Stories' From the Screen
' vTheumnda of persons, as they have
,1tehd tho phantom figures move about
the screen in the fflm theatres, have doubt
'let "wondered how tho story which they
tiro actinic was orlglnully told. "William
Addison Lathrop, one of tho most proline
.moving picture dramatists, has collected
twenty-four of his plays and had them
printed In a volumo In the exact form in
which they wero ilrst submitted to tho pro.
ducers. They aro merely skeleton stories,
stripped of every thins savn what Is neccs
sary to understand tho action. Mr. IaUirop
says that they make no claim to literary
merit, yet there will doubtless bo man
readers who will llko them for their own
sako aside from their Interest as tho ruw
material of tho unspoken drama. Tlio oi
umo contains also ono full scenario, snow
inif how tho plays are put together by the
directors for photographing for tho screen.

FREE VERSE AND THE IM AGISTS
IN THE AMERICAN POETIC REVIVAL
Amy Lowell's Critical Estimate of Robinston,
Frost, Hilda Doohttle and Others Pound s
Note of Protest and an Anthology
SKVURAI volumes of verso lay on the
tublc. Ilcsldo them wna Amy Lowell's
"Tendencies In Modern American roetry"
Tliero were Kzra Pound's latest book, u
collection oC now verso edited by Alfred
Krcymbor-ff, Vaclu-l Ilndscy's "Chinese
Nightingale nnd 'Other l'ocms," AVltter
IJynncr's "Orenstono Poems" . Mnlthew
Arnold's excollciit selection of Words,
worth's best verso nnd s-onic others.
Prlscllla Ames, who had come In with
Dorlor JfcKabro and J)lcU Owen, was
tiiriiliif; tho leaves of volume after vol
ume. "Oh, yott'vo got Amy Lowell's book!"
sho exclaimed as &oon at her eyo caught
tho title.
"I llko her poetry," sho explained.
"Of course you do," said I. "Sho Is a
New Knglander nnd so uro you. Sho Is a
sister of President Lowell, of Harvard
University, and sho Is a woman of high
social standing. Sho can command at
tention where others less fortunately
affected by tho accident of birth aio un
heard. You Xcw ITnglandcrs aro clan
nish." "That Is not a kind thins to say," re
marked Tho Lady, who hud rnti-ral tho
room In time to catch the last sentence.
"Xot if you look nt It in tho right
way," I explained. "iMuimlfcliness, piop
crly understood, is onn of tho Ilntst hu
man traits. It is what keeps futilities
together. It Is what makes cities great
nnd prosperous. It is only patriotism
In another guise. 1 liavo no sympathy tor
internationalists. "When ou attempt to
spread tho sentiment of patriotism over
tho wholo world it becomes so thin that
tliero is nothing left of It, not even loyalty
to a group."
"Hear! Hear!" exclaimed Owen.
"I am glad you agree w'th mo," said
I. "You will also agnc with mo when
I say tiat concentration Is tho essence
of nil virtues as well as the virtue of till
essences.
Olannlslmes is only u form of concen
tration. But we aro getting a long way
fiotn Amy Lowell. I am not at all sur
prised that Prlscllla ndmlrcs her. Sho Is
a woman of groat Intellectual gifts. It la
my present opinion, subject to revision,
that sho Is greater as a critic than as 11
poet. She calls herself an imagist and
writes freo verse. Tills Is uuly another
way of saying that sho has fallen a vic
tim to the allurements of tho latest poetic
fad and uses a veiso form so different
from that to which wo have been accus
tomed that it repels rather than attracts.
Tho plain man who could road Hums or
AVordsworth with understanding and de
light would turn in despair fiom tho
verse of tho lmaglsts."
"What is an imagist?" Doctor ?Ic
Vabro asked, as he picked up Wordsworth
and began to read the great "Ode on In
timations of Immortality."
"I do not think the world Is much mora
Interested in the definition that you
seem to be," I replied. "It is a matter that
occupies tho attention of those who still
care moro for tho technique than the sub
stance of poetry. Yet one who wishes to
understand all the Intellectual move
ments, tho llttlo ones as well ns the bin
ought to know something about the new
movement in poetry, of which imagism
is a feature. Miss Lowell tells US that
'imagist verse is verso written ,n conform
ity with certain tenets voluntarily adopted
by tho poets as being those by which they
consider the host poetry to bo produced.'
The primary purpose of tho lmaglsts Is
to produce a plcturo or Image in the
mind of the reader. They discard rhthm
and use what they call cadence Instead.
If f understand them aright they think
that the ordinary rhymed metrical verse
bears about tho same relation to great
poetry that tho music of a hymn tune
bears to the Tannhacuser ovorture. It
Is a perfectly comprehensible theory.
Hnmo poetic things have been produced
according to its formula. Miss Lowell
says that Hilda Uoolittle, daughter of
Professor Doolittle, director of tho Flower
Observatory of the University of Penn
sylvania, Is ono of the greatest of the
lmaglsts. She admits that John Gould
Fletcher and herself are the other two
of tho noteworthy trilogy of American
lmaglsts. Hero is something of Miss
Doollttle's. It Is from "The Helmsman":
O lo swift

we pastured them In hollows,
cut off from the wind
and the salt truck of the marsh
Wo worshiped' In land
wo stepped past wood-flowers,
wo forgot jour tung,
we brushed wood-grass.
discussion of Miss Doolittlo Is ono of my
reasons for thinking that sho Is a better
critic than poet. Miss Ixnvell finds that
John (lould Fletcher has "written some
lino things, nnd sho sajs his tribute to
Lincoln Is the llnest that has been writ
ten. It begins:
l.lkn n gaunt, scraggl- pine
Which lifts lis bond above the. mournful
Nindhllls.
And patiently, through the dull bitter years
of silence,

said I, "you may find In thu new kind
of poetry something worthy of nttentlon."
"Uut I find somo beautiful things In
this Anthology," said Tho Lady. "Is my
taste depraved?"
"Oli no. Thero aro many beautiful
poems In It, but they are fine In splto of
their form and not because of It."

"I can seo tho shore of the sea, Its

Prlscllla.-
"Whether you call It poetry or not,

Indeed, AVhltman is the lnspiiatiuu of
many of tho new pools. Somo of them,
as lra Pound has done, frankly admit
their indebtedness. Others Imitate und
say nothing. Miss Lowell has many lino
things to say about Kdward Arlington
Robinson, but sho might have traced his
poetical origin n llttlo moro clearly.
Theio Is a Worilswuiihiun quality about
him which becomes stiiMngly manifest It
one reads the two men altoi mitoly, a qual
ity of simplicity nnd directness that
moves straight ahead with the storj.
without locourso to tho tricks or tho lazi
nesses of lessor poets. Miss Lowell finds
Hobln.soii a link between tho poetry of
tho past and that of tho present. Kobert
Frost, IMgar Leo Musters and t'.ul Sand
berg connect itoblnsou with tho lmaglsts.
1 confess that I cannot understand how
sho can like Sandberg, yet sho quotes
ono of tho prosiest bits of stuff I ever f-aw
put fortli as vei.-o aiyl confessed that 'It
is llttlo short of hublimo.' This, t sup
pose, is becnusa sho is intellectually pie
disposed to enjoy tho fieak verso. Yet,
after all, her book is likely to have a long
life as an Intelligent and acute study of
an Important intellectual movement in
America. It is admirably done. It Is
ditlicult to see how it could have been
donu better or moro symp.itlictlc.illy."
"1 seo that somo ono In Loudon calls
lCzra Pound ono of tho greatest poets of
the day," said Prlscllla, who hud been
looking over "Lustia," containing his
latest work.
"Mr. Pound undoubtedly has pot tic
gifts," said I, "but as I read him T find
him in reolt against accepted stand
urds, not only of verse form, but of life
Itself. Now, you Know, poetry of revolt
Is always of transient Interest. Tho only
poetrj that Uos Is that which contains
n sane application of great ideas to an
intelligent conception of life. It has a
moral content, not in the sense that It Is
didactic, but in the sense that It bused
on the fundamental moralities on which
the world has agiced as necessary to an
orderly and progressiva sociotj . Mr.
Pound challenges these and annouVees
that lie Is going his own gait regard
less of what tho world thinks. The road
o gieat poetiy docs not lead in that di
rection. Neither does it Ho in the direc
tion toward which is headed that gioup
of writers of new verso from which Al
fred Kieymborg has drawn for his second
anthology. Here Is a sample. It Is a
poem called 'Axiom' and Is written by
AValter Conrad Arcnsberg. Listen to It:
From a determinable hurUon

"What does It mean?" asked, Owen.

Out of tho ruck of Innumerable and moro

Hill's "Tho Rebuilding of Kurope" emerges
outstandingly. Tho eminent jurist writes
out of tho background of Intlmule experi
ence with Kuropean policies and dlplomicy
and from the philosophic depths of a trained
historian and a unlerslty professor. Doctor
Hill fccrud, after leaving his academic
chair, as United States Minister to republi
can (Switzerland and democratic Nether
lands, nnd as ambassador to autocratic and
Imperialistic Germany.
Tim ery title of his book Is construc
tive. The text considers the gleal war only
In rvl itlon to Its consequences. It stires
old Kuropc and forecasts the promlso and
achloM-iiicuts of tho new Huropo. Tho pre- 1

and national and raiinl "gflsts" ho Informs '
tho reader of the prlmar causes of the
world conflagration. Many perplexities of
diverse and conflicting policies iru claii
lleil. Tho evolutionary transfer of sov
ereignty from the Statu to peoio Is pointed
out in its relation to the war. The climax
comes In Doctor Hill's statement that not
slneu the Crusaders battled for the Chris
tian fnlth has there been waged a war
so abstract In ils aspirations and alms.
Two opposed principles of sovereign phil

Dv Howe's Remedies
Dr. Frederick C Howe, Commissioner of
Immigi.ition at the poit of New York, has
written ono of the most inlluiiimntorj books
since tho outbieak of the Kuropean war.
It bears the ubiquitous title "Tjlie High
Cost of Living," which In Itself predisposes
tho "common peepul" fnvoinbly tuvvuid 11
Russian inussacio of all prollteeis, and con
versely nil fooil prollteeis to a mine s.vs
teniatlo gouging of tho average citizen. Tho
book turn shes sufficient provocation to both.
Mr. Howe explains, with the a.d of cou
giesslonul, State and international reports,
tho woikings of the vailous boards of trade,
chambeis of commerce, produce, cattle ami
cotton eohniiges anil shows first bow the
producer Is forced either to sell under the
bu.veis conditions or not at all, and 'then
how tile ultimate tonsuiner Is mulcted by
the same foices. (exchanges, lallio.uls and
hanky are al! eminently guilty 111 this
"blockade" of the American people. This
lino of bloikade, effectively shutting oft" the
producer fiom the consumer. Is inoie com
plete and 111010 dangerous than the U-boat
blockade, uccoidlng to Mr. Howe.
The author sees a lemedy lu the tNper
iences of Australia, Denmuik, New calami
and Goimauy where co-operative dailies and
munlcipally-owmd abattoirs and transpor
tation facilities enable the product!- and
consumer to get together. Ho also sug
gests tho extension of the parcel post so as
to permit I ho mailing of everything fiom a
s'ngle egg to a cow or a ton of coal. Mr.
Howe has great faith In tho single-tax
philosophy as the Vest means to prevent a
tenant-farmer problem In this country such
as has harassed Kngland for so many gen

suppose it may be Intended to produce
the samo effect on you and me that we
received when we first tried to under
stand tho axioms in our geometry it Is
an abuse of language to call that sWt of
stuff poetry. Language is misused In
the samo way when Mr. Kieymborg culls'
one of his own productions poetry. Illo
writes:
AYe have a one-room home.
A'ou have a two-room, a three-room, four
room. We have a one-room homo
because a one-room home is all wo have,
AVe have 'a one-room homo

We hive a one-room homo
because we do not want

bheer Idiocy. Mr. Kreymborg Is tho man
who welcomed Alfred" AVutts us a new
free-verso poet of great promise. Alfred
AVatts Is now known to bo tho Joint
creation of Joyco Kilmer and Margaret
AVIddemer, Vfho agreed to write In freo

thing. They wero both surprised and

Teamwork by Fourteen
Novelists
Fourteen American authors hud a great
deal of fun In writing a composite novel
about suffrage and American politics. The
result of their united efforts is a thrilling,
absorbing work that has .a dash of love
throughout, vhllity In each line and a
decided punch In every one of the fourteen
chapters.
"The Sturdy Oak" Is a euphemistic title
Intendtd to describe the sting. chivalrous
oak of manhood piotectlug the modest,
shrinking violet M womankind from tho
llllli of a storm-beset political world.
Hi lolly, tho book deals with tho tioubles
that beset one George Remington, "still dy
ouk" candidate for district attorney lu a
war-boom town. Being Inexperienced, be
makes the fatal mistake of taking sides on
the suffrage question, vigorously denounc
ing the otes-for-woineii crusade at the
outset of his campaign. Then, between tho
women and his campaign managers the
oung politician finds no lest until lie is
finally elected by the women themselves.
But Remington has considerably changed
his views before tihls delightful denouement.
It is surprising with what smoothness'the
story flovvs along. Few readers, indeed,
would know that tho book was not Written

frank announcement at the outset, These

Hide of the ocean chiefly an u btudent of
InMct life. Ills scientific knowledee In
broader than that. In the book for young 1
people lie aeucriuea ino mineral uonueru
