I was talking to a fellow yesterday
down at the Iris. he told me he was
getting so tired of pictures. that the
plots. actors, ideas, scenery. every
thing about them was getting to be
old stuff. I'll agree with him on sew
eral things but when he said that pic
lures had about run their race. that
he believed they were about thru, did
not agree with him. The motion PIC
ture has not given all that it can give
all that it will give. 1t still uses
constantly the old principles or the
theater. and of a poor theater. 1t is
only by breaking entirely away from
the theater, and trusting to its own
resources, that the motion picture VIII
attain real perfection. The screen
player has his superiority over the ac-
tor on the stage, that. in the first
place, heSis not troubled by text TO
learn, and in the second, he is able
to see himself at work, to criticize and
correct himself. One is greatly sur
prised to Sue an Intelligent actor, who
a few minutes before has given an
admiral BILE theory of the art of the thea
ter, do exactly the contrary as soon
as he is on the stage. On the screen,
FAR from being blinded by vanity, the
actor is obliged to recognize his faults,
and it, he loves his art, he will do his
best to correct them. Whereas the
actor on the speaking stage-~weafs
himself out for negative results, and
the most celebrated leaves but name
soon forgotten; the screen player or
the future will feave after him re-
corded work. Without doubt we
would be delighted if suddenly, hav-
ing talked so much of them, we could
attend a performance of Booth or
Mansfield or Mary anderson. These
reasons and many others, deSpite our
attachment to the real theater, causes
the cinema to interest US. And it will
interest us, even more, when it shall
raise itself above the platitudes and
vulEarities which one unfortunately
finds too often in the innumerabIe
Aims turned out every day turnout the
world. This is one proof more that it
is not scenic effects and old stage
tricks which can elevate the motion
picture but rather the personality of
the actor who invents the details and
creates the character on the screen.
This is why the names of William S.
Hart, Madge Kennedy and Tully Mar
shall will certainly live. And. oh. 1

guess that the musician NJ. Pollain was
destined to be widely known as the
soldieJ of France.
To his title of bandmaster he has
added that of captain, being promoted
rapidly from private to a captaincy on
account of his heroism and ability to
handle men under his command. Some
of his band men could tell heroic
stories of their leader for they have
taken their military orders from him
in the field. There was a grimness be-
hind the grace of the man who welded
his baton. that people could not fore
see. AT the front in France, the fight
er in him was revealed. Because of
memories of the Marine and Rheims,
his music stirs the soul. 1t has been
said by soldiers writing home that
there is nothing like his rendering of
the "Sanbre> ct Meuse' march, with
which. the poilus go into action. There
are two other numbers on his program

and La Marseillaise. When Captain

LETTER
Ry DIXIE HINES
BE- DIXIE HINES.

One of the most interesting susges-
tfons that has been made in this season
emahates from Miss Helen Handlers,
the concert singer, whose recent en-
gagemefts in grand opera at the Metro
ro,itan Opera House and in concert ap-
pearances at Carnegie HALL have won
her unusual rsnown. Miss Handlers
although "A sinEularly talented. versa
tile and brilliant musical artist. found
rs SO many promising young artists
have found at the Metropolitan. that
the way to artistic progress was large
ly blocked by insurmountable obstacles
in the main through the personal like.
or dislikes Of an important member OF
the so-called Kitchen cabinet" or ''in-
vts bile" personality. Hence she elected
to cast her artistic lot among the sing.
ers. with unusually and brilliant re-
suits.
In brief Miss Handlers offers the very
excellent suggestion to the music clubs
Of the United Strtes that they form q
National association. arrange a con
seductive circuit OF concerts, appoint
a directing bureau in New York, Chi
cago. Boston, London. Paris and else.
where, and through this bureau ar.
range for such appearances OF artists
az may be desired. BY combining the
influence and resources Of the clubs ir
every part of the United States. pro.
grammes of UNUSUAL excellence may
be arranged and under arrangements
more advantageous TO all.
THE clubs would naturally proft by
securing their attractions to less than
the usual terms because the artist
would be enabled to SO arrange her
tour that she would minimise her
travelling expenses. The artist would
find it an advantage because she could
make her appearances as frequently AZ
she desired. and within easy distance
between points. 1t would then be pos
slble for the clubs to offer a larger and
i>,ore extended programme and increase
the number of appearances each sea-
son, which would stimulate local inte-
rest. 1t would. indeed. work harmo-
niousiy and advantageousiy for All

man. Had the artists been paid at
their regular engagements rates. the
expense OF the concerts together with
rem, of halls. printing. etc. would have
been over million dollars.
Asked to explain why this great
body OF gifted people have given SO
literally aof thar time and strength
to promote the movement, Mr.. Isaac
son pointed out that the artists APP
preciated the importance OF getting
the highest type OF music to the mas
SEES OF the people and OF cutting away
all expense barriers, so that II would
be impossible for the world and his
wife to refuse to come. As music
tans, they realize what music can do
10 advance individual and social WELL
being. They also know that once the
desire Is awakened and the taste cul-
tivated. lifelong loyalty to music
is the inevitable result. In this way
are Augmented the artists build up
those precious ..sollowings'. and the
whole ca use Of music Is advanced.
