Visualized Story of Radio Is Example of Possibility of Movies

By JAMES TV. DEAN 1 NEW YORK, Sept. B.—The most engrossing picture I have seen in quite a time is “The Mystery Box." It has no love theme, little humor, no star player, no beautiful settings. In short. It has none of the elements by which the entertainment value of a picture is usually estimated. “The Mystery Box" tells the story of radio. It is one of those Bray films of combined line drawings and photographs. It makes the transmission of sound waves in expressive forms as easy to understand as the most abstract physical phenomena. The amateur radio operator is fchown just how and why the various elements of the receiving and sending sets work. He sees how the radio wave is varied by the sound of the voice in the transmitter and how this variation is recorded in the receiving set, the sound being converted again Into its original form, that of the voice. Humans have communicated by sound ever since the beginning of human creation, yet the secret of sound transmission has been known for only a short time. Many long hours of study are required to learn

the scientific principle in school. The motion picture visualizes the entire process in ten minutes. “The Mystery Box" is ample proof of the merit of visual education. As I recall long hours in the army spent in the study of communication, ballistics and other subjects of similar nature necessary in the preparation of an army, I wonder why the Gvemment did not employ the motion picture as a means of visual education. -I- -|- -IOne thing that the reviewer of pictures must constantly guard against is bias for or against certain players whose screen personalities have a definite reaction upon him. Screen per sonalitie3 are not always the same as real personalities. Even if they were they should not enter into a judgment of the merits of a film. With this explanation it is probably not unethical to say that the one character on the screen that irritates me above all others is Bobby Vernon, one of the stars of Christie comedies. No matter what his role he seems to be a smart aleck, just as Johnny Hines does. Vernon's manner indicates that he realizes he is supposed to be funny

and, like the small child called to recite his piece when company comes, he shows off before the camera. Yet this very manner makes "Pardon My Glove,” the next Christie comedy, better than the average run of comedies. In that Vernon is a youth who takes to prize-fighting after his father disowns him for being expelled from college for fighting. He is to travel ahead of the champion and establish a reputation for himself by knocking down a huge negro who travels with him. Then he is to be a “set-up” for the champion when the latter arrives. The situation is complicated when Vernon and the champion fall in love with the same girl. The fight that follows is one of the funniest and best done in any recent comedy, due chiefly to Vernon's acting. -!- -!• -IOn View Today The following attractions are on view in Indianapolis today: Stella Mayhew at B.
