And they were two of the most Ithiatrlmix S.ilvlnl and Itolinn. To tho Inst dccntlo of theatre goers, nlmo.it to -the Inst scnornlinn, they nro only memories. Since they never noted hofurc the mollon-plcturo entnern, their nrt muat menn oven less tit tho future. Knlvlnl mid ttr-hntt will ho Rrcut nnmes for tnnny yenrs, but tlicre will soon he dispute about their powers nml finally oblivion. If There Were Record To speak of the movies In tho snmo breath with Salvlnl and ltehan will doubtless seem desecration to tho old-school theatregoer. Yet who would not gain fresh pleasure from seeing those welUrcmcmbcrcd features In all tho vlVld play of emotion for which they wcro noted? There would be a great deal lacking, yot n grcnt deal preserved. Few players fall to enrich the screen with tliolr presence. The revealing Intimacy of the lens taks care of that. It could havo shown us Salvlnl's terrible Sloor and Ada Kenan's Shrew. The loss Is doubly ours. ' Why Not Drew on the Screen? In earlier days, when Ocorge M. Cohan was less of an expert at setting mall-town nnd Broadway characters on tho stage, but Just as clover an actor, this critic urged him to wrlto nnd net a wordless play. The reply was far from courteous; but that, will not defer him from making somewhat the same suggestion to John Drew. Why not the movies? That distinguished face, those remarkable eyes, tho cock of tho head, they would all be Just as ef fective and amusing on tho screen as thoy are at tho Broad. As for tho laok of words, they might cut down the range of this really fine comedian, tiut otherwise they would bo no loss to the public. The "John Drew play" might be several times less agon banal In tho movies. And what social graces it would teach tho newer profession I A Circumscribed Comedian Seriously, what a, pity John Drew has nothing better to do than mild nnd welt-mannered comedies like "Tho CJilof." He has thorough mastery of his milieu good society as woll as his metier high comedy. If ho Is to present us with tho cultured lclsuro class, why shouldn't he present It when it Ib doing some thing moro interesting, something worthier of Its privileged place In Hfev than good-natured thoughtless, unconcerned, not even self-conscious philandering? As I pointed out last week, Shaw writes of this class almost exclusively, and he writes of It in tho predominant vein of comedy. But he gives it somothlng to think about besides tho crease of Its trousers. John Drew doesn't oven have to think of that. Ho Is too eternally sure of such things.' Off tho stago Mr. Drew Is a wise and witty gentleman with something to say about life. Why on earth should he slough all that oft when some playwright puts him behind tho footlights? Let There no Shadows To return tn our movie muttons, perhaps It Is Just as well that John Drew should Btay off tho screen. We arc paying too much attention as it Is to the actor's side of Illmdom. The scenario suffers by neglect as I have already "poinded out; the lighting, almost ns much. There nro some glorious excep tions, of' course. Mr. De Millo, of the Lanky Company, gives the finest of shu'dowy portraiture. He enriches scene nftcr scene, dramatically as well n.s ptctoiially, by the concentration of light from a single quarter as It usually happens In real life "Carmen, "The Cheat," "The Temptation" and "The Golden Chunco-' nie shining examples. Contrast it with tho nvorngo lighting of movie interiors. There nrc no beautiful shadows to add dramatic slgnlilcnnce. There Is the eternal "studio" light. Itadlunce comes from every direction. The farthest corners of nttlc ruonis arc us bright as the foreground. Tho walls stare out In their artificial prayness, taking tho. eye nwny from the players and their notions. Take n single scene In "Don Quixote" for an example. The Don looks out his win dows nt a sunset world. Ho turns, and wo gaze upon a chamber far moro Lrlghtly lighted. There Is no lamp, only tho ordinary light that would enter a small window. And yet every corner Is clear, sharp nnd utterly uninter esting. Such lack of imagination Is criminal In an nrt where light Is the very essence of Its existence. K. M. CUT-BACKS How Are You, llill? Wrt ni-n imlnhtod !n V.ntiltv Fntr nml Robert C.

At others you will wako up In the middle of the night nnd "dope" out the plot before morning.
