Tho Essanay Film Producing Corpora
tion announces that hereafter It will dls
ponso with scenarios. This docs not mean
that tho Kssanay has ceased tho produc
tion of photoplays, but that It has re
formed where reform was most needed.
Ilcrcnftcr photoplays Intended for tho Es
sanay must bo written In tho shapo of
condensed plays, with dialogue expressive
of the action. In making tho announce
ment the Essanny says:
In lino with Its policy of progress,
tho Essanay company has discarded
tho scenario from Its business. Tho
reason Is that Essanay photoplays are
beyond tho scenario stage. Tho high
art of production ns standardized by
this company cannot be sustained by
moro scenarios. Already Essanay has
on Its staff a number of tho highest
paid dramatists In this country. Thoso
men, experienced In the technical con
struction of tho drama, aro producing
plays Instead of scenarios.
With such writers as George Ade, Ho
bart C. Chatflcld-Tnylor, Albert Pay
son Torhune, Mary Roberts Rlnehart,
James Ollvor Curwood. Edwin Balmer,
Henry Oycn, Edith Ogdcn Harrison,
James Oppenhelm, Mrs. Wilson Wood-
row, Malbello Helkcs Justice and Jus
tus Miles FOrman, Essanay stands
alono In tho field as tho producer of
the greatest photplays. The day of
tho scenario has passed.
This Is a move all other producers
.could imltato with profit to themselves
and theatre-goers. t

It had tolcome. And now that It has
arrived, there will doubtless bo great
anxiety among tho exponents of equal
suffrago to see and discuss It. This refers
to the photo-play, "Your Girl and Mine,"
which will bo shown for tho first tlmo In
this city at tho Victoria Theatro during
tho coming week. "Your Girl nnd Mine"
Is primarily a melodrama, but It Is oven
more than that, for It purports to give
and does depict scenes and Incidents

Tho Orchestra concert at the Academy
yesterday afternoon was such as can
come only In mldseason when conductor
nnd men have arrived at tho Indispen
sable unity of feeling and harmony of
execution which is not rigid, but flex
ible; not studied, yet thorough : not ob
vious, yet always apparent. The tono of
the orchestra has been, desplto certain
lapses. Improving steadily: Us Interpreta
tive skill has gained In like measure. So
that yesterday, In tho 17th concert of
the season, they seemed to attack their
work with tho confident skill of masters
and to accomplish It masterruuy.
With them the assisting artist was
Faiuile BloomfleW Zelsler. Her problem
haa teen for many years to eliminate
the excellence of her own playing irora
consideration, and to establish an unin
terrupted connection between hor ma
terial and Its expression. Sho has suc
ceeded In a peculiar way, for with her
the labor Is alwaya apparent, the study
never forgotten, oven tho mechanics of
runsj and trilla and pedals almost pain
fully noticeable. And yet. In the end,
ono forgets much of these things. One
la seduced Into forgetting everything but
the clear, clean beauty of the muslo she
plays. She has a sense of rhythm whioh
Is extraordinarily sensitive; she has, at
tho same lime, a delicacy erf touch nnd
a fluidity of expression which resemble
tho characteristic virtues of tieonord
Berwick. In tho Uzat fantasy the artist
Indicated new powers, of stirring utter
ance, of sharply sounded chords, of a
voice more authoritative. But it was the
Moiart that remained, with Its serious
beauty and its mannered grace. In the
golden and exquisite tone which Mrs.
Zelsler could Klvo to it- ,..

National Amerlcnn Women's Suffrage
Association tins given Its sanction and
entire approval of tho film, with the no
tation that tho creator of tho picture Is
deserving of tho earnest congratulations
of the members for tho faithful and com
prehensive manner In which tho subject
has been treated.
Tho World Film Corporation undertook
tho production. Ollvo Wyndham tem
porarily left tho spoken drama to pose
for the part of tho heroine, and Knthcryn
Kaelrod, last seen In this city In tho lend
ing femalo roto of "Joseph nnd Ills
Brethren," Is seen In tho role of tho
woman lawyer battling before tho
learned law makors for tho rights of hor
sox. Other players Include Sydney
Booth, who Is seen ns tho hero, and John
Charles and Kathorino Henry, who
played tho roles of tho villain and the
honearworkIng girl, respectively. Tho
finding tho Just tono, In evoking It with
doft hand and holding It to the last still
degree of Its gentleness, Mr, Stokowskl
did n, difficult thing nobly well. Tho
symphony by Basllo KUlnnlkow, to
which he nnd tho orchestra camo after
the concerto, was moro In the conductor's
chosen vein. It Is, In fact, n counter
part In many respects of the Tschalkow
bky symphonies the fourth nnd the Cos
sackIn which Mr. Stokowskl'a conduct
ing Is so proud, so sure and so brave.
Tho symphony has In It tho touch of
the East, tho melancholy of Little Rus
sia nnd the heart beat of the Blavs. To
each of these tho conductor and his re
eponslva orchestra paid duo respect, gave
proper utterance. After the fiasco of
Faderowskl's attempt at a national sym
phony, this ploco was Inspiring and
glorious.
Opera Light nnd Dark
With the extension of the Metropolitan's
season hero tho prospects for opera grew
perceptibly brighter. Tho radlanco grows
dazzling with tho succeeding announce
ments of Gilbert and Sullivan and of the
San Carlo Grand Opera Company. The
latter will coma to tho Broad Street The
atre tho first weelc In Maroh, with Ester
Adaberto, Sophie Charlebols, Carolina
Zawner, Stella de Mette, Solvatore
Sclarettl, Gluseppl Agostlnl, Alfredo
Grazlanl, and Giuseppe Angellnl as di
rector. The operas announced are (as
one should have expected): "Alda,"
".Lucia." "Faust." "Cavallerla Bustlcana"
and "I Pagllaccl," "Blgoletto." "La aio
conda," "Martha" and "II Trovatoro."
On tho Monday following this engage
ment the Gilbert and Sullivan Opera
Company comes to the Metropolitan
Opera House for two weeks. It Is very
odd to see De "Wolf Hopper called Mr. De
Wolf Hopper. Ono might as well say
Mr. Blchard Dcadeye. However, this
gentleman and the company wll present
"The Mikado," "Pinafore" and "Trial by
Jury" and "Tho Pirates of Penzance," the
first week, and "Yeoman of the Guard."
"The Mikado," "Sorcerer" and "Trial by
Jury' and "Iolantlie" the second week.
The Sorcerer" and 'Pinafore" will be
what the Greeks loved to call "hapox
legornena," Which means simply that
they will be done but once each.
