How Sturgeon Won Out as
Author of PhOtO-Plays

who is not raised in the atmosphere
OF the stage world can acquire the
acting or directing art. A pompous in
dividual recently told me that one was
not entirely fit without at least 20
years of experience. What his kind
really need is 80 per cent more intel
ligence and 19 years less experience.
The true director not only needs
intelligence, but he must sense his
stories and know when they ring true.
If not he must be able 70 detect the
false note. After that he must have
the creative skill to remedy the de
feet"
Then the success of the picture de
ponds largely upon the directors
was the query.
That is an awkward manner Of
dipping into the two subjects" was
the retort. What is lacking in mo-
ton pictures today is the lack of
scenarios with thought as their basis.
The future OF the screen play. TO my
notion, lies more with the author
than the director.
Il might add that do not believe
the motion picture is going TO improve
much except in proportion to the bet
ter grade OF material secured. II looks
as though the limit had been reached
until authors able TO write this class
of story are induced to take up the
work and. even then. the supply Of
plays of the higher plane will be lin
tied
Mr.. Sturgeon seemed 10 have the
right 70 dip into both subjects His

STATE CARE FOR
ALL The INSANE
County Boards Are Notified to
Transfer Patients to Meet
New Law.

Springfield, III, Jan. 22.-The state
board OF administration today issued
a proclamation under the terms OF
the law creating it, notifying the state
that it has made room in state hospi-
tails for all the legally committed in
sane in the state and that from the
date OF the proclamation the state be-
comes in fact the sole custodian of its
insane. The proclamation releases
the counties OF the state of all charge
and expense for the care Of the in
sane, an amount aggregating annually
several hundred thousand dollars
Heretofore the county has paid for the
clothing Of all INDECENT insane, sent TO
state hospitals. This expense is now
assumed by the state To offset this
loss OF revenue the state has passed
law which requires the estates or
the relatives Of insane to pay for the
cost of their maintenance in the state
hospital This law is now being put
into operation but so far has not pro-
duced as much revenue as the state
will lose
There are still left in the county
almshouses Of the state about 200 peo-
pie who are considered insane but
have never been legally committed
The board will at once notify the sew,
eral counties that they must take steps
10 commit all such inmates and have
them removed 70 state hospitals Most
Of these patients are old people who
have become demented since entering
the poor house and being harmless
have been permitted 70 remain. Al
the legally committed insane, includ
ing the 5000 in the Cook county hos
pital for insane. have all been taker
over by the state, The complete state
care act was passed in 1909 and fol
lowed the action taken by New Yorl
and Massachusetts. The care of the
insane by the state is nov being as
sumed by many other states through
out the country.
