These tables agree with those OF other
factories in giving higher output for
the second hour than for the first. this
being due to the facility which comes
with practice.
But the chief point which they drive
home. when studied in connection with
the number of accidents is that after
the second hour Of continuous effort both
morning and afternoon, there is con-
tinuous and marked decrease in the out
put and a corresponding increase In the
frequency OF accidents. The factory
owner who wants TO get the most out OF
his employees will break up their work
day by frequent periods Of rest.
In this investigation it was impos-
sible TO record the cumulative effects OF
fatigue from day to day. and from week

physiological products OF fatigue cannot
be got rid Of In Il working day. This
means a growing predisposition to dis

PHOTOPLAYS AND

Possibilities Of Fill m

Says Critic
BY GARDNER MACK.

A number of those estimable men
and women who have failed to grasp
the possibilities of the motion picture
as an adjunct to the drama and a
stimulus to study of the best
there is in art and literature among
the people not usually given to such
study. have severely criticised the
attempt to show what might he done
with Shakespeare by the ccnsors.
They declare, with great reason. that
the eliminations that were made
from the Shakespearean plays as
shown in The Times several days
ago, would never have been made
by an intelligent person: that the
same rigid applications of rules
would not be applied to the dlsrup-
ton of great work Of art like most
OF the Shakespearean plays. They
say further that the production of
Shakespearean plays in motion pic
ture would he far different from
anything Shakespeare intended.
Walter Pritchard Eaton. the dis
tnguished critic of the drama. and
equally distinguished enemy of mo-
tion pictures. called attention i'm a
recent article, to the fact that when
really great literary works of
dramatic value were turned over to
motion picture directors for produc-
ton they selected some detail of the
plot or of the setting to be empha-
sized or to form the big feature Of
the film which, in a majority OF
cases. had no bearing upon the idea
which served as the basis of the
Ciginal masterpiece.
Mr.. Eaton and the other critics are
esolutely right-so far as they 60.
ut they stop just short Of the
aetuality in motion pictures. In the
matter of cehSoring Shakespeare 1t is
true no intelligent person would ap-
ply the rules as the:' were applied
In the humorous collection Of possi-

average board of censors, employs in
tellisences that can be hired at from
5000 to $500 per year to do this
work. and It is hardly possible that
this sort of an intelligence is within
the definition tho critics of the article
would use as that of an intelligent
man.
Mr.. Eaton's criticism goes to the
heart of the trouble with the motion
picture producing field at the pres
ont time. What is being done now
Is such a vast improvement over
what has been done in the past
that the average enthusiast for the
films almost forgets what there is
