Motion pictures in natural colors
were exhibited last week in New York
and hereafter other films made by the
same process will be a regular fea-
ture OF the program. The pictures
were most interesting as the first ex-
amples of color motion photography
to be shown here publicly since NJ
Gaumont gave an exhibition in the
Thirtyninth Street Theatre in 1913. I
The pictures, which were made by
the Prizma process, were not perfect,
but they were far more nearly so than
the first color films shown ten years
ago. The color effects achieved in
some OF the studies were remarkable
and gave suggestion of what may be
expected when the art is developed to
a still higher degree.
Prizma pictures are said to be the
first color films to be projected with
standard apparatus. Other processes
require specially designed projectors.
AS shown at the Strand they are run
on a standard protector, owned by the
theatre, TO which is attached the color
filter that disseminates the color
values that have been assimilated by
the film in the process of taking. In
addition to this feature the Prizma
process is the first by which natural
color pictures are made under artifi-
cial light This opens an interesting
field of drama in natural colors. pro-
Ject which many producers believe
will soon materialize.

MOVIE NOTES
up-to-Date News Of Films and Film
Actors.

There is as much difference in
the styles of photoploys as in the
styles of authors. Give two novelists
the same material and one will pro-
duce masterpiece, the other an UNI
inspired tale. The same is true OF
movies.
Hundreds OF stories have been
translated from the printed page to
the screen with varying results. but
FOR every such photoplay as good as
hevBarrier' there have been hun
dred nondescript pictures. This screen
version OF one OF Rex Beech's most
popular stories, placed on exhibition
last week at the Broadway, is well
worth seeing as an example of how
EFFECTIVELY a tale may be spun by this
newest Of mediums.
Mr. Beach's stories are eminently
fitted for screen reproduction because
OF their bold dramatic qualities; red

quently used to describe his type Of
tales, which means that they abound
in the action that springs from the
emotions of more or less elemental
characters placed in situations OF
great stress often in rugged en-
vironment Action is the soul of the
cinema, and since the appeal of the
movie Is solely through the eye, if the
action can pass amid attractive sur
roundings the value of the picture is
enhanced
But with unintelligent handling Mr..
Beach's story of frontier life in Cali
fornia and Alaska would have been
spoiled. as many story has been.
The Barrier is fine picture be-
cause II avoids the tricks of the film
and reflects life The men who di-
rected its making were smart enough
to realize that there was enough of

without adding any touches of theatri-
calism, and that the more nearly it
seemed to picture real life the more
effective ii would be- They chose
their players from the host of the UNI
known, guided only b ythe idea of the
fitness of each for the character to be
portrayed and then they apparently
demanded a forgetfulness of the cam

VALUE OF music IN
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL

To the EditOr:-
1t is only after careful study Of
the conditions here in Weston that
| venture to write on this important
subject. Proper musical training
is as necessary as any other study
in the school and is 50 regarded in
all our cities and towns Of any inn
portance
And why should it not be? Isn't
music especially vocal music the
greatest Of all accomplishments?
How often do you bear some person
say, II wish could sing?" And
how many do you hear say, Il
wish | understood geology. algebra,
physical geography" ETC.? Now ]
do not mean to belittle these studies,
but merely TO draw comparison.
These are among your standard high
school studies and you all think they
are very necessary. Music, how.
ever, Is just as essential and would
to a large percentage Of pupils be

of more Importance than some Of
the studies mention,d.
While the appreciation Of music
has grown in the last 20 years the
number of singers among the
younger generation has decreased d
more than so percent. Why? he.
cause OF lack Of proper inStruc.
tion. Years ago the singing school
furnished the singers. Now you
could not conduct u singing school
any more than you could an algc-
bra school. Consequently the early
musical training must come through
the public school.
II is matter Of record that
where vocal music is and has b,tn
taught for few years. activities
in vocal music have increased more
than so percent: also. the efficiency
has increased more than so percent.
Diseases of the throat and lungs
have decreased so percent among
music pupils, This should be
convincing argument.
1t is pity that there is no stan.
dard for music teachers. AS rule
anyone who can sing and play little
is considered qualified rs a teacher.
This is serious mistake. Many
good voices are ruined BY improper
methods. and children's voices are
very easily injured. Therefore a
qualified teacher OF school music
must have thorough understand
ing Of voices. registers. and the
proper use Of all organs ot voi,e
production, and should be able to
apply this knowledge in the work.
Such training will b. OF great value
to any young person. as 1t will lay
a proper foundation Tor a life Of
activities and enjoyment Us
we'll as health.
