LONG titles for motion pictures or
short titles? A controversy rnges
nmeiijt independent producer. Says
lluster Kenten :
"I gave mv (hive latest ceinedirK
ohert titles like 'The Plnylieuse.' 'The

i theatre owners wish, throughout the
'eitntry. titles which they enn get en
their electrically illuminated marquis

also getting nil of the Btnr's name into

make titles short and snappy."
Tt. A. 'Walsh is another believer in
short titles, for slmilnt- rea-ens-. Ills
Inst two plays were "The 0'ith' and

TP THE first mevlng-p cture project
ing mnqhincs hndn't been se ex
cessively noisy os te necessitate some,
6ert of tonal camouflage, modern devo
tees of the Mirer sheet might ucrcr
hare known the crowning attraction of
the "llent" drama ltd music.
Fer Hiere can be .little doubt that
pianos, electric and manual, were orlg erlg
inally installed In the dreary Ktere
Tihieh served as the theatres of ian
days te drown the grinding clatter of
tbeee primitive projectors.
It Is a far cry from the gum-chewinj
pianlBt of the bygone nickelodeon te the
concert eichcstra of the modern tncttirc
palace, but the miracle lias been
wrought within a period of fifteen or
sixteen years.
These old days, hew crude their
clumsy contrivances would new seem
te our cultivated eyes and ears! Any
passable pianist with a repciteire of a
dozen pieces and sufficient endurnnc
te btnnd the "grind" was considered
geed enough te play for the one-reel
thrillers and half-reel comedies of that
benighted period.
"Fitting the pictures" was then a
delightfully simple procedure. Fer th
dramas we were supposed te play a
waltz, for the comic we cheerfully ham
mered out a two-step. Hew much eas
ier it was then than new, when the
musical director is perpetually tearing
his hair because he. cunnnt think of a
piece which exnetly reflects the mood
of a certain filui episode.
OF COURSU, this blissful state of
affairs wns tee geed te last. Cer
tain adventurous spirits, in advance of
their age, began tnking the joy out e'
life by playing "Peny Bey" for west
erns. "The Rosary" for "heavy"
Vcenes, te say nothing of "Hearts and
Flowers" and the "Flower Seng."
Managers seen began te Insist thai
nil performers should b famili.il- with
these "standard" movie numbers, and
the less adaptable among us. feeliiiR
that tiie pace was becoming tee swift,
sighed for the geed old days in the
barber bhep and the ten-cent htere.
f Along nbeut this time the inaiiageiial
demand for "effectB" gave the lone ni-
nnist his first companion. This indi
vidual was nominally a drummer, but
his real mission In life was te make
the nir hideous with unearthly noises
which were supposed te correspond with
