WHY MOVIES ARE NO
LONGER MAKING PROGRESS

Continued from Page One
striving so hard to advance the new art
why is 1t not advancing?
The answer is in Shakespeare's famous
line: The play is the thing" AS in the
spoken drama, so 1t Is with the moving
drama, the play is always the thing, the
foundation, the heart, the vitals the very
life of the moton-picture drama.
And our dramatists, novelists, short
story writer's, scenarioists are not deliver
ing real plays. They are writing manu-
scripts. yes, thousands, but not 10 per cent.
are living, breathing, human-interest stor-
les, worthy of the name or of the noble
effort the directors and associates are put
ting into this trash to make 1t possible
of public presentation.
Therefore, I say the motion-picture
dramatic art is at a standstill, as far as
real progress is concerned, on account of
the poorly constructed, quickly conceived
stories or plays it is receiving from the
majority of the authors who are writing
for the screen If the motion-picture drama
is to progress and strengthen the marvellous
hold 1t already has on the affections OF the
public as a form of amusement, 1t will need
better stories. far better stories. than 1t has
been receiving of late.
The situation is critical. I need hardly
refer to the unsatisfactory conditions pre-
vailing in the industry at the present time ;
the need for better pictures is paramount.
Yet the authors are NOT rising to the stu
alton; they are NOT taking their work Sc
riously enough. Mr.. Dramatist conceives
what he thinks is good idea for picture
play and dashes 1t Off in week II is sent
to the hard-pressed producer and he for
lack Of something better and because release
dates must be met and expensive stars and
stock companies get their salaries whether
they are working not, turns 1t over re-
luctantly and often apologetically to the
director, who does his best, and our beloved
art suffers.
This same Mr. DramatIst who writes his
photoplay drama in a week is accustomed
to spend from six months to a year, and
often longer. in the writing of one play for
the stage. and in this fact I think we have
the root of the evil. Our writers will not
give the thought, take the time nor expend
the energy necessary TO write really good
play worthy OF the name.
They complain that the reward is not
enough that they are not we'll enough
paid. I am inclined to agree that they
are not well enough paid. but they are
receiving full value for the material they
are at present turning out. I predict that
when our dramatists give us real plays,
plays that will live on the screen and
that the public will want to see more than
