Thie was the keynote of an ad drees siren by Sidney K- - Kent, general manager of Famous Flayers Laaky Corporation, at a luncheon of tbs Associated Motion Picture Advertisers In New York. Mr. Xent spoke aa one of the immortals ef the motion picture industry selected IS months ago by. the publicity and advertising men. Dollars and cents, said Mr. Kent, must not be the only consideration of the people of this industry. "However," he said,- - we ere In -' a fortunate position, for our businew is one which is profitable and huwhich st. the same time serves And only to the extent manity. to which it serves can it be profit able and progress beyond the Uni its which hound an ordinary com-- mercial undertaking. Not until shortly after the war did 1 apreciats fully the real mission of tha screen. Befors that time I 'had looked upon It aa a field fer my own advancement. Right after the war, however, I waa in the town of Iille, France. There, were not more than half a daxen buildings with roofs. Brick factories had been established, and all day tong the women of this town labored and slaved, many of them trudging along- - in harness beside animals, in rehabilitating their preperty. At night these women, worn from their work, gathered in a building which had been used aa a stable by the Germans, and enjoyed the thriir of a motion picture All through the. country this tame service waa being rendered By tha ton picture Industry. , then that 1 awoke te the realization that the motion picture could not b purely a com mercial proposition. 1 knew then OT8 of friends and 'no money to lot of money and no friendr That la tha story of Meyar Ruben's riao from ghetto to golf Unkt. as told In Millionaires. the Warner Brow production which comes to the American theatre on Saturday for a run of seven days.

Working side by side they keep tho wolf from tho door and tha fish in ths les box. But Esther has a sister, Rebs (Louise Fasends), whoso idea of on a life la to keep a gessh'and caviar on tho table. Hounded by these two women. Meyer Jpvesis all of his savings in stocks, which, to his surprise, turn him back such hure profits, ha finds himself in tho millionaire the TODAY aat vivid story of Tm , - Wolf-hou- class. Esthers head turns as Reba tries to push her forward into wbat aha woman regards ns society. Both look upon Meyer as a social handicap. Divorce! Thats tho thing. And thereby hangs a tale of comedy and pathos that puts Millionaires" up at tho top among atorlea of emigrants In America. In the cast, besides Hr. Sidney. Mias Gordon and Miss Fazenda, are Helene Costello, Jane Winton, Nat Carr and Arthur Lubin. Tba Vltaphone program for tha week la classed as one of ths outstanding attractions since the open, ing week. Two hatlonally known artist a?e seen and heard In numbers that have won them fame.
