SNOW PUTS BURDEN
ONCHARITY WORKERS
Storm Adds to Demands Re-
suItInS From Epidemic Of
Grip in Capital.

Adding to the heavy burden the cpl
dennis Of Grip has placed on charity
organizations OF the city. came today
the first calls from those who nave
suffered from the snow and sudden
cold. II IL too early, charity workers
say, TO estimate the effects of the
cold wave, because the results OF the
unemployment II causes will not ne
felt for several days or a week, until
the slim margin OF poorer families Is
exhausted by the period OF unempioy-
ment.
Walter s. Ufford. secretary or the
Associated Charities. said between o.,
and 600 families had been on the AS
ISOLATED Charities list during December
and It was expected by the middle or
January. IL the cold continues, there
win be a considerable increase in this
number. He explained that the results
OF a snowstorm are not immediate, so
far as charity work is concerned, pe-
cause the large number of famiiIes
already under the care of the organizh-
ton are sufficiently provided for, ana
only those who are thrown out or en-
ployment by a continued cold wave APP
peal for aid.
Lee Baumgarten, president Of the
United Hebrew Charities, said mere
had beep no increased demand upon
that organization. so far, because of
Our workers keep in touch with our
families" he said. "and they try TO
anticipate needs instead OF waiting Tor
appeals"

PHOTOPLAY ERS

Ince Sees DdWn Of a
New Form of Art in
Development Of
the Film Play
BY GARDNER MACK.

A new type of photopiay. which

future and will establish the mo-
tion picture as a distinct art. Is
taking shape. according to Thomas
lnce, and during the course of the
new year the distinguished dirsc-
tor expects to see II established.

original FIVE or six, and we all
know examples of weak four or

been excellent In two or, perhaps,

roughly what length a picture story

sonable freedom to let the story
make its own length for the hest

The true motion picture work of
art may start as a two-reeler and
end as a twelve, or II may be photo

logically with two and a quarter.
Of course, we must try to meet with
in reason the natural and inevitable
limitations of the business end of
the industry. but these will gradually
grow less so as to permit the cap
