What Two-dollar Movies
Mean to Dramatic Art
By D. W. GRIFFITH
(Producer of "The Dlrth of a Nation.")
WHILE; there has been a vast amount
of comment regarding the advent of
the 12 motion picture, It seems to me that
mere rcauy is no oc
casion for surprlso
that a picture should
bo produced which
vies with tho best
offerings of the dra
matic stage. After
all. It Is nothing but
the old flrst law of
nature the survival
of tho Attest. The
remainder Is purely
MbW tL a Question of selec

Ueacrcs of the theatre world said It
would not succeed. Vou seo they know
nothing or pictures. Most people had
looted, upon a motion-picture drama as
a 10-cent proposition. They measured
everything by the standard of price. It
Was not surprising that they overlooked
'the fundamental facts In the caso and
were unprepared to pass judgment upon
this undertaking. Dut In all truth there

sow well they are done and reverts back
olely to a question of merit. It takes
neat care, tlmo and an enormous exoense
to produce a plcturo which will compare

You see an observing director has the
world for his studios. The centuries have
been piling up these Inexhaustible pro
ductions for him. Ho has but to use
nrttstlc sense In tho matter of selection.
I firmly believe tho day will como
when tho great poetic pictures will not
only compaio with the best of the legiti
mate stage, but will be upon a parity
with the greatest productions of tho
grond opera and corresponding prices.
Remember, a few years ago It was tho
limit of extravagance to spend $3000 on
a movlng-plcture production. At that
tlmo wo played to 5-eent audiences. Now
we crowd tho theatres everywhere at ?2 a
scat. By this ratio what Is to hinder a
producer from spending fl.000,000 and
getting 3 a scat?

Fortunately tho town Is to see n new
farco as tho opening attraction at the

familiar "Pair of Blxles." It Is "Brother
Masons," n piece by Seymour Brown nnd
Harry Lewis, which was produced at At

excellent. Including Frank Mclntyre, of
"Tho Traveling Salesman."; Maud
Eburnc, of "A Pair of Slxles"; Do Witt
C. Jennings, William Bosclle nnd others.
When Mr. Leahy presents Robert
Edeson nt tho Wnlnut Monday night. In
"Fine Feathers," ho will Inaugurate the
first star-stock Reason that Philadelphia
has enjojed In some years. To the at
tractions of the opening bill he adds a
very modest prlco scale nnd tho promise
of an Interesting production for the sec
ond week, Emma Dunn, In "Tho Gover
nor's Wife," the drama by Alice Brady
which David Belasco originally produced.
Mr. Leahy Is no stranger to tho system
which he Is reintroducing here. He has
already engineered a very successful sea
son of star-stock In Boston, with players
of tho calibre of Nance O'NcIl nnd Ed
mund Brcese.
The Knickerbocker opens as a stock
theatre on Labor Day. The first bill Is to
bo tho famous old play of "Diplomacy," of
which Charles Frohman made an all-star
revival last season, with William Gillette,
Blanche Bates nnd Marie Doro. Georgo
W. Barbtcr, who was commissioned by
William "W. Miller to engage a company,
has selected Eva Marsh as leading
woman. The leading man will be Richard
LaSalle, an actor of versatility. Tho Phil
adelphia favorite, Carrie Thatcher, has
been engaged as Becond to tho leading
woman, while tho heavy roles will be
essayed by Ted Brnckett. The Ingenue
