Death In the Theatre
TO TUB toiiR list or nrtiir mitl plnywrlRhtn whom tlcnth 1ms tnken fIulp
the Hcnson opened, tlio tnsl fortnight hns ndtleil two more. 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.

an 17, has a fad she mothers stin cuts
When she was a weo girl Marcelht lived
m a little New Kngland town, and It was
theie that sbo llrat fjimed Iier affection
, for the fellno species. After school little
Murcella would call nt the neighbors'
back doors and ask for scraps of meat
and for other tut luxutles. Then, w Hi
her basket tilled to the brim, aim would
return to her iud mid coax the ever
present and alwayji-bunsry cats from tho
back fence. They were timid at first,
but hunger provnlled, and soon all re
straint was forgotten In tho dally feast
Hut cats have little common sense; In
stead of tearing directly they perched
upon the fence and owed for mote. New
L'ngland cats have a wonderfully effec

uveired, and so .Mother Shields forbade
, any further feeding
"When I am rich enough I'll havo u
lent farm," sobbed .Marcella. "and tho,'
' cart yowl as much as they like, too."
And so the cats were finally induced tn
seek other stage for their cabaret per
formances, and Ihe Incident was forgot

young men and women who deshe lo I
becomo scenario writers or who. being!
sceumio writers. wlh for more success
than they are having In their chosen
vocation. As It Is' Impossible for me lo
answer these thousands of letters be
cause of the demands on my lime of
my own work. I nm Inking the llheity
of asking you the courtesy of publication
of this general answer to their questlnni
In your column", feeling sine that It will
save you time, ns well ns myself. In
nnswerlng the same titiptlcs, which I
suppose you have In even greater num
bers than have I. Of course, the an
swers helo given nre but the opinion
of one man anil ninny may differ with
mo In snnie of them. I tlinnk on In
advance for whatever use jou may make
of this letter.
Tho principal factor In the successful
scenario is n novel theme or nn old
theme handled In n liulj novel wnj.
Cost of production must nlwnjs ho
taken under careful cousldciatluu. Ynu
must learn to combine tho artistic with
tho economical. It Is vital.
It Is Impossible to tell how long It lakes
to inoducc a fcntinc sccnmlo. Some
times you must stew over an Idea for
years. At others you will wako up In
the middle of the night nnd "dope" out
the plot before morning. When my Idea
Is thoroughly formulated the nctttnl work
on the 'script of a llve-reeler Is from
one to two weeks. This Varies according
to jour experience nt the work and your
natural producing soecd.
The two chief qunllllcntlons of a scen
oi lo man arc: Fhst. the Imnginntivc, nnd,
second, the pinctlcnl. Too often tho de
mand Is mndc in the other order, nod
too often the writer tins more tlinu his
shatv of the first nnd nn utter absence
of the second.
Tho future of the photoplaywrlglit Is
everything In tho dim business. Oct
awny from adaptations; that Is the dilft
of tho times nnd It will gotstronger hi
that direction every jenr. They want
original stuff written directly for tho
screen. Yon must lenin to think for tho
eye nnd not for the ear.
In my humble opinion the order of Im
portance of the vnrlous factors In tho
iii'mlnntlnii nf ,. liltr nlintrinlnv lu i. u ffila
lows:
First. Scenario.
! Second. Ohector.
Third. Cast.
Fourth. Cameraman.
' Fifth. Cutting.
Sixth. Laboratory and pi luting.
i It Is' dinicult to say what is the main
trouble with the photoplny of todny.
I I do not think there la such a lot of
tiouble. It Is a jnung Industry nnd Is
coming along wonderfully at giant strides
I guess the biggest trouble of nil Is
thai tnnny of the manufacturers do not
I reallzo that they must depnit from pre-
I cedent and create utorles especially for
the screen nnd not try to adapt from
i plu.Mi nnd books.
