NEELY Ffww Declare Photoplay Standards Have Fallen TEIAT little nrticlc, printed here some time ngo, teems: to bnc ntnrtrd quite n dlfieussion ninoiiR the font. We nsked jou. you mny remember, why you are not going to the movies in often ns you used to ro. We referred to the number of photoplay houses which ltnvc been closed this Hummer because of lack of busi ness, nnd wo said that producers and managers were puzzled a to Just what the cause of this falling off In nttenduuee was. A great many letter hnve come to thU office In reply to the question. There hare been varied reasons given, but now that we hne hud n chance to examine the letters carefully, it seems evldnt that there is a Rencrnl opinion that the photoplays themselves ore to blame tlmt the stories arc not so good ns they once were, nnd that the fault lies In the production end and not. ns the pro ducers thought, In economic conditions or In nbnormnllj hot weather. There nrc some of these letters which give n very keen estimate of the sltua. tlon. Here Is (trace R. Tumey, of oS-lIJ Windsor place, who puts her finger on a oro spot that many of us have been conscious of. She writes: "We are staying uwny from the movies because we don't like the way the plota of well-known books nnd short stories arc changed when they are screened. We read one and then wo ro to see It In the movies, to And It changed beyond recognition. We come away disgusted and disappointed. "We nren't unreasonable. We nrc willing to allow for changes In ndaptlng Borne particular stories for screen presentation, but why do they have to ehnnge very widely read story nnd popular novel when they screen It? Some Saturday Evening 1'ost stories nre especially suited to the movies, having an unusual amount of action, speed nnd human Interest, and et. when we see them, often the most Important Incident, chnracter, or even the plot Itself hns been altered always for the worse. "This habit of tampering with the story and mnklng a flat, stupid botch of It has spoiled movie going for us. Wc wait weeks in hopeful anticipation before we go to see a photoplay we know and then we leave the theatre mad at what kas been handed to us Ju place of our pet storj." 'THERE'S a fbntc lot of good common sense in that letter, I've felt just like that many a time irhen I hnve leen lured into a nioeir by an "adaptation" of a story liked. And, nine times out of ten, when the pfof has reached a port' that I iron particularly fond of, I have found it either wholly m. sains or changed so vitally that it has wholly disgusted me. Producers claim that tho stories, as written, are not good screen material. If that is true, then they shouldn't he used at all under their original names The use of the original name entices the lover of the story into the theatre to see that story and he sees its murder instead, TFIRHE'S another keen letter from F. W. N, who asks us not to print hi full name. He writes: "The writer has been a movie fan since the early days when Griffith pro duced the two-reelers. which made Mary IMckford, Illnnrhe Sweet and Mne Marsh famous, nnd when we had Mack Sennett himself playing in company with Fatty Arbuckle. Mnbel Normnnd and Charlie Chaplin. "(rent improvements have been made in the business since then. We have Been OJrlffith develop into a master producer, nnd have enjoyed even moie the masterpieces of Cecil R. DeMlllc. "Within the last year, however, pictures have token n slump. The star system is. partly to blame. As soon an an nctor. or actress, wins n little popularity, the producers 'star' them with n company of their own and that company, alas. Is filled with punk artists. Two-third of our so-called stars of the screen arc failures as stars, whereas they would bo first-class leading men or women. "Tom Melghnn, under the direction of Cecil B. DeMille, was wonderful. Recollections of his work in 'Male nnd Female' nnd 'Don't Change Your Wife' are among the plcasantest we hac of the screen, but Tom Melghan ns a star, unsupported by clever little (ilorlu Sunn-on and without that master director, Cecil DeMllle, Is not satisfying. "When we come to considering the women stars, gallantry forbids that we ahould speak too plainly Sufficient to say that most of them arc merely pretty dolls, and like all pretty dolls, have a minimum of brains. 1'nder a master direc tor they nre n joy to behold, but when they become stars, with directors who tall to direct, their acting descends to the realm of mediocrity. "The great need of the movlng-plcture business is for more good directors and more able scenario writers. "It is an outrage to ask more than twenty-five cents admission for nine out of ten of the screen productions which have been shown In Philadelphia this year. Tho public was complaisant durinc tho war when wnees were hlph. hut nnw. 1 when money Is scarce, it has to look to every dime. "Personally, I am always willing to pay good prices for n good picture. I am ready to pay SI or $2 a seat for a production like 'Deception' or 'Way Down East.' Hut I object to paying thirty, forty, fifty or seventy-five cents for the second and third class productions featuring our Wnliv Ileitis, May Alllr-uus, Bert I.ytells, Dorothy Daltons. Fatty Arbuckles, et al." ' J WISH I had space to print the letter written by Dw.ight Garrison, of 1010 Clinton street. He toices the general complaint nqainst the quality of the stories we are getting, but his criticism is constructive and he gives a shrewd and carefully considered analysis of the present output of the studios. OUMMINO up his conclusions, ho says: "The life depleted on the motion- picture stage Is unreal. Its charocters too ofen are absurdly mechanical. The scenario master", perhaps, nre prone to consider themselves well versed In the ways and menns of you nnd me but somehow they fail in depicting us. "When they make no apologies for public mentality In Its supposed depravity, when they mirror the moves, motives and mannerisms of you nnd the Other fellow on the slher screen they will fill their boxofficis." He draws three conclusions : First. The iiiotinrujiicture is no longer a noveltj whlrli can appeal to the public merely as a novelty. Second. Stardom has pnsel its dividend. ."o longer can the personalis of an Individual, good urtlng alone or the advertised charms of a person make tin lor defects in the vehicle. Third. The story plot must be real, not nffected. The mirror must be held up to nature, but nothing else except in the realm of a Harrie fantasy can be nttemptcd. JT SEEMS to me that this group of letters conies oretty near to summing up the actual situation. The defects complained of are very real ones and they must be corrected before the fans will be satisfied. i i ' MH T rrlS-.! i ' NO DANGER OF GETTING SHIPWRECKED HERE nrnrt'QTwTrcinTMniMirrmTT'"- 'r'WTiniattTTnriMMnTir m the i IslMiPfiSBKiB'fc: illlrBSMyiaBk-i JShIshcOwOT i mmMmmm&ywwJ,tm. hnwmmaimm The LOVE STORY MOVIEaSTAR I WHAT DID YOU DO I FOR PLEASURE BEFORE MOVIES?

Any way you look at it. though, the screen Is fascinating; today wc are in tears ami tomorrow we arc In slapstick ; there Is variety and to spare In the great cinema game. Shakespeare was undoubtedly right in his time when he made the well known remarkable remark that all the world's a stage, but the observation doesn't hold nearly so true today as the fnct thnt all the world's a screen and men nnd women merely fans or stars! Last week I received u charming letter from old Japan net week I expect one from Man, tho following wfck one from Hindustan it Is the strange fact thnt you never can tell just wheie jou nrc going to make n great Impression. SOMETIMES I go to see myself on i the screen and Hftcn to what people say nbout me. I give you my word thnt it is frequently an education '. I learn that I pbicd In plays nnd pictures that I never heard about before; and some times I have n burning desire to tell people thnt they ore confusing me with people who nre hopelessly m betters or mv Inferiors, too. There are times, when ou listen to people talking nbout jou. when jou feel like ndmltting that the world s nil wrong, nnd there are other times when ou feel like the Queen of Sheba in all her glory. I might point out that being n film actress has also this ad vnntnge over being a legitimate plajcr vou can go and see yourself although I "suppose It nil depends on the point of uew, whether that is nn advantage or n misfortune !

So you are an ardent admirer of Elaine Hammorstein? Elaine was on the stage before she entered the films plniiu in "The Trim" nnd "High Jinks."

I' rank Mayo has finished "The Reverend Meddler," nnd will do "Dr. Jim," n ten story. It is interesting to know that it was written by Stuart Pnton, Priscllla Dean's director.

I think I remember tending it in The Saturday Evening Post. King Raggot will again direct Miss Prevost. Tho mynterj surrounding Claire Windsor's disappearance has been solved. Sho was lost from Tuesday afternoon until Wednesday night, and hundreds of people scoured' tho canjons nbout Hollywood looking for her. The story ns revealed is this: her horse wns frightened, reared and Miss Windsor leu on. Mhe hit tho back of her head and becamo unconscious. Tho rhlcrlesH horso wns found, but no Claire. She wandered about tho hills, nnd snys she doesn't remember uny thing until she woko up In the hospital. Sho Is weak from lack of food and ex haustion, nnd her head aches fmm the bump, but otherwise she Is nil right. Universal is about to begin an eigh-teen-chnptcr seriul culled "Winners of tho West." by Ford Reebe. Art Aeord will be the hero. The story follows tho romatic trail WITH my mind nwakened nnd nlcrt, owing to the help thnt II had already given me by his mnny little hints nnd suggestions, I begon to note, for tho first time in my life, little, subtle, delicate things which hitherto had escaped me entirely. I realized how raw nnd crudo nil my efforts had been. With sincere humility, I ac knowledged to myself that I would have to begin all over ngain, unlearning much that I had nlroady learned, If ever I was going to make anything of nn nctrcss out of myself. An n proof that this state of mind was genuine, I will add that I never once doubted that it could be done. I had too truo n belief in my own gift to permit of thinking nnd feeling other wise. II nnd I used laughingly to al lude to my constnnt round of theatre going ns my "Night School." I cnu only hopo that other scholars at their night schools nre able to derive as much inspiration from their studies as I did from mine. All my work nt the studio and I nm not unmindful of II ' many vnluablo hints, nor ungrateful for the constant help he wns nblo to give me nil my hnrd rending could not have taught me the great lessons tbnt I learned from watching the noting of real artists. , , , , If I were nsltcd to sny winch one of the actors I saw taught mo the most, I would find it Impossible to nnswer the question. From Grace George and John Drew I first learned how polite comedy should reallv be played. From Julln Marlowe I learned how Shakespeare should be read. Mrs. Flske and Mans field nlso taught me much. But the two nrtists who made mo rcollzo most com pletely what a tyro I really was were, strangely enough, two, no word of whoso language was I able to under stand, namely, Sarnh Rernhordt mid the Itnlinn nctor, Novclll. When I think how nenrly I came to not seeing cither of these great artist, 1 positively shudder! Again. 1 am in debted to II for not having missed lil M-nmlrrfnl nnnarttlltltV. Novell! wns to me quite unknown. Rut who has not heard of Sarah Bernhardt? I felt nn Interest, perhaps It would be nm nrwirnto to sav a curiosity, to seo her. of course. But the thought that I would be so handicapped by my ignorance of the French tongue had kept me from going. I felt thnt. In the clr rnmKfnnprH. she could teach me little. and I sternly resolved not to yield to tho temptation to gratify what was, after all, more of curiosity to sec thb ivmnnn. than a desire to see the artist. During luncheon hour, ono of the dnys when I wns busy nt the studio, II said to me : "I suppose, now thnt the great Frenchwoman is here, you have entirely abandoned the native drama?" "Oh. no," I sold. "What's the use? I wouldn't understand a blessed word that sho was saying." He iravo one of his queer smiles, which I had come to know masked a hidden meaning. "Some ono once said that Sarah Bernhardt would he able to act as long ns she still had the use of her nrms. I think I'd go to seo her once, If 1 were you. I'm suro you'd not re gret it." "If you say so," I smiled back. The very next evening found me in the front row of the dress circle. It would be futile for me to try to tell you what impressions I carried home with me. To sny that I was completely swept off my feet, is to put it mildly. I hnd a sense of complete bewilderment. I felt thnt I had never seen acting bo fore. Her grncc, her chnrm, her won derful voice! I hnd heard and read of them and of the magic of her per sonality. But nothing I had read had prepared me for the reality. I confess that it was onlj after I had seen her a number of times that I was able, lu n .onse, to judge of her as an actress; that is to sny. I was so carried nwnj by her wonderful nrt that I forgot to siudy how she made her points, pro duced her effects. What would I not give to have seen her in the heyday of her youth and beauty ! That thought often came to my mind. Still. I am not at all certain that tho serious student cannot learn more now from untitling Mine.
