BY Harriette Underhill

Charles Cherry seemed TO be studi-
cusly avoiding as and we couldn't
understand 10 unless IL was that he
had seen US somewhere and had taken
dislike TO us, as we so often do with
people. This seemed strange, however,
for we havs not an inferiority COM
plex snd we always expect every one
to like us. AS we learned later, that
was just the trouble with Mr.. Cherry.
He has one Of those complexes and he
Is afraid of interviewers. That is the
form it takes.
He confded this much to US as we
stood in the door Of his dressing room
watching him dress for the matinee,
al alone. His Wallets wife very un-
considerably got appendicitis stimuli
taneously with the opening of "The
Tyranny Of Love" and Friend Husband
had to rush to her bedside. AS though
it wasn't bad enough to have to open
cold in new play, fate had decresd
that Mr.. Cherry must be In all of his
spare moments on the trail of a new
valet and that an importunate inter
viewer would as all other times be on
his trail.
There ara two kinds of interviews:
the ones you are asked to get and the
ones you want to get. Our present vic
tim was OF our own choosing, hence our
enthusiasm. The night that "The Tyr
amy Of Love" opened at the Cort
Theater we were out in front enjoy
ing every line of it. 1t isn't the sort
Of play where you anticipate or specu-
late between the acts :.s to the final
outcome; you just enjoy each line. 1t
is triangle play, but neither one of
the men wants TO kill the other and the
wife doesn't call herself a chattel and
say she wants to live her own life. We
fancy her husband wished that she
would.
After the first act we met the man
who adapted the play and presented 1t,
the man who staged it, the man who
exploits it and counts UP the money.
The first two looked worried; the last
one looked happy, and it was to him
that we intrusted our message to.
Charles Cherry. "Tell him." we said,
"that we should like to interview him
after the performance is over, or per-
haps you had better say that we have
consented TO interview him. 1t sounds
more important" But it seems that
Mr.. Cherry was not at all impressed
with the honor about to be conferred
on him, for he sent back word that he
would love to see US only he was so
nervous on opening night that if he
lived through the play he would be q
total wreck afterward. We were once
on the stage ourself and we know
what stage fright is! 1t feels like a
cross between NAL de mer and pneu-
monia, so we said that we would be at
the theater before the matinee on
Wednesday, and when Wednesday came
there we were. We arrived at the
theater even before our victim and
when he got there he found as wait
ing at his dressing room door.
The man who counts up the money
told us that he was probably late be-
cause he wasn't feeling we'll, but we
found out that it was because he
stopped to buy new pair Of platinum
cuff links on the way to the theater.
Mr.. Cherry looked so surprised when
New-York tribune., 1921-05-08
A Picture Expert Deplores
The Voice i'm Silent Drama

70 the Dramatic Editor Of The Tribune:
An item in The Tribune one day
last week, which was more interest
ing to us than the threatened invasion
OF Germany or the latest phase Of
the latest front page divorce scan
dial, was the report that "Dream
Street" would be made to talk.
Along with many others, we fought
our way into the Town Hall, because
we were going to cheer, with no idea
whatever Of remaining to jeer. We
didn't even stay until the picture was
over, SO we were not among those who
jeered.
Now there Is nothing new in talking
movies. We have heard the trap-drum-
mer at the Rivoli make Mutt and JEFF
talk, and mora, have heard their
thoughts expressed Enthusiastically with
the quavering note of some sort of
funny whistle or the deep rumble of
tympani. And q long time ago, when
We were writing slapstick half-reel
comedies and paying nickel to see
them we remember talking movies
which were interesting chiefly because
Of the excitement in pulling, mentally,
fer she characters to catch up with the
phenograph or vice versa.
But if they are going to start the
thing again and achieve success we
venture to prophesy that it is going
to be abused, as every advance In pic
ture-making has been abused.
Griffith originated the cut-back for
purpose--the building of suspense
and story interest, as well as the clari-
tying Of certain situatiops--and pic
ture-makers took up the device blindly,
cutting back at any time and any place
in story. Film editors are doing il
to-day.
Then some one discovered that most
points could be got over to an audience
with the least rupture of illusion by
tho use Of spoken sub-tities, or title
representing dialogue. Film editors
accordingly use spoken sub-titles be-
cause they think it is the right thing
TO do and so clutter up pictures with
banalities. They will insert, "Tell him
that / will be right down as soon as
finish this letter" when the action may
nos only put over all of this, but stimu-
late the imagination into grasping
more than the words on the screen
ever would convey.
And now it ia reasonable to suppose
that all spoken titles soon will be
