LONDON, Oct. l6.-While there is no
official information obtainable here re-
garding the situation in Belgium, 1t IS
generally accepted that the Germans
have occupied Ostend. When the last
boat left there early yesterday, the
advance guard of the Uhlans was al
ready in sight. Communication has been
entirely interrupted, which would indi-
cate that the Germans are in the coast
city.
Meanwhile il is reported here that

Advocate of
The Film

David Belasco believes that the

elop into a wonderful art.
Mr.. Belasco's views on the film
drama are of great value for two
reasons: he Is one of the greatest
heatrical producers and he is one
Z the few great producers who
seem to be always able to guess the
public's wants. Mr.. Belasco at
one time doubted the future of the
film. He could not see its possibili-
Ties. He was forced to make study
o. it because he found IL was hav-
ng a tremendous influence on the
amusement seeking public. He
wanted to know why. He found out,
and as result he has given all his
plays over 10 the film.
Just what he thinks of the pictures
and of the field they have he has
iold for the first time to W. Stephen
Bush, the Moving Picture World eX-
pert, who has incorporated the con-
versation in an interesting article
for his magazine. The ideals of Mr..
Belasco are interesting to the gen.

cause they are the views of the
strical mana ger, but because they
are the ideas of David Belasco, who

ton must be paid aside from his

having gratified his sense of the

believe that in the near future we
will witness marvels of pictures
such as no one is dreaming of now.

ton of detail and the educational
