All the stories are located in or near Los Angeles, a section more densely populated with makers of "movies" than any other section on earth. The author lives there, he has been in sympathetic contact with these votaries of this new art since its beginning, and his statements are entirely trustworthy. "Film Folk" is not a series of actual biographies of individuals; the author in each case presents an actor, a director or one of the other characters for the sake of concreteness and to carry out the story-form, and he contrives to set forth in the course of the book the entire movie-making world. The reader gets a clear idea of how the films are made and he is immensely entertained with the accounts of the manners and customs of the inhabitants of the vast movie villages--manners and customs unique in many respects. The stories are told in a style as easy to read as the author is good-humored. _8vo, 356 pages_ _Illustrated from photographs_ _Price $2.00_ At All Bookstores Published by THE CENTURY CO. 353 Fourth Avenue New York City End of Project Gutenberg's The Golden Bird, by Maria Thompson Daviess
