BENTON, MONT. Aug. 15.-What to

Blackfoot chief on his arrival in Glacier
National park, has been solved.
An old bear, hearing the walls Of the
cub, made her way last night into the

gnawed through the rope that tethered

~ ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.

~ ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.
The moving. picture theatre is said
to be largely responsible for the pres
ent theatrical situation.
Originally designed to appeal only
to a certain element. it has now pro-
crossed toward that degree OF perfec
ton in its present form which attracts
regular tneatre-going people.
The decline of the gallery god is said
to be directly attributable to the vogue
of the moving picture play, since this
impecuniOus patron of the drama can
go five times to the latter whore he
could only buy an entrance into the
higher priced amusement house once.
In addition, tine moving-picture man.
ufacturers are becoming more discrim-
mating, not only through necessary
observance of certain laws now gov
Grning their production but because
of their more catholic patronage which
calls for something higher than the
bloody melOdrama which was formerly
the favorite story told through this
fascinating medium.
For the mOving-picture has all the
charm OF the pantomime play, with
the added interest of completer
emily, with a stage setting, and there
are more scenes to make up for the
explanatory dialogue of the staged
production.
The vast difference IN price, OF
course. is the chief incentive toward
attendance upon the moving-picture
theatre but. aside from that, there are
the other reasons named, and some,
more personal to boot.
The fact that the managers of films
are, more and more, evolving toward
genuine pantomime production of
plays by competent players, is also
significant.
In instance, here in Richmond a
few weeks ago, play by Dion Bouci
cault-a one-time prosperous, prolific
and popular playwright-was repro
duced with no less a person than
Chauncey Olcott in the title role.
And the legitimate actor, who for
merly looked with contempt upon the
moving-picture and all it's affiliations
and associations, is now flirting in
genuine earnest with it's managers.
To quote a writer from a recent
number of The Billboard"-a well
known theatrical magazine:
However, this does not altogether
embrace the conquest of Broadway.
My studio is situated only a short dis
! lance from that street, and every
morning the waiting room is a living
indication of Broadway's attitude
toward the filmed play. Among the
people applying for engagements are
some whose very names have always
brought them past the managers of.
flee boy. Not only do we have a selec-
ton OF people who have made good
beyond doubt. but We can get them
at figure for which they would never
accept Broadway contract. The rea-
but the conditions are a relief. Except
for only occasional instance, the AZ
fist has his evenings to himself. He
can settle permanently in the city,
and he is spared the wear and tear Of
road work, at its best: and that best
does not mean one-night stands, by
any means.
But there's another reason, and
that's perhaps the big one. When they
are engaged in the film studio their
salary begins with the first day they
step on the stage. Contrast this with
the weeks and weeks of rehearsal
