of the theatre are done somewhat bet
ter than the serious ones. Ibsen is sell
dom presented with so much care as a
Midnight Frolic." Both the late
shows of New York are distinctively
artistic in setting and costuming. For
the rest they are not noteworthy, with
the exception of the Dooleys, at the
Century, and Bert Williams, on the
New Amsterdam Roof. Still, if these
midnight revues are worth doing at all
they are worth doing we'll, and New
York rounds out this form of entertain
ment just little better than it is done
anywhere else in the world
S. L. Rothapfel, who knows great
deal about the business of showing
moving pictures, about singing and
about orchestral music, has said some
wise words concerning the function of
the film in warfare.
1--WE earnestly deplore," writes Mr.
Rothapfcl in little booklet, "the pre-
patriotic fervor which imbues the
American people at the present mo-
ment, as evidenced in the production
of crudely conceived and badly executed
pictures in which an ill-concealed at
tempt is made to commercialize our
love of country. There is no room on
our screens for such films, nor for any
news pictures whose captions have been
written In staggering vein of bragga-
docio entirely foreign to the spirit
which animated the men who are actu-
ally on the firing line for US"
Mr.. Rothapfel has done more than
express this theory. His picture oily
ing With the Marines" should serve as
model for American war films. Not
only was it by far the most thrilling
war picture shown here in New York
so far, but no attempt was made t.
punch home the effects by overwrtten
titles.
the spectators, we must confess that
the first round has gone entirely
against us. Mr.. Edwin Hopkins has
espoused the side of the spectators
with such skill that we will be forced
to abandon our attack entirely unless
strong help comes to us from some un-
expected quarter. Mr.. Hopkins has
. clearly justified the business of the
speculator, from an economic stand
point. Perhaps something still remains
10 be said against the practice of ad-
vertising "best seats at the box office"
when they are not there. That, how
ever, is not the fault of the 'speculator,
but of the manager
A great many people who say that
they can't abide classical music are
going about these days whistling a
little melody of Chopn's called "Fan-
tasie Impromptu." OF course the blow
is softened by the fact that this little
tune was extracted from the Chopin
piece and put into musical comedy
under the title "l'm Always Chasing
Rainbows"
Although the movie men pride
themselves on their realism, we have
yet to see one of those cub reporter
pictures in which the hero is shown in
the act of getting an advance order
against his salary

esting little booklet of the all-star toul
