Camera
DeWolf Hopper's return to Philadel
phia An commandant of the collection of
comedians In the Winter Oarden revue.
The Passing Hhow of 1917," at the
Chestnut Street Opera Ilmise, marks this
popular star's first local visit since his
memorable success In the Ollbert and
Sullivan repertoire and his redemption
from activity In tho field of motion pic
tures Hopper, It n 111 be recalled,. was
one of the first of tho "great names" of
the legitimate stage to succumb to the
lure of the screen when the promoters of
celluloid drama suddenly determined,
two seasons ago, that tho future of their
Important branch of the amusement In
dustry was dependent upon drafting for
service before tho camera most of the
players who commanded a real follow
ing among the patrons of the first class
theatres
What with his long line of comedy
successes, It was but natural that the
"movie' magnites should see In Hop
per what was their Idea of exactly the
kind of mirth provoker that the new
order of films was to make l.now-n and,
accordingly, there was brisk bidding by
rival concerns for the prhllego of In
troducing the elongated comedian as a
cinema star. Mr. Hopper was then ap
pearing In the Gllbert-Sulllvan operas
In New York and hardly an evening
pissed without some moving picture Im
presario seeking him out with an offer
to desert the'legltlmate stage for studio
Finally the comedian rose to the tempt
ing financial bait J100.000 for ten
months' servlco In th I-os Angeles land
of make-believe was the prolslon In the
contract he signed and, closing his sea
son on Broadway, he went to California
for what he now describes as the most
uncomfortable and unhappy experience
In his extensive professional career.
The story of Hopper's subsequent non
success on tho screen Is tho story of the
Imltar experiences of Weber and Fields,
"William Collier and other famous funnv
men of the footlights Somehow the
laughter-provoking abilities of these
comedians, long since established In the
legitimate theatres, did not transfer to
or "register" on the screen. Strango
nd obvious as It may seem now, the
motion-picture producers . completely
overlooked the Important fact that their
medium could no.t reproduce the human
voice which. In most Instances, especially
In the case of Mr. Hopper, constitutes a
valuable asset for a successful come
dian "Movies?' said Mr Hopper, leccunt
Ing his experiences. "How t hate 'em,
htte 'erw hate 'em! Posing for the
camera Is certainly a weird and won
drous life, but not for me. I'e had my
share, thank ou, and never again To
the man trained In the methods of the
legitimate stage, the worst thing about
motion-picture acting Is the rcmplete
lack of sequence OrderI, logical and
reasonable development of a theme or
story, as It Is manifested In the unfold
ing of the plot of a drama or musical
play In the theatre, Is something abso
lutely unheard of In the making cf the
movies. 1 played In one plcturo In which
I was killed three weeks before the pic
ture was finished The bullet which
killed me was fired three daja before It
hit me. The- man who fired It loaded
the bullet Into his pistol a couple of
days' before he fired It. That's what I
mean by a Jack of sequence.
l"In the movies the actor never knows
what he Is playing. Nobcdy tells von
whlttthe picture li about. I.Ike a child
learning to Walk, jou blmply follow the
director's Instruction to do this or do
thet--'reglster' this emotion or the
other, as they call It without an ade
quate Idea cf what Is Intended that vou
should really counterfeit. I am glad,
however, that I had the experience In
movies, now that It Is over, een if 1 was
not alwas happy."

The program was notable for Its va

something to suit all musical tables. The
concert was one of the finest the club

and , well-scored part-song, was written
especially for the Mendelssohn Club by

The program gave Philadelphia its
first hearing of an Important work by

thoroughly appreciated the comfort In
which they were living In Swltierland,
but still they longed tot see Uljchty once
again. Thls.wlll puhaps explain some
of the sentiment's expressed In the fol
lowing article, quoted from an August
number of the D. I. M.!
"Interned prisoners of war nre a
species of animals usually found In a
neutral country. The word 'Interned'
comes from the Latin 'Ino meaning 'fed,'
and 'tenuis,' meaning 'up' Thei are
used In the winter for moving largo
quantities of snow from one place to
another, and In the summer for vlolng
the same thing with rocks and gravel
"They arc amusing crettures to wntth
They live lit large communities like the
bees These communities or establish

nre presided over by whit Is known ns
a chief of establishment, something sim
ilar to the 'queen bee.' Unlike the latter,
the chief of establishment cfoes not lay
the eggs which produce the other pris
oners of war Thec arc hatched out In
the mud of France nnd elsewhere, usu
ally In a. hollow of the ground called a
shell hole.

'There are different bpeclef of In

We boon learned tint the rumor that
a certain number of Englishmen were
to be repatriated had been confirmed
At a conference held at TheHague, an
agreement had been reached between the
British and German Governments .for
the exchange of Interned prisoners In

of French nnd German prisoners e

way their prisoners had been treated.
and admitted that no other country had
done the like Our people bowed back
acknowledgment nnd thnnkp, but could
not teturn the compliment.
This agreement applied to the follow

principle followed being that the sick

The doctors In charge at Murren cur-,

man and selected u certain number ns
eligible to appear before the final cori-

Swiss doctors.

ous condition." The onlj, out of twenty,
were compelled to resign themselves to
remain Jn- Switzerland. The rest of us
dashed to the postofflce and cabled home
the glad tidings.
We heard.that only 400 Germans had
been passed for repatriation on account
of the fact that they knew when the)
were well off, and refused to present
themselv es ' to the commission. Alto
gether. 860 of the Urltlsh Interned pris
oners had been accepted.
Before leaving for home the German
officers had a banquet probably their
last for some time to come at which
they dranlr a large quantity of the best
wine obtainable. We were told on good
authority that Instead of being jovial
this affair was one of the gloomiest ever
held In Berne.
At 4 o'clock In the afternoon of Sep
tember 8, the first load of happy and ex
cited ' men descended ' the funlculalre,
and thus completed tho first stage of
their fvoyage home.
