Talks About Moving Pictures.
Miss Rose Z. Taplev, sister-in-law of
j. Fred Morse formerly of Brattleboro,
conducted last week a campaign of
education regarding motion pictures.
The following is from the Philadelphia
Public Ledger:
Rose E. Tapley, q former actress of
the speaking stage and now of the Wit
agraph photoplay forces, has come to
Philadelphia to tell club women and
other women who may be interested
iii the subject what she knows about
motion pictures and what they ought
to know about them. She will illustrate
her talks, some of which will be given
in clubhouses, others in theatres, with
specially prepared Vitagraph pic
ture called From Script to Screen which
VIII give vivid point to her remarks.
Miss Tapley, who began her cam
palgn last evening with q dinner at the
Hotel Nendig, said:
- want to show these women how
good pictures are made; what good pic
lures are like. | want to take them on
little journey through motion-picture
land-a journey that begins with the
author and ends with the finished pro-
duction. And this screen excursion must
typify the best that there is in pictures.
Each step of the way I want to drive
home to my listeners why it is a. good
picture and how easily it might have
been made bad one. -
