place by the side of the spoken play is
brought more forcibly to our attention
daily. During this seasons engagement
of George Klein's production of "Quo
Vadis" at the Columbia Theater, hun
dreds of people were turned away be-
cause the capacity of the house was not
sufficient to accommodate the crowds,
with the result that Manager Berger Sc
cured a. return of the film, when the the
alter was again taxed to its capacity for
the second showing of the pictures.
Again, this week, the Columbia will
house a Klein photodrama, this time a
dramatization of Lord Lytton's famous
novel, 1.-THE Last Days of Pompeii," and
next week the Belasco Theater will show
the remarkable film. Traffic in Souls"
which has been creating furore in New
York for the past few weeks.
The notably large patronage OF the
photoplay does not necessarily point TO
a diminished interest in the spoken
drama so much as to the appreciation Of
the public of being able to witness the
graphic presentation of a story on the
screen at prices which more nearly fit
the average pocketbook than does the 81
production. Theatrical managers have
made strong protest against the photo
dramas because of their undeniable eff

has not affected the increasing apprecia-
ton of the public of the perfection which
has been achieved in presenting tremen-
dous subjects in a tremendous manner
upon the screen at nominal prices.
It is absurd to predict that the
movies will ever be able to take the
place of the spoken drama in the interest
and affections of the public, because a
picture can never hold the same magnetic
charm as the original play, nor can a
silent figure ever command the same
sympathy as the spoken voice, but the
pictorial presentation of a story can,
and does. fill a niche which before the
advent of the movies was left void.
An insufficient number of acceptable
productions to fill even the leading the
aters of the country. as well as the surety
of patronage for a big picture play.
are tremendous factors in inducing even
such magnates as David Belasco in open
ing to pictures the doors of theaters
hitherto devoted entirely to the spoken
drama. A notable example of this is he

marking the first time that a photoplay

Little Water on the Side"

Announcement is made of the engage
ment at the National Theater next week
of William Collier, who returns this sea-
son in a new comedy by himself and
Grant Stewart, entitled "A Little Water
on the Side" There is no comedian pre-
cisely like william Collier. His methods
are peculiarly his own. His humor has
always been spontaneous and clean and
always free from coarseness.
In "a Little Water on the Side" Mr..
Collier has been supplied with a role
come to be known as Thoroughly Col
lieresque." He plays a young American
blessed with the American sense Of hui
NOR who finds himself. after a career of
irresponsible good living called upon to
come to the rescue of the falling family
fortune. He does so with a method
combining high finance" and love as un-
usual as ii is funny. He caps the climax
by falling III love with the pretty daugb-
ter of the very man to whom his family
owe their misfortunes. His solution of
the difficulty is excruciating. and to re-
late ii here would be to mar the hearer's
first appreciation of its humor.
Charles Frohman has surrounded Mr..
Collier with a supporting cast, including
Paula Mari. William Collier. IT., Jessie
Glendenning, Hazel Section Beatrice
James. Eleanor Goodspeed, Grant Stew
art, Charles Dow Clark. Henry Weaver.
Nicholas Judel. John Adam, Edward
Moore, William Ward. and James shee-
