The Magic Length
WHAT is the right length for a photoplay? Obviously there Is no right
length, Some excellent stories need only n thousand feet of film ior
their best development. Some need two reels, three leels, any thing up to
fourteen. Griffith made little one-reel masterpieces for the Biograph. He
put two plots Into seven reels each and glued them together with the commit
of real artistry to make "The Birth of a Nation."
Just as obviously the producers think they have found the right length.
It is just exactly five reels. The five-part "feature" reigns supreme to
day. Hardly a theatre but depends almost solely Upon a single ntlvertised
film and a single advertised star to bring in the crowd. The only "filler
that receives a lino of advertisement or thought from the exhibitor is an
occasional strong serial.
Sometimes the Fox people find that some scenario is too crammed with
action for five reels and give it six. Mary Pickford was lately screened in
seven. De Wolf Hopper's "Don Quixote" was cut to five reels only after
exhibition. But these nre startling exceptions. In general, every film that
receives serious treatment from producers or exhibitors is of the magic length
of 5000 feet.
5000 Feet or 100,000 Words
Thero nre" a irond mnnv disnrlvnntaircs in this. In the first nlnce, it
hampers the producers. They can't give the serious attention to some short
but exquisite scenario that its story deserves. They must put their "big"
directors on "big" pictures. The best work of the best directors, srennrio
writers and actors is devoted wholly to mastering the difficult problem of
putting out n fixed length of film. It is much ns if some one had decided that
all novels should be at icast 100,000 words long. More than that, it is as if
the literary world were so managed that only stories of 100,000 words received
serious attention from publishers, middlemen or public. Where would the
short-story be? All the infinite and invaluable freedom of the written art
would be gone. Thnt is what appears to be happening in lilmdom.
iw, mMgM fnn IB j ,
The High Cost of Boredom
As a matter of fact, the five-part length holds difficulties which arc be
ginning to bo felt. Producers and exhibitors have discovered the danger of
relying on a single feature to divert an audience. It may bore. That is the
weak point The five-part form not only limits the aitistic powers of the
producers. It also insures the audiences taking the product very seriously.
If a short film is poor, well, the next will be better. But if an hpur and a
quarter of failure fills the screen, where is the evening's entertainment gone?
A Variegated Prophecy
Boston has adopted the curious solution of putting two features into
every program two chances of boredom balanced against a very large
"money's worth." But the ultimate solution seems to lie elsewhere, perhaps
nearer homo. The Stanlev Theatre is settinir an admirable example to the
trade in the care with whi-h it selects, not alone the "feature," but also the
surrounding bill. Ultimately, it is a pretty safe guess that the theatre which
endures in popularity will be the theatre with a man behind it who can pick
the best of varied programs. Sometimes he will use a long film, sometimes a
number of two, three and four rcelers; and all the time he will have novel and
striking little dramas, comedies and "trick" films in one reel. That means
co-operation from the producers, of course more novelties in the line of the
Paramount Pictographs and silhouette movies, more good directors, good
scennrio writers and good players devoted to one, two and three rcelers.
Prophecy is a risky matter. But the future seems likely to find the big men of
the art making 12-reel photoplays, after the stylo of Griffith's masterpiece,
and anything else that the stories happen to fit, from a thousand feet to eight
thousand. But not five thousand alone. K. M.
An Appeal to Decency
The first page of this section is devoted to the coming activities of the
Ballet Russo because, apart from the institutions which extend their work
over lonir neriods of time, the onera, the theatres and the orchestras, no
single organization has presented such an opportunity for entertainment,
of the very highest order, this year. The pictures and the articles indicate
the nature of the work to bo done and, fortunately, there has been no great
question of the artistic merits of the work as it is done. The significance
of M. de Diaghileff's enterprise may be summed up in his combination of
Fokine, Bakst and Stravinsky. The three arts of choreography, decoration
and music have been infused with vital and great dramatic file. Only the
last of the three is sufficiently cultivated in America, and for us the Ballet
Itusso. is a revelation.
Some things about all revelations wo resent, but it is rather pitiful that
of all things we should have chosen the so-called "moral" factors for dis
pute and scandal. Already attempts have been made, even in this city, where
the Ballet has not yet appeared, to stir up dissension. The police have been
invitod to givo or refuse their august sanction to the proceedings of an
.artistic group. The "Scheherazade" has been put in the category of "Dam
aged Goods" by a contortion of the intellect which defies analysis. The ballets
have been called corrupting and disgusting. It may be interesting to the
propagandists of these ideas to learn that when "Carmen" wns first sung in
America it was subjected to the same dirty-minded criticism.
There is a stronger sense of social decency in Philadelphia than most
persons seem to believe, and on that sense the Russian ballet confidently relies
for a fair judgment. Decency is never prurient; it is hardly curious; it is
always generous. For ourselves we know that hundreds of thousands of
clean-minded persons have found the Russian ballets dtccnt. For ourselves
we do not know anything more indecent than the sweeping indictment of
these same hundreds of thousands as corrupt and degenerate because they
have seen and enjoyed. To some the Ballet Russo has been something rev
olutionary; to others it has been the evolution of their most passionate yearn
ings for something in art which shall be all art and all life in one. To still
others it has been simply u beautiful spectacle. Some have gone to hear
the music, others to see. Few, very few, hae gone to bo indulged in a de
sire for base sensations.
Are we never to escape the domination of these few? Will there never
cease to be intelligence which can be bought or bullied into their defense?
