SHIEvr THE SCENE.

SHIFT THE SCENE.
Pause a minute. Mr.. Movie Play Di-

Do not fancy you can thrill 'em
every time you show a fislum
That is filled with savage violence
and crimes.
They want crime, but they would
like it more convincing,
And in violence they ask the very
best.
When your pictures you are staging
go where crime is really raging
For the present you can give the
West a rest.
If you want TO make your dramas
realistic.
Get the scenes where high class
bad men meet and shoot.
Where. though lights are shining
brightly, the garroter labors
nightly,
And the burglar climbs the porch
in search of loot,
Where the foot-pad with an honest
injun sand bag
Walks his beat at fall Of night
about the Bronx,
And is never quite contented till
he's cracked or bumped or
