great stars of the past, before the DAYS
or motion pictures, passed in time into
mere dim memory pictures in the minds
Of those OF the last generation who wit
messed them.
As MIR. James *. IIackett says, in his
comment on his own work in THE
Prisoner Of Zenda,' up to the present
tinle it ha, been impossible to perpetu-
ate the art of the player. The sculptor
has LETT his enduring touch on bronze
and marble; the painter on canvas; the
writer on the printed page but until the
marvel of the motion picture came, the
actors art has remained only a vague
impression Of inaccurate memory"
Now for the first time the visual
hall Of the actors art we hope may be
made 10 last say visual half because
the player can only appeal to two
senses, sight and hearing, and unfortu-
nately it is as yet impossible to synehro-
nize sight and sound"

FAMOUS PLAYERS
PRESERVE THE ART OF
GREAT DRAMATIC STARS
The Great Classic Dramas Of the Past and Present Will Soon
Be Placed Within the Means Of ALL

A practical ideslist is a person we
sometimes hear about but seldom sec.
In a recent interview with him recently
Mr.. Adolph Zukor, President of the
Famous Players, revealed himself as a
real type OF this rare person.
The thing that appeals most strongly
to him i'll his work of producing fam
GUS plays by famous players in motion
pictures, is that he is preserving for all
time the great achievements on the stage
OF actors and actresses whose names
alone might otherwise be the only me-
mcnto lett It's some day, just as the

Mr.. Zukor believes that the film is a
more eloquent and accurate medium for
interpreting great stories and great
dramas than the stage itself. "On the
latter" he says, much Of the story
must be omitted from the setting for the
sake of saving time; and, furthermore,
lot Of situations which are only de
scribed in the book can readily he shown
in rapid series of pictures.
"A succession Of pictures is the most
vivid description of train of thoughts.
The motion picture is, therefore, a con-
tinuous series of thought illustrations,

to utilize it as medium for stimulating
wider and deeper interest in the bet
ter element OF modern dramatic pro-
auctions and the more educational fca-
lures OF the contemporary stage
AS a matter OF fact, the motion pic
ture is destined to be an active agent
of improvement in standards all along
the line. Its success will more and
more depend upon its improvement
from literary, artistic and mechan-
ical standpoint than upon big adver-
Using, sensational features, exagge-
rated press notices and the thousand
other tactics used by theatre agencies
to attract the patronage Of the public
The motion picture has also done Won
derful work in exacting from the ac-
tors and actresses who perform before
the camera perfection of movement
and expression that the stage seldom
expects except from its great stars.
Paint and powder. tricks of voice and
movement, the glamour of light and
color and painted scenery help out on
the regular stage when the perform
ers themselves fall short in their art.
But on the screen these artificial
agents play no part whatever. The
performers must have expressed them
selves in their different roles before
the camera with perfect simplicity and
grace of movement, without the least
eXaggcration, awkwardness or crudity,
otherwise the picture will show them up
to rldiCulc or contempt.
Among the reasons given by Mr..
lrohman why Shakespearean plays and
the other great classics have failed to
draw on the stage were, inadequate in
Iterpretation,' and 'unauthoritative artists. ;
These obstacles will no longer exist when
tie FAMOUS Players nave accomplished

mas Of the past"

In some respects it is, but in others
it is easier. 1t is certainly easier than

play a matinee every day and show at

time to study out of that, and what is
as equally as important in stock, ar

A BIG WARDROBE is ESSENTIAL
"On the other hand, lin picture acting
one usually commences at 9 o'clock in
the morning. and with an interval for
lunch, one is through about $50 OF
course, there is still the same trouble
about clothes. for these have all to be
thought out and arranged so, as not to
clash in the evenings.
