The dean of American producers

that Mr.. Bclasco has permitted his

Is evidence OF this.
or course. one of the reasons the
Belasco plays We're released for film

enough to create either a new idea
or a combination OF ideas embody-
ing an element of novelty has the
possibility of an added income not
heretofore within his reach.
In former days. after drama
had lived through its first useful
ness. 1t was continued for a number
OF years by stock companies. author
and original manager sharing In the
royalties turned in from this source
Now after drama has played
its original engagements. and even
after 1t has lived through its initial
period of stock company value, 1t
Is still possible to obtain from the
moving picture rights handsome
income never dreamed OF in the
past.
Il say that every mode Of drama
tic expression which increases the
value of the successful idea or fur
nishes a new medium for genius Is
valuable. From my point OF view,
the dramatic managers ought to
welcome the arrival of the motion
picture. and do everything possible
to make the future OF the moving
picture business artistically worth
