel film entitled "The
Trump Card" for the use of the New
York State i Board of Health in the
proposed campaign. While the pic
ture will show the process of pas
teurization by which gernTlife in the
lacteal fluid is completely destroyed
and any danger of infection eliminated
it will "not emphasis ' the technical
process, ' It is designed to call at
tention to the danger of unpasteur
ized milk and to show the method by
which milk can be purified, but it does
this through the medium of a little
human interest story of much intrin
sic value. It will educate and enter-'
tain at the same time and the state
authorities are confident that this film
and others of a aimilar nature can be
used very effectively. '
The script was written by Alan
Crosland, casting director for Thomas
A, Edison,; Inc., and it was revised by
T. Boynton Peck, a chief of the dt
' vision of exhibits for the state depart
ment of health, Mr. Crosland has
charge of the production of the film,
which is nearly completed at the pres
ent time. The story tells how the ef
forts of the mayor of a village to se
cure an ordinance compelling the pas
teurization of all milk sold in the cor-
S oration was opposed by political
osa who supported the milk dealers
of the district. The opposition had
the best of it and the typhoid epidemic
continued to grow until the daughter
of the "boas" became ill with the
fever. This made a convert to pas
teurization of the politician and re
suited in the passage of the ordinance
desired by the mayor ana recom
mended bv the state authorities.
Among 'the members of the cast
are Robert Conness. Adele Pratt, Her
bert Prior, Leonie Flugrath, Andy
Uark end Uurles Suttou.

Talks With Screen-Struck Girls
i By BEATRIZ MICHELENA No. 15.
There are a
great many things
that enter into
life's1 success be
side salary and
applause. The
success that the
public thinks it
sees for us and
the one that we
feel inside our
selves are two
very different
things. .
The latter la the
one that really
counts. .
The . arlrl ' iuat
starting out on her life's career often
loses sight of this. She accepts the
public standard of success and works
lor it at the sacrifice of everything
else.. .;......;.,... .... :
Everyone l apt to do this the
girl who is trying to break into mo
tion pictures as well as others. There
is a price too dear to pay for a place
: at the top of the ladder. Many, many
girls have found this out through tad
experience. The smile of triumph that
you see on. your. favorite star's face
may be just a mask covering depths
of woe underneath, Even the public's
applause, which she tries to delude
herself into thinking adequate recom
pense for what she has sacrificed, is
bitter to her.
I know Picture atari, niv "rrn
strucK mend, who would envy you
those things vou have not sacrificed
much more than you envy them their
lame ana popularity. A good triend,
without pretense, a mother's love and
dear home ties, a world's resnect in
one these are some of the elements
of human happiness that all the ap
plause ana money in tne world can.
not recompense for.
fame is verv sweet when it comes
to one naturally and aa reward for
Hard and earnest endeavor; but it is
very, very empty when purchased on
payment of the real and true things in
life. ,
This may read a great deal like a
sermon and I don't want to prelch
but if it is a sermon, it is at least
a very practical qospel.
You will find it safe rule to go
by, if you are in the struggle for
fame, to cling always ot those things
you had found truest and dearest in
your home life. They are the big
things. ... vv . '. - V . ;, .
