I am the Screen Comedy.

My mission in life is to make people laugh; I fear no just critic; neither do I fear the censor's sharp shears.

When I am placed on exhibition men guffaw, women smile and children howl.

The theatre manager loves me because I make his path easier; the people love me because I bring gladness into their hearts.

Sometimes I am even greater than the feature.

Men ship me around the world in a tin box and as I travel from town to town, from theatre to theatre, I know that I will be welcome wherever I go.

Though I journey alone hundreds of men are slaving day and night to make my comparitively short span of life a success.

Tenderly I am handled and heavily insured. I come to you gladly and stay until you send me away.

I am the Screen Comedy.
