MERETRICIOUS THRILLS
Whooping Up the Drama Into Melodrama and
Cinema-drama.
With the production of "The Story of the
Rosary" at the Lyric Theatre tonight, we shall
witness an Instance of what seems an Indica
tion of uncertainty, experiment, maybe transi
tion. In forms of dramatic amusement, "The
Story of the Rosary" la a. melodrama of a
sort long popular In England. Its presentation
In this country is significant only as one of a
number of melodramatic ventures of the
season.
Melodrama, In Its shrieking sense, has never
been generally popular with theatre-goers. For
years the New York Hippodrome offered Its
colossal spectacles and was a thing to be seen
well, once each year. Sometimes In the
spirit of having a lark we went to see the
theodore-kremer-owen-davis thrillers familiar
along New York's Fourteenth street. There
seemed no likelihood of an Incursion of the
blatantly harrowing or awe-Inspiring pictorial
Into the legitimate drama.
At the opening of the season, John Mason
starred in an apache melodrama In evening
clothes, by Owen Davis, of "Nellie, the Beau
tiful Cloak Model" fame. Wa confess to being
thrilled, although we knew the thing that
thrilled us was fake. "Big Jim Gerrtty" moved
on to New York, but failed to prove a mtccess
In a high-class theatre. This, too, may be
significant.
Melodramatic and spectacular, "Life" was
recently produced by William A Brady nt the
Manhattan Opera House, New York, In a man
ner outdoing the achievements of Drury Lane.
With the plot revolving about the adventures
of a college athlete wrongfully suspected of
murder, "Life" depends for Its effects chiefly
upon amazing scenic settings and moving pic
tures supplementing the stage action.
Illustrating the adventures of the chief pro
tagonists, moving pictures also supplement tha
action of "The Battle Cry," another melo
drama, which has opened at the Lyric, New
York. Unlike the old-fashioned shockers, "Tha
Battle Cry" is elaborately made up of 18
scenes, replete with rapid-fire moving-picture
action, accelerated In effect by cinematograph
reels showing dizzy dangers and adventures
Herein Is the difference between the new melo
drama and the old. There haa coma what
might be called the cinema-drama.
Do these productions Indicate dissatisfaction
on part of a sated public with the estab-
Ushed, compact, technically constructed drama
of Ufa and manners?
Or are managers merely experimenting? In
the legitimate drama the effect is achieved not
so much by elaborate settings as by tha con
summate portrayal of actions through a. de
fined, coherunt plot. In the moving picture,
plot Is lost In an Impressive picture story.
Will tha effect of tha cinematograph tend to

"Whatever the ultimata outcome may be, the
popularity of the movies and the lack of re
sponse on part of the public, this season at
least, to the more serious dramas have un
questionably influenced produoers. These
gigantic galvanlsera may prove to be only
experiments, after all. It would be lamentable
If public taste should degenerate to tha degree
that melodrama, however stupendous, or the
cinema-drama, however marvelous, should to
any serious degree supersede the artistic, hon
est, Intellectual, slmply-staged drama, whtoh,
as a reflex of life, carries a philosophic Inter
pretation of human psychology and actions
over the footlights.
No melodrama or cinema-drama, however
coloseally staged, blatantly noisy or teeming
with hair-raising, teeth-on-edge adventures,
can ever give the sincere thrill, the exaltation,
the awe aroused by the truthful depletions of
life's simplest but fundamental passions and
terrific crises In such plays of artistic restraint.
