critic attributes this to the fact that
the modern audience is not to be
awed by the stllted lines and blank

sent nervous chills up and down the
spines OF the owners Of guilty con-
sciences out in front.
On the photoplay screen, however,
Satan may still be introduced as a

That a gigantic motion picture
city, to accommodate q. $15,O00,00O
corporation. which promises to be
the biggest project Of the sort yet or
ganized, is looking for suitable To-
cation, has just been revealed at a
meeting of the Long Beach, Calf,

date five of the leading companies
now producing for the screen, under
the guidance OF H. NJ. Horkheimer.

full particulars will probably be an
nounced. may say, however. that
we plan to build a film city which will
DO striking in every detail. OF the
five companies contemplating joining
in this project three are already
operating in southern California,
while the Others are in the East.
More Bids Desired.
Just where the new film city Will
be located is an unsettled point. A
number of locations have been sug-
gested, but further propositions can
still be entertained. This point does
not have to be rushed through, as all
Of the aflliateds will continue to pro
dnce at their present studios, until
the new site has been carefully Sc
lected. Wherever we decide to build,
the most permanent sort Of improve
ments will be made"
When the matter Of merging num-
Der Of the biggest film producers was
first preached, the Balboa company
was asked to take the initiative, as it
is recognized as the largest actually
independent studio in the industry.

with difficulties that would have over
come any man not possessed Of a cast
iron determination. But Mr. Hork-
hemer refused to be discouraged and
today his plant at Long Beach repre-
sents an investment of 100000.
Big Changes Soon.
Motion pictures are here to stay
for q while at least" said Mr. Hork-
heimer. "But some big changes are
soon to be Witnessed in the trade.
Competition has become so keen that
tho battle for survival Of the ittest is
on. BY merging some Of the largest
concerns, an impregnable organization
can be formed. l don't mean trust
or anything like it, for it will be i'm
possible ever to monopolize screen
production. But we can build a pro-
ducing structure that will stand. That
is the purpose Of the project to center
in real film city. l may say further
that it will not be a stock jobbing

GREATPROBLEM
PLAY IS FILMED
BYTHONAS|NCE
Frank Mills to Star in "The
Moral Fabric" Sensational
Triangle Feature.

Frank Mills, the distinguished
Broadway actor, soon will be present
cd by Thomas H Ince as the star OF a
gripping matrimonial problem play
entitled 1.-The Moral Fabric" Tri-
angle Kay Bee feature from the pen Of
G. Gardner Sullivan. Mills already
has been seen on the Triangle pro-
gram, first as leading man for Bessie
Bnrrlscale in "The Golden Claw" and
then as co-star with Willard Mack
and Mary Boland In THE Edge of the
Abyss" but in this subject he will
share his stellar honors with none. !
Free Love Affair.
THE Moral Fabric is a serious
treatment Of the question brought up
by the so-callcd advanced thought Of
the last few years as to whether the
rights of love are not superior to the
rights OF morality. 1t recounts the
experience OF a man and woman who
sought to rend the moral fabric, WOW
Ell together by the experiences OF
countless centuries. and wildly de-
picts the ultimate unhapplness OF
those who are unwilling to abide by
the conventions.
Singular Opportunity.
Mills, it is declared, has been pro-
vidcd by Sullivan with a role that Of
fers him more and greater opportu-
mites than an expression Of his emo
tons than has any other part with
which he has been identified in recent
years. 1t is the part OF Scott Win
throp. the husband who is deserted
by his wife for the company Of what
Is commonly known as an affinity"

and the result is an admirable per-

duce to Triangle audiences a new
