“EVERY STUDENT AN INDIVIDUAL’
“THE WHITE ANGEL” TOO BIG
A DRAMA TO END WITH A KISS
FILM WITHOUT KISS AT THE
FRANKLIN THEATRE, BAY
CITY, SUN.-MON.
A kiss. Soft Music. The picture
ends. And so, they lived happily
ever after.
Not so long ago, this formula set-
tled everything. Viliams were for-
gotten. Troubles dismissed. The
future taken care of. But now we
must face the horrendous fuet; kiss-
ing has gone out of style in Holly-
wood .
One of the biggest films of them
all hasn’t a lover’s kiss in it. In
‘Th: White Angel,” the First Na-
tional Picture which comes to the
Franklin Theatre, in Bay City, Sun-
day and Monday, there isn’t even
a little peck.
When we heard this, we recalled
with a shock that several important
pictures had recently seemed a bit
lacking in osculation. That practi-
cally none hnd ended with a kiss.
This couldn’t be coincidence. Was it,
then, some plot to outlaw the poli-
cies of Cupid?
We went to Kay Francis, star of
"The White Angel.” She had a
practical idea.
“I suppose,” she said, “it’s simply
an effort to vary the monotony of
the usual ending.”
This didn’t exactly click. What-,
ever a kiss might be, it could hard-
ly be called monotonous. There must
be some deeper reason. We thought
of William Dieterle, who is Miss
Francis’ director.
We were not prepared for the
seriousness with which he regarded
the matter.
"A picture with a theme impor-
tant enough to concern all humanity
must involve tremendous problems
and conflicts. These cannot be solved
by the sugary promise of a kiss.
To end such a picture as “The
White Angel” with a kiss would be
like settling the riddle of Life with
a picture of a pretty sunrise,
“Pictures are getting bigger in
outlook as well as in size. A kiss,
like any other piece of theatrical
business, has its place, hut it is
not important for u climax.”
Dieterle reminded that a few
works great enough to affect hu-
man history, or even literary his-
tory, ended with a kiss.
“Remember,” he concluded, “a
kiss solves all problems and all
hurls for u lilLle child, hut not for
grown-up. Pictures are adult
