Conflicting Opinions
OF "BrOken Blossoms

The following letters have been re-
ceived by the editor of The Tribune:
Sir: Having spent some time in
missionary work in the Far East |
want TO register a protest against the
slur that is cast upon the work of
our foreign missionaries by David
Wark Griffith in his picture Broken
Blossoms" The whole wretched trag-
edy Of that picture is designed evil
IDENTIFY TO convey the impression that
the ancient civilization and religion
Of China are much better and finer
and stronger than the Christian civ
ilization and religion Of the Occident.
Deliberately Mr.. Griffith has CON
trasted an ideal Chinese poet with
brutal degenerate Of the London
slums; has shown that the Chinese
are tender and gentle with little chill
dren, while the London prizehghter is
just the reverse. The fallacy Of this
presentation lies in the fact that
while one such isolated, single case
might be true II Is plain that Mr..
Griffith would have us believe that
IL is typical-this unfair contrast be-
tween two races.
The religion o. Baddha has left

Open Booking for Coldrcyn

In a statement Issued this week, the
Coldwyn Pictures Corporation an
nounces a revolutionary change in its
distribution policy. Hereafter. each
picture will sell by itself and on its
own merit. All pictures will be cx-
hibited on the screen before sales. In
the past exhibitors have had to con-
tract for whole series Of pictures at
time. The great cost Of production
has been the reason for this system,
but the Goldwyn company. which also
distributed the pictures Of Gertrude
Atherton, Mary Robert Rinehart, Rex
Beach. Rupert Hughes. Gouverneur
Morris, Basil King md Leroy Scott,
feels that the day for open booking
has come.

King Baggot is about to appear as
Christopher Brent in the screen ver-
sion Of "The Man Who Stayed at
Home" and II begins to look as though
he never again would be content to be
"just a screen star" He was up at
the Metro Studio on Sixty-frst Street
and while waiting for his own set to be
ready he was sitting in Emmy Wehlen's
set.
"Now look at this hero that I'm
playing in The Man Who Stayed at
Home He's a typical secret service
man. He is a man of science. He has
to be able to handle a detectaphone,
operate a wireless, uncover plots deal
ing with pigeon posts, invisible ink and
various other devices known to the
modern international spy. A really
high grade sleuth has to be a man Of
almost superhuman intelligence and ex-
pert knowledge. Such man as this,
Christopher, for instance, is what l
should like to be. But my own idea is
also that man who has so many physi-
cal adventures in his daily life must be
able to resist the temptation of too
much mental excitement"
"Meaning-"
Meaning that he wouldn't last any
time if he didn't. He would burn him.
self out. I believe that as matter of
fact most professional detectives and
secret service agents are mentally
rather sluggish than otherwise"
"Of course" we hastened to say,
"that let's you out"
$50 the modern sleuth of the highest
type must be able to do a thousand
things in skilful way-but defer the
appreciation of them until after they
are accomplished" continued Mr.. Bag
got. ''You're talking about super
mani There amt no such enimal.
"Well, that's what I think the new
type Of secret service man is-a sort of
superman. Maybe that's why | would
like to be one"
But there are a good many people who
do not consider King Baggot a super
man. They point to the fact that he
is that rarest of individuals, prophet
mot without honor in his own coun-
try" For he is idolzed in st. Louis
and he was born in st. Louis.
King Baggot was among the first Of
the stars of the legitimate drama to

leased no long ago, with Emily Ste.
vens in the opposite role.
"Do you like to play cave man
parts? was the question waiting for
Mr.. Bsggot when he came on ais
scene as Christopher.
Certainly; it's all in the days work.
But Kildare was superbrute. As I've
already confessed, I'd rather play .
superman. There's something of the
small boy left in every grown man,
think, and there's a thrill about play
ing such part as this one in The
Man Who Stayed at Home and Chief
Flynn in The Eagles Eye that re-
minds me of stolen moments as boy
reading detective and Wild West
stories. Yes, envy the secret service
man. These are wonderful times for
the development Of sleuthing as a fine
art" II. U.

Dear Editor: In reading the dramatic
criticisms in your paper | have always
admired them for being so fair, keenly
analytical and just. ! have sometimes
thought that their value to the general
rublc would be greatly enhanced iI
they were supplemented by an express
sion gathered from some among the au-
dience who would have the common
rather than the expert view Of things.
am moved to say this because feel
rather deeply that the picture by David
W. Griffith, Broken Blossoms" has
not been awarded the palm of merit it
deserves. To call this'a motion picture
ia only because there has been as yet
no one word coined that can fifty ex-
press this strangely artistic combina-
ton of the work of the painters, the
poets, the musicians, the actors, the
ctchcrs and the cinema. 1t is 80 much
more than a motion picture; it is a
sermon on the humantics.
A strange tale of cruelty and unkind-
ness, terrible tragedy and sin and suf-
fering, this spectacle Of Mr.. Griflith's
has the power 20 take us out OF our
selves, 20 exalt the spirit. Far more
knowingly than any sermon from the
pulpit, this tale OF the sad death of a
little child purgcs the heart and so
awakens our hidden sympathcs that it
gives us strength to forbear, grace to
be temperate in wrath and consciously
alive 10 the extraordinary mercies
with which we are so blessed, and which
in our sclfshncss we are so apt TO for
get or TO take for granted.
No drama on the spoken stage has
ever moved me so deeply or so pro-
foundly touched my heart. Indeed.
what could words add TO these won-
drous scenes Of hate and rage and
bestlality, set of against pure and holy
love and Christian tenderness and pity :?
do wish your critic, whose writings all
your readers admire so much, could
view this spectacle with some such
thoughts in his mind that have tried
so lamely to express. He. with his ex-
