NEELT Muurlui writes: "Yeu can argue yourself nutty ever the abstract values of geed and bnd In the movies and ward the palm te the most able chin musician, who, In nine cases out of ten, will net believe what he proves. But there is no doubting the influence of geed music in connection with a moving picture show. It Is impossible for me te reproduce the emotion, the fine, rap turous feeling which the right kind of D.u.ic will generate in the average moWc-Reer. One has n similar feeling when he enters n large room with heavy tnpehtrles, deep carpets, Orien tal perfumcJind shnded lnmps that cast long shadows en the wnlls. "Fortunately for our great esthetic development and the raising of movie music te the highest nrtistlc, standard, several men have realized the high po pe tentlul effect uf geed music and they have given us n splendid orchestra. But all movies cannot have an orchestra. They de, however, have an organ, which many use merely as n means of furnishing the noise their patrons ex pect with their pictures. Apparently the managers of these places iclvc little or no thought nt all te the selection of Incidental music. Son.e of them Reem te think it mnkes no difference what kind of music they bcrve their patrons. What I wish te affirm is that the case with which the average audience can be imposed upon in this respect is net te be taken as an indication of their in ability te recognize and appreciate geed music. "I don't suppose we really ought te blame the managers. Ne doubt they mean well and that's damning them with mighty faint praise. They seem te think thet because the people de net rise up and demand geed music it is net necessary te furnish It. "It is net at all Improbable that pro ducers of geed pictures will distribute with their filu.s a musical program best suited te the pictures. It is also very likely that managers will take borne means of informing their patrons what the organist or orchestm is playing and thus make it unnecessary for per 10ns in the audience te aBk : 'I wonder what the name of that plece is?' "Devotees of the cinema should de mand that some progress be made along these lines. But the progress should net be se great that the general public Is unable te keep up with It. Seme time age there was a great deal of talk In the newspapers of hew we were te be raised te some higher plane upon which there would be no lure of the muMc of bound. Beautiful colors were te take the plucc of beautiful melodies. They were te take the place of the l'iane, violin and orchestra. Fortu nately for musicians and n.uelc publish ers, and perhaps for the rcbt of the world, a great deal of raising is still found necessary. "We are all emotional te some ex tent, even though we don't like te con fess it. And when the picture calls for tears it Is nlwns the music that decides whether we shnll blew our nose violently or laugh. When out with the Knows we will scornfully lnugh down all show of bentlment, but tucked nway In the privacy of our own subcon scious souls, in the darkness of a movie, wuslc will bring a profound rapture, limitless and without farm, and we shan't be far from a geed deed or a kind thought. "Therefore, If you like geed music, why don't you tell the movie manager about it?" (I hope somebody else seconds or adds te the thoughts expressed by Mazurka. There arc all kinds of possibilities in the bubject, nnd yet I don't believe I've bad three letters Bince the Letter Bex marten along these lines.) tuseness that I probably would net no tice It. I am net, you understand, ar guing for license. Observe detail; by no means neglect it, but don't make a totem, se te apeak, of it. "Accuracy of detail has nerer, I think, been a criterion of art. Yeu may say te me, the movies are net art, they de net pretend te be, they are simply entertainment. But they de pretend te be, with all their talk of unsurpassed scenery, etc.. ad in finitum, ad nauseam. And they have the possibilities of art in them. Just where these possibilities He I don't quite sec, but I am convinced they are there. Perhaps if the producers realized tnat besides Having a inrge range nt their command ther arc also limited, they would be better off. Well, back te the accuracy of detail. In the days of the, we are told, Incomparable Gar rick, Slddens, back even te Shake- speare's Burbage, the directors and actors of the time gave their plays without the aid of accurate costuming. l'Jvcn without accurate staging. A deer en the stage was only a deer, fre quently, by grace of being se called. Then enme Tem Bobcrtsen, and new we have Belosce. And de we any mere worship Bclasce? Emphatically, no! The cry is again for simplicity, detail sacrltlccd te effect. Why, if the merles in their passion for detail were con sistent, they would build complete houses for sets nnd net houses en sand with three walls. , A1 "Se I believe the movies are beating egnlnst a blind wall, something like the peer short-story writers who have fpl n. e TTnr nn hln narrow alley nnd have found no exit. Yet much ns u 1. mtalnit mv flpnlrft tn (mltote I'Olly annn, I think the movies will find their way out. The question is, Having euu cntcd their audiences te intolerance, will they be able te educate them back again?" (Yeu may net go often te the movies. but you've get some pretty clear ana decisive notions about them. I've met two kinds of realists the plain, gar den variety nnd the painful realists who have that flair you speak of for small details. They started out all right te get rid of Berne slushy romanticism and cress-eyed Idealism, but they over reached themselves nnd made their real ism minutely nnd painfully correct, till it rang with a metallic, mathemati cal hardness and lest all art whatso ever. The present school of stage real Ism is drifting away from that fault, nnd whntcver the demerits of the pres-ent-day impressionistic stage settings and plots, they have their advantages. Frencliy writes: "This is my second letter te you, and want te thank you for anwerlng my first. Can you tell me whnt became of Gladys Breckwell, also Alice Joyce? I used te enjoy their pictures. I see you keep the different fans guessing as te whether you are 'he' or 'she' New I think you are a middle-aged man nnd a proud father of a wonderful son I hare read about. Am I right? I think Sam Weed should go te England with Eliner Glyn and stay there. Between them they are ruining Gleria Swanson's chances of being a geed actress. I was disgusted with 'Beyond the Becks.' I love style, but think Miss Swanson is overdoing it. I hear that a movie beuse nearby is going te show 'Foolish Wives,' and I wouldn't miss It for the world after all the advertising it get In your column. "Is it true that Pel aNegrl Is coming te this country? Am longing te see her in another geed picture. Before I close I must tell you that I'm a great admirer of B. Valentine and I'm no 'flapper,' but old enough te knew better. I thought his best work was in 'The Shclk.' Can you tell me who played the part of Carrita in 'Fascination'? Thought him a very geed actor. De you agree with me, and what ether pic tures has be played in?" (Gladys Breckwell Is still In pic- is reported te be se completely wrapped up in domestic happiness that she does net csre te return te pictures, but I you nerer can tell. Keep en guessing about me if you want te, but don't expect me te say a wera. i-eia negn Is coming te tnis country sneruy w make a feature picture at the Lasky studio en Leng Island. Fer the twen tieth time, that was Rebert Fraser as Carrita in "Fascination." Yes, he was fine. I gave a complete list of his pictures the ether day.) Gtuck Jehn Davidsen was born In New Yerk,' but I'm sorry I cannot tell you of his descent. He does leek foreign, doesn't he? I'll try te find out if I can, shortly. Come ahead with your views and criticisms of acters: I'll premise you that you won't be exiled or interned. Fer a start, I'll print your rather unusual list of favor ites; Jehn Davidsen, Stuart Helmes, Montague Lere. Wallace Beery, Tela Negri, Rodelpn Valentine, Cenrad Veldt and Charles Gerard.
