Changes in Editorial Policy
Occasionally there will come a sudden
change of policy in one or more of the
editorial offices of motion picture manu-
featuring companies. Then II is that all
the other editors sit up and take notice
and endeavor TO ascertain just what the
other fellow is up to. Originality Is
at a premium in FINLAND. One company
will film a number of comedies along an
unusual line and others will Immediately
follow suit providing the new line of stun

hurlesque comedies of slap-stick persua-
sion, for example. When they first ap-
penred several years ago they melted the
laughter OF the motion-picture theatre
audiences Immediately there was Il
scramble on the part of other companies
TO go and do likewise. The result was
that there was an avalanche OF impossi-
BILE buffoonery released to Filmland's
markets. Some few motion-picture con-
GERMS notably the Selig Polyscope Com
pany avoided an overproduction of this
class of film comedy, but the others re-
leased the slap-stick stun in great guam
titles,
Last week one OF the Eastern film con-
cerns very prolific In this class of COM

and that they were going IN FOR higher

shift in policies. Other concerns are also
turning TO refined comedy, and II Will not
