'Wholesome' Films Replacing Others In Cinema World JIOLLY WOOD The Inevitable cycle of "wholesome" otorles following tho "new" path blaw-d by that. story of four sisters in New England Js here. Every hiKhly successful picture starts a movie cycle, and "Little Wo men" naturally has had. the produc ers ferreting through, tho libraries ln search of other forgotten camples of standard or clasHlo literature that mlffht .prove equally .profitable. Alrcartly they've "discovered" sev eral nooks which, If not about four sisters In a Now England town, atl least have enjoyed tho eamo endur- j ing popularity with readers and hence might he expected to make hit pic- j turcs ovon though. Louisa M. Alcott didn't write, thorn. . Ono of these is "David Copper fluid," a we-Il-llkcd book by a de ceased English novollst named Charles Dickens,1 whoso previous popularity with movto producers has been evi denced only by several versions of "Oliver Twist" and the recurrent "Tale of Two Cltlcn." Two others have been found among tho works of another rather well known Englishman named Rudyard Kiplinp. Ramon Novarro has been an nounced Tor "Klin" nnd they'ro look ing for stars for "Cnpt:ilns Courage ous." r There will doubtless be more, to bring Joy to tho hearts of school teachers serkinc; means to "enliven' their coumes ln literature.

Mack's was a lucky token he carried in his pocket, an absurd little ball made of rollcd-up strands of copper wire.
