PHOTOPLAY THE
GREATEST CRITIC
A Prominent Player of Stage
and Screen Casts His Vote
for the Movies
BY EDWIN ARDEN

II the actor on the speaking stage who
thinks he has reached perfection could
go into the motion pictures for half a
year he would find that he possesses
faults which he never dreamed. The mo-
tion-picture actor. If he is serious, may
always progress in his acting. His mis-
takes are constantly before him on the
films in which he has appeared. and he
can profit by them and see his own i'm
provement in succeeding pictures.
Motion pictures require finer acting than
the stage. for the eye Of the camera is
much quicker and much more exacting
than the eye of the audience in a theatre.
The human voice covers over many de-
fects of pantomime Makeup and colors
effect many softening delusions on the
speaking stage.
In the pictures it is different. Before
one is a grim cyclOps. which does not
lie or palliate offenses. 1t records every
gesture. every movement OF the face or
body with merciIess truthtulness, and is
therefore the most efficient critic there Is.

and control of bodily movement which
is not so necessary on the stage.
There is not any great fundamental
difference in acting for the stage and the
motion picture. There is only a differ
ence in tempo and degree. Quick and
violent action seems disionted on the
screen. Exaggerated facial expression
seems ridiculous. II is temperate acting,
then. which the actor must always have
In mind before the camera.
The motion pictures have entered into
a new era: 1t Is a subtle, involved plot,
thoughtfully worked out and artistically
produced, which the public wants, and
which the producers are furnishing, The
broad play OF the past is gone and the
refined. dellcately handled photoplay has
taken its place.
The speaking stage viii be superseded
without doubt, by the motion pictures
unless managers offer inducements to the
youth OF the land to stay with the legiti-
mate profession.
Pictures pay the actor much more than
the stage Ii is not because the producers
are philanthropists, although they are
generous. 1t Is because they consider the
acting worth the money.
The pictures offer fortune for the
ambitious young man and woman. They
also allow leeway for originality and e
dividuality The stage will die before
very many years unless managers change
their tactics.
