AMUSING OURSELVES -
DESPITE tho Increasing complexity of
modern life, wo amuse ourselves much
lesa pretentiously than did our ancestors. We
uso simpler Ingredients, but with greater In
genuity. Dueling, buffalo hunting and Louis
iana lotteries are things of the past. Horse
lacing hns lost Its prestige. A barbecue
would bo distinctly bad form. Melodrama
and Handy-Andy comedies have given way
to subtler humors. For thesd crude, ele
mental amusements wo havo substituted more
artful nnd cunning diversions.
What, for Instance, mora Inconceivably in
genious, moro Yankee-clover, more Incredibly
subtle than to borrow the dazzling magnlfl
CMico of tho Papal throna for n movlo show?
Just the dally Vatican routine of pageantry
and pomp, but Invested with the magic
glamour of tho Popo's personality. What a
wonderful scenario for a molc!
Only second to tho Ingenuity of the man
who conceived tho Idea Is his lndnlto le
Hourcefulncss la accomplishing the feat. How
ho did It Is described in tho American Mag
azine. In an article by Clevelnnd Moffet (I):
Early In 1913, James Stevln. a young Amer
Ican, arrived In Europe to get a serjes of mo
tion pictures of tho Popo nnd the intimate
life of tho Vatican. Many had tried and
failed. Slevln hnd letters and Introductions
to Roman Catholic dignitaries, hut ho chiefly
relied upon his ability to convince the Pope,
If ho could gain a hearing, that the progress
of the world mado It right nnd necessary
that tho Holy Father submit himself to tho
motion picture ordeal. Ho must be able to
present these arguments In person. Slevin
decided to learn Italian, and set about this
so diligently that within threo months of his
arrival In Romo ho wns ablo to express him
self understandably.
Slevin nlso trusted to the Inherent value of
tho motion picture Itself, which the Popo
did not realize sinco ho hud never seen a
flrst-clnsi motion picture exhibition. Ho
mndo a special trip to Venlco to get tho most
effective motion pictures of the Pontiff's for
mer homo and of his old church. Ho visited
Malta nnd recorded tho proceedings of tho
Euchnrlstic Congress, an Important Roman
Catholic gathering that tho Popo would bo
glad to have brought visually before him.
Finally, ho Journeyed to London and suc
ceeded In taking a close-up motion plcturo ot
King George, smiling pleasantly, nnd lifting
his hat ns he descended the steps of Buck
ingham Palace. Finally, His Holiness con
sented to a privato exhibition of these pic
tures, and for the plnco, nothing less than
the Pontiff's prlvato throne room.
When the entertainment was over tho Pope
paid to Slevin : "We have been greatly pleased
npd entertained. You are a fine type of
American." Then ho smiled sweetly and ad
ded: "Of course wo are a good audience, be
cause wo never saw anything so extraordi
nary before." Slevin seized his opportunity,
nnd continuing his appeal, spoke of tho 250,
000,000 Catholics scattered over tho earth
whose hearts would be cheered, whoso zeal
would be quickened, If they could see the
Holy Father moving before them ns In life.
The Popo smiled mysteilously a? before. Once
more they all knelt and kissed the fisher
man's rlncr on the Pontiff's white hand, and
then the Holy Father withdrew. Slevin knew
In his heart that Plus X would not consent
to tho plan.
Then followed months of waiting and ot
fruitless effort, during which Slevin was
obliged to return to New York and mako new
arrangements to organize n now company,
when tho Klnemacolor pcoplo lost heart.
Early in 1914 ho walked out of tho office of a
Wall streot multl-mllllonairo with J25.000 to
his credit and tho papers of Incorporation of
the Sacred and Historic Film Society In his
pocket.
Meantlmo the news had spread among other
companies. Hero was a prize worth millions
for somo one. When Slevin returned to
Romo ho found five powerful v l Ivals estab
lished there, pulling frantic wires nnd making
strenuous efforts to gain favor with tho Popo.
Tho situation wns moro dlfllcult than before.
Finally ho was allowed to take a motion
picture ot Plus X In an Imposing ceremony
in other ceremonies in St. Peter's, the Sls
tlne Chapel, tho Popo addressing vast audi
ences from tho balcony of tho Vatican, etc.
"I don't know exactly how it came about,"
explained Slovln. "You might say that I
never had formal permission to take those
pictures. I Just went ahead and took them
nnd no one objected or paid any attention
to me. 1 was never obtrusive and never asked
for anything. Doors would open and pro
cessions would como along, and tho Popo
would appear Just as I had my machine
reudy. 1 think thoy saw that I was sincere
and felt the force of my urguments, although
they could not say so officially."
How the Other Half Dances
It must be rather a bother belonging to tho
smart set, because, since everything they
do Is so eagerly and Instantly imitated, it
kcops them at their wlto' end finding now
and different ways of being amused. And
sometlmos when they really like a thing it
must causo a pang to glvo it up Just because
It has become vulgarly popular. Sometimes
they soften tho harsh rigors of their code by
modifying their amusements, so as to keep
them Just ahead of the outposts of "hoi
pollol." Vogue describes their newest dancing
venture (2) :
As a sidelight on tho suffrage question, a
computation ot the area ot all the dancing
floors in America Is of moro than passing
significance. For If woman's place were really
in the home, it is improbable that a goodly
halt of our femnla population would spend
Its nights dancing away from home. Tho
dance is not dead. Like other living move
ments, it has been going through an evolu
tion. Already It has achieved a metamor
phosis from tho form of a craze to that of a
healthful necessity. It Is in a way analogous
to the high cost of living; wo hear less about
(t, but it is still among those present.
Two recent temples of the latest phase of
dancing are especially interesting, Ono is
for tho few, tho few whose comings and go
ings, marriages, divorces and charities are
tha stuff of which headlines are made. The
other is for tho multitude the masses whoso
names when seen in tha papers are usually
confined to the columns devoted to matters;
natal or obituary, They are tha Club do
Vingt and tho Strand Roof Garden,
From London and Parts, before tha war,
echoes reached Now York of tha success of
tha supper clubs Mrs. Hawkeaworth knew
all about the supper clubs. She knew also
that society was a little tired of existing ho
tels and cabarets and their methods, and that
society did not always want to buy cham
pagno or extravagant suppers. Obviously,
then, the thing to do was to provide its mem
bers with a rendezvous where they could
dance and see dancing and eat and behave
otherwise just Ilka tho human beings that
they really ara. free; from the fear that it
would all ba in tha paper in tha rnornjng.
Hence tha Club de Vingt.
Situated In the Btable built by tha lata Wil
Ham H- Yanderbllt for his famous trotting
mare, Maude S, in tha daya when men of
means kept strings of thoroughbreds, tha club
is a gay place In which to while away the
hours between 3.1 and 2. There is a, pharrains
air of cozlnesa about It, and the dancing floor,
surrounded by small tables, gleama white and
inviting.
There i a very genuine tribute, to a actor
ot whom most of u have never heard in this
month' Theatre (?) :
Jftt long ago there w a itinera jjj New
YorVa East $tde Even In a nelshbersMtl
( -wfew human nature i coaraaply o4
MAGAZINES
and unhampered by the garments of conven
tion, nnd where iv birth, a death or n, rrtiu
rlage Is marked by the exhibition ot mor$
raw jmotlon than In other communities, this
funeral wbh remarkable. Thirty thousand
sweating, panting, hatf-hynlerlcnl "men and
women jammed 2d avenue and fought for
Xnntnge points from which to glimpse! thr
crepo-rovcrcd coffin held by six pallbearers,
who wero surrounded by 10 times as many
pushing, RWcnrlng policemen.
The body in tho coffin was not that of a
President, ft military hero or even rt. p6U
tlrlan. The black wooden box held nil that
wns left of art actor, Slgmund Moguleftko, a
homely, uneducated Jewish comedian, whosa
fame had hardly reached Broadway, two
blocks off, but whose personal Mend was
every one of tho 30,000 Jews who formed a
strange funeral cortege as they marched
thiough tho streets of the Ghetto, singing
the songs of the dead comedian and weeping'
as they sang.
Can nny one Imagine siich n demonstration
at tho obsequies of an American actor, or of
an American exponent of any art for that
matter? Wo Americans have no national
art, baseball excepted. Art Is merely an in
cident with us. But with the Jews, art, or
at least tho art of tho theatre. Is a national
institution.
Apropos of this tribute to the Jewish the
atre, It Is Interesting to read an appeal by
Padriac Colum, one of the younger Irish
diamatlsts, now lecturing In this country, for
tho establishment of a similar institution
among tho Irish Americans. Writing in the
Review of Reviews (4), ho says:
Tho Irish people In America have created
many vnluable institutions for themselves,
but they havo neglected to build up an Irish
dally paper and an Irish theatre. It la easy
to hpo why-r-the Irish hnve not been aliens
In language, nnd so they did not feel the need
of a special news bulletin or a special place
of entertainment.
The various nationalities In the American
itles havo each their distinctive theatre as a
radiating centro for national culture tho
German, the Italian, the Bohemian, tho Yiddish-speaking
Jew. Each theatro keeps alive)
an Interest In what is nearly the wholo of
national culture, music and poetry, songs and
stories. The Irish owe it to their self-respect
to establish a theatre: until they liavo
ono of their own It will bo hard for them to
point to anything that stands for Intellectual
effort.
