presenting THE BIRTH OF A BABY The September issue of MOVIE LIFE presents ox- clusive scenes from The Birth of a Baby, the picturo that everyone is anxious to seo, This is the film pro- sented by the American Committee on Maternal Welfare, Inc., produced by Jock H. Skirball end di- rected by A. E. Christie. The production was super vised by a sub-committee of recognized obstetricians and gynecologists, set up by the American Commit- tee. The Committee's pur- pose in preparing this film was to educate a mass audience, that they could reach in no other way, to modern scientific prenatal care. They hope through this educational medium to reduce the appellingly high rate of childbirth deaths in this country, which is seid to be higher than any other country in the civ- ilized world, MOVIE LIFE Hollywood's Latest All-Picture Magazine Now 10¢ a copy at . your favorite newsstand * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * keke kK we we Kk In Witness Whereof (Continued from page 29) | ARE YOU SURE? 1 don’t want to seem over-critical but for the third time I must call your attention to some errors in the “Are You Sure” de- partment. August, Number 11 has two false statements. The one you give in the an- swers and also the statement that Beethoven wrote his first Sympathy when he was five years old. Also, I think the answer to No. 18 is wrong. In a vacuum they would both reach the ground at the same time but not from a roof top. Don Roor, Pueblo, Colo, a.

Ray Kenyon, Philadelphia, Pa. vw LET'S ALL PLAY Upon seeing on the page headed “Let's Play” in the August issue of THE Juoce the little puzzle of 9 dots to be connected with four straight lines, I remembered one my father used to give called “The Grove” which I thought you might like to print. It’s written poetically thus: 1 am constrained to plant a grove, To please the lady that I love. This ample grove is to compose, Nineteen trees in nine straight rows.

Felix Weingartner and the London Symphony Orchestra play Bee- thoven’s Leonore Overture No. 2. These two works bring out admirably the quality of a &reat orchestra that surpasses the greatest of teams in any kind of athletic contest. The objective is the same—the output of directed human energy. And although a great athletic team produces a perfect performance only oc- casionally, the great orchestra must produce practically a perfect performance every time it appears in public. In each case, there is sub- ordination of some of the performers to add emphasis to the efforts of others. Athletic discipline is relative, even in the professional baseball teams; musical discipline is absolute. An attempt at grandstand playing by a pitcher may be overlooked, but if the drum- mer or trumpeter have illusions of grandeur, the concert is beyond hope “Ghost-writing another story, eh?” comicbooks.com
