I"IE BELIEVE in boosting. We
w believe not only in scattering
broadcast literature describing the
marvellous glory and beauty Of our
wonderful land or in sending letters
back home telling Of the good fishing.
but also in cleaning up the back yard.
keeping trash OF the streets, paying
the improvement assessment, entering
the City Beautiful contest, and in 9TH
er ways Of helping to improve our city.
Then We can have something to be
proud of. something to boost for: and
our boosting will be more effective.
We must boost In q sane, rational.
consistent way. What Is the use Of
our raving about the salubrious, exhil.
iarating atmosphere Of klamath Falls
when at our very doors we have the
Ankeny canal. thing which Is an ab-
solute disgrace to any community. and
which is q greater menace to health
than anything we can imagine?
Why do we urge farmers to settle
here. anyhow? When they do come
the townspeople and business men ig.
more them. and prefer to get their let.
tuce. beans. peas. celery and cabbage
from California instead Of from the
men who are attracted here by our
flowery encomiums. Then the mer-
chants complain because the farmers
patronize mail order houses. This is
curious paradox. We are scolding
each other for doing a certain thing,
and then each man turns around and
does the same thing himself. Why do
we not stop fussing and get in and
work together? We believe in patron
izing local business, and We also be-
lieve that klamath products are as
good or better than anything which
may be produced elsewhere. and that
with cooperation between farmers and
business men these may be secured at
the proper time in the right quantities,
and at reasonable prices. Then our
money will stay In or around Klamath
Falls. and our city will grow not by
the efforts Of so-called boosters and
spectators. but by the earnest work
and cooperation Of the citizens, which
is really the only way a town can
grow.
When people come here they are
surprised at our lack of civic pride
and individual interest in civic mat.
ters. Many Of us do not care a snap
how things turn out, but when a mat.
ter is settled, then the kicking begins.
Why cannot each man take hold in the
beginning. make it his duty to see to It
that the right man is elected or the
right measure passed. so that all mat.
tiers will come to lasting satisfactory
conclusion. and everything we tackle
will turn out to be good job.
The enthusiasm manifested in the
Shippington road matter is a good In.
dication Of the awakening Of civic in.
terest. We need more Of this, not
merely "hurrah-boys" spirit. but also
a willingness and desire to get in and
work for the best interests Of the city.
We must convert the crouch and the
kicker. and open the eyes Of the pro-
fessional booster. He may shout about
this being the most wonderful city in
the West. 1t is. potentially SO. but It
remains for us. the citizens of Klamath
Falls. to make It really so. The way
to do it is to boost, boost with our
hands and brains. not merely with our
ngues.

"AND Lo! A SOUND FELL UPON MY EAR"

ANY ONE who has seen one of Will
"A liam Gillettes performances of "Se-
cret Service" at the Broad Street Thea
tire this week cannot, IL he is observant
at all, have failed to note the wonder
fully effective use that Is made of noises
off stage.
Just for example, the wailng of the
church bells at the beginning of the last
act OF the play. Richmond has been at
citizens are in a panic. The church bells
are ringing to call out the reserves. 1t
is marvellous the way those bells tell the
story and make the audience feel that
the sound comes from the many spires of
a great city and that they voice the ter
ror and haste of the people. Mingled with
them and heightening the effect come
the tramp of hurrying II oops, the clash of
arms. the dull rumble of cannon over the
streets. Another dramatist might have
had his characters talk about II, but he
could not possibly have made his audi
ence sense the situation as these sounds
do
Once in "Clarlce" Mr. Gillette wanted
to make his audience feel that the room
shown on the stage was in house re-
mote and isolated He did it by this
same use of sounds off stage. A char
acter left the room. A moment later the
audience heard the heavy outside door
close with muffllng bang. Then came
the sound of carriage horses paving a,

play which Mr. Gillette will do at the
Broad next week, there Is another tn
stance In point-where in the famous gas
chamber scene the audience must be made
to feel that the place Is remote from the
outside world, n prison cell from which
no cries could escape to the passer-by in
the street. And the effect is produced
by the sound of the bolts on the outside
of the door, by the ,lanking of chains
and by the footballs of persons approach
ing or departing along long corridors.

Professor Moriarty pays his memorable
visit to Sherlock Holmes rooms In Baker

all companions away from his prospective

that makes the audience feel the loneliness
of the detective. But when Moriarty

When one speaks of stage mechanics
which raise the illusion to the highest

in this respect as for instance in his
scorn at times of the footlights. But

"1916"-FUTURE
OF THE PHOTOPLAY
Is There a Pinero of the Screen
Just Over the
Horizon?
By OLIVER MOROSCO

President OF the oliver Morosco Photoplay Co
As New Years Day appears to be the
proper time to make resolutions, 1t seems
to me that it would be an excellent idea
for producers, and others as we'll. to re.
solve to imagine every day q New Years
Day and start each new "a hours with
the same progressive spirit that the first
day of each year seems TO generate
mOmentarly.
The solid bedrock foundation of the
successful photodrama of tomorrow will
be the scenario or play itself. Without
such a groundwork stars and directors
directors, stars and players in general
may build worthy skyscrapers of artistic
achievement before the camera.
Tomorrow must. and surely will, pro-
duce imaginative geniuses whose fame
will rest wholly on their photodramas
1t is not enough that they eondescend to
come over from other branches of lit
erary or theatrical endeavor, That CON
descenslon" Is an insult to a great and
established medium OF human expression.
You and l will live to see the day OF
Pinero. Jones, a Bernstein and
Thomas OF the screen-men who will be-
come world-famous for the depth. power,
sincerity and compelling truth of their
photoplays. But they will be specialists;
they will not do pictures on Thursdays
and Saturdays and literary and theatrical
work the rest of the week. And
when we have reached the stage of great
screen authors we producers will cast
their parts just as carefully as the le-
gitimate manager of today searches the
stage world for suitable players and per-
sonalities to breathe life and r. Hlity into
an authors written pages. Another year
will find the photoplay developed to an
even greater and finer degree of art, and
tomorrow people will look back on pres
ent productions as admirers of Coburn.
Genthe and Hill now look back on their
early tintypes.

GRIFFITH, PRODUCER,
MAN AND ARTIST
A Personal View of the Wizard
of the Motion
Picture

There Is human-interest story in Grif-
fifth. who has screened an American epic
His work is known to millions. but the
man himself Is not known. He has kept
himself back of the camera, out of the
picture, but now that he has made Amer
lea sit back and look at the films at
Broadway prices, and has got the So
called classes to drop their venerated
classics and ioin the masses at n movie
exhibition, the blue stockings and men of
books rise to inquire what manner of man
Is he.
Griffith was born in Lagrange, near
Louisville, ky. He Is 35 and has a strain
of the Celt. The blend of the canny
Scot and the bubbling Irishman that came
down to him from his overseas ancestry
shows at times in his climaXes. His
father served under Lee in the Civil War,
and The man who now stands at the head
of the profession in this country. and
perhaps the world, has not lost the spirit
of the old Southland.
It's an old story now that Griffith was
failure as a road actor, a transformers
even in tank towns. That doesn't mat
ter so much. Today he stages the great
outdoors and blends the purr of a kitten
with the crash of artillery; runs the whole
scale of emotion in his film portraits of
life, and he gets the heartbeats of the
poet and the orator. He had designs on
grand opera when he looked about for a
career but he found his voice suited for
the speaking stage. even If the manager
of the road company failed TO agree with
him, Griffiths friends say he was better
than the average as an actor, but he
stuck TO the stage for two years and quit
for a place with a film company Here
Is where he began to develop his talents
and get his grip on the psychology of the
world OF make believe.
Griffith is about five feet ten inches
i'm height He carries no superfiuous flesh
and he is chubby when off duty. He has
written several short stories. but he Is
committed absolutely to the silent drama.
He looks upon it as the youngest sister
of the fine arts, and he hates censorship.
