BY JAMES W. DEAN

NEW YORK-One may disagree
with Cecil DeMille's idea about the
art OF the screen since his butchery
OF "The Admirable Crichton" and
s.The Affairs Of Anatol."
However. one must agree that De-
Mile has certain definite ideas about
his business. that he has given that
business much serious thought
which has resulted in many ~innova-
tons now in common usage by all
directors.
SO what he has to say of the art of
the cinema is worth more than pass
ing interest.
because it can and does embrace
ell the other arts. the motion picture
is destined to be just as many times
az great as there are separate arts"
DeMille says. THE seven arts
which go to make the motion picture
are making 1t seven times as great
as anyone of them. That is the ar
.istic destiny of the screen"
DeAIille outlines the usages of the
seven arts in the making of photo
plays as follows:
DRAMA: The p%hotoplay is primar-
lily dramatic entertainment. 1t has
already developed a dramatic form
as distinctive as that which required
several hundred years to develop for
the stage.
PAINTING: The photoplay is also
essentially pictorial. 1t is in itself
q picture and makes use of the art
OF painting 20 enhance its W
beauty.
ARCHITECTURE: 1t plays its
part In the staging of ~photodrama.
Before many years the screen will
boast of a school of architecture and
painting all its own.
SCULPTURE: 1t serves as an aid
IN scenic matters. Sculptors of mer-
It are already engaged in modelling
for the screen.
THE DANCE: It long ago found a
place on the screen.
MUSIC: Valuable accessory both
during production and exhibition. 1t
Is valuable as an atmospheric aid to
screen players. We may soon have
scores composed expressly for each
picture.
aside from the art needs of the
screen, the tremendous possibilities
of the motion picture as a medium
for carrying artistic ideas is attract
ing the great artists Of the world"
DeMille asserts. Eventually the
screen will claim the greatest artists
b every line of endeavor."
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-10-18
'.Photoplay Is Greater
Than Any Other Art"

l quite agree with DeNIille about
the screen eventually claiming the
greatest artists in every line of en-
deavor. After one has become re-
cognized as an artist. art is not per-
formed for arts sake alone. And the
phOtoplay producers have greater
resources 10 pay for art than others
who offer markets TO artists.
Lady Godiva." Tennyson's poem,
has been filmed in Europe and will
be exhibited in America. Ii prob
ably was screened abroad because
so many of our stars have bobbed
hair. If you remember the story Of
the horseback ride the lady took,
you'll gather what I mean.
Marshall Neilan advances the
suggestion that the episode picture.
such as his recent "Bits Of Life"
will open the market for amateur
scenario writer's.
The amateur writer is usually able
to evolve only enough action for a
two reel film Neilan says. and thus
a feature that would include several
such stories would afford a writer's
market and a novelty for screen
audiences.
There IS merit IN Neilan's idea.
There would be more merit to some
of the feature plays written by pro-
fessionai scenario writer's II they
confined their stories to two reels.

MANY NEGROES OF CITY ASKING HELP
Long Line of Them Daily in the City Hall for
 Relief

All along the hallway, down the stairs and seated about on the floor below, stretched line of negroes yesterday morning in the city hall some seeking work and others apply ing for food for themselves and fami lies There were more than 150 ap- plicants.
 Hot and tired, the workers of the municipal department of relief did what they could for the unemployed There was not much breeze blowing and the day was hot At times the atmosphere about the department was poignantly oppressive.
 There was little of the usual ban ter and testing among the darkies quietly, patiently they stood or sat hoping for relief from penury and it's results.
 As fast as the applicants could be handled the workers attended to their wants, but to workers and ap- plicants the task seemed intermin' able; hopelessly the negroes at the far end of the line would look al the long array before them, and all most, or, rather. more hopelessly, the workers would glance up to scar the ever lengthening line.
 This is but a fair sample of the daily routine" was the statemen, made in Dr. Walter S. Browns office
 There were few white people seer asking help.

Commission ContempIates Improving Sanitary System
 in Business Section

Commissioner H. P. Burruss urged the board of city commission CTS at its meeting yesterday morn ing to disregard the expectation of lower prices for sewer material that the next years market might hold out, and to take steps as soon as
 practicable for sanitary sewer i'm
 provement in the business district
 that would relieve the present con
 gestion.
 He asked that the city engineer be instructed to compile the necessary data on which the board could act It was stated the city engineer had practically completed the compila- ton of the necessary report. Commissioner John R. Hornady said the work was of great impor- tance, and should be given prompt attention. Other members of the board agreed with the commissioners who spoke on the subject, and the engineer was authorized to make a complete report on the cost of con structing a supplementary sanitary sewer system for the business dis trict of the city.

Automobiles Needed
 for Investigation of
 Applicants for Relief

Birmingham people who can do without their automobile for an hour or so longer each day are urged to communicate with Dr. Walter S. Brown. head of the City Relief and Correction department. who says automobiles are badly needed for the investigators to respond to the calls for help from the needy in this dis trict.
 Dr. Brown says that several auto . mobiles were promised him yesterda 7 but that all of them failed to appear and that the work was badly ham, pered on this account. He says 1t Is almost impossible to investigate a call for help and then come back to town and then make another trip back there on the street car with the necessary supplies without talk ing up nearly a day.
 Those who can lend their automo- piles for few hours today are urged to call Dr. Brown this morning al Main 65S6 or else apply at the third floor of the city hall building.

W. H. Manly, captain of one of the teams of the Exchange club. yester- day received s206 from Chief S. A. Middleton, who helped in collecting the funds among the city firemen. Some days ago the Exchange club team, of which ". H. Manly, Lloyd St. John Smith and Frank B. Clark were members, called at the fire de- partment, but learned that the work was already under way. Chief Mid dleton stated that the firemen would finish the collecting and would send in the money.

Newton on two previous occasions sent in s10, which he stated was money he ordinarily would have spent in purchasing flowers for the funeral of friends. The largest con tributions yesterday were from E. J. Smyer and M. P. Phillips, which came through the Highlands Methodist church. Each of them gave $50. Mir, Smyer had previously made a dona- ton of $50, but after hearing the talk of the pastor, Dr. w. R. Hendrix. Sunday, he made an additional con tribution. R. A. Walker sent a check for s25 yesterday.
 A large number of the churches took up collections for the aid of the unemployed Sunday, but thus far only few have made even partial reports. The Sunbeams of the South side Baptist church yestefSay sent

JURISDICTION OF STATE OR FEDERAL
 COURT INVOLVED
Express Company Seeks to Restrain Order of Alabama Public Service CommiS-
 sion Before Court

Arguments on the petition of the American Railway Express company asking for an injunction restraining the order of the Alabama Public Service commission. permitting the Southeastern Express company to ac- cept express destined for all railroads in Alabama on which the American Railway Express operates, will be heard before the United States Cir cult Court of Appeals, which will meet in the Federal building this morning at 10 o'clock.
 A short time ago the South eastern Express company, which operates only on the Southern and Mobile and Ohio railroads, petitioned the public ser vice commission to permit 1t to accept tli express regardless of where orig mating of consigned and without re- gard to the American Railway Ex- press lines. The other company of- fered compromise of interchanging express where such could be done without inconvenience.
 The commission granted the full request of the Southeastern without the compromise. The American Rail way Express then petitioned the United States court to restrain the or der of the public service commits sion. The case is said to be of i'm portance because 1t concerns the right of the state commission to grant such an order.
 The judges sitting on the case to- day will be Judge Rufus Foster, of Louisiana, Judge Henry D. Clayton or Montgomery, and Judge Richard w. Wallace of Huntsville. The hear. ing will be heard before the crc,St court or appeals instead of before the regular district court because there is said to be some question as to whether the case should come m. der the Jurisdiction of the state or federal courts

GRUMBLES BECAUSE
 GOOD DRINK COSTS
 HIM WHOLE DOLLAR

Apparently suffering from the heat. judging from his recent ex- perience, young man of the "yet to be shaved" age. walked into police headquarters yesterday afternoon and explained that he had just been frisked out of . dollar.
 The desk sergeant yawned, scratched his head and asked for the details.
 A woman gave me a drink and then beat me out of my money, cried the youth.
 The police hurried to their feet. Such things were not to go un- needed in their city. They went to the house which the youth pointed out to them. They had the necessary search warrant and everything.
 But after searching the house from one end to the other, they failed to find even the smell of any liquor.
 One of the officers turned to the still excited young fellow to inquire If he was sure they were in the right house.
 Goodness yes" he exclaimed.
 "A woman sitting on the side walk in front of the house in vited me in to have a drink. It was good, I'll admit, but after having invited me, she went and charged me a dollar for the -drink."
 It was too much. One of the policemen just couldn't hold him self. The youth is probably blush ing yet.

MODIFY ORDINANCE, SAYS DR. BOWLING
Health Officer Comments on Statement Attributed to the
 City Attorney

Regarding Birmingham's sanitary ordinance, now held in abeyance by injunction, pr. J. D. Bowling, health officer for the city and county, yes terday said he would be perfectly willing to see such parts of 1t that could not be approved by the courts stricken from the ordinance, or so modified thatsthey could be approved.
 Referring to a recent published d statement attributed to the city at torney. Dr. Bowling said
 The mutterings of the city attor- ney and his denial of the existence of state of affairs that has been apparent and well known to those ir a position to observe may best be characterized as a smoke screen
 Few people will concern them selves as to such opinions as the city attorney and health officer may hold of each other. nor are they like ly to be interested to know the es- innate which each places upon the services of the other.
 "The public in general. though. has right to, and indeed is very apt to, take notice of actual results produced and progress made by each in their several capacities in the con- duct of the publics business.
 ITO say the. least. it is reassuring and most encouraging to note such prompt reaction on the part of the city's legal advisor to the stimulus afforded by the intimation contained in a recent newspaper story"
