- been comparing the movies and
4 the drama, and has written his
conclusions for the North American
Review. These agree pretty gener-
ally with the views OF other dis
tinguished critics. including G. Ber-
nard Shaw.
These critics keep IN mind a dts
tinction between the art OF the drama
and the business Of the theater.
Matthews says that the movies
compete with the nondramatic thea

views and vaudeville performances

He says It is OF course true that
the moving picture director can take
a drama and translate IL 10 the
screen.
But all he can put on the screen IS
the mere story, the empty sequences
OF events, void OF all the humanity
that gives it meaning.
