The Glorious Peep-ShoaU
Of the Siluer Screen

The essence of the films day (ask
any producer or exhibitor) is the star.
And the star is the public figure, the
famous or the Infamous man or woman.
For to 80 cents the screen takes
us up and introduces us to him.
The last few weeks have thoroughly
demonstrated that. While Caruso, the
worlds greatest tenor and once the
worlds worst actor exhibited his facial
peculiarities at one theatre, the bill
boards all over the country began ex-
plotting star hitherto known by the
name of Mildred Harris as "Charlie
Chaplin's Bride" That's the peep
show.
To very large extent the stars of
the screen have been made stars by
the public because they can actor
the screen. But whether they can or
not, their vogue has become the vogue,
not of entertainment alone, but of pub
lie figures. Chaplin, Fairbanks, Pick
ford and Hart have dramatized them
selves into actual living characters.
Their habits and characteristics are
very sharply defined. Sometimes the
press agent actually helps US to believe
that the nature we sec on the screen is
carried over into life; that is the sue
cess of that prime peep-show star,
Theda Bara.
Granted that we go to the movies to
see public figures, we go because we
find them there living much more
vitality on the screen than public fig
ures ever lived before. By the $4,000
pictures of fve-reel film, we get

The movies aren't so very far from
the nickelodeon yet. Theatres cost
hundreds of thousands and they charge
nifty cents seat, where dismantled
store and Give cents-one nickel-the
twentieth part of dollar" were the
simple essentials dozen years ago. But
Tor all that, there is something of
the peep-show still left.
OF course, it is glorious peep-show.
The whole world marches across one
end of the dark room. Stevenson saw
1T in his minds eye when he wrote of
dreams in "The Childs Garden of
Verses:
All night long and every night,
When my mamma puts out the light,
| see the people marching by.
AS plain as day, before NV eve.
Armies and emperors and kings,
All carrying different sorts of things.
And marching in so grand a way,
You never saw the like by day.
SO fine a show was never seen,
At the great circus on the green;
For every kind of beast and man
Is marching in that caravan.
The movies are no less a peep show
because the photoLlay has displaced in
popularity the news pictures and
"scenics" which first dominated the
screen. And not merely because the
photoplay takes us to all sorts of wild
and bizarre places from Full to the
stock exchange.

the stage of Hammerstein's Victoria
when it stood where Caruso first met
the film fans eye at the Rialto. The
movies have been blessedly spared
from much of that sort of thing. The
war seems to have bestowed upon Ger
many most of the murderous energies
of the wicked. Isolated as it was, it
could supply only the veritable Won der
Goltz for the screen.
The rest of the world, passing
through the purifying fire, has been
content to impersonate the Kaiser in a
score Of films, and let it go at that.
But now that the war is over, and do
nestle notoriety can get a chance again
on the front page-well, if the Allies
don't lock up the skulker of Holland,
we may see a lively little race for

Hon. TO Fill IN the Time
Until CurzlsO Ary'iUes

Mr.. Carusol 1t is terrible,
"And now | shall show you the scrap
books. Mr.. Caruso pastes them all up
himself"
So he got out the files and took the
book off the top marked No. 1 and
we began. First he pulled two chairs
up close together and we both sat
down. Then he opened up the book and
we both held il and read the notices
in minion. 1t was very chubby and
nice. like looking at the family al
bum.
Caruso seems to have a special
genius for making up scrapbooks. He
has the notices all artistically ar
ranged and the pages decorated with
fat cupids and bow-knots.

"Caruso was in magnificent voice"
when we heard the magnificent voice
in the hall, and a moment later in
walked Caruso.
Apparently he did not remember US
so we pretended that we didn't remem-
Der him either and were finally intro
duced by Zirato
What do you want me to talk
about" said the great Caruso, in
manner which seemed to say 1--WE
strive to please"
"You needn't say anything" we an
swered, encouragingly. "Mr. Zirato
told US all about you. You may just
go on and act natural"
So Caruso took up his mail and
opened it. and read US some of his let
tiers, all Of which were from persons
he did not know, all of whom asked
for money. One knew boy with a
wonderful voice, who needed 5000 to
complete his education. Another was
from an old tenor who had been or
dered to Denver. Another from a girl
who had to have new gown to sing in
They all seemed to think that Caruso
Sas the father of their country.
They think 1 SIN q Rockefeller; and

much better than we had even dared to
hopel How did you do it. And why
are you SO much better than the other
opera stars who essay to become screen
stars?'
BAH he cried. "Theyl 1 will tell
you No, l will not, l will not"
And SO we missed hearing what
promised to be an interesting dts
closure.
i. And then Caruso autographed pho
tograph and made pen and ink sketch
of himself for US, and the interview
was at an end.
And Zirato escorted US to the ele-
vator.

closer to these people than we ever
could approach any man or woman be-
fore. We get closer than we could to
the photo of famous man, because we
see thousands of photos which make
an actual living human. We get closer
than we could by seeing him on the
street or the public platform, because
we see, very intimately, deliberately
selected set of actions devised and as
sembled for the purpose of making US
grasp, feel and know personality. We
get closer than we could on the
stage, because the film concentrates
our attention on a face and bodv
many times their natural size; and on
top of that, because the film brings
the player to US every day, everywhere
far more often than any touring sys-
tenn can exhibit him.
Caruso is no paragon of silent art
Everybody knows it. He is amusing,
Jovial, entertaining, even authoritative
at times. But that isn't why Adolph
Zukor paid him some hundreds Of
thousands of dollars to make two films.
Zukor hired Caruso because Caruso
is great public figure. Caruso is
famous as singer, but he is just as
famous as personality. And not one
man in a hundrcd-not one in a thou
sand perhaps -has ever seen him. Mil
lions of people from Hanover, N. H..
to Laredo, Tex, will want to look at
him at least once; and if he is amusing
and the photopla.' is reasonably good
they Will want to see him again.
1t is this sort of desire to see and
understand the great ones that has
brought so many opera singers to the
screen. 1t used to put acquitted muir

Prosecuted Belgian Cardinal Always
Confident That God Would Save
the Unhappy Country.

Cardinal MERCER, archbishop of Ma
lines, Belgium, was not actually i'm.
prisoned by the Germans, but his free
dom was restrained. His offense was
the issuing of a pastoral letter to his
people in January, 1915, in which he
said: Il have goite through most of
the places in my diocese which have
been wasted. What l have
seen of the ruins and the ashes passes
anything that, in spite of my most
acute fears, | could ever have imag
ined. Churches, schools, char
liable institutions, hospitals, converts
to a considerable number are unfit for
use or are in ruins. Whole villages
have almost disappeared. God
will save Belgium, my brothers, we
cannot doubt It, Let us say rather.
He is saving her. Is there a single
patriot who does not feel that glory
bas come to Belgium? Which of us
would have the courage to tear out
the last page of our history? Which
of US can look without pride on the
splendor of the glory that our muir
dered country has won?"
