THE CRIMSON PLAYGOER

Fine Arts

"The Made Age," a dramatization of our times, opens at the Fine Arts Theatre on Thursday. The continuity, written by Gilbert Seldes, begins before the War and ends with the story of present day America. The facts, fancies and fashions of by gone years are all recalled as the national by products of the past.

In reenacting the American acne, Seides has not overlooked the slang and of the period. His objective has been to reconstruct the past as we lived it.

Frederic Ullman, Jr., producer of "The Mad Age," searched in the New York, Washington and Hollywood film records of the past and supplemented them with new and modern shots. It took six months to complete the film. During this time, Seldes and Ulliman, screened and discarded more than a million feet of film enough to make two hundred feature pictures.

The film shows the amazing social changes during the past two decades. Starting with the War, it carries through the times of unrest, strikes and the jazz age. It recalls the boom and the crash--and the thousand and one things that brought bewilderment to the average man who looked at the constant changes.
