PHOTOPLAYS

one OF the best indications Of the
healthy condition OF the motion picture
industry, and the general attitude Of
those engaged in it-that the days Of un-
derhand methods are passed-is seen in
the welcome absence Of fake war pic
lures.
Many extremely interesting Views are
shown each week on the various news
pictorials, but It Is seldom that any Of
these purport to show actual iightIng. 1t
Is a comparatively easy matter TO turn
out fake fighting scenes.
In fact, II can be done 90 we'll that were
ideals In the business as loose as they
were some years ago this would pc done
constantly.
The Aim industry is TO be congratulated
for this stand even more strongly In view
OF the actions of important newspapers.
Only a few days ago famous evening
paper In New York printed n photograph
of a Russian battleship which II reported
sunk II was shown Immediately after
ward that there was never any such
vessel in the Russian navy.
Photography Is destined to play an Inn
portant part In recording the history of
this great war, but thousands of spurious
pictures will have to be sorted from the
genuine. 1t s a credit to the motion
picture industry that Il has supplied few
or none OF these falsiied records.
WOODRUFF IN THE MOVIES.
The latest addition to the ranks OF the
special motion picture stars is Harry

Its cuminatlve point in a scene where
she was supposed to pick up the villain
and throw him over a cliff. In passing
through an adjoining studio. while on
the way to her dressing room, she mo-
ticed a chair, which, although inviting,
had peculiar look. Too tired to investi-

minutes relaxation. Placing her head

ried exit of her existence. Miss Gordon
had sat in an electrified chair used in
filming a scene in "The Nightmare" and
the electrician, thinking to play a Joke
on her, sent 25 volts through the wires
that connected the chair with the switch
board.
THE CAMERA DEFECTIVE.
Clarence Jay Elmer. OF the Lubin

roles in the Patsy Bolivar" series. says
the motion picture camera has 'em all
beaten when 1t comes TO doing detective
work. In one OF the series Patsy has an
adventure with pirates The pirates OBJ
tained for the occasion were villainous

play they capture Elmer. During the
struggle the pirates dropped out. When
the scene ended Elmer was able to find
few pennies on the ground but nothing
else, and not one Of the pirates knew
where the lest articles were.
Recently when the reel was shown in
the projecting room OF the big LubIn
establishment Elmer discovered what
had happened to his lost property One
OF the pirates was seen on the Aim TO

MUSIC

Happy, happy Haydn to have flourish
ed when music tHeavenIy maid) was
young and innocent OF the sophistica-
tion which nowadays Inspires such COM
positions as Darius Mlhaud's string
quartet Sunny classic and cloudy
modern, the one with the merit, the
other with the defect of his quality, they
stood side by side on the initial program
of the admirable Flonzaley Quartet's
local series.
The Metropolitan Opera House, afford
ing the social distinctions as we'll as
esthetic joys of opera, clearly enough
drew the major portion of the clty's
music lovers. for WitherspOon Hall was
anything but populous, or popular, with
its mere handful of those who rejoice in
the unspectacular but truly satisfying
pleasures of chamber music concert.
The audience In size was unworthy the
accomplished craftsmanship OF the Flon-
zaleys, but in attention and appreciation
compensated for numerical senderness,
barring a perfectly justifable puzZement
over the two movements from the Mil
haud Quartet. Additionally the pro-
gram contained Papa" Haydns G.
major quartet Top. II, No. 81, and
Tschaikowsky's e fat major quartet
COP. 800.
The Flonzaleys addressed themselves
with adroltness and resource to the
Milhaud work, but without much effect
In clarihcation of score that combines
the Sound wralths" of Debussy with
the shifting tonalities OF Schoenberg.
Out of the enveloplng mist of tone oc-
casionally n theme took on shape and
substance, but quickly evRded classifica-
tion.
Happy, happy Haydn, who did not
have TO listen to the young French
men," the callow Slavs, the fledgeling
Teutons!
But behind the vapors OF Milhaud the
sun OF Haydn was shining with a genial
warmth that sent the audience out all
aglow into the chill night. Here was
understandable music. music with con-
tour, and color and character; music
that stated its themes directly and de-
velOped them clearly; music not lacking
In naive complication, but lacking alto
gether In the esoteric, the inYolute, the
affected. And its classic confluence and
fine simplicitles were devotedly trans
lated into beautiful sound by the Flon-
zaleys. not merely with the mechanical
exactitude for which they are noted but
with a wealth of temperamental synpa-
thy.
BY similar means in the inherent and
more difficult held OF romantic music the
Flonzaleys conveyed the passionate
sonorities and tragic pensivenesS of the
TschaikOwsky TO the hearer, lmbued the
audience, indeed, for more than a feet
Ing moment with the abiding melancholy
OF the music master, who would. as in
this quartet. show his sorrowing soul by
inclusion OF two andantes OF funereal
content and who refused to let Joy trip
through the measures OF his scherzo.
Despite the prevalent dampness and its
effect on this resonance OF the strings, the
members OF the quartet won suave even
and integral tone from their instTu-
ments. while in nicely OF touch. precision
of attack and unanimity of ensemble
their work was virtually impeecable.
