Barking Up the Wrong Tree
A GOOD many proplc huvo spent the week condemning "Murlc-Odlte" na a
destructive production. Cut tliey didn't bofiln by proving that destruction
Is harmful, and they picked out the wrons thins afl the object ui Mr. Jlelasco's
Iconoclasm. They Imagined amornl question was Involved and they thought a.
religious body the victims. Whcrens the Issue was ncsthrtlc and the bodies
attacked were the Association of Ifaotlisht Manufacturers and the Amalgamated
Ahlltll tHai.ll.lt- .,..

Now the Herd Can Follow
"Marlo-Odlle" Is the best demonstration yet vouchsafed the American theatre
cccr that the perennial footlights arc a doubte-barrcllcit abomination. They
are unnatural and unbcautlfut. Nature long demonstrated the J1rst. "Mnrle
Odlle" demonstrates the second, and clinches them both with the discovery that
tho average theatregoer can look on the beauty of a footllghtlris sfneo and
not know that anything Is missing. Which is likely to detcrmHi" hit of
timorous producers now hovering In Indecision.
Not Perfection, But Near It
No one can claim that Mr. Bolasco has achieved complete It Is
still artificial light and It must come at times from unnatural nn,lt When
the great door of tho convent shuts, tho result is hardly evident In the amount
of light on tho stage. But tho overhead Illumination of "Murlc-Odlle" lins
about a tenth of the faults and falseness of the old footlights. It Is warm
Instead of bleak. It reinforces the action of centring on the proper players.
It creates an atmosphere In keeping with the play. It gives us a bright enough
stage, whero tho characters appear, and yet leaves the walls in tho subdued
light which would be theirs In nature and which protects their canvas nature
from betrayal.
Real Art for the Tired Business Man
Tho Adelphl hasn't the only lesson In stagecraft. The Forrest is displaying
some of of loveliest, gayest, most vivid and generally artistic settings that
have ever ornamented the stago of that or any other downtown playhouse.
The reason Is Joseph Urban. This Viennese artist came to America, to design
scenery for grand opera. When tho war closed the Host on Opera House, ho
turned to musical comedy as a stop-gap between occasional Shakespearean
productions, such as 1'hyllls Ncllson-Terry's "Twelfth Night" and Hackctt'K
"Macbeth." So long as the American stage sticks closo to realism and eschewn
tho Imaginative and the poetic play, the artists of the new stagecraft will havo
to' depend for some ot their bread and butter on decorating the "merry merries."
It Is, of course, an excellent thing to see really charming and nmtiKin? scenery
In our lighter entertainments, and to contemplate tho tired business man
absorbing a llttlo art on the side. But it only adds to the regret that America
has no repertory theatres where the poetic and the Imaginative might find its
place and Its audience beside the realistic.
A Little Hope
While we wait, wo might as well give thanks for crumbs. One of the largest
that has fallen from the Broadway table In a long time Is tho announcement
that William Fnversham and Margaret Anglln are to pool their art and their
ambitions. As players they rank with our best. As managers, with an eye
to art as well as entertainment, they excel all but a few. Tho combination of
two such talents and two such ambitions, both In Shakespearean' nnd modern
fields, Is momentous with promise. Out of such elTortH may spring a genulno
theatre of art, organized on a sound Integral basis. But while they struggle
along Broadway and The Road towards that happy goal, what a pity that a
lesser pair of stars should have the services of Joseph L'rban. He needs them
and they need him.
If You Don't Believe Us
The Bve.vino LEnann has been urging Its readers to take fifty cents to the
Little Theatre some Friday or Saturday night nnd have a good time. The re
sponse. Judging from tho financial rocks that still threaten the Stage Society,
hasn't been an overwhelming vote of confidence In our opinion. Accordingly, let
the large army of Doubting Thomases turn back to the first page and read tho
excerpts from the current success of the Stage Society, "Helena's Husband."
If they can stay away after that, then they're hopeless.
As to Federal Censorship
Ten days ago the Motion Picture Board of Trade apparently had the
Hughes bill for national censorship laid out cold. Its own proposal for inter
state regulation, such ns applies to newspapers, magazines and printed pic
tures, seemed to have the sentiment of the Congressional Committee behind It.
Then came the regrettable action of tho Paramount and World-Kqultablo
forces In Indorsing a substitute censorship measure, with practically all tho
faults of the original Hughes bill. It seems hard to explain their move except
by some sinister motive. But, at any rate. It Is far from certain that it will
succeed.
Take Your Choice
In tho present circumstances. It Is doubly Important for tho public to get
the relative merits of "pre-publlclty," "star-chamber" censorship, and open,
frank regulation distinct in their minds, There has been no better statement of
both proposals than In the admirable trade Journal, tho Motion Picture News.
Here it Is:
What does censorship guarantee you?
(1) That every one of your pictures is presumed to be obscene until the
censors have satisfied themselves they are not.
(2) That whether clean or unclean, you must pay a stipulated fee per
picture for the examination of them by tho censors.
(3) That tho censors have all the authority of a court of law, while you
are deprived of all tho rights and privileges of a defendant on trial, even
though you are charged with a crime.
(0 That the censors are not chosen by any standards of fitness or eligibil
ity to their position, und that you shall havo no voice whatever In naming
them, or in recommending candidates for thoso offices.
(5) That In passing upon your pictures they aro enforcing no specific
provisions of a law, but arc merely authorized by the law to make their
private, personal opinion of your plcturo binding upon you, regardless of
your Intent In producing It or of the original from which It was taken.
(6) That no matter how arbitrary, or narrow, or blused, or at variance
with facts their Judgment of your picture may be, you have no redress except
in a court of law; and this will be an added expense to you, besides the
licensing fees you must pay.
(7) That when your business and property Is put In Jeopardy, Instead of
having the benefit ot Judges trained by both education and experience to
weigh the merits of the facts In such cases, and exclude all external and Im
material considerations, you arc at the mercy of a miscellaneous group of
untrained private citizens arme.I with unlimited authority, and acknowledging
no kind of restraint, und their hastiest, most careless decision is as bind
ing" upon you as the carefully cor.sldcred verdict of the gravest magistrate
of tho bench,
The Board of Trade's Bill
Regulations under Section 245 (tho Board of Trade's bill) give you theso
guarantees:
(1) That you, as a producer, aro presurwd to be a maker of decent pictures,
and are permitted to transact your business unmolested, until competent evi
dence to the contrary la lodged against you.
(2) That any one who charges you with making an obscene picture must
prove his case, according to the rules of evidence, in a court of law, where
you and he &rs equal In the eyes of tho law,
(3) That your Judges will be men trained In the weighing of fact and the
Interpretation of law, and competent to appreciate the merits of your case.
(4) That you as a reputable producer are entitled, through your Boaid
of Trade or any similar tiody, or as an exchangeman, or an exhibitor, through
your local associations, to demand that the Federal District Attorney's office.
In your district proceed against any one in the business you know to be mak
ing or marketing Indecent or obscene pictures.
(5) That all this entails no cost to you, but is a part or the State's service
to ypu as one of it taxpaying citizens; and that the man who pays is only,
the'rnan who is proved to have violated the law, , k. M.

LIFE IS A STAGE;
WORLD ITS SETTING
Continued from l'ace One
doulitrdly bo familiar to many possible
spectators of the lllm It would he Im
possible to obtain tbe effect In any other
war, The same thins applies to buildings
of bygone eras wlili-h, though no longer
actually In existence, nrc easily recog
nizable because of tbe knowledge of them
ucciuueil through Illustrations appearing
In b"oks. At the present time, however,
th'.s method of building sets is seldom
resorted to except In the matter of exotic
htructtiroi and of buildings which are
erected expressly for the purpose ot de
stroying them later In the production.
So great has become the clamor for
realism In tho presentation of "atmos
phere" that the pendulum has swung so
far from the standard of paint and canvas
that everything In done today to obtain
the actual settings which aro culled for
by the scenario. Thus the Grand Canon,
the Rocky Mountains. Florida, Ireland,
Jamaica. Cuba, the Garden .f the Gods
nnd the Yellow stone havo all served their
turn ns backgrounds for motion pictures.
The world has been circled by the lllm
men In search of atmosphere.
In tho ease of "Tho Utornnl City," tho
Famous Players sent their actors to Itome
In order to obtain tho exact settings for
this adaptation, which were so well de
scribed by Hall Calne and were so well
known by tho general public that It was
Impossible to build scenic replicas of tbe
buildings in question. In filming "Madame
Butterfly" it would have been Impoaslblo
to have constructed "property" Japanese
gardens which have withstood the search
ing eye of the camera. It was therefore
necessary to search assiduously for real
Japanese settings.
The great rush to California, which sur
passed numerically the celebrated Influx
of tho Fot ty-nlners, us duo partially to
the variety of scenery available there and
also to the fact that the strong sun
light enabled the motion-picture pro
ducer to build "Interior" sots In the open
and photograph without using artificial
light. The peculiar effect of having table
clothes and women's dresses blowing
about whll they wcie supposedly seated
In a room Is accountea for In this way.
So. whil tho stage must of necessity
stick to It J paint and Its canvas, tho easy
mobility of the motion-picture camera
niiiUt'H the whole world the film man's
stage.

Happiness and the Stage
Artistic temperament I a peculiar
thhiK and must answer for many eccen
tricities of our nrtlsts. Speaking on tho
(lucsllon of tho happiness of a stago ca
reer, Alexandra Carlisle, 13. II. Sothcrn's
lending woman, said:
"Certainly not; tho life of an artist Is
never happy. Your true artist Is always
striving after tho Ideal, which Is not ob
tainable. "At tho samo time, tho artist would bo
wretched without his art This Is true of
all art, and dramatic art Is, of all tho
nrts, perhaps tho most exacting. Mel
pomene nnd Thnlla nrc stern mistresses.
Personally, I lovo my work behind the
footlights so dearly that I glvo to It all
my thoughts, energy nnd time, and 1
would not glvo up the singe for anything
In tho world, t have nsplratlonH to bo
attained I do tint know when I have
met with a thought that touched me ho
near as ono I read the other day, by tho
obscure author of a bonk of essays on
'Acsthetlclsin.' Ho was speaking of self
expression In work, and of It ho said: 'A
bit of tho work of the highest quality Is
the key to a man's life, becauso It Is tho
product nf that life and It brings to light
that which Is hidden In the man, as truly
as tho llower lays bare to tho sun that
which was folded In tho seed. What a
man does Is, therefore, an authentic revel
ation of what ho Is, of his Individuality,
of himself, and by their works men aro
fairly and tightly Judged.'
"That, seems to me to bo exactly truo
of our profession and to epitomize the
llfcwork of a serious dramatic nrllst."
