' 10 EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER PHILADELPHIA TUESDAY, JULY 26, 1&21 zr 3 I 1 I ft I H $ &v ;t CLOSE-UPS of the By HENRY They Tell Us Why They Arc Staying Atvay IT HAS been mighty interesting nnd Instructive, during the last week, to read through the many letters sent to this offico in answer to the recent article asking readers why they are not attending the movies as they used to do. Several of the letters, each representative of many thnt tako essentially the Mmo view, arc worth reproducing. And yet, ns you can seo by reading thera, there in among the fans almost as wide a divcrgenco of views as there is among the producers nnd exhibitors themselves. Only one thing is surprising nnd thnt is the preponderance of opinion that the standard of photoplays Is not ai high now as it has been In the past. Is that strictly true? 1 confess I am not quite able to mako up my mind that it is. It seems to me that the last six months has brought us many genuinely notnblc plays and I am sure that settings, direction, continuity and average ability of casts are steadily rising. l'ct most of these correspondents disagree with me. They may be right. Enumerating the plays that have Influenced my own opinion, I find that tho best of them have not yet been seen here. If they had it might make n differ- ncc. You will all see them In the fall. yOU will be interested in some of the typical letters. They come from average font teho arc not closely identified with the business ' and whose perspective is just tehat the house managers and producers leant to get. Do you agree teith these writers! Let us hear from you. FROM Mrs. Samuel C. Day comes a brief nnd definite statement which expresses the opinion of many. She fays: "The reason why my friends and I no longer go to the cinema ns frequently br heretofore is that the prices are too high and, furthermore, the standard of pictures and actors has become so mediocre thnt I consider it n waste of time to see them. With the exception of four films recently shown 'Passion, Deception,' 'Gjpsy Wood' and 'Sentimental Tommy' tho pictures offered have not been worth seeing." Yet three of these Alms were German-made and other correspondents blame the Germans for the slump. Mrs. T. J. D., of Midvale avenue, Gcrmnntown, writes : "The reason that I and many other people whom I know do not go to the tnovlea and do not expect to go for some time to come ia that the German-made films which are shown almost exclusively in Gcrraantown nrc repulsive In thoir coarseness and grossness. For a period of ono year our patience has been sorely tried by having these German-made films forced upon us. Our only redress la to remain away from the movies until American-made movies with American actors come into their own again. "The objectionable films were 'Passion, mado in Berlin; Charlie Chaplin la 'Tho Immigrant' nnd 'The Kid,' Gcraldlne Fnrrar In a very German thn, Elsie Ferguson in 'Sacred nnd Profane Love.' "The German comics nrc worse, If possible, than the more serious ones." J THERE'S a frame of mind that is right in line with tchat we 7iad to . say the Other day about this anti-forcign propaganda. It goes to ! extremes, you see; it overlooks facts and refuses to admit truths. i Charlie Chaplin's tieo greatest pictures and Elsie Ferguson's ' fine screening of a notable stage succesi were Qerman-made, then I was lorn in Hindustan and raised in Saghalitn. And I always had an idea that Geraldine Farrar teas fairly I American, considering that she spent Philadelphia. ITTHE star system comes in for definite disapproval from one correspondent J- and he proves himself a shrewd observer of recent tendencies in moviedom. There will be many who will agree with him, and one of them is the writer of this column. This correspondent snys : "The movies ore not ns good in quality as they used to be. Any one who appreciates renl acting nnd pays to see a STAR does not enre to eco anything else but n good picture with n REAL STAR at the head, nnd they Will never be satisfied with a substitute or NEAR STAR. "In other words, it seems ns if every mnn or woman who can act just a little better than when they commenced is being classed ns a star, and the people par the price to see what they consider one, nnd she does not mensure up to their lden. "THAT IS THE REASON PEOPLE DO NOT GO AS BEFORE. They will not be fooled, and they know and feel a real actress when they see one. "There are lots of mediocre nctrcsse. but very, very few real tars. The writer takes this occasion to name a few of the renl oiics : MARY PICKFORD, FARRAR TALMADGE (NORMA), STEWART (ANITA), NAZIMOVA, FREDERICK. FERGUSON. FAIRBANKS, CHAPLIN, HART, ROBERTS, LITTLE WESLEY BARRY nnd a few others, nnd nil the rest are NEAR STARS. "Give us n few more pictures like 'THE MIRACLE MAN,' 'LYING LIPS,' 'MALE AND FEMALE,' etc. We speak of the pictures and not the people In thcui. "To the above list of real stars may be added Marguerite Clark nnd the Japanese actor, Sessue Hayakawn. "It is very pleasant to occupy a seat in a beautiful theatre, but the picture la the main attraction to one who appreciates good Acting. "The writer has heard more than one person express themselves the same as the above. It is QUALITY that Is wanted nnd NOT beautiful surroundings, with highly-paid orchestras. Give the people REAL STARS and your theatres will be filled as formerly." THEN there are a lot of correspondents icho say they object to plays on the social problem and tho sex triangle. Yet these are basio themes that have built up the success of great literature and fine drama, despite the fact that there have always been the same number of people to whom the themes are distasteful. It is doubtful whether there are any more films based on them that there have been in the past. I HAVE saved the best letter for the directly to the boss. The writer surreptitiously destroyed without the bos-j learning how shamefully he is being film-flammed every day. Its writer, who signs himself T. D. O'B., sa)s: "Mr. Neely's article in your issue of the 1'Oth is in itself n perfect answer to the question he raises as to why we arc not going to the movies. "It is Insincere, mawkish, nnd evidently written In the belief that the public is too dense to sec its insincerity. Mr. Necly speaks of the moving picture activity as an 'industry' and a 'game.' His letter is in the same vein. "It hni no genuine feeling in it; it has no desire to tell the public the truth: it is deliberate humbug and economically it hopes to get away with the argument that it is tho business of the public to provide jobs for an; body who turns up for them. The movies and the movie actors exist; it is the business of the public to keep them in existence. "Whut can Mr. Ncclv expect by tho use of humbug of this sort? His 'game' is too thin. "The whole matter It that the moving-picture 'gamp' or 'industry' has killed the goose that laid its golden rgg. It fell into the hnnds of buccaneers who used it for their own purposes of increasing their own weulth. They mode no attempt to educate the public; In point of fact, they laughed In their faces and pocketed their gains." 50 Tl any TIIEItE y'are, Geraldine. more. We're been getting flim-flammed the readers and the loss to a fare-you-well. Hut no more. T. D. O'll. is on to us. lie proves he's a psycholo gist by penetrating our thin veneer of sincerity. And he shows he's a keen economist by discovering that the producers arc in the movie business to make money. Oh, shame! Also horrori! They shouldn't do that. They should be in the business for their health, same as every other business man is. And now that you've heard these different views, what's the answer! Why aren't you going to the movies as you used tot WANTED ONE REAL SITUATION IN PLACE OF 3 StJNSETS By JEANIE MacIMIKKSON VTrUfT of "The Affair of AnatM" nnH Othrr Famous Photoplay for Crrll II. Do Mills fTTAVE jou n 'bump for drama'?" " That's n question every would be scenario writer khould ask himself. And not one out of n thousand docs. Thai intangible, nwtaphyslcal thing that concentrates all of the emotions and situations of a story in tho heart of a centrnl chnractcr that's drama. Rut, oh, how far the beginner misses that ideal ! I spent four hours with a young writer recently, nnd I told him nt the end that I'd gladly trade him three of his gorgeous Hawaiian Minuets ror one real situation. As a matter of fact, he did have n germ of an idea, but it watt nc burled in tho sunsets Unit he didn't know it wiih there. A very large proportion of the peo ple who send up hccnarlos are decidedly clever individuals. In their stories ho find occasional dramatic situations of rrol turrit, a touch of clever psychology purhapx, deft character drawijig and wonderfully colored atmosphere, But' the trouble is the beginner, the fC?e Daily Movie Magazine MOVIE GAME M.

Cecil B. De Mille triumphed with ".loan, tho Woman" bcenuse tlio piny centered in the heart of a wonderful character. In "Male and Female" tho rhanged situation of tho butler on a desert isle gripped our attention. Anri su it goes. The young writer with thoughts of coiortui sunsets in ills mind goes awny from one of these plays nnd say. " by, I can beat that." For he has In Ills mind a bit of atmosphere or a tiny ltuntlon wlilch to lilm seems to surpass the play ho has Just seen. Isn't that n mistaken attitude? In stead of going to pick the "wrongs," whv not try to find the "rights"? What is there in such a production that makes people willing to pny out their hard-earned money to see it to be willing to stand in long box office lines in anticipation of the pleas ure that awaits within? -aoung scenario writers would uo wen tWbtuuy current successes. Such Intensive, unprejudiced analysis would at least help to develop their "bump of drama" to distinguish in their minds the difference between the close-woven fabric of n well-knit story nnd the tangle of threads one finds in the usual combination of atmosphere nun unrelated incident mat nna.s its way into the hands of the scenario reader. GET PAID TO PLAY wf' aaaWaHBaWaaBBvBBfl VJi Movies Changing Faces of American Race M0T1 '- the faces of American men and women. This it; the belief of Henry Cllvo, well-known irtlst, who has just completed portraits of n num ber of famous film stars, including Gloria Swauson, Bcbo Daniels, Wal lace Reid, Agnes Ayres and Wnndn Hawley. "Motion pictures nro making the American face lr.oro mobile, more plastic," said Mr. Give. "Because of thp necessity of interpreting thoughts nnd actions entirely by means of facial expression, film actors have developed fnces which register emotions an quickly ns the surface of n placid lake records the passago of a summer breeze. "This is not only true of actors and actresses, but Its effect Is seen m tho fnces of millions of inovio fans. Gloria Swnnson's feminine admirers have acquired all the facial mannerisms which Misa Swnnson shows on the screen ; Wallnco Reid's manner of lifting his eyebrows has set all the young men of the country to lifting their eyebrows, too. "For years observers, both here nnd abroad, hnvo declared that tho typical American face was rather stern and tet. This was true until the jnovlcs came to be such a power nnd influence. It in true no longer; the American is becoming as facially expressive as the Frenchman or the Italian." The Darlings of the Screen Grace Durmond. who will piny n lending rolo in John M.

Calif. Wi HAT would you think of a Gold- vn studio ofHclnl told von he was going to take you to tho Mud Shop? Ho did I. But curiosity overcoming my fear for his sanity, 1 trotted close behind him ns he, led the way through devious paths nnd if you've ever been in n large motion picture plant, you know they nrc that 1 to n sort of barn affair, which eventually proved to be ono of the most interesting places I hnvo ever visited. Briefly, it is the shop in which nrc modeled, in specially made plnster called magnasitc, nit the wall plaques, statues, vases, and most of the dishes used in Goldwyn productions. Here, too, are mndo what is called In studio parlance, "breakaway" dishes and bottles. To Illustrate personally, one of our party, tho representative of "vnricty," grasped n wicked-looking beer bottle by the neck nnd brought It down on my head. I should like to hope the horrid net was prompted by professional jealousy, but in that moment I thought of nothing but my sins, nnd expected the worst. But nothing happened. The pieces Just tinkled to the floor harmlessly. Technically, breakaway dishes are made of resin, nnd will shatter at the slight est blow. The shop is in charge of a noted architect. Charles Schreibcr. Before coming West, he worked in his own large New York studio in collabora tion with the late Stanford White. Ho came to California at the call of Maurice Tourncur, to reproduce for him, from an old Spanish galleon, tho pirate ship used in "Trcusuic Island." After this Mr. Schreibcr accepted the position wiucu lie una ueid lor two years. kTTE SHOWED me a statue of his modeling which I remembered quite distinctly. This was the bust of Lon Chnney used in "The Penalty." Claire Adams, ns tho heroine, wns supposed to model it before jour eyes, with Mr. Chancy ns her sitter. They managed this by covering the com pleted statue with clay and then hnving her remove it gradually as the picture progressed. Mr. Schrclber models the original copy and the workmen, of whom there nre live working night nnd day during a busy time, cast from its mold. Be tween ruh jobs, the number of work men Is reduced to two. nnd their time is occupied with making pieces for which there is general need. The Mud Shop is never Idle, nnd studio officials say that the money ex pended in keeping it up is more thnn repaid by the efficiency of Mr. Sclirel ber's management, und the historical and artistic accuracy of his reproduc tions. Itojnlty In becoming very Interested In motion picture, according to Kvc I'nwll, ho has just returned from London to tnke chnrgo of the Went Coast Miiario department for H-C Pic tures Corporation.

Miss Uoreland, to save Annette, writes the story of her own tragic love affair with Welles, intending to tend it to Annette so she may know the kind of man he is, Hhe tells how, white a pianist in a movie theatre in a IPofcrn Penn sytvania town, she met Welles when he made a "personal appearance" there, how he invited her to come to Vcic Yofk and said he would place her in the movies, how she came and the chilly reception which he gave her in the studio. Then, becoming inter' ested in her, he gets her a job in a small town stock company for the experience, promising to see her often. The manager insults her and she leaves, finally petting into pictures in New York. Here she works with Welles. He makes love to her, pro poses and she is deliriously happy until another woman reveals Welles' perfidy. Then she quits him and the company. Now Go On With the Story CHAPTER XXXI July 21st. Well, blank paper, must my poor pen trudge on? Yes, it must trudge on ! "Oh! Oh!" I gnvo n sigh that was hardly more thnn n breath. "My hus band! Oh!" I turned, reeling. I supported my nelf with the curtains. Then I looked (it Mr. Morcy for approval. "Hold It I" he cried. "Keep that ex pression if you can !" He was greatly excited. The studio where II ruled wns n little outside the city : a blessed relief from tho dust and noise, nnd over powering stonlneHS of the streets. 1 hnd no sooner entered it than I hud the feeling that I had come to bright ness, and business, and joy. There wns something clean and bis about the place, too. It hnd been especially built for the taking of pictures, and its main floor was under nn immense sloping glass roof thnt flooded the whole place with light. But better than all else was the homelike atmosphere; the sense of har mony that existed between the players nnd the directors, nnd even the stnge hands. I saw at once how different tho manners were ns compared with the X Studio. At tho fornjer there wns roughnctit) and vulgnrity, uunrrel Ing nnd bitterness. But here there vn, a certain comrndelincrs, n certnin peaceful quiet, a certain sense of enr nest work. The telephone girl sent me right in, without any delay, under the big glass roof. A number of "seta" were standing across the vast floor. The carpenters nnd pnintcrs nnd property-men nil seemed to be very busy. Hero nn.l there lounged groups of actors nud actresses, in their various costumes, icady to "go on." It was n bright and busy scene, full of animation and In terest. I felt on the instant thnt 1 had "come home." H wns sitting nt n little table before n set which represented the in- fterior of a telegraph office of n railway station. He wni giving swine direc tions to one of the property-men. lie was saying that he wanted real glass in the windows, in order that it might he shnttercd later on. I learned later thnt ue nlwnys gnvo the greatest atten tion to the most minute details. I never saw a man more nbsorhed in his work. I stood, unnoticed, at his side for Rome time, not caring to disturb him, grently Interested in wntchlng him, nnd noting his methods. At last he turned and saw me. lie looked a little wearied ; but he smiled "Oh, good-morning." he said plens antly, rising to shako hnnds. "I didn't know that you had come. "Monday morning!" ho went on with n sigh. "Evcrj thing nt itixcs nnd sevens, of course. But I'll see what there Is for ou. In the meantime, let me introduce jou to the others."
