Philadelphia Prima Donna
is Writing an Opera
for Herself

Sophye Barnard is writing an opera. The
popular Philadelphia prma donna has been
trying to obtain light opera suitable for
her and her husband, Lou Anger, TO star
in; but, after searching for two seasons
and reading over at least 80 manuscripts,
Miss Barnard has not found the one she
was looking for, so she is going to write
one herself Miss Barnard has been work.
ing on the book for several months now
and hopes to have 1t ready to stage next
season. In the meantime Miss Barnard
has returned to vaudeville with new sin
gle singing turn. and will appear at b. F.
Keith's Theatre next week.
Miss Barnard is of Philadelphia birth
and her family are at present residents of
this city. The charming vocaliste, in hunt
ing for local color" for her opera, found
what she thinks will be one of the biggest
features ever produced in light opera but
she is keeping the story to herself and
refuses to tell even the members of her i'm
mediate family what the name of her opera
Is or what 1t Is all about. Even Lou Anger,
who is to have the principal comedy part
in the opera, has not been told the details
or the name of the piece he is to play in.
Her reason for maintaining such silence
and secrecy Is that she intends to furnish
the theatrical world with a surprise play
that will create some theatrical history
Miss Barnard is a finished musician. She
studied music with the best masters and
possesses a voice of rare quality and charm
In spite of her success in the title role of
The Red Widow" with Raymond Hitch
cock, Miss Barnard's ambition is to ap-
pear in opera along certain line laid down
by herself, and when she blossoms out as
a star again she will appear in her own
opera, written by herself, staged by herself
and designed in every detail along her own
lines and around her own ideas. Philadel-
phans will no doubt wait with interest for
the surprise with which she is to present
them and in the meantime enjoy her as
vaudeville favorite.

your idea for photoplay. is IN conceive
of some deep, underlying thought so uni
versal in its conception that 1t strlKea
home to every human heart. Once you have
your theme, locate 1t in whatever atmos-
phere Is best suited for its development.
An example might elucidate:
Suppose we take the subject of children.
The next step in its development that nat
urally suggests itself will be the desire of a
man or a woman to have no children, while
the husband or the wife, as the case may
be, will want children.
II we conceive of such a situation among
the poor we have lost strength. 1t is pos
sible, but it is improbable. II we have a
wealthy banker and his wife and one or the
other lacks the desire for children II is still
possible, and what is more, 1t becomes prob
able.
We can conceive of a society woman. feel
ing that she has no time to devote to Off
spring. whereas II Is a difficult matter to
conceive of such a situation. say, on New
York's East side. II we make It the woman
who does not want children, IL we show her
preferring society, liberty Of action, etc,
and the man seeking his ideal we have
something that is old.
Twist 1t about. The man doesn't want
children.
Why2
ASK yOuTbcH IHe question:. 1t ID uH-

son why normal married man in affiuent

Our imagination is excited. We can delve
into the past for an explanation.

the banker and warns him that II he ever
has child to leave his estates to- she will
uenounce MIN ana expose him. She is de-
termined to make him pay for the wrong
he has committed in casting her aside, and
determined that her child shall enjoy the
luxuries denied II.
This is but a suggestion of an explara-
ton. There are hundred other reasons,
whicn almost any one with a vivid imag-
NATION could give. The point to be no

stead OF taking the first idea at hand, In

powerful appeal.
It is subject that has been touched
upon thousand times in photoplay writ

The main thing Is to get the probIem,

The annals of the theatre are crowded

But II remained for Margaret Anglin

confide II to representative of the New

didn't know she contemplated retiring. and

that, after all, her method isn't so new
since Il Is being announced that she Ia
to retire, let It be stated at once that the
fact was stumbled upon quite accidentally
and developed through a process of cross

The Director Has Troubles
of His Own
BY Maurice Tourneur
director Paragon stadiosJ

The art of moton-picture directing has
changed as much within the last two years
as the personnel of the casts and the tyres
OF stories produced
Where, a short time ago, meIodranaa
was the popular thing, the increased taste
OF the motlon-pcture audiences and their
experience after actual years OF constant
attendance have put up 20 the producing
director problem of absorbing difflculty.
He must not only have a good story to
tell. but must be profound and versa
tile artist in his manner OF telling Il.
The day Of the obvious has passed: now
one must Indicate many or the most pow
erful points of a photoplay by what is
not shown. The commission of crimes Is
frequently made the more gruesome By
letting the audience see the events which
lead up to the results Immediately after

knowledge that, the director appeals to
their imagination and intellect.
Today the best theme ia one which is
not expected; the finest cllmaxes those
reached by n succession OF surprise. Yet
we have learned that action" does not
mean "speed"-strenuous successions OF
melodramatc accidents and incidents do
not make, necessarily, a strong play. The
burning of n whole city during a flood,
complicated with an earthquake, may give
mechanical excitement and keep your cam
eraman and stage hands busy; but a
significant glance, the turn of an eloquent
hand at the psychological moment of
tense scene, may have a hundred times
more dramatic punch"

We directors have found ourselves un-

the Mary Pickford type and wins the
sympathy of all in her many hard

The dramatic photoplay, "Destiny's
Toy" relates story Of such human
and tender qualities as to appeal to
the sympathiest OF all. A child, saved
in the wreck that cost her mothers
life, and mourned as dead by her
father, leads varying and thrilling
life until she falls in with band OF
thieves, who compel her to adopt
their practices. In the course of her
duties, she breaks into the house of a
young clergyman, who. touched by

How this is disclosed and she Is re-
united to the father who had never
expected to look upon her again. Is
