Ingenuity of Player Is Taxed to
Provide Suitable Theme for
Screen Pictures.

THERE is an excellent opportunity
in the movies for a new de-
,parture which has been grasped
only partially by producers.
II lies in the question Of music dur
ing the show and between the: reels
Music in the scent shows was begun
first for the entertainments of. the audi
ence while the. reels were being changed.
Gradually 1t came to be played while
the reel was being shown. Even In the
legitimate drama. the orchestra often
plays during emotional parts. when the
heroine is dying. or while the prodigal
son is telling his story to his father, or
when the embezzler, as in "Brewster's
Millions" confesses and bids farewell
to his friends. ..
Music was always played in the
movies at these emotional moments
and gradually, as certain tempestuous
assaults upon the piano heightened the
feeling of euiminative suspense in the
picture. it grew to be the proper thing
for the theme of the music to- follow
closely the thread OF romance or tragedy
in the stofy.'lg. 80 s---T

For The Times Children.
Just-Before It's Bedtime
BENNIE'S VACATION.

| ~ ENNIE was a little newsboy. Part
X of the time he went to school,
but most of the time he tried to
earn money to help his grand
mother support the family, which con-
sisted of the grandmother, Bennie, and
his little sister, Bertha.
One morning he met one of the boys
in his neighborhood with a box under
his arm and a happy look on his face.
Hello, BennIe!" he said; I'm going to
the beach for the day. That is the way
1 am spending my vacation. You ought
to go. It's great, going in the ocean
and letting the big waves wash over
you"
Poor Bennie, He had never had a
vacation in his life. and how he did
long to go with the boy. but he had no
money. and now that his grandmother
was sick he had to work harder than
ever to keep the family in the little
room where they lived.
But Bennie thought of the boy and his
vacation all day. and when he was go
ing home that night he went through
a park where he knew there was a
fountain just to hear the sound of 1t as
II fell into the basin.
wish | could put my feet in there"
he said, looking around to see II a po-
iceman was in sight. There was none,
and Bennie dipped the toes of one foot
in: then he tried the other. 1t felt so
nice and cool he wondered how IL felt
when you went in all over. e.
He took another look, and still there
was no policeman. and Bennie plunged
over the side Of the basin and into the
cool depths of the fountain.
1t did not matter to him that his
clothes were wet: they had been wet
many times and dried on him. so he
splashed, thinking that the ocean could
not be better than the fountain or any
cooler
But Just as he was scrambling out a
policeman came around the turn and
saw him. What are you doing there.
you scamp" called out the officer.
THE station house for you, my lad
What you kids don't think of amt
worth a thought"
BY this time he had poor trembling
Bennie by the collar and was walking
him toward the station.
Il didn't hurt nothing" pleaded Ben
ME, ready to cry. 81 wanted to go in
bathing and l was only in a minute.
Don't take me to the lookup, please.
My grandmother is sick. and there is no
one to take care of her and Bertha"
why don't you go to the beach
where the water is free" asked the
officer, moved a little by Bennie's
pleading eyes and voice.
II can't go" answered Bennie.
Granny is sick and have to work all
the time. never had a vacation like
the other boys and I wanted to go in
bathing just once"
You are all wet" said the officer.

dripping clothes. where do you live |
