The "Hen Hur" Problem Again
THE arrival of "PoUyanna" baa brought up tho "Uen Hur" problem for
tho second time In n fortnight. What Is a critic to do In tho face of tho
popular acclaim of twaddle? The "mere popularity" of "Sinners' happened
to evnncsce about as quickly as Its claims to art. Hut "Pollyanna" had a. full
house tho first nleht, amused and moved It all tho evening, and Is doubtless
doing- tho same rls.ht along. Moro sophisticated Ilroadwny may not "fall for
It" ao It fell for "Paddy Long Legs." Its managers are wisely cultivating "tho
road,'' whero readers of tho "glad books" flourish, But what a crop they
harvest I
If "A Full House" Why Not "Pollyanna?"
Also, -what a crop of critical crabbedncss nnd maledictions! It raises tho Issue
between tho popular and tho artistic as no other class of play does. 1'eoplo
"who roar over tho comic unrealities of "A Full Houic." and grow tenso and
pirhaps a bit self-consciously overwrought about the melodrama of "On
Trial" and the moral hcavlngs of "The Yellow Ticket"; peoplo who have
a considerable amount of taste In their noddle, frequently enjoy tho popular
successes along those lines quite as much as the general public. But give
them successes like "Pollyanna" and they blow. Why?
Snob Versus Prig
Thero are probably a great many reasons, abstruse esthetic ones, too; but
hero Is a simple enough possibility. We liava to take "Pollyanna" seriously
even Its unmaking for It appeals on a serious basis or a sentimental basis or
both. Itn laughs have "ethics" In them, nnd Its ethics Insist on smiling bravely.
Jn general this sort of play Is guilty of keeping up a pose. It doesn't go In for
violently being itself. If tho critic who looks nt Its popularity with a jaundiced
eye Is convicted of Intellectual snobbery, the playwright must answer to the
charge of Intellectual prlgglshncss.
The Ultimate Test
Of course, tho issue Is llnally one of truth not an uncommon test of art.
Wo don't apply It to melodrama or farce successes, but we Instinctively do to
"Pollyannns." And we don't Indorse tho "glad game." A little cheerfulness Is
all right, even If It hasn't any backing or reality. In moderate doses, It is
Sood medicine. But this carload of sugar pills!
And that is letting off tho "glnd game" easily. For If we consider this sort
of gladness as reflection of actuality Instead of a euro for It, what do wo find?
Is the world a ery eas, cheerful or comfortable place? We go on living in
It because that's our earth-borne or hcavcn-glven nature. But wc know that
the realities of the moment are against us. And perhaps tho untruthfulness of
"Pollyanna" arrives most forcibly when this amazing little creature explains
how glad tho slum folks ought to bo. It is all right for Mrs. Wiggs to be gl.ul
That is her infirmity and maybe her salvation. Experience hasn't been able to
chango her temperament. But what business has this chit of 12 with the
anodyno bottle? The world Is badly In need of a little moro diM'ontent. f
Nnmc, Please!
A play-goer who onco flourished tho goose quill brings the following interest
ing observation to our attention: Have we observed the necessary anachronism
of tho high-powered automobile in the last act of "On Trial"? Thirteen years
before the play begins or in 1900 it is thore, aiding In tho escape of Trask.
Of course, It docs a lot more. It docs it so well that it qulto escapes the critics"
attention and also the charge of bad nrt. The noise of the car makes tho
escape of Trask a dozon times plainer than any explanation about a horse nnd
buggy and does It with a twelfth the effort. It aids the action without violating
the laws, of history by more than four or five vears or. arousing our antagonism.
Ruskln discovered and christened tho "pathetic fallacy." But our present
discoverer has no name for this intellectual offspring which he leaves at our
doorstop. Who will bo godfather?
Young But Lusty
Tho newly formed Motion Picture Board of Trade Is rapidly proving Its
worth. The great dinner In New York Thursday night, at which President
Wilson was tho guest of honor, Is proof enough of Its thorough grasp of the
magnitude, dignity and distinction of the art -and tho Industry. But It has
done far more practical work In Washington the past fortnight In its fight on
tho Hughes' bill. Thanks to its efforts, pernicious Tederal censorship seems
doomed, while In Its place will come the snno and equitable regulation proposed
by the Board of Trade IUelf and embodied in a measure placing tho films on
tho same basis in Interstate commerce as pictures and printed matter. K. M.
"Hell Raised"
Just for Movies
Sixteen wagonloads of earth were be
ing carted up the huge freight elevator
In tho rear of the Itolfe-Metro studio, In
West 61st street, New York city, when a
man, puzzled by this unusual procedure,
utopped to ask one of the workmen what
It meant.
"We are raising a little hell," ho saw,
as he kept to his task with an offended
air. But the workman was speaking the
truth. They were "raising a little hell "
In "Black Fear," the sensatlonnl tlve
part Metro production. In which Grace
Blliston is starred, and Grace Valentine
and Udwnrd Brennan are featured, the
principal scene in the prologue is an alle
gory which pictures a scene In hell
Charles Shulter, the technical director nt
the studio, arranged to reproduce one of
tho startling pictures of Dore, from
Dante's "Inferno " Instead of using
scenery, to represent the ground shown
In tho set, ho Insisted on having real
earth, and th 16 wagonloads were de-
vur-v wasn

MISS SHANNON AND
HER STAGE LOVER,
MR. KELCEY
When Kflle Slinnnon, of "Pollynnna"
nt the Broad, waB In the bud of girl
hood she was one of the Ideal Ingenues of
the American stage
Nor, In mnturltj,
she Is Itiionn for
many striking char
acterizations result
ing from a ripened
artistic understand
ing. "I havo fow per
sonal vanities and
no Illusions what
ever concerning tho
stago and Itn obliga
tions," said Miss
Shannon, "and yet I
confess that I like
better to portray
tho softer side of
Aunt Polly In Tol
Ivnnna' after she
has been thawed out
nf her bitterness
and nusterltv and
after ttiiivflame of early romance with
Doctor Cmlton Is rekindled b her orphan
niece, the glnd girl. Just so It used to
hurt a little when I had to comb my hnlr
straight back nnd wear tho dowdlsh at
tire of tho plain woman In 'Years of Dis
cretion' before slip made up her mind to
know the reil Jov of living and blossom
out gorgeouslv In the full glory of silks,
laces and chiffons fashioned Into the
litest modes
"Herhrrt Kclccy, my ndorcr In 'Polly
annn,' ins been nn ardent stago wooer
theso man vears. Had he really been all
the different men who pursued mo to the
diamatic altar he would have to servo a
full century for polygamj We wero stage
lovers in the original productions of 'The
Wife.' -The Charity Hill,' 'Lady Bounti
ful,' Thu Idler,' 'The Moth and tho
name' nnd Innumerable other successes
of tho New York Lvceum and Empire.
So we were also a
couple of vears ago
in Years of Discre
tion," and nre now
In 'I'olbanna' We
have even straved
down tho path of
a first and onl
lovo in polite vaude
ville. "I wonder theman
doesn't hate the

Is too good an aetoi

orange blossoms that I havo worn for him
would load a freight train a mile long.
Some dn I want to play a really wronged

THE PHOTOPLAY
Continued from Tnco One
suggests tho "clang" and smash of Jap
anese music.
In "Carmen," however, tho Itcmbrandt
Idea wns followed The lighting and
grouping of the characters In tho soft
shadows were all worked out In keeping
with tho "school" of that famous moator.
Wo are trying. In our pictures, to give
the public tho "artistic" element In pho
tography, as well as tho "commercial,"
never, howovir, neglecting the latter,
which consists In the careful technicali
ties of camera and laboratory work.
It was only after months of hard work
nnd study thnt our recent effects were
obtained, ns It becomes Infinitely moro
difficult to obtain light effects on a rap
Idly moving film than upon a properly
arranged and carefully timed plate. And
always It should be borne In mind these
effects must bo BUbdued to tho action of
tho artist, as that they are merely inci
dentalnever obtrusive
I doubt If ono person out of every 10
who seo our pictures appreciates the
enormous amount of work that must bo
done In order to secure theso effects,
but I do feel that, gradually, more people
nro beginning to notice our efforts and
appreciate them However, tho 10th per
son who Bees our productions has an ad
ditional treat In store for himself.

Also, If "The Dlrth of a Nation" marks
