BARLEYCORN IS DROPPED FROM
 THE ~M0VIES"

Even the movie" man has hand ed John Barleycorn his death blow. Following along the lines of the na- tiOnal movement no more productions in which John takes part will be tolerated by one of film producers after July first.
 "On July l, the nation becomes dry. Before this war measure is revoked, the new constitutional amendment prohibiting traffic in liquor will go into effect. In other words, the liquor business in the United States has come at last to an end. Discussing the change in conditions, Carl Laemmle. president of the Universal Film company. says:
 Nothing becomes absolute, even archaic, as rapidly as custom that has been outlawed Screen and stage will both be compelled to discard the saloon. the private cellerette, the aristocratic buffet and all other li- quor dispensing institutions and de- vices, public or private, as incidents in the development of plots for plays or cinemas.
 "No longer will it be possible for the scenarlst or playwright to send his hero for consolation to the cup that cheers. No longer will the plot maker be able to steel the nerves of his desperate villain by plying him with drink. No longer will dark conspiracies be matched around the tables of drink emporiums.
 John 8arleyeorn Dead.
 John Barleycorn has been good friend to the writers of plays and scenarios. He has helped them out of many difficulty. And now John Barleycorn is dead. He will serve no more.
 "A play or phOtodrama depend ing even slightly upon the liquor crutch for scene or incident or motivating or stimulating cause will be. in few months. passe. The critical. observing it, will immediately label it as play of yesterday. It will bear date tag reading, Prior to July 1, 1919.' It will not be a play or photodrama of today--of the new today It will be pro- duction of the past-of a bygone era It will be what the critics call his 1orical. in the same class with cos tuned plays.
 Attention of all Universal sec narists and directors has been .'
 h these facts. Because of them we have already pigeonholed some good scenarios. It can't be helped. The new day brings it's new order, and we must labor accordingly. Scena- rists who. in the future, submit their products to Universal should like wise bear the facts in mind. The name of John Barleycorn is no long CT on the program.
