By SIR HERBERT TREE
THE face, oiV shall I say, th surface, of
America has entirely chanced since I
first made Us acquaintance, twenty years
ago. New York largely dominates the
current of the nation's life, colors the at
mosphere and dictates Its fashions.
The striking Impressions one receives
on arriving In Now York City are Its archi
tecture and Its luxury. Geographical neces
sity -was the. mother of the skyscraper.
By day these giant towers convey an Im
pression of garish splendor; at night they
are spectrally imposing.
Shortly after my arrival in America I
started for California In order to fulflll a
contract to present 'Macbeth- In a series
of moving pictures.
At Xios Angeles the Mayor welcomes me
I undergo the Inevitable mental vivisection
at tho hands of the representatives of the
press, and am asked to a banquet given by
the Los Angeles Examiner, to which the
leading citizens were Invited.
The Interviewing, which Is more a cross
examination than an examlnatlon-ln-chlef,
being overcomo In an hour and a half, my
next objective Is the Flno Arts studio, situ
ated at Hollywood, a suburb about seven
miles out.
At the studio, as our car stops, we are
surrounded by a motley crowd, all painted
and costumed, among whom are red Indians,
cavaliers, moderns, gorgeous Babylonians,
and cowboys. Suddenly there Is a terrlflo
explosion as a half-dozen cowboys Are their
pistols In tho air. This Is a welcome!
Recovering from the shock and finding
myself, happily, unwounded, I raise ray hat
to the cheering crowd. My instinct tolls
me that I am In the midst of a democratlo
society.
A falr-halred little boy, five years old,
approaches. lie Is, I afterward discover,
one of tho most popular film actors. The
Infant phenomenon wears a long garment,
on which Is sewn In large letters the word
"welcome," and coming toward roe with
extended hand, at once puts me at my case
by saying:
"Pleased to meet you. Sir Tree."
By way of making conversation, I ven
ture: "And how has the -world been using you
these last few years?"
With a world-weary shrug of the shoul
ders. It replies:
"Well, I guess this world's good enough
for mo It Is a land of many babies, but
few children."
I believe the art of the moving picture

THE POET'S CHEST
NUT IS HER OWN
FAMILY TREE
No, Mario Tempest is NOT a
passionate devotee of cookery. She
does NOT furnish the dramatic
editor with her "favorite recipes."
And this i3 NOT a picture of tho
distinguished English star back in
her dear old ancestral kitchen in
Cumberland Terraco, Regent's
Park, London, N. W. Merely an
impersonation in that stirring
comedy, "A Lady's Name," which
will bo visible tonight at tho Broad.
What boots it? as Milton remarked, anticipating the dancing craze. Since a "Sybil" answer turneth away
wrath, let us confess that they belong to Joseph Cawthorn, Julia Sanderson and Donald Brian, and that
they point unmistakably to tho Forrest.

It some seasons prior to Miss Romaine's
debut Her stage name of Romalne was
chosen for her by her vocal teacher, the
distinguished Madame Rowe, of London,
who built up the name "Romalne" from
her own cognomen. The noted teacher
mado it a point that Miss Romalne should
not seek to rise gradually, but should aim
at the top from the start, and try for the
post of dramatlo soprano in Parls's great
home of grand opera, the Opera Comlque.
Sheer merit at last accomplished this pre
cise ambition, and Miss Romalne sang In
the French capital for two seasons, taking
tho title roles In Massenet's "Manon," In
"Thais," "Louise" and "rosea."
At the outbreak of the European war,
naturally, the Comlque, In common with
all the other musical enterprises of Paris,
was compelled to close Us doors. At this
Juncture Miss Romalne was heard at a
muslcalo In London by J, J. Shubert,
and the latter at once made so flattering
an offer financially that Miss Romalne
could not resist the temptation to try the
lighter field In this country.

QUESTIQNS AND
ANSWERS
JUrT-'TU Hidden Scar' with Btkl
fflMln 4 Holbrook SUsta,, a Waft
Criticizing tke Critic Is Every Playgoeis Job
THERE are a good many reasons for not trusting dramatic critics. And all of them haven't got
to do with the fact that some remember the advertiser to keep him holy.
Take this week, for instance. "Tho House 'of Glass" was duly illuminated at tho Garrick Mon
day evening. The net day the Evening Ledger's critic had the unpleasant job of discovering that he
"was in a minority of one. There were difference's of opinion among the 'critics who liked tho play.
'But they all liked it just as the audience had done.
' Now I could produce a good many explanations, but they would only bo repetitions of what
I wrote on Tuesday: The play hasn't the punch of good old melodrama or tho complete human power
and truth of genuine drama ; it lets you guess its successive situations and doesn't back them up
with deep reality.
That seems to me a sound diagnosis. I think it goes deeper than popular approval, for pop
ular approval may be won by a bastard piece of art and lost again when the public has had more
'experience of it. But, after all, it is personal opinion and it is not the public's.
Thero lies tho dilemma. Tho "critic's opini'on is only one man's opinion at one moment of
time. He, is a trained individual. But he is also ' a prejudiced individual just like any other play
goer. He seos more plays than his readers and he ought to have a broader knowledge of dramatic
literature and dramatic history. But he seos them from his own point of view. And the very' fact
that his knowledge makes him go deeper than the average playgoer sf to off his opinion as still more
personal arid different.
Obviously, then, there are only two excuses for the critic. One is educational: the playgoer
should develop a roader point of view by the comparison of his own opinions and the critic's. But
that would be a poor excue on a daily paper, where the reader expects guidance, not poet-morUm
education.
THe ettier exetuM to teempleU and potent, The playgMr whe read his erTfck'earfully-r-and
rd them eohetotently learn as much about tkem m Re does about the playa. M learns their
knowledge or lack of It, and be, learns their prejudices, ' He weighs their opinions in the balance,
just m they wUrh the plays. And by bia choice ot plays he writes hie, own criticism of the critics.

Harry Wernett: A "flash-back," In Its
most commonly accepted usage, Is a short
ened version of the "cut-back," which Is the
alternation of two or more threads of nar
rative. It Is generally used to heighten the
suspense of a situation, as In "The Birth of
a Nation," where the spectator sees alter
nately the Stoneman girl a prisoner In the
mulatto's home ; the clansmen riding to her
rescue, and the refugees In the settlers'
cabin. An Insert In a film (s any piece of
printed or written matter, such as a letter
or newspaper cupping, aucn inserts are
prepared In a special department and are
not photographed during the directing of
the photoplay, "Cut In" simply means the
Insertion of an Insert or "close-up." The
latter, formerly called "bust," Is a near
view of a person or article, as contrasted
with the full scene or "long shot," which
Is self-descriptive. The former Is applied
to Interiors; the latter exteriors. "Fade
In" and "fade out" are Just what they Im
ply i iney are most irequentiy used to end
a scene or to begin one. A vignette Is ae
cured by means of metal .masks, which pro.
duce faney outlines, such as hearts. Instead
of the conventional rectangle, A silhouette
Is a figure In full shadow,
