william c. DeMille. the noted dra-
matist. who wrote "Warrens OF Vir-
ginia," The Woman" and other plays
for David Belasco. is devoting himself
exclusively at present to writing for
the motion picture screen. He has
achieved signal success in this field of
litera ture. as he calls it. He declares
that the great inspiration which comes
to writer's for motion pictures is In
the knowledge of the size of theu
great audience.
In the year 1915 there were roughly
$500, 900, 900 paid admissions to the
moving picture theaters of the United
States" said Mr.. DeMine recently

Is the only theatrical star l know of
who has not played in the movies who
says they are a good thing and don't
hurt the legitimate stage.
THE tremendous vogue, of the motion
pictures" says he, has done the legitI-
mate theater good, if only in the effect
it has and Is having on producing
managers. 1t Is also creating a new
public for first-class theaters, but 1t will
never compete with the spoken drama"
Sir Johnston was not trained for the
stage. He was briefless young English
barrister whom Sir Henry Irving used to
meet at the Savage Club and took fancy
to and persuaded to become an actor.
Lady Gregory has gone back to Ire
land and that's all right, for she is ap-
preciated there. But before she went
she evolved a scheme for the develop
ment of the American drama which may
be right or not. I suspect the nays"
will have It..
Themes for Playwright.
She proposes that in each city and
large town in the country there be a
theater supported by the government
where plays dealing only with local con-
ditions and chsracteristics be presented
sort of folk plays up to date. In that
way. the real American drama would
come to the surface and drown out the
effete effusions Of the highbrowed liter
sry cliQues in this country and Europe.
For instance 1 suppose In the Vermont
theater the theme of a comedy would be
pie. In Detroit, 1t would be tragedy con-
nected with automobiles. In New York,
unquestionably graft would be the doni-
nant note In the drama. In Chicago, it
would be a hard task for local play
wrights. They would have to choose be-
tween stockyards and brag, and would
be liable to give offense. In the District
Of Columbia, the available material would
be largely restricted to hot air.

Indications yesterday afternoon were
that the Yinson subcommittee Of the
House District Committee would not con-
slider further the Heating resolution d.
recting the Department OF Labor to in
yestigate living conditions in the Dis
trict OF Columbia.
Following a brief hearing attended by
a large number of District social workers,
the sentiment of the committee seemed
to be that the matter was one for an
other committee to handle, inasmuch as
It directed the Department Of Labor to
make the investigation required.
Mrs. Florence Kelley, national secre-
tary Of the Consumers League inform
ed the committee that the ultimate aim
was minimum wage scale in the Dis
trict, but that pending a decision by
the United States Supreme Court on
the constitudonality of the Oregon mini
mum wage law. it was desired to obtain
as much information as possible about
living conditions here
Human interest was added to the pro-
ceedings by several of the witnesses

League, showed an apron which she had
made In a local sweat shop and for which
she had been paid two two-cent stamps,
