STAGE VS.. FILMS IN
MATTER OF IN
SEPARATION

Those who say that motion pictures
do not give the actor the same inspira-
tion that he gets on the legitimate
stage. with the sea of faces across the
footlights. watching his every move,
will find in Joseph Kilgour. the Vita
graph player. one who is willing 70 ar
que with them. He finds more inspira-
ton in the cold. cleaning eye of the
camera. the critical eye of the
directors and the interested eve Of the
camera man than he ever felt before.
II an actor puts his whole mind into
his work there will be no lack Of in
spiration. l have played a great many
parts on the legitimate stage and at
times have been deeply affected by
them. but until l began TO pose in mo-
tion pictures l did not realize what in
spiration meant.
There is one film in particular that
brought out, | believe, the best that
was in me. At least. I meant to do my
best-not only from an ethical stand
point, but because the story Of the
play inspired me. The story was the
death bed effort Of Il great mind. Mrs.
Sidney Drew George Cameron) die

pleted her work she died, holding in
her hand the very Bible from which
she derived the story's theme.
Think of the sentimental sssocia-
tions Of that story-psrticularly when

S. Rankin Drew, 10 produce. All Of
the PLAYERS cast IN the picture could
see that he was endeavoring 10 erect a
monument TO the memory Of his loving
mother. and every player did his or
her best under that same inspiration
On the speaking stage Kilgonr has
always been known for his knowledge
OF technical detail. He finds that in
motion pictures he has an even greater
opportunity TO display his technical
knowledge His first glimpse Of HIM
self on the screen. however, caused
shock to his justifiable pride.

Very we'll done, Mr.. Kilgour.' said
nv director. who was watching the film.
"'Well, if my work in that picture
impresses you as being good. in my
future pictures you are going TO see
some real acting I had the film run
over over again three or four times, noting
where. in my opinion. could have done
better. II was the first time had ever
had a chance to see myself as others
have seen me. and IT taught me good
lesson. My later efforts pleased me
better. for I knew then how to obtain
