What C. C. Burr Thinks
Of Foreign Made Films

That the fight against tho importa.
ton and exhibition Of German-made
motion pictures, the opening gun of
which was recently fired, is shortly
to develop into decisive battle. there
is every indication.
Z. e. Burr, of the Master Films
says: II believe that there exists not
one American producer who does not
welcome competition-be it from what
source 1t may. We are willing to match
cur artistry and our mechanical skill
with all comers, regardless of the place
of their origin-but on fair basis
e, dollar for dollar of production
costs. Any one familiar with the types
OF German propaganda so skilfully de-
signed and used throughout the war,
can easily recognize the postwar brand
now being very efficiently conveyed in
new type of vehicle.
Having so far and successfully
prostituted our screen it may be ex-
pected that the next production will
attack other Of our allies - Italy or
Belgium. Certainly, neither of these
will be overlooked or neglected in, the
German scheme Of things. Then after
these and other masterpieces have
been sold in the United States, the
Germans will probably offer for South
American consumption production
vferein thia countrv will ba oL;If,ll~
knitted and held up to ridicule.
"It is reported that the German
manufacturers have available for ex-
port to this country over two hundred
productions. The imported films, in
these instances, are but industrial
c!rbs. The plans for their effective use
have been skilfully drawn. The op-
erations extend over period of years
ond the finale is about to be witnessed.
"That these foreign productions will
be shown is certain. All of the great
power of these organizations will be
concentrated upon the exhibitor, and it
will be brave but probably foolhardy
one who will refuse to buy and play
them.
'I make the suggestion" concluded
Mr.. Burr, "and intend doing it with
ell Of my future productions, that in
dependent producers affix an insert in
their main titles, Immediately after the
main title, reading. AN Independent
and All-American Production"

ssBirth Of a Nation''
Will Be Revived at
The Capitol Theater

'The Birth Of Nation" the D. w.
Grifith spectacular film based on "The
Clansman," IL shown at the Capitol
Theater this week, beginning to-day.
Virtually new generation Of theater-
goers has grown up since this spectacle
was first produced. Patrons of the
picture theater who were present at
tho introduction Of the first spectacle
Of the American screen will be inter-
ested to sec that time has dimmcd none
Of It's genius. An original overture, =
music interlude, new interpretative
score and house decorations will accen-
tuate the dramatic value of the produc-
tion. M
The delicate Characterization. the
broad and sweeping conception, the
gigantic scale of production which pro-
claimed Griffith the master of directors
appeals as strongly and powerfully to-
day as it did SIX years ago. Though
tho screen spectacle has grown 30
quickly that statistics in six figures
no longer startle, the magnitude Of
''The Birth Of = Nation is still worthy
oH note. The play contains 5000 scenes
and presents 1900 actors and 5000
horses, cost 100000 for actual produc-
tion expense and took eight months to
produce. The production of the Ku-
Klux rides commandeered q county for
: day and cost 10000. It was in this
production that night photographic Of.
battle scenes was invented and per-
4ected.
Grifith's genius In selecting his casts
has been given prophetic demonstra-
tion. Virtually every member Of tbs
cast of "The Birth Of Nation" holds
or has held position in the ranks of
screen celebrities as star or director.
Among these are Henry Walthall,
Miriam Cooper, Mae Marsh, Ralph
lewis Lillian Gish, Wallace Reid.

Song of the Curtain
By PIN, Penelope and
Laura Hope Crews

Laura Hope Crews, who plays the
part Of Olivia Marden in "Mr. PIN
Passes By" which the Theater Guild is
presenting at Henry Miller's Theater
says that if she believed in reincarna-
tion she would feel sure that back in
the beginning of the world she was
Penelope. That Greek lady, it will be
remembered, used to sit and weave all
day and then at night would ravel out
all that she had done. Miss Crews
doesn't weave, it is true. Times have
changed since Ulysses was the most
famous sailor in the world. But Miss
Crews does sew and sew and then sew
some more-and then she carefully
pulls out all heSstitches. That is be-
cause great deal of the story of "Mr.
PIN Passes By" has to do with some
futuristic curtains on which Mrs. Mar
den is working. Now, obviously, after
time those curtains would be covered
with stitches, and to prevent that the
| threads have to be pulled out after the
curtains Qn the play) have gone up
and tha curtain (of the STACEY has
come down.
II really sew those curtains every
night" says Miss Crews, "and if I do
say it myself I sew them very we'll. I
was taught the use of a needle when
was little girl and something in me
(perhaps memory of the praise and
candy used to get as a little girl
when l had made neat, even stitches)
Will not let me do them slovenly. I
sew them just as carefully as If they
were to hang in my own apartment,
although 1 know that after the per-
formance all the stitches will come
out.
1T really would be interesting to
know just how much I have sewed
since Mr.. Pim' opened. AS we have
played it about seventy-ive times now.
I'm sure 1 must have sewed miles by
this time. If there were any contri-
vance resembling speedometer which
computes sewing I'd buy one. 1t might
make an interesting story to know just
how many stitches had taken. And
as Mr.. Pim' seems destined to pass by
for long timc to come / might find
that held some kind of q record. AS
it is, doubt if anybody except Pencil
ope (and she lived SO long ago, if at
all, that she shouldn't county has ever
put in quite so many stitches only to
pull them out"

MARKET AWAITING
TAX LEGISLATION
Uncertainty Manifested Also
Due to Delay in Funding OF
R. R. Obligations.

NEW YORK, August 20--Financial
markets this week failed to keep
pace with the brighter business out
look reported by competent observers
Stocks of the better class were barely
steady. while many OF the speculative
groups displayed greater weakness.
Public interest again was almost
wholly lacking and no support from
that quarter is looked for until Con-
gress makes known ITS attitude re-
garding the funding of railroad obli-
cations and the proposed tax revision
program assumes concrete form.
Bonds and Capital Issues Active.
There was a fair demand for bonds
and several new capital issues were
readily absorbed. in the main, how
ever, the inrestn at inquiry was
limited 10 rails, and some OF the bet
ter known foreign fotations, Liberty
issues rejecting further liquidation.
Conditions in the basic industries
again were exerpl!hed by he further
wage cut by The United states Steel
Corporation. Independent manufac-
turers increased their output on lower
price schedules. but lie average Of
production was estimated at below
25 Per cent

steel and iron. notably equipments,
production continued at low ebb
Motor, oil, rubber, tobacco. sugar and
paper shares were among the many
low recurds Of the week. Heaviness
Of mail order issues testified to the
light purcha sing power among the
farming element.
Best Rate ON Gail Loans, l." Pet.
Large sums OF money came into the
local market from the interior, but
the best open rate for call loans was
512 per cent. Time loans extending
beyond sixty days were mainly re-
stricted to commercial projects on
prime collateral.
Uncertainty continued to mark the
course of foreign exchanges Local
rates were governed almost entirely
by London, where conflicting reports
arose regarding the retention OF the
bank rate. Unsettlement of Dutch
ana scandinavian exchanges was
popularly ascribed to heavy selling at
those centers of German marks.
Features Of the Trading.
Bond dealings today were nominal,
with an irregular tone. the Liberty
group and most other prominent
issues easing slightly where any
changes occurred at all. Sales (par

and discounts of about $39 200, 900 was
