But it isn’t; the actual title of the book is Film Folk. It is by Rob Wagner, who has been in sympa- thetic contact with the new art since its early days and who knows all its details intimately. Film Folk is a sort of Los Angeles Canterbury Tales wherein appear the stories, told in the first person, of the handsome film actor whose beauty is fatal to his comfort; of the lady star; the child wonder; the studio mother; ” the camera man, who “shoots the films’’;| the scenario writer; the “extra” man and woman, whose numbers are as the sands of the sea, etc., etc. The author contrives to set forth in the course of the book the entire movie-making world. While the reader is being enter- tained with breezy stories full of humor and go, he is, at the same time, getting a clear idea of how the films are made, as well as interesting accounts of the manners and customs of the inhabitants of the great movie _villages—manners and customs unique in many respects. Film Folk is published by The Century Co., 353 Fourth Avenue, New Humor requires an optimistic mood, a certain feeling that good will be the final goal of ill, otherwise many unfortunate happenings might assume a tragic aspect. We must realize, whether definitely or vaguely, that any such misadventure is a passing phase of life, to be treated as of small account as against the upward progress of man’s nature.

Again, humor is the child of a perfect under- standing of human nature, which, in the opinion of certain reporters, with none but editors to father it, would be an orphan. J. Francis Walsh.
