shown here is q type that pOrtrays the
favored lines OF these wraps. sE
Any appropriate color may be chosen
for this remarkably well-designed gar
ment. It has a deep fitted yoke sup
porting a huge puff Of satin, which is
substituted for the usual fur COLLAR.
The lower part Of the wrap is very full

SCREEN DRAMA MUST
HAVE HEART APPEAL
SAYS VIM. De MILE

After five years of close contact
with phOtoplay producing as noun
writer and director for the screen,
william De Mile has come to the
conclusion that the one essential IN
a film drama is emotional appeal.
mo matter how magnificent a
spectacle a picture offers. eNp.alh-
ed Mr.. De Mile recently. or now
gorgeous are its scenic attributes.
if the appeal to the heart is MISS
ing, it is so much dead wood. Reo-
ple go to the motion picture for
emotional enjoyment and If they
do not receive it. they feel their
evening has been wasted. A lee
turer or an evening with a book
on science or philosophy may sat
isfy the mental desires, 1t is the
task of the photOplay to fulfill the
demands of the human heart to be
stirred.
"The girl who goes to the theater
unconsciously slips into the role
played by the heroine. The love
affair is hers. the heart ache Is
hers. and the final denOuement is
her big moment. If a play lacks
this human touch, no matter how
well done, it will never be a popu-
lar success"
Mr.. De Mile. in producing a new
series of Paramount Aircraft pic
lures under his own name, has in
corporated his ideas on the screen
The first of the series is THE
Prince chap" featuring Thomas
Meighan, which will be the big at,
traction at the "B" theater com
mencing today.

MOTHER LOVE Is
THE ROCK OF AGES
SEE THE CONFESSION

Mother love is the universal tie
which binds all people together no
matter what the nationality, no
matter the environment. the love OF
mother is universal, and the love
of a mother for her young as ever
lasting IS the Rock of Ages
Hal Reid, the American play
wright, has written over 12O stage
successes, and upon being inter-
viewed by Harold Bell. the critic,
was asked ito what he attributed
the unbroken line of success
Reds answer was: ITO the fact
that in all of my plays | nave
mother, no matter how. | have
mother defending and sheltering
her children. and l have found that
the hearts of the world have re-
sponded and are still doing so.
In THE Confession the mother
is wonderful In her love and loyalty
and there has never been made
more artistic picture since the dis
covery of the art of making them.
This great picture, probably the
greatest today on the screen, Will
commence a run of four days at
the "B" theater on Monday, Octo-
Der is.

autumn exhibition at the Academy OF the
Fine Arts. Yet Il Is cheering to know that a
great multitude will tear itself away from
jazz for a hurried trip to the oldersfashioned
picture shows for which the dates were an
nounced yesterday.
= Painting is not going out Of style. The
Academy exhibitions continue to recur as
reminders Of days that were at once more
tranquil aud more discriminating than those
through which we are passing.
. Miniatures were supposed to have seen
their day when the Photographic camera was
invented. But more miniatures are painted
In this and other countries every year. IL
was predicted that water colors could not
survive the development of photography.
but water colors, expressive as they are Of
individual insight revealed In the most elu-
sive of mediums, have new admirers and
larger audiences in each succeeding genera.
ton.
There Is no substitute for the work Of
art that can make permanently visible the
light Of an inspired moment. 1t is a good
thing for the world that there isn't. The
movies have a well earned place in the
scheme Of things. There may be artists
among the milliners and, for all we know,
a hair dresser may now and then be inspired.
But the painting that is done by those who
have to do 1t to express great mood or n
new discovery among the beauties of life
cannot be replaced. outlawed or crowded
out Of the world. You might as well try
to find a substitute for song.

LIGHT, ON THE FERRIES

THE refusal Of Samuel Rea. president of
l. the Pennsylvania Railroad, to restore
on the Market Federal street ferry lines the
old rate schedule under which the controlling
company profted enormously before the
recent increase will automatically send the
whole question of ferry rates and service in
this region up for review by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Nothing better than the outcome OF the
recent conference between the Pennsyl-
vania officials and the Camden committee
could b. asked by the people on both sides
Of the river, because It should fairly and
squarely bring out the facts where now much
Is guesswOrk.
New light on the conditions Of iutercity
traffic on the Philadelphia ferries and closer
general contemplation OF the profits and
losses involved, for the operating compapy
and the public respectively. should provide
just the sort of stimulus that is needed TO
master universal support for bridge of the
most modern type between nthis city and
Camden.
