    • Abstract:
      The article presents information on the film "If I Had a Million." The film itself is, with some allowance, a fairly creditable attempt at verisimilitude. It is safe to predict, however, that its effect upon life, if it has any, will be the reverse of Wilde's dictum. Instead of inducing people to copy its art, it will make them mend their ways and thus destroy the very "nature" which has provided it with its material and moral. The reference is in particular to the refusal of some characters portrayed in the film to credit the genuineness.
