MOVING UP THE MOVIES INFANT Industries aro not always tho ones to need protection. Tho husky Movlo kid has never needed the protection of lis "legitimate" mother of the sock and buskin stneo Its earliest crndlo days. Already In these few years It has ceased to to a kid, and In Its one or two decades of llfo tho mov-lnc-plcturo show lias actually como to threaten seriously the pre-omlnonco of the "legttlmato" drama, whoso sway reaches back through tho centuries, past tho Mlddlo Ages Into tho Golden Ago of Greece, and further back Into tho shadowy archives of tradition. Of a dozen articles on theatrical sub jects In tho curront magazines half aro ooncornod with "movies." Tho most significant of theso Is by Bernard Shaw, tho famous dramatist, who outlines a splendid nnd glowing future for tho movie show in tho Metropolitan (1). The effect of tho film drama on tho spoken drama Is very potent. By accus toming tho poorest playgoers to genuine realism In scenery nt no low a cost of representation nnd reproduction that our film companies can nfford to spend sums on tho original production that would ruin tho most princely nctor-manager. It reduces tho would-bo doceptlvo realistic scenery of the spoken drama to absurdity, both artistically and economically, and thereby gives a powerful and elevating Impulse to tho restoration of tho con ditions under which tho theatre attained Its highest nnd freest point. Film drama will compote so successfully with the opokon drama that It will drive It to its highest ground and close all paths to It except those In which its true glory lies; that Is, tho path of high human utter anco of great thoughts and great wit, of poeay and of prophecy. Or, as some of our more hopelessly prosaic critics call It, tho path of Talk. 1 am not forgetting tho technical possi bilities of the synchronized p'nonograph and cinematograph. I have heard a film sing, and wished it wouldn't; but that was the fault of tho original singer. I have heard a film talk through a short scene quite amusingly and successfully. I have watrfned a long Mm drama and thanked heaven that tho hero and heroine could not talk, for I know only too well that they would bore mo with sentimental twaddlo, nnd that If they once began they would drive their audience back to tho circus, vrtiere the acrobats seldom disen chant us by opening their mouths. But I onco saw an excellent film In which Sarah Bernhardt figured as Queen Eliza beth. It was In a small town on the Welsh border, to which it could never have paid nny manager to bring so ex pensive a star. When they can see and hear Forbes Robertson's "Hamlet" equal ly well produced, It will bo posslblo for our young people to grow up In healthy remoteness from the crowded masses and slums of the big cities without also grow ing up as savages. I shall not be at all surprised if the cinematograph and phonograph turn out to be the most revolutionary Inventions since writing nnd printing, and. Indeed far more revolutionary than either, for tho number of people who can read Is small, tho number of those who can read to any purpose much smaller and tho number of those who nro too tired after a day's work to read without falling aBleep enormous. But all except the blind nnd deaf can seo and hear, and when they begin to Beo farther than their own noses and their own nurseries peo ple will begin to havo somo notion of the aort of world they are living In, and then we, too, shall see what wo shall see. WHY NOT PERPETUAL MOTION PICTURES? With a pretense at condescension, but, In reality, with an undercurrent of appreciation, Francis Hockett writes of the movies In the New Republic (2): Most conservatives still see the "movie" through the noisy gloom of the first fire trap theatres. Tho "movlo" In their eyes is a theatrical tintype. They observe Its vogue, but they also observe the vogue of chewing gum. And. as they reckon It, the "movie" is In a class with chewing gum. To assume a lofty air about chewing gum would not be sincero on my part. Still, as one of tho mortals to whom it was never anything more than an avoca tion, conducted in timid privacy, I recol lect It aa perhaps tho least delectable of uselessnesses. Combining the maximum of activity with the minimum of effort, It seems to be the supreme example of lost motion, and on that ground alone I disdain It. On similar ground, though they aro equally dear to millions of Americans, ono criticises the average moving plcturea. Popular though they are, the conservatives are Justified In contemning them. Incapable of assimila tion, they are, for the most part, mental chewing gum. It Is no apology to say that they are "popular." It was once popular to dress Ilka an undertaker in summer, to sleep In a stuffy bedroom, to regard a woman who emoked as a prostitute, to be lugu brious on Sunday. A custom or a taste is not entitled to respect because It is popu lar. But where the conservatives go astray about the movies la In assuming that be cause the Invention has been unsatisfac torily utilized It Is not proved capable of the most wonderful utilization.

Stories of the adventures ahd haSf- breadth escapes encountered In produc ing many of the Alms- are fully as thrilling as the films themselves. Cleve land Moffett Is writing a series of art!" , cles for tho American Magazine 3 de scribing such adventures. Ho quotes a, story told by Carl Gregory, veteran camera man of the Thanhdiiser Com pany. "Ono of the first big motion picture) stunts I remember was when we sent v White steam automobile at full speed over the steepest part of the Plllsade and let her smash down with a wicked nobleman Insldo (played by a dummy), a scoundrel who had choked and beaten his young and beautiful American wife and had fiercely pursued her when sho was rescued by a gallant American lover In his automobile. Thero were five opera tors with cameras waiting for the smash- up, one man at tho top of the Palisades to get tho car ns she toppled over the precipice and four of us down at the bottom on tho shore of tho Hudson River, with our machines pointed up at various angles. When we heard tho director shout wo began turning our machines, and each ono of us got a section of the fall. Vo had filled up the steamer's tiitik ulth giisotlne, tn the hope that ah would cxplodo In tho nlr as bIio turned over, nnd sure enough sho did. I got a plcturo showing tho automobile shooting straight out from tho rock wall, then a clear somersault, then with a smash of, black smoke, blowing herself Into a thousand pieces, Ono of these, a hedw chunk of steel, whizzed by my head and burled Itself In the ground. We gave the wreck to a policeman, who sold It fof JIO." THE HIGH COST OF BEAUTY Musical comedy In the Broadway sense Is another comparatively modern development. Judson Stuart discusses tho problem of pleasing "tho tired busi ness man" from an interestingly tech nical and matter-of-fact point of view in tho Theatre (4). "Without any attempt to go Into the psychology of It all, the fact remains that the so-called, much-maligned nnd over worked "tired business man" flnda mora pleasure nnd restfulness In looking at a galaxy of really beautiful girls than ho does In watching the most Intricate) dance steps or listening to somo tuneful little song. It wasn't so many years ago that a keen producer sat down and tried to figure out why his show was not mak ing tho samo brilliant success as that of a rival. They were practically tho same, a sort of Jolly musical comedy, with moro melange than plot "Find out for me," he said. to his as sistant. "But, how?" hopelessly Inquired tho young man. "If people didn't know me so well I'd do It myself nnd show you. Tho only way to find out Is to talk with the people Go over thero nnd listen to them be tween the acts. Go Into tho cafes and listen to them. Got Into conversation with them, especially with the middle aged, solid men, the men who can and do afford theatre tickets. Then come back here and do the same with our patrons. There's some reason; we've got the best singers and the best dancers; we've got more comedy and 'go' and more plot." When the young man made his report he did so in a few words. "They'vo got a bunch of queens over there, while we've got a bunch of frights," he said. "But our show Is better " "All they talk about over there Is tho rood-lookers. AH they do hero Is to knock the chorus "But it is real music, every ono has a good voice " "Aw, they don't even mention the ringing; they knock tlia chorus becauae it's a bunch of frights," The producer had his show changed over a little, changed the name, let all the girls go. Every new girl he engaged was a beauty. It was not long before ha was "standing them up" every night Tickets were Belling eight weeks aheaoU Ana rrom tnat time on the cost of stage beauty began to soar. Other producers saw b. great light If the patrons wanted beauty, they would get It Ten years ago, yes, even six years ago, a chorus of 35 girls would cost the producer about JGM per week. To.day a chorus of 35 girls will deduct at least $1200 from the week's profits. In other words, there Is a High Cost of Beauty, and that cost Is nearly twice what It was a few years ago. There is a quaint description of some old-time favorites in Scrlbner's (6); I recently discovered at the bottom of a box of old keepsakes, which had not seen the light In many a year, a little photograpn snowing rour aoii-UKe fig ures standing in a row, two tiny men In dress suits and two tiny ladles tn low necked satin gowns, holding elaborate lace hundkerchlefs In their Infinitesimal white-gloved fingers.
