The heaviest rainfall that has been
experienced here fell last week. 1t
flooded ground that has never been
under water before. So intense was it
that the rural mail carrier could not
cross the streams so as to go his us
ual rounds. Ii is generally believed
that this overdue flooding is directly
traceable to the barren state of land
caused by sawmill companies cutting
all the timber off the land.

life created by himself, directed, no
doubt. in measure, by him, and, thanks
TO his ability to see the need for it.,
titled either by him or in conjunction
with him.
Mr.. Knoblock, incidentally, sees no
reason why "One," which David Be
lasco is presenting now, would not
make excellent film material. He has
no reason to believe, however, that
it will be used as a motion picture.
because he says Mr.. Belasco 'is very
proud of his productions and no doubt
would not feel like allowing one Of
his starring pieces TO be used in films"
But Mr. Knobloek does not believe that
simply because Zone" comprises a deal
of subtlety and detail of expression
and finely drawn lines it would not be
available for motion picture. In
fact, ne believes the time will be here
soon when the quality Of a motion pic
ture will be determined by its success

ability to force a situation, no matter
how finely drawn it may DC, into the

Edward KnobloclA Advises
Motion Picture Makers to
Abandon Film Convention

X~' ONNENTIONS that have prevailed
" in motion picture making since
the very beginning Of the indus
try must be abandoned, says Edward
knoblock, playwright, author of "One,"
in which Frances Starr is appearing at
the Belasco Theater In place of ex-
agcerated scenes and timeworn "over-
acting" and mistitling, there must
come subtlety of expression. sanity
and art in titling, and a general doing
away with the idea that the thoater-
going public is not capable Of thinking
out situation or two for itself.
Mr.. Knobock, who arrived here las.
week from England, has negotiated
with Jesse Lasky, of the Famous Play
ers-Lasky Corporation, for entering
deeply into the motion picture indus
try, with & view to writing and as
sisting in the directing and production
of original film plays. These changes,
he says, will be forthcoming, so far
as he is concerned, if he can have his
way about it.
In the Offices of the Famous Players
Lnsky Corporation yesterday Mr.
k-oblock discussed the motion picture

AS " e Were saving
By Haywood Broun

Esv HERE is a perfectly good rea-
IL son why Fred Stone can fill
VI theaters to bursting for about
as long as he's willing to stay
and at any known spot where he'd like
to stop. 1t is not just because he can
do huge number of things and do
them better than almost anybody else
1t is not even because of his enduring
young charm nor of his bubbling vital
Ity. which makes all his other accom-
pishments possible 1t is because he
is so oll-f4shioned.
We Will have to take the sting out
Of that, Of course, before we risk our
self in public, and, unfortunately. the
only way we can do it is to reach into
sea where we can very easily get
over our dentl We mean the sea,
mostly uncharted, Of the psychology of
audiences.
The part of his audience which gets
the real thrill of Fred Stone is the
part which began to go to theaters
ABOUT hfteen or twenty years ago.
4hey have been snorting around ever
since to find that first fine careless
rapture. There was something miss
ing IN those revues and eliminate"
musical comedies. To lay their ghosts
they began to think back to the good
old days of Frank Daniels and Jimmie
Powers. and Marie Cahill in Nancy

lney were dating themselves by sigh

0e'ter to take up the slack. He doesn't
s0anne himself to anything In particu-
'ar. he joins In the whole business
"no provides q sort of hullabaloo of

everything thoroughly we'll and ne pro

nut the real magic Of Stone - that
80 ooes seem like old times. He starts
comic song about wanting lily. He
sounds just little bit like Al Jolson,
,0s everybody knows that Jolson has
'sas since taken to putting songs
"sr' which means singing lot too

e.se comes along, and does something
u his own, and there you are, in the

paunging in and out and smearing IT
