THE TROUBLE WITH PICTURES

Zane Grey. the novelist, who pic
turized the story Desert Gold" be-
gins it's second week at Moore's
Strand today. has made a plea for
more sincerity Of purpose in pictures.
He urges the producer to Danish the
publicity-made star; to cease making
pictures that have. as their sole COM
mercial asset, coarse suggestiveness;
to quit fostering mediocre and poor
stories upon a long suering public.
when / asked a motion picture
man the other day." said Mr.. Grey,
what was the matter with moving
pictures, he said: 'Aw, the movies are
all right. only they amt no good
''Singularly paradoxical as this may
seem, it hits the nail on the head.
he pity is that producers and di-
rectors and stars cannot understand
that the public does not want the kind
of stun that is hashed up to them.
The public universally does not want
immoral plays. morbid plays. cook
plays, undraped female plays. The
public cannot tell what 1t wants, but
eh truth can be learned from any
father. mother. sister, or brother who
asks what kind of a picture would
please them all. il they went to the
theater together! They want action,
thrills, manly heroes. pretty and pleas
ing heroines. and beautiful surround
ipgs., They want vice punished and
virtue rewarded. That Is a fundamen-
tai constitution on the human heart.

certs already arranged by other mu-

Because she has played so many
highly emotional roles in the Amer
lean theater there is hardly anyone
better qualified to discuss the phychol-
ogy of emotion than Miss Jane Cowl,
who will be seen at the Belasco this
week in "Smilin' Through" a new
comedy by Allan Langdon Martin.
In this new play Miss Cowl appears
as an Irish lass of today and again
as a girl of fifty years ago. whose life
was touched with unutterable tragedy.
Asked her methods of achieving
pathos, Miss Cowl said:
Emotion obviously constitutes the
large part of that which we call act
ing. and there Is one cardinal point to
consider-where the mind leaves off
and the heart begins. heart being a
term synonymous with the emotions.
MY belief involves three points to
be considered in this connections:
'First-The actress must be moved
herself

the Pacific Coast was "A Girl Named
Mary" a delightful screen comedy.
When Miss Clark left her beautiful

In California the trip was really her
honeymoon. as she had just been
married to Lieut. II. Palmerson Will
liams. Her first few weeks were oc-
cupied chiefly in recovering from a
rather severe attack of homesickness.
However. her usual buoyant spirits
soon came TO the front. and the dainty
star says that the latter part of her
stay in the West was most pleasant.
Wallace Macdonald. who is playing
opposite Miss Clark in "A Girl Named

motion picture engagement as the re-

is simply a mental balance necessary
in order that the speech shall not be
