"There are three types Of photo.
plays writes vachel Lindsay, the
poet, In "The Arts of the Moving Pic
ture," and he proceeds to classify
them as pictures Of action, pictures Of
intimacy and pictures Of splendor.
rThe action pictures are those when
the outpouring Of physical force at
high speed is the main source OF
drama. The Spoilers from the nov
el of Rex Beach, Is an example.
"The intimate pictures are based
on the ability to photograph and mag

give us idyls, genre pictures, village
comedies and the like.
"The splendor pictures may be sub
divided In four sorts. The fairy tale
splendor Is such production as Gin

The patriotic splendor Is such one
as 'Cabirla,' story of ancient Italy.
The crowd splendor Is the panorama

today began sweeping investigations
into the military situation and the

government officials as the spirit be-

vast sums appropriated for building

spent, opened with Chief OF Ordnance
Crozier before the senate military. af-
fairs committee. Food Administrat-'
or Herbert Hoover and Fuel Admins
traitor H. A. Garfield were to be among
the first witnesses called by the SEN
ate committee on manufactures to tell
why American householders have had
to go without coal and sugar. Food
and fuel dealers will be summoned
Crozier will be asked to answer
charges by Senator Wadsworth, OF
New York that national army men
were forced to drill with broom sticks
and wooden artillery.
Officers in the quartermasters' de-
partment must explain evidence OF
lack Of proper clothing for the drafted
men on reaching cantonmentS.
Senator Frelinghuysen, New Jersey,
will present affldavits covering camp
conditions and red tape in the war de-

Unless the committee is satisfied
the vast sums appropriated for the
war have been wisely expended. it will
recommend close scrutiny OF future es-
Inmates.

must be remedied." he said. IT the
officials are at fault they must be re-
