Edwin Arden Suggests Motion
Pictures as Finish
ing School.
BY Emory ID. Casvert.

NEW YORK. Nov 29.-The NOV
les as a finishing school for actors.
IS the suggestion which originates
with Edwin Arden, who is experience
ed in appearing both in the film and
in the flesh. He believes the stage
VIII be lifted to higher levels By the
training pIay-folk get in motion pic
ture art.
An actor on the speaking stage
may think he has reached perfec-
ton. says Mr. Arden. but when he
enters the motion pictures he dis
covers dozens of faults he never
dreamed ne possessed.
Moreover. seeing these faults in
the FINEST detail by watching his
own films and he is able 10 correct
them much faster than before the
era Of the motion picture camera.
Another interesting idea OF Mr.
Arden is that motion pictures re-
quire finer acting than the 'legiti-
mate" stage. lie says the eye of the
camera is much quicker and more
tAatAlAb IMAM the eye OF the SDttLa-
tors in a theater. The human voice
covers over many defects of pan
tomine and makeup and color effects
create sOftening delusions
The pictures are a merciless
teacher who records every gesture,
every movement, of the face or body
with merciless truthfulness.
The great tendency in acting is
to overact. not 10 underact." said
Mr.. Arden. The screen demands
"a more suppressed acting. a sublety
of facial expression and a poise
and control OF bodily movement
which is not so necessary on the
stage.
There is not any great funda-
mental difference in acting for the
stage and the motion pictures. There
is only a difference in temp and de-
gree. Quick and violent action
seems disjointed on the screen. Elk
aggerated facial expression seems
Tidiculous"

JOHN DREW IN "THE CHIEF"


our favOrite society actor, John
Drew, has VachelPs polite comedy.
The Chief" which opened at the
Empire Theater Monday evening.
Although Mr.. Drew is at his best.
Mr.. Vachell has not produced a play
which stirs the blood or causes the
auditor to think a bit more deeply
than usual 1t is about as heavy as
consomme.
But any play in which Mr. Drew
appears must be brilliant. This one
deals with the mature but still en-
gaging Earl OF Yester. an amiabIe
Britisher whose life is dead and
whose house is being managed for
him by his artful sister-in-law and
her mother. The play hinges on the
mothers attempt to manage the Lord
as well.
Before his marriage with his lost
Alicia. the Earl had been in love
with a certain Cynthia. Alicia =
mother. had. however. nipped his at
that Cynthia was bethrOthed to a
worthless fellow. since deceased
named George Vansittart
into the country mousse or ester
comes his youthful ward. Daphne
Kenyon. and the now widowed Gym
thia. who is seeking a position as n
secretary. on seeing his old fame.
Yester falls over head and heels in
love with her again and soon prCpos-
es.
Meanwhile he has been very much
embarrassed by the idea that little
Daphne has taken a fond fancy to
him. In point OF fact she is deep
~ in love with Yester's penniless
retiring secretary. Derck Waring.
The simple plot is tangled for a
time BY a transparent side issue
meant TO convict Cynthia Vansittart
OF once having stolen a bank note
from Yester. In the end. of course,
the Earl wins Cynthia and the de-
signing relatives by marriage are
fOiled.
In this play Mr.. Drew is the we'll
bred. gOod-natured we'll dressed man
which he presents so well. Miss
Consuelo Bailey was attractive in
the part OF Daphne Kenyon. the
Earl's ward and Miss Laura Crews
was an acceptable Cynthia.

MANY SUCCESSFUL REVIEWS.

Perhaps the success of "Trilby'

the managers their cue. Perhaps
it's because the war is cutting down
