Believing there is more good acting material in the college class room than has been discovered by agents and casting directors, Jerome Storm recently set forth on a tour of talent discovery, and as a result has two promising young players under his direction, in the first Lillian Gish production.
 Always an exponent of naturalism rather than hectic histrionism. MT. Storm was unable to find among Broadway actors just the types of youth which he desired for import ant parts in his first production for the F'rohman company. He com menced & tour of schools about New York, and at a school of dramatic art met Una Merk1e. who was pre- cisely the type he was seeking to play the role of sister to Miss Gish. His other discovery is Clifford Sharp, a young college man.
 The aptitude shown by both young people and the intelligent manner with which they have responded to direction causes MT. Storm to pre- dict rapid advance for them in the film world. They also subSta ntiate his belief that came experience is by no means prime requisite for consid eration in casting picture. College bcSs and girls should se- riously consider the motion picture

IN THE THEATRES
A REVIEW.

William Favershaw in ''The Sin That Was His" gives a strong pre- sentation of a difficult character. A large audience enjoyed his work at 'olfs last night. By comparing this ,ioture with the one that preceded it
 the same house, the movie enthusi- TT. can learn something of his own sta1tal status as student of drama J.. play is on a comparatively high phhe. It does not concern itself ONfcially with a sex theme, but
 oiks out in a' vivid and interesting
 ~ the regeneration of a man s 0N-he mechanism of the conversion
 1.-the sinner IS reasonable and is
 Cried on by methods which have
 len proved effective in real life.
 The. hero has studied a priest. but rebels against the restrictions of the religious life and becomes gam bier. e
 Associating with bad men he de- tarmines to devote his life to the world and the devil. Circumstances cause him for protection to assume inc garb of the priest. when, being thrown in contact with the religious side of life he suffers a conversion, makes a confession that he thinks will take him to the gallows and conpletely atones for the sins he has committed.
 There is a love thenie which threads the plot so. delicately that one must look to find it.
 This play is enjoyable and it calls into being a somewhat higher set ol faculties than those which are em- ployed for the appreciation of the or dinary sex story with which the screen abounds. While this is by nc means perfect play. it is of a higt type and it is rccomm ended to every body who desires to see the screer stage on it's better rather than on it worse side. It need not be feared that this play lacks thrills simply be. cause it is not primarily tale O Inve murder and wedlOck.

Some time ago dancing masters met, shot off a heap of hot air and told the world and whoever else wanted to listen that they were going to have the famous or infamous shimmy eliminated. They, no doubt. wanted to put dancing back on its feet What came of it. we don eliminated for only the other night at a. show we saw one of the most wicked shoulder shaking bits in some time. But what we are gethng at Is are going to try putting screen kiss ing in a straight jacket. It was de cided a while ago that no movie KISS should last longer than, thIee sec onds.
 In the good old days, when you weren't arrested and booked for carrying concealed weapons or whatever the charge IS When they catch a couple of quarts on you, III the movies there was a heap of kiss ing and such kissing! Oh. boy-it was a shame to think of some heroes kissing vamps the way they did ana also taking money Tor oo1ng IL! Ano a vampirish kisses then than. there is in 8 pint of home brew now. '1n those days-the poor hero's life was one long round of osculation
 When a real nifty vamp got in her genuine forty-horse power vamp work why as soon as she drew herself
 up slowly into the hero's arms. you held your breath and when their lips
 met-you knew it was going to last for sometime and you went out bought yourself drink and came l back and there they were still kiss ing away to beat the whole orchestra
 And. didn't you like that sort of kiss I mean in the picture? And to think
 of it, now a. lot of Dodo~ birds get to l gether and decide that kissing should ! be done away with on the screen Ant 1 we'll bet a brea kfast that a few O i these killjoys who are out coaxins 1 trouble and trying to eliminate thi i and that and everything that enter
 their minds except themselves, hav | not been kissing for the past thirt, l years or more. What say you?

AUDIENCES FIND REAL ENJOYMENT IN REEL COMEDY WORK

There is no doubt that movfng-pic ture audiences enjoy comedy, but it must be real comedy and not of the sort many producers believe is com edy.
 There is various kinds of comedy the parlor variety is the quiet sort that depends on cleverly worked-up situations in screen plays and clev- erly-written lines in the speaking stage play.
 Farce comedy is an entirely differ ent sort. Farce comedy is that in which anything from a fellow fall ing from an airplane to the clean laugh provoking rough-house and pie throwing business.
 Then there is what is known as tmelodramatic comedy. This is com edy interspersed with thrills and that in which during a tensely dramatic | situation, which the various actors and actresses have been working up l is suddenly pushed aside, it were, | and the entire situation is turned 1 into laugh.
