Police Court Chronicles
When Joe Silvers heard today thut Un
cle Sam was going to get after Mexico in
dead earnest he was fired with patriotism.
lie strol&cl along Gcrmantown avenue with
head erect and chest thrown out. On sev
eral corners he paused to recite the Declara
tion of Independence,
He was In the midst of hia enthusiasm
when he suddenly spied a dangerous-looking
cannon on a small plot of ground. Joe
saluted the cannon and told It to get ready
for the frayetcross the Rio Grande.
"I'm comin round termorrcr," he said,
"an' set all the old guns In shape for this
little party. This Is no time for cannon
to be on exhibition. We want 'em all ter
fight "
Just then a icop happened along and Joe
directed his opinions to him.
"All ther coys orter Inllst right away
and carry a gan Instead of a club," Ue-
Thnt factional troubles will he put aside
In tho fight for the Republican presidential
nominee In city nnd .Htnto was predicted
today by followers of Mayor Smith and
Senator McNIchol, who look upon yester
day's harmony conference as the first step
toward truce between warring leaders. No
ono nt City Ilnll, however, will go sa far
as to predict that the peace Is more than
temporary or that It will extend to local
polities.
Under the pretext of "lining up" Phila
delphia solidly behind the Hughes can
didacy, a "working agreement" Is being
formulated under which the McNIchol forces
In Councils will support the administration
If no more McNIchol otllceholders are dis
missed from city or county service. The
agreement Is said not to reach to tho county
olllccs where tho Vnres are In control. It
Is nrgued that tho Vnr-i nave no Intention
of retaining in olllce McNIchol followers or
otherwise lending aid to their factional op
ponent. Not less than three times In tho past
Mayor Smith and Senator McNIchol have
attempted to get together politically, but
nil previous efforts have met with failure.
On the common ground of a presidential
campaign they aro expected to prove more
successful. The Mayor has Jurisdiction only
over city ofllces and Is Interested In tho
success of the Administration. His lack of
control of tho county olllces gives tho Vare
forces a lever likely to bo used at any
time. Desplto any harmony plans already
under way, further dismissals from county
ofllces are expected nt the end of tho
month.
A series of conferences between ward
leaders and the Mayor Is planned, and the
first of these occurred today, when James A.
Carey, McNIchol leader of tho 5th Ward,
adopted a conciliatory attitude toward the
Administration. Harry .1. Trainer, the 3d
Ward lender, who months ago left the Vare
enmp nnd who has led opposition to the
Administration in Councils, is the one leader
not Included In present pence plans, and
It Is understood that a vigorous fight will
be made to wrest the 3d Ward from his
control during tho coming year.
Those Ingredients which go to make up

Then occurs a quick society scandal. One
dog calls on the Mnjor's wife during his

Hy the Photoplay Editor
Movies of a new wort lilt town Inst night.
It's n little hnrd to say Just whnf sort, be
causo the entertainment nt the Forrest
wns about as varlecnled and miscellane
ously diverting a show as over passed under
the nnme of photoplay. "The Ne'er Do
Well" Itself wns In some wnys the least
part of a very good evening's entertain
ment. Wllllnm Mooro Patch, mnnnglng direc
tor of the Pitt Theatre. Pittsburgh, and
Inlioducer to Philadelphia of n new typo
or movie show, hegnn the transformation
right nt the door. The lobby of the For
rest was lit by blue and amber globes;
the foyer had white-covered settees, and
the whole house down to tho cttrtnln line
wns full of greenery. The orchestra pit
held 20 players, a Klelnwny grand, a real
pianist nnd a rcnl conductor Carl Horn
thaler, of Pittsburgh, Upon tho Btngo nn
"atmospheric setting." showing n troplcnl
seneonst, nnd a negro ipinrtet filled In the
Intermissions. Music of a decidedly
Spnnlshy nnd npproprlnle nature barked
up tho nctlon on tho screen. The final
novelty wns yet nnolher menns of stimu
lating the emotions, noises nnd even
speeches "off stnge" to fill out tho business
shown on the screen.
Now. It Is bnrcly possible that the photo
play Is nn nrt thnt needs no "poken nslden,
no revolver shots' nnd no rnttle of glnsses.
Ilut undeniably It does benefit from appro
priate music nnd from n Judicious use of
noise to top some rushing climax. It Is
only a matter of Jus-t where to stop. Mr.
Patch went over the line occasionally last
night. Oftener he heightened the Interest
nnd excitement of tho film. And till the
time, everywhere, he supplied something
novel for the spectator to enjoy nnd remember.
As for "The Ne'er Do Well" Itself. It Is
no cpoch-mnklng masterpiece. Ilut It Is
steadily entertaining, it holds your In
terest from beginning to end. Sometimes,
particularly" In the cnrller scenes of the
rowing of Kirk's "wild onts," It Is hilari
ously exciting. The rest of the tlmu , it
marches steadily along on tho road of good
amusement. It tells nn excellent tnle with
very few of tho commoner fallings of the
screen. '

represented by nn appropriate float accom

The 400 nlumnl. grouped In their re
spective clnsses. added much to the char

. mammoth float representing n prehistoric
animal was the ludicrous contribution of
the biological department.
This morning diplomas were awarded to

of the committee in charge of the affair.
Tho cntertnlnmcnt at the Stanley this
week Is decidedly Plckfordlan. Not, of
course, tho short subjects; they nre as
well-balanced and entertaining ns usual,
plus one of those over-amusing Keystones,
"Willie's Wobbly Way," with Willie Col
lier. It Is tho Paramount-Famous Players
fcatuic, "Destiny's Toy." nnd Ha htnr,
Loulso Huff, that are responsible for tho
Plckrnrd stuff.
"Destiny's Toy" supplies Its star with a
chance to display nil the fascinating, sun
haloed yellow curls which nre tho glory of
both Miss Plckford nnd Miss Huff, and tho
vixenish smllo nnd .spontaneous bounce
which they both possess. It puts Miss Huff
Into tho clothes of u slum boy In the np
proved manner; It gets her married to the
hero, after mlxups with criminals, and It
finally Identifies her us a rich mnn's ship
wrecked daughter by a home-made straw
berry mark, hrnnded accidentally upon her
youthful skin by his hot scaling wax.
There nro some very good fights nnd
bits of crime In "Destiny's Toy." The story
l.i woll sprinkled with Interest ,
Tho Arcadia Is displaying n Fine Arts
Triangle film thnt makes you think, for the
moment, that you nro seeing "The Birth of

JL ers who are writing their first photoplays
nro trying to write feature subjects. This
Is not nnvlsable, and works more harm than
good. Sevcnl writers, when I have sug
gested thnt they try tho shorter-length sub
jects, have cited novelists who never wrote
a short .story In their lives. They attempt
to compnfc the short story with the Bhort
photoplay nnd the book-length novel with
the feature or multiple-reel photoplny.
Tho comparison Is good, but ono factor
Is overlooked technique If you want to
wrlto synopses only It makes tittle differ
ence whether you write n long story or
n short one, but the development nf n short,
single-reel subject-lays tho groundwork for
the entire study of the photoplay-scenario.
Let us consider the short-length subject
and noto the difference between It and tho
longer or feature photoplny. For cxnmple.
we will build a single-reel photoplny nn
wo go along. It will lack merit for produc
tion, but probably will Illustrate construc
tion. Taking an old familiar theme wo will
see how It can be twisted nnd how new
angles will crop up thnt mako it altogether
another story. Mary Jones Is the daughter
of John Jones, n rich banker. He Is a
widower, and she Is the Idol of her father's
llfo. It Is for her that he accumulates
wealth. We must Introduce these charaters
in their ntmosphore. Wo must get to the
"meat" of our story nt once.
If It Is a feature picture wo can elaborate,
and Just here comes tho first difficulty.
Most beginners can elaborate, but they do
not tell tho story while doing so. They
show scenes that mean nothing, Advanco
the notion, should bo every beginner's
watchword. Learning how to do this Is
absolutely essential.
In tho fenturo picture yon enn even In
troduce your counterplot nt this stage. If
by doing so you can give your principal
charncter otinophcre nnd character. For
cxnmple, we might want to show thnt In
the counterplot n certain group of men
wero attempting to ruin tho girl's father.
These men aro not concerned In tho main
plot, but somewhere In your story they nre
going to bring nbout John Jotres' down
fall nnd present n now sltuntiun Into which
your principal characters nro plnced.
Theso chnrncters should be seen poor,
nnd It Is necessary that they bo poor In
order thnt the hero win Mnry. The tothcrs
have no Interest In the hero or Mary. They
are concerned In accomplishing tho ruin of
Jones nnd may be rich or poor.
Their motives form the counterplot. They
may lie Introduced ns wealthy men ut a ball
that Is attended by Mary. Thus wn would
place Mary and start the characters of tho
counterplot at the same time. i
Wo would not like to show scenes of
Mary at the ball Tor no other reason than
to show that she Is a girl of wealth and
accustomed to attending balls. If wo can
start the counterplot, however, we aro ad
vancing the story, and while advancing the
story we nre giving atmosphere to our lead
ing characters.-
To get back to the single .reel subject
ngaln. Wo could not afford to give spaco to
tho development of such a counterplot. If
Jones Is to ho ruined- we must show him
bringing ruin upon himself through specula
tion or other means. Perhaps wo can show
that he has enemies In tho business world,
but these enemies never become personal
ities. If they do wo are digressing nnd getting
away from the story. Wo ore asking tho
audience then to meet Mr. Brown and Mr.
Smith nnd to get acquainted.
It isn't enough to 'show two men In an
office. The men nre Introduced, but they
arc not personalities. You can't establish
n character or a premise without following
It out to Its logical conclusion. So we will
forget the counterplot and stick to our main
theme.
Wo must Introduce our hero. Call him
cared for women. H0 thinks thatdW IJ.

Or thcro Is another way. Robert Is dh

rose. The memories enn bring back the

It Is a point thnt wll tax the Ingenuity
of the scenario writer. Hero he has a

writer proves his worth.
