PHOTOPLAYS AND
PHOTOPLAYERS
: Ru GARDNER MACK
Photoplays Develop
Nezp Technique Is
the Opinion Of
Miss Frederick
BY GARDNER MACK.

study OF the technique OF motion
picture acting Is recommended to q
number Of the stage stars who have
entered the motion picture field by
scne of their successful fellow ar
lists. The cause for the failure or
the stage star who is photograph
cally correct is not paying enough
attention to the requirement to be-
come photographically dramatic as
we'll. As has been stated hereto
fore and cannot be too strongly
emphasized, there are some types
that do not photograph, no matter
how we'll the persons may act. But
there are others that make excellent
pictures and these actors and ac;-
resses are urged to study the method
of making dramatic ability tell on
the screen.
Pauline Frederick, who is ap-
pearing at the Leader, today In
'Zasa." Is one of those who
believes thoroughly in photo-play
technique and in the realism
Of photoplays as an inspiration to
better acting. Miss Frederick be-
came well known on the stage before
she entered the photoplay field.
THE statement that there Is no
such thing as a technique of the
screen so far as the player is con-
cerned has been made so frequently
in my hearing that would like TO
take this opportunity to correct
it, Miss Frederick declares. There
is a screen technique which must be
mastered by every one. The actor
or actress who attempts to apply to
hAr
the same methods which were used
with success on the stage will como
to grief. Like the passing OF the
camel through the eye OF the pro-
verbal needle. 1t can't be done.
at would be almost impossible to
say Just what element was the decid-
ing factor In my choice between the
stage, which loved. and the screen.
which for long time failed to in
terest me, before my appearance in
The Eternal CITY, for the Famous
Players Film Company. Perhaps 1t
was the limitless possibilities af-
forded by the photoplay; perhaps it
more people in one day through 1t
than I could in a whole lifetime on
the stage. and that my work would
be immortalized for future genera
tions to compare with that Of players
Of their day.
Another great influence in favor
Of the photoplay Is my love Of real
ism. When The Eternal City was
produced on the stage. a clever scenic
artist painted backdrop which re-
sembled Rome as well as paint can
vas could. But when we turned the
play into a film. we packed our
trunks and hied us to Rome itself.
II am a sincere believer in the
nhotodramatic art and in the earnest
purto ose of all the producers Of Par
amount Pictures to make the best
pbotoplays possible and to show them
~ Rimission prices within the reach
oY fTe poor as we'll as the rich. thus
saE1u ting to the public the finest
n llterature, drama and music. and
J v7Ant to do my part in educating
the masses to a proper appreciation
oc the best in the theater." G. M.

UNDERTAKES ASKING
STRICT REGULATIONS
Plead to District Commissioners
for Approval Of Proposed
Rules.

Seeking the approval OF the Commits
sioners to the proposed legislation. a
committee of undertakers and embalm-
ers apeared before the board today to
explain the provisions OF a bill "to
regulate the practice OF undertaking and
embalming in the District OF Columbia
anu to safeguard the public health"
The bill provides for the appointment
by the Commissioners of a board OF five
licensed undertakerS and embalmers
who shall hold examinations OF appli-
cants for licenses as undertakers and
embalmers during the month of Sep
times as the members Of the board deem
necessary. All persons desiring to prac-
tice undertaking and embalming are re-
quired to apply TO the board for a
h02nse. the cost OF which Is $50.
The examing board Is authorized to
revoke any license II 1t Is found to have
been obtained by fraud or II held by
persons found to be addicted to such
habits as to render such course neces-
sary.
The bill provides that the examining
board shall organize annually by the
election OF a president secretary. and
treasurer. who shall hold office for
one year; The committee also urged
that the law governing the removal OF
body from one part of the District
to another be amended so as to save
the time now lost in the presentation
of the death certificate to the Health
Department, where such permits are
issued, 1t was suggested that the
Health officer be authorized to delegate
this authority to persons at the nos
pitfalls and police stations.

LEADER.

Pauline Frederick's Interpretation or
the mercurial 'Zaza' in the photoplay
which the Famous Players Company
has made of the BeIasco drama. to pe
seen today and tomorrow at the Lead
er, Is a bit broader than that given
on the stage by Mrs. Leslie Carter.
and in its broadness has an element
that the stage production did not pro-
vide. Miss Frederick gives a spirit
of youth to the part which relieves
some of the tense moments without in
the least detracting from their ORA
matte value.
Henry Arthur Jones drama, The
Masqueraders." adapted to photoplay
proportions, will be seen Wednesday
and Thursday with Hazel Dawn in the
role of the young girl who marrIes a
nobleman while a bar maid and is tnen
made the stake in a card game between
her husband and a former sweetheart.
Friday and Saturday Mary Pickford
will be seen in Rags" which Is re-
gaTded as one OF the most satisractory
vehicles yet provided by the Famous
Players Company for the display OF
the young picture stars personality.
