THE SILENT DRAMA

Motion picture theatres, the world over, are the main amusement places ,patronized by diversion seekers today.
 There are over thfrty-five thousand places in the United States alone, where moving pictures are being ex- hibited daily. More than five-hun- dred million dollars is invested in the motion picture business and many of the leading stars of the legitimate stage have been 1ured away from the footlights and applauding audiences to appear before the all-seeing, un- compromising motion picture camera.
 A number of recent and past stage successes have been adapted to the screen and in many instances the leading players who originated the respective roles in the stage versions appear in their original characteriza tions in the films.
 Hundreds of thousands have be- como interested in the writing of film drama. The ones who succeed and the ones who have failed is quite another matter.
 When moving pictures were first introduced to the public in the store shows they were only short, simple scenes, such as panoramic views of places of interest taken with the mo- ton picture camera placed on the back platform of a moving train, a few hundred feet of a race, a train in motion and such things The ob- ject was to show that the pictures moved The public became interest ed, inventive minds became busy, and today we have film masterpieces run ming in length from three parts or reels of a thousand feet each to elab- crate, costly and spectacular produc- tions of ten or more parts
 Years ago all that was needed to making motion pictures was a small capital, a motion picture camera, 8 small studio with a small stock com pany consisting of a. number of small salaried thespians, a small develop ing and printing plant and a selling force Those who entered the motion picture game as it is called, in those days made fortunes as the initial cost was small and the profits large
 Many of the well known players at one time felt quite insulted when offered positions acting for the Silent Drama. One instance may be quoted. A stage director connected with a film studio met friend who was a leading man in stock. The director
 asked the 1ead' where he was play ing. The actor informed him that he was at liberty The director of fered to make arrangements to have
