NEW STUDIO PLANNED.
The largest studio In the United States
built for rental purposes is to be erected
in Elmsford, Westchester County, New
York. Fpederick Upham Adams, the
author Is, the originator of the plans for
these studios, which will be known as the
| AdamS Photoplay Studios.
The, plans. prepared by Mr. Adams ar
| chitects and landscape experts, are com.
prefensve and most attractive. Thirty
fivfs acres of land will be converted intN
scenic park, hanked on the east by tn /
Sawmill River. A large artificial lake wi
be eXcavated and fashioned to make cas-
all sorts of scenes In which body o
water plays a part. There will also b
provided tennis courts. golf links. gar.
| dens etc, and full advantage will b.
taken OF every acre of this large tract,
The completed studio building viii COM
tain stage space for 20 operating COM
panies, and every convenience which halt
a million dollars can provide will be
placed at the command of the patrons OF
these studios. The main building is 194
feet square. but better idea of the size
Of the Adams photo studios can be OBJ
tanned from the statement that II the
various wings were Joined they would
make a glass-roofed structure go feet ]
long by 81 feet wide.
THE QUESTION OF MUSIC.
There is still one part Of the photo
play industry which has not progressed
with the times. and that is the musical
end. This part of the program, especially
in the smaller theatres, has been sadly
neglected OF course all OF them have
some form of music for the pictures, but
the selections show no thought on the
part of the manager. As member ct
the Professional Women's League said
the other day:
Suppose we take a scene touching
upon war. and when body OF Allies Il
shown marching to battle the orchestra
or pianist plays 'Tipperary'-can you
imagine the inspiration given the
audience? 1 do not say that special
music should be written for each new
subject. Old-time music will, in many
cases, catch and please the audience
more than modern selections. My conten-
tion is that Down Upon the Suwane0
River will not give to a play dealing
with foreign situations the Same tone
that some particular foreign selection viii J
give. All must be in harmony, not ex-
cepting the instruments providing the Sc
lections / predict that musical depart
ments will. eventually, and at no distant
date become one of the most important !
OF the better class OF photoplay producing
companies. 1 have talked with some of
the older producers concerning this mat f
ter, and they have stated that the ides
is not new one; that for several yearS /
some companies have suggested to ex-s
hibitors musical selections appropriate-
| to certain scenes, but most exhibitors
have been negative in the matter. Many
of them have taken the view that the
| suggestions were made in the interest or
music publishers. The real obstacle to
progress in this direction has beCI that
| the matter has not been properly pre-
sented TO the exhibitors. When 1t is they
will lay in a supply OF music, and when
they are shown that one sheet of music
| is not appropriate for the entire sub
ject, but that the accompaniment muM
come from a variety of selections and al
! specific times. they will begin TO get in,
! terested"
