Nationals splendid polarization Of
Sir Charles L. Young's famous melo-
drama, Jim the Penman," with
Lionel Barrymore in the title role- A
remarkably effective support Is con-
tributed by Anders Randolph, Doris
Rankin. Ned Burton, Gladys Leslie
and many others.
Jim The Penman" relates the
story OF a skilful forger who COM
bined in his nature the cunning of
a Raffes and the suave urbanity of
a wallingford. Detected in utter
ing checks by a prospective victim,
Jim is given the alternative of serv-
ing a band of crooked promoters for
a period of twenty years or going
TO the penitentiary Tor that length
Of time The subsequent action OF
the story covers the entire two
decades of RaIston's subservience to
the master-mind of the wild-catters.
AT the expiration of that period, Jim
conceives a revenge that annihilates
the entire group of financial pirates,
saves the name of his daughter
from disgrace and furnishes the pic
ture a climax that has seldom been
approached in novelty or dramatic
power.

There are styles in scenarios, just
as in everything else, and John EN-
erson and Anita Loos, screen au-
thors. predict radical changes In
photoplay fashions for the coming
season. Young writers are advised
hv these veteran scenarioists TO try
a more serious type Of photo-drama
n they wish TO sell their manu-
.cripts this summer. Even IN COM
edies. the demand is for satires
rather than sugar and water ro-
mances, these authors declare.
The styles in heroes and heroines
are changing with the times. Last
year Mr., Emerson and Miss Loos
nredicted a season of light comedi-
ennes. with tendency toward
blondes in the leading part. This
war there is the same demand for
this type Of comedienne. but In sd-
dition there Is a growing market for
stories which build their plot about
highly emotional, althoueh not nee
essariIy beautiful, women Of the
continental type.
"Probabl Il is the influence OF
this period Of reconstruction
throughout the world which is
changing the viewpoint OF American
producers. and. more important. OF
the American public" says Miss
Loos. There is more Of tendency
10 face the facts of life in the
movies and to buy real drama In
stead OF made -to-order melodrsmss
which sacrifice every opportunity
for nne situation TO produce some
trite, happy ending. Especially is

Mary Pickford's New Picture
Abounds in Cinema Color
Glimpses of Belgium and "Great White Way
Make Film Notable.

From a Photographic standpoint.
greater variety will be offered in
Mary Pickford's next production,
entitled Through the Back Door"
than in anything this star has ever
offered to theater patrons. This pro-
duction will be featured at Loew's
Columbia theater for an extended
engagement beginning this after
noon.
The story opens with colorful
scenes at the pleasure resort of Os-
tend as it was in the gala days of
1908. Then farm scenes in Belgium
are shown, wherein are featured the
picturesque peasant costumes, the
pastoral scenes and the quaint ar
chitecture that have made this king
dom famed for its rural beauty. The
scene then shifts to the modern
castles of the rich on Long Island,
and here we glimpse modern archi-
lecture in all its magnificence both
in exterior and interior views. We
see marvellous furnishings and beau
tiful women in all the elegance of
fine feathers, prescribed by the
worlds greatest modistes.
There Is also a glimpse of New
York's great white way in all its
scintillating brilliance. and a peck
at one of Americas great hostelries
with the sumptuous appointments 5
that distinguish these modern pal
aces. Native-born Americans are
given a chance to see New York and
famous Ellis Island through the i'm
migrants eyes. A view that prom
ises thrill to those who have never
seen 1t.
The diversity for locale represent
ed in Through the Back Door" is
said to be one of its best box office
features. The par-excellence of
Charles Rosher's photography, the

Jeanne Macpherson Gives Some Aspects of

Fresh from a comprehensive tour
of Europe which took her TO all Of
the motion picture producing CEN
tiers OF the continent and introduces
her to the directors of the great
foreign-made pictures which have
shaken the laurels of American pro-
ducers, Jeanie Macpherson, author
of the scenarios OF many Of

a great deal of protest II has been
claimed that the importation Of pic
lures will permanently injure the
industry in this country. After a
close study OF film conditions on the
other side, ! cannot believe that such
will be the case.
In the first place, Europe is years
