Ince Tells What He
Thin ks Are the
Greatest Needs
Of the Film

There is probably no topic that has
been given a wider or more gener-
al discussion among the patrons Of
the photoplay than the one which
has to do with the needs of their IA
yurite form of amusement. What Is
il that the screen drama needs to
put it or the highest plane-to make
IL a. great as IL deserves TO be?
There have been numerous answers
to this question. Every one who has
acted in a picture play. every one
who has written picture play,
every one who has acted I'm a pic
tIre play. and every one who has
produced a picture play-each of
these has his own notion OF exactly
what the pictures need. And each
Of these has totally different view.
The fact is that the pictures need
a great deal. They are getting
deal more. They ueserve great
deal more. The public which has
patronized them 10 greater extent
than il has patronizCd any other one
thing offered for its comfort or
amusement. has had very little recog-
milton from the big producers. 1t rs
