 Notwithstanding what may be said by the congressman about their inability to repeal the law, they will change their minds if they get chance" said MT. Colpeys. Beer is the only luxury enjoyed by the the h. sands of laboring men," he con. tinued. and if they are denied that, what will they do? The answer of many of them is: We won't work. J
 Only two persons raised their hands in the negative when Mr. Colpeys called for a vote of ap proval on the resolutions adopted by the federation in Atlantic City, which demanded that con, gress repeal the law abolishing beers and light wines during war time.
 Get their pictures" the crowd shouted Then Mir. Colpeys asked: Why can't the mem. bers of Congress be men enongh to repeal the beer and wine sec tion Of the prohibition amend ment, so that two and three quarters per cent. non intoxica- ting beer may be enjoyed by the men and women of the country"

 This law ought not to stay in our statute books one hour," said MT. Fitzgerald. But the Senate and the House admit that it is not their business. It IS up to the president
 He'll do it. Working men should continue to insist upon it until he does," came from the different sections of the crowd.
 Yes, 1 know that he will do it, Mir. Fitzgerald replied. "The only hope of the workers is to take it up with the president. Mr. Fitzgerald continued to denonnce tie wartime prohibi- tion law in the most bitter terms. He declared it is an ignoble eff fort to crowd prohition down the throats of the people," He ad. ded: They think you are going to sit idle and allow your rights to be trampled upou. I say No.' A deafening "No!" welled up from the throng.
 There can be but one answer from you, concluded Mr. Fitz- gerald, and that is an unmistalz able demand for your rights"
 MT. Kealney was the next speaker and he said that work ing men and women had brought thelr message to some of our 'misrepresentatives in congress. We have come here to serve no tice on congress that it has mis judged the nation. he added. He charged that many "misrepre-

PROHIBITION IS SCORED BY TOILERS
Laboring People Stage Great Demonstra-
 ton Before Capitol at Washington

Wa .hington. June 14 The le- giOns of labor, seven thousand strong, marched into the capitol of the United States today and voiced their protest against war time prohibition in tones that rocked the historic structure to it's foundations. The vast crowd of men and women stood in the Scorching sun for nearly three hours, approving by enthusiastic applause the expressions of'their demands for light wines and beer.
 Congress was given to under stand in no uncertain terms that the workers heartily disapprove of their efforts to enforce in times of peace a law proposed under the guise of a wartime necessity. Charging the inva sion of the right of personal lib erty, warning was sounded that if absolute prohibition is permitted to become effective after July 1. widespread unrest throughout the country will re- suit.
 The demonstration was with out disorder, but there was in evidence an unmistaken determ ation on the part of the workers to carry on the fight, which they termed one of right, until the finish. There were men and women in the crowd and on all sides the protests against the proposal to crowd the prohibition measure through were voiced in terms that can not be misunder- stood.
 Special trains brought delega tions to the capitol from all the great industrial centers, and smaller delegations were said to be present from every state More than 600 delegates came from the convention of the Am erican Federation of Labor.
 Two hundred soldiers, who saw active service in France, came in with the delegation from Johnstown, Pa. and 100 women, representing the Women's Aux Hilary of the Personal Liberty League, were numbered among the group from Baltimore. Miss Reeney, organizer of the WO- mans Auxiliary, mounting to the top of table and waving an American flag, cried:
 T am the first lady advocate of personal liberty in the United States and you bet your life 1 will go to hell if I don't get it. Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of La Dor, was the principal speaker. John B. Colpeys, editor of the Trade Unionist; Representatives Fitzgerald of Massachusetts and Rainey of Illinois and State Sen ator Kearney of Boston were other speakers
 We challenge the right of any one to prescribe by law the mor- als or habits of the people of the United States" Mr Gompers said. In trying to remedy the habit of few, they are denying the great masses tnelr right to drink glass of beer. The con stitution of the United States is a charter of guaranteed rights in which the government is en- joined from interfering with the rights of the people ot the United States. For the first time in history the constitution now has a provision saying Thou shalt not This is the first provision in that sacred document which denies the people the exercise of their personal rights.

should probably have decided upon the
full-arm motion as being the more
striking. But the screen does not al
low much room for this sort of swing
ing about, and when | saw these gest-
ures reproduced in the pictures saw
how Intellectual many of them we're.
There was imposed upon me the ne

learned to keep my wide gestures for
moments of supreme Importance.
The suhtlety that lies in economy
of motion is something one cannot fail
to learn from picture-acting. Nothing
would be more grotesque and incom-
prehensible in pictures than the in
discriminate moving about so common
on the stage. Gesture means so much
that it is precious. One must limit
ones self only to those movements es-
sential to the action of the piece or
the development of the character-and
thus is learned the lesson of repose.
1t is, of course, true that picture
dramas are acted with almost no re-

hearsal, SO that the excesses of an in
experienced characterization are not
easily avoided. But one is continually
disciplined by being faced un-
relentingly with the effect of each least
motion Of face and body. The effect of
the mere flicker of an eyelash is
brought back to the actress-so that
she learns the value of shadings of ex-
pressions with a conviction she may
never acquire on the stage.
The stage and screen make different
demands on one. A screen characteri-
zation is made up of short, concen-
trated moments, in which an actress
calls all her forces under control for a
few minutes. She is not called upon
to sustain her pitch for any length of
time. The. stage gives her the magic
assistance of voice, by which she may
relax her vigilance on her mimetic fac
ulties-but it demands of her that she
sustain mood truly for a much
longer period. Some day, when di-
retors have overcome their passion for
"chopping up" a picture drama into
short scenes, this same capacity for
sustained strength will be demanded
Of the film actress.

When l returned to the stage in
Forever After" after two years spent
in acting before the camera, most of
the critics expressed a mild surprise
that l had not brought back with me
the f1amboyant acting methods of the
movies. Now, the famboyant acting
methods of the movies is a myth which
persists and will not be downed so
long as the memory of those crudest
early films remains. Before actors and
directors were acquainted with the ma
terials with which they had to work
they thought excessive expression was
necessary to put an emotion across in
pictures. The present day familiarity
with the mechanics of picture taking
has revolutionized this theory. Every
one who studies the art of picture
making now knows that before the
powerful magnifying eye of the camera
exaggerations become actual distor-
tlons which no one may cultivate with
profit.
The thing against which to be eter-
nally watchful in acting for the pict-
ures is overacting. A greater premium
is placed on restraint here than on the
stage. Restraint is imposed upon one
first of all by the physical limitations
of the screen. Instead of having the
width and depth of the average stage
in which to work one must obtain the
desired results within comparatively
close camera lines. This concentration
within a limited space makes for what
might be called "the small method" in
acting, which is really the develop
ment of finesse.
For example, in my stage work be-
fore l acted in the pictures, I had the
common habit of swinging my arms
about freely. I had never thought
very much about the comparative ad-
vantages of full-arm motion as
against motion of the hands and
forearm, by which to get the same eff
fects--and If had thought about it

A reader who signs himself G. r. K
thinks that we have been signally un-
fair to Dunsany's "The Tents of the
Arabs" That is entirely possible, al
though we remember very acutely that
we had no enjoyment from it. Of
course, we do not cite this fact as any
certain proof that the work in question
is not among the most lofty. G. r. K.
is chiefly nettled because we spoke
slightingly of the English in this par
ticular Dunsany play. He challenges
US to name any play in New York, with
the exception of Hamlet, which has
more literary flavor. Of course the
answer to that is to cite "Dear Brutus,~
which seems to us to have an immeas-
urably more charming style. 1t may
be true that "The Tents of the Arabs"
is Infinitely better written than a num-
Der of popular plays which our reader
names, but, after ALL even if this were
so, we would still contend that it was
not good writing for the stage.
But we are not inclined to admit its
worth even without this qualification.
G. 7. K. cites us several lines which he
thinks bear out his contention as to the
literary worth of Dunsany's style in
this particular play. One of these is a
speech by Eznarza, who says, ii vii,
raise up my head of a nighttime against
the sky, and the old, old .unboucht
stars shall twinkle through nv hair.
and we shall not envy any of the dia-
DENIED queens of the world"
1t is somewhat unfair to snatch q
few lines out of their context, but adj
this, our dislike for the particu-
lar literary flavor of "The Tents of the
Arabs" arises from just such passages

self-conscious English. 1t has no SAVIOR
