 Worth Lewis post has received number
 of attractive booklets for the men who
 served overseas which will be distrib-
 uted to the ex-service men. The books were sent by the French government

what this German submarine did during
the war will be exhibited on the screen.
An official German cameraman was
sent out on the T-3J by the German
government to get pictures intended ONLY
for the eyes of the German public and
the result is one Of tbe most gripping
subjects ever put on q screen. At times
the camera seems to be close enough
for the camera man to reach out and
touch the sides Of the doomed vessels.
Many people will probably enter the
theater with the idea that a fake is go

they leate they will know that the
scenes are as real as night and day, it
is asserted.

A TTENTION GIRLS!
Gouverneur Morris Says That American Women
Lack Poise-ltalian Beauty Has Learned
the Art Through Burden of Tradition

| Il understand that producers allow
flve hundred to one thousand feet to the
| titles even in a five reel picture, and
that seems to me ali out of proportion.
It IS either the fault of direction or the
fault of the story. In SO many pictures
planatory captions have been unneces-
sary.
The screen is essentially a medium
| for the telling of story in pictures. A
really good story can be summed up in
a paragraph. and surely the acting can
be made to illumine the minor points as
they develop.
"Of course tee wit of Will Rogers is
distinct contribution to the photoplay.
People are not expert lp-readers and
they want to hear what he says / am
not advocating motion pictures without
sub titles as altogether ideal / hold the
opinion that one would be worth doing.
and shall try to do it
With the mention of Will Rogers. the
conversation drifted into discussion of
humor and comedy acting on the stage
and screen.
Interested In Edgar.
Gouyerneur Morris used to play tennis
with George AIDE in the old days when
they lived nearby in Westchester That
suggested the George Ade fables which
where translated to the screen, under
the ufTectloH bI Il. MASON Hopper.
Mr. Hopper is now directing the Gold
wyn productions Of the Edgar Comedies
which Booth Harrington has written
directly for the screen.
Il shall be very much interested in the
process. remarked Mr.. Morris. The
boy creations Of Booth Harrington arc
one of the real joys of American fic-
ton. George Ade has said that Tarking-
ton got under the hide of the real boy
and deeper into the psychology Of
juvenile deyiltry than any one who has
written boy stuff in our generation: and
it will be treat to see his Edgar on
the screen,
The success OF comedy often lies in
being extremely serious about things
that the outsider finds amusing. Boys
are always up 70 something or other that
is trifling but appears to them a great
secret or tragedy, extremely personal
and important-so something their elders
could not understand. Weber and Fields
were at their best in raising an awful
row about matters of no Importance,
and they delivered the most ridiculous
lines with terrible seriousness. You will
find the most amusing motion pictures
make use of the same device. Motion
pictures are new, ut human nature is

Albert RAY. the young Fox star,
whose photoplays with Elinor FAIR are
among the bright features Of the Fox

of a smile No artist on the screen
has done more than Mr.. Ray to glad

artist says:

across the bridge from sadness to hap

it is also easy 10 be unhappy. It IS
