AX EAR ago the mo
jfj panicky pifflo is at a discount. Tho drama is still alive,
and Hie movies aro doinp all sorl3 of ffood thinpa for it.
Tiio movies are tcachinjr the stago technical lessons in tho
art of production. They are showing it how to una that most
powerful of all single elemonts in a atage picture light.
The movies aro educating an audience educating an audi
ence to want ood theatrical entortainmentn ; educating it to
want reasonable theatre prices, and educating it into tho habit
of forming a definite wcek-after-weok cliontolc something that
will count mightily whon the local "repertory thoatro begins to
rule in America,.
More than that, tho movies are going out of their way to
bridgo tho financial gap that lies between the present long-run-touring
system and tho future. Experimentation in tho theatre
costs money. Losses aro the natural thing when stars and man
agers try to introduce the resident repertory 'company, or any
other forward-looking enterprise to a public unused to it. Now
pioneers in this transitional period arc learning that tho movies
stand ready to aid them. Stars like Fiiverahnm, Nazimova,
Arnold Daly, Pavlowa have mado small fortunes on tho screen
to spend in new artistic endeavors upon tho stage.
The movies stand ready to endow tho thoatro.
Every day brings co-operation of screen and rftago closer.
About a year ago, Arthur Hopkins, tho brilliant young producer
responsible for "On Trial" and "Tho Poor Little Rich Girl," told
me that when he has his repertory theatre in Now York, Ills plays
and his players, translated to the screen, will bring him a yearly
income which will alone guarantoo him against initial deficits,
Now Mr. Hopkins has associated himself with tho theatrical firm
of the Sohvyns in a new photoplay organization, called from the
part played in it by Samuol Goldish, of Laaky fumo, the Goldwyn
Pictures Corporation.
Here is something big not alone in the plays and the players
which this exceptionally successful group of managora will bring
to the screen. The big thing i3 the co-operation of the two arts-
artistic and financial. It means a solictor money basis for each,
More than that, it means tho interchanjro of talont and of Ideas,
of the material upon which each art thrives.
Watch these new pictures. And watch Hopkins and tljo
Solwyns whon thoy make their first now theatrical productions
next season. K. M.
