Il seems that no collection of film
matter is complete without few words
from Herbert Brenon, who must be
hard put to find time to do any direct
ing. Mr.. Brenon has the floor:
"No drama is stronger than its story,
whether that drama be presented upon
the spoken stage or upon the screen.
To those who have given the drama
serious consideration this is a truism,
and vet when VIC see the vast sums OF
money expended by moving picture
corporations in endeavors 10 provide
a substitute for a story, il appears that
there are many who have not consld-
cred the matter When a producer

a play performed upon the screen, and
instead of giving you a dramatic story
presents a few episodes, embellished
by number Of big scenes or spectacles
which have little or nothing to do with

you to dinner and then presented you
with a handsome fountain pen. You
may like the pen and be glad to have
it, but you go away unsatisfed and
hungry for the anticipated dinner.

the plot is deliberately abandoned TO

are always shining, but sometimes
they are obscured by clouds; weak
PLAYS are the clouds which obscure
