FILM INFLUENCE NOW RIVALS PRESS (Coninued From Page 5) developed from an experiment Into one of the reap arts, and in my opinion now have a greater individual Influence In the molding of thought, modes of lifes and modes of tfress and general living conditions than any oAier individual factor in the world.” Rockett’s Idea It has only been since the advent of action pictures that the press has taken to the playing up in their pages of pictures. It is not so many years ago that news pictures were scarcer than hen's teeth in the daily print. But today wise newspaper editors know that when people can see an event or persons they are better satisfied. ‘‘Political disputes fade Into oblivion in a community when a great picture with great stars is showing on the screen. The head of the house takes his family to see the great picture and the great actor and the talk of that house is the picture, no matter what the political situation may be or what local political scrap may be going on. And the reason is a simple one —motion pictures entertain. Motion pictures make you forget the drab realities of life and carry you away into the land of make-believe. "The great reason for the influence of motion pictures is the fact that they are within the reach of all. The wealthy may go to a picture house and pay high pffces to see them, but Just around the corner is always a picture house showing fine films at- a price within the reach of every purse. There is no class distinction In pictures. The man with a dime and the man with a dollar may see them and be entertained. The pictures are for all and influence and entertain all as a result. ".Look at the influence of pictures today on women's styles. It is a well-known fact that hundreds of concerns making women’s clothing follow the modes of the movies. Millions of women the world over watch the styles on the screen and their own clothing Is Influenced thereby. They see a great screen actress In an unusual morning dress and the first thing you know they are wearing a similar one. New Ideas “The motion picture companies are cognizant of this fact, and no one outside of the industry can realize the great amount of energy that is put into the creation of new ideas to further this great sendee which pictures are giving the women of the world. Fashion shows are becoming features in pictures. They are being made in colors so the women may see the general effect of the Btyles. "The modern flapper copies the stars of the screen religiously In dress and action of the screen. And

There will be a mysterious event at Broad Ripple Park Labor day afternoon when an aviator will drive an airplane in a sensational event. the feminine youth becomes more attractive. There are today thousands of young boys with Jackie Coogan haircuts which make these children much more attractive to the eye than the old-fashioned gravybowl cuts that were once so prevalent. A male screen star flashes across the screen with anew style haircut and anew style is born to the nation. The same is true of the male star’s clothes; even his mannerisms. "Even the furnishings of the home and the general architecture of the home is changing with the styles of the pictures. Yes. I believe that pictures have a great influence on modes of life, thought and dress, and I firmly believe that they will continue so, growing more in importance as the years go by.”

By Dan Thomas, NEA. Service Writer HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 4.—A sudden rise ... a meteoric flight across cinema heavens . . . then obilivon. Such is the career of the celluloid idol. But not so Harold Lockwood. That name which blazoned forth from theater signs some years ago will be perpetuated if Harold Lockwood, Jr., has any of his father’s qualifications. Lockwood was at the height of his career when death took him away. Now Harold, Jr., only 16, is starting out to “carry on” for dad.

"Wings.” "Farrell isn’t going to play in ‘Wings,’ I'm going to use him in my picture,” said Fleming. “I’ll bet you $lO you can’t get him,” returned Miss Bow. Result: Fleming went to the front office, and Clara lost her leading man—and $lO. ... Rumors have reached me of strong protests being made on the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer lot against Marion Davies having a reproduction of the Virgin Mary done in col-

Pantages waved aside the menus and proceeded to give the waiter detailed instructions as to how everything should be prepared. "You certainly know how to order a dinner, Mr. Pantages,” remarked the waiter. "Vhy shouldn’t I.

Hughes and his wife are noted in select flint circles for their very formal dinner parties which are always followed by concerts or opera selections.
