1.-THE WINNING OF BARBARA
wORTAu

If there were tears to shed during
the prologue to The Winning of Bar
bara WORTH" presented at the Pinney
last night before large audience, they
were dried by mimic sand storm.
Death had overtaken a family on the
desert, The Worth party discovered
the members about the dllapidatcd
wagon. AS they knelt in prayerful
supplication for the souls of the de-
parted and for the life of the baby, Il
sand storm swept over them.
Fine sawdust moved through space
by electric fans, formed an admirable
substitute for the sands Of the desert
and would have been quite acceptable
If it had been confined to. the stage,
but II swept out over the audience.
The orchestra was whitencd. together
with those in the front seats. A sad,
sad scene was spoiled by the merri-
ment OF the audience.
But the laughter subsidized with the
storm. The child lived and became
Barbara Worth and the plot of Harold
Bell Wright's splendid book was pleas
ingly unfolded. The story in part deals
with Irrigation development and
proves especially acceptable to west
ern audience. The leading parts were
all well taken. The engagement will

1MoNG the bewareS that / would
1 NJ compile for motion picture pro-
hi ducers," said Henry w. Say-
~ age. is beware of the back
ups.
BY these l mean the long, tedious
flaShbacks, which not only hinder the
action of the picture, but seem to me to
be an insult to the intelligence Of the
audience. For instance, we progress
to the exciting point at which the hero
Inc is in the power of the villain. The
hero, who up to this time has been
busily engaged watching the stock mar
ket, is warned BY some unseen power
that his sweetheart Is in dagger We
see him close his desk shut the office
door, descend in the elevator, board q
taxi or a street car, according to the
condition OF the stock market and the
strength of his belief in the imminence
of Mary's danger. ride from Wall
street to a hundred and sixteenth,
walk to Mary's apartment house. ride
up in the elevator or ascend flight at
ter flight of stairs, according to Mary's
station in life, ring the bell, etc.
TOO MUCH REALISM.
"All this time Mary's throat has been
at the tender mercy of the villains
thumbs. 1t Is all very well to aim at
realism but not to the point of tedious
ness. No one cares how the hero ar
rives as long as his entrance Is timed
for the proper moment
THE same thing holds true Of the
indiscriminate Use of visions. Every
time Inc heroine looks sad she is think
ing of some painful event of her child
hood--but why inflict this pain upon
the audience by flashing that DISTRESS

we can account for that sadness.
Therefore let the picture proceed
