THE theatrical producers now
are debating among them
selves as to whether the
screen is really going to alb
sorb and eliminate the legitimate
stage. And between talks the pro-
ducers of the drama are playing SAFE
tv and announcing new plays for next
season. while the screen man is send
ing forth urgent appeals for original
stories adapted to screen production.
Whenever some one calls for new
play, no matter how mild the call. 1t
reaches the ears of the aspiring story
writing public. but. unfortunately Tor
the screen man. that public has been
trained from childhood to have an
abiding faith in language. Therc rs
much language in the world and II
seems pity that some OF 1t cannot
he compiled into the play form soreiE
needed for the stage OF today Ihe
screen man. however. is not hunt
ing for that kind of play Lam
suage to him is AN obstacle and
sometimes a very difficult one to over
come.
What the screen man wants is
stories told exclusively by The ac-
ions of their characters ana apso-
lutely without words or the Necessity
for diagrams or subtitles to explain
what is going on. True. they expect
such stories to hold the interest,
arouse the emotions or inspire the
soul the same as in stage play. put
they must unfold intellieiply in action
only what the author is seeking to
convey.
Naturally the little schoolgirl who
has learned to write an essay. the
cub reporter who is proud of his
authorship and the young woman in
he house of plenty. with nothing but
her fads and reforms to prevent, can
rot furnish this kind Of story. In
deed. the demand has startled the
great authors, and we'll il may. for
IT is not a demand for play literature
as they view the term. but a demand
for an entirely new kind of literature
the literature of intelligent and intel
Iieible action as contradi stinGuished
from the literature of language.
And herein lies the one great in
surmountable reason why the screen
cannot absorb and eliminate the legit-
innate stage. The human voice in all
it's varied beauty is the medium
through which the g1ories of litera-
ture and of the drama alone can be
perfectly conveyed. The stage is the
reflection of real life with all that
belongs to it. The photopiay is mere
1y it's pictured image, the phantom of
the real thing. Like the mirror. it
can only reflect the image: beyond
that it loses all else.
