Later it will be more inconvenient as work on the farms will press them. All people should be arranging and planning for the opening.of next session with determination that people of school age shall have one full session. Students ought to be reviewing their studies and getting ready for fine work. The teachers will be called to meet before the opening of schools to organize for the work.?Superintendent. o A FAMILY REUNION.

During the five week period beginning August 27 and ending September 29, more than 15,000 theatres in the United States will play at least cne full week of the famous Para-' Mount Pictures and most of them c '.-ill play these pictures solidly for,1 the five weeks. In order to solicit the public's co-.j, operaiton in this movement, Adolph j ] Zukor, president of Famous Players-: Lasky Corporation, producers of { Paramount Pictures, has selected y 3,000 newspapers thruout the conn-, try thru which to reach the bigger part of the American public. In N.orth , and South Carolina fifty papers have t been selected, and the Roxboro . Courier will carry the advertise-!, ment for this district. Near-: ( ly 300 theatres in ~ both states and , part of Tennessee will be represent- J, ed tind their programs published. ; r "Motion pictures, I believe, are the J c most influential form of expression,"^ Mr. Zukor said in a recent statement.] "In number of patrons it is rivaled y only by the press. But it has far]. more followers than books, ntspa-! r zines, the theatre or any other me- j dium you might suggest. j "Consequently, the movies are not j a private ertterprise but a public in- ^ stituticn. The producers keenly feel t their public responsibility and for f flf\e last year have concentrated on' ^ ways and means to eleCate the screen 'j both intellectually and morally". , Mr. Zukor referred to the confer- ' ence of authors held in New York! last month, which was called thej First International Congress cf the j Motion Picture Art. It was called by] Mr. Zukor under the auspices of the.' Author's League of America, and i1 ki?rr.cng the delegates were Fannie! Hurst, Rex Beach, George Barr Bak-j' er, ana ne?riy every other author: o? nc-te. Five nations were also represented. The outcome of the con-j( ference was a permanent program for the elevation of the movies which ^ is new being drafted. Among the productions for the , coming season, Mr. Zukor lists "The,* Purple Highway", "The Law of the Lawless", "Hollywood", "SalomyJ Jane",- "Lawful Larceny", "Blue-' beards Eighth Wife", "The Silent (1 Partner", "To The Last Man", "The j Cheat", "Ruggle3 of Red Gap", "The Marriage Maker", "Zaza", and "Wo- ' man Prccf" as the reasons up ufttil November 1. * "Hollywood" is a story of the in-! side of studio life in which a hun- j dTed 6creen stars take important! parts.
