Notes From Movieland

The habit Of buying film rights to
stories and plays is becoming so gen
eral that original scenarios are almost
q drug on the market. 1t will be a
good thing for the motion picture in
dustry If it Means the Punishment Of
the old type of scenarios writer who
took the situations of a half dozen
films and combined them into one
new movie Of nothing but screen
tricks. But even the buying Of good
popular plays and stories will not sOlve
the problem of providing films which
tell new and Interesting stories.
Good Gracious Annabelle' was a
play of excellent wit and humor.r but
the screen version Of 1t with Billie
Burke as Annabelle was almost an
utter failure. 1t was flat and on the
whole a very poor show. Miss Fam
ME Hurst. the author of the play, is
reported to have said hat she prefer
red to lie down in the street and he
run over to going to see one Of her
stories on the screen.
On the other hand. there are the
Rex Beach stories which prove ex-
ce]en in picture form. Beach was on
the grounds whcn the scenes Of The
Brand" were taken and no one who
has seen the picture "a call it any
ing and convincing.
His Heart of the Sunset" was. also
a good picture and his next release is
awaited with great, anticipation. 1t
will be- THE Crimson G~ardonia."

halt hours later. Upon entering the
home they were shocked to learn that
the house was torn "topsy turvy" and

been made, although we are Informed
