Bushman-Bayne ''Romeo and
Juliet" Follows Artists Com
positions and Settings.
GIVES NEW PHASE OF ACTION
Permits Making Photoplays
That, Reproduce 5 Scenes
Famous Only In Art Galleries

Another office has been uncovered
for the diversion OF motion picture
activities-the animation of what
have hitherto been only idealistic
creations OF great painters.
This has been brought out by the
productions of Romeo and Juliet"
now before the. Washington public.
and especially by the production
with Francis Bushman and Beverly
Bayne In the principal roles at the
Garden Theater. This film appears
to be a series Of motion photographs
Of the numerous famous paintings
that have been based upon the
Shakespeare love drama.
A flash Of this phase Of motion pie
ture production has been given once
or twice In productions that have
placed harvesters In the fields and
have brought, for an instant only, a
reproduction of the famous painting,
THE Angelus" to the minds OF spec
tators.
Many OF the famous artists Of the
world have painted pictures from
late Edwin Abbey made an entire
series OF Shakespearean paintings to
illustrate a set OF plays. The streets
Of Verona, the tomb OF the Capulets,
Jullet's balcony and her tomb have
been made the subjects OF paintings
time after time.
In the making OF the Bushman-
Bayne picture the director, John w.
Noble. must have had most Of these
paintings In mind, and he was ex-
ceedingsly fortunate In securing out
door settings that could serve as the
backgrounds for some OF them.
1t was evidently Mr.. Mobiles In
tention to give the play the most
artistic setting that was possible and
to place the actors and actresses In
the film In the same relation TO
their backgrounds they occupied In
the paintings.
Followed Paintings Composition.
In doing this Mr.. Noble showed
considerable skill and a desire to get
the very best out OF his subject. for
the reason that the most accom-
plished artists OF the world have ar
ranged thAzcomposttien of these
Romeo aI 8Juliet" paintings, and
Mr.. Nobel MAS not hesitated to
utilize their composition In his
groupings. This is notable In the bal
cony scene. the scenes In Juliets
chamber andsin the tomb.

Shakespeare play without the lines

Masterpieces Of art have treated
these Incidents from practically
every angle and have visualized
them so strikingly In color that they
are real to the .publio-only needing

It Is for this reason that II seems
