that she was either crazy or joking.
but when he found she was really in

gleefully: Miss Raymore took him
to one Of the large 5th avenue shops

The Story s the Thing" -"

7 1ONEL BARRYMORE. who is play
ing the title role in Boomerang
Bill" believes the story is the thing
in motion picture production.
Motion picture producers" says Mr..
Barrymore. 'have reached the point
where they resemble Capablanca and
Lasker. who played draw games of
chess in Cuba against each other for
more than a month. They both play
chess SO we'll that neither can beat
the other Technically. motion pic
ture producers are in exactly the same
position. The way out is by means
of the story. nically, there Is
nothing more to be desired from mo-
ton pictures. but where there is
plenty of room for competition and
betterment is in the stories.
"At present motion picture produc-
tions are beautifully produced, with
fine photography and some excellent
acting, but the story is often so thin
as to be unworthy of all the trouble
and expense Of the production. 1t is
just like dressing up some ugly
spinster in the latest gowns from
Paris.
Then there are some stories which
should never be screened. Because a
story makes a wonderful novel is no
reason why 1t will make a good mo-
tion picture. There are some paint
ings that require color, and to pro-
duce some stories on the screen is
just like setting an etcher to work on

Movies In Death House.

THROUGH the kindness Of Thomas
Meighan and his director, Tom
Forman. It is reported, nearly dozen
condemned convicts enjoyed the priv
ilege of seeing the first motion pic
ture ever exhibited in the death house
Of Sing Sing prison, at Ossining. N. Y,
recently.
AS the death house is small. the
machine had to be placed twelve feet
from the screen and the reels were
run of twice SO the condemn ned men
could see them through the steel
barred doors Of their cells. A bed
sheet, used as screen, was stretched
at the west end of the short corridor.
which has a row Of cells on each side.
When the reels were run of the
sheet was shifted to the east side and
the pictured story repeated.
Mr.. Meighan staged an escape scene
for his latest picture, "The City of
Silent Men," while he was at Sing
Sing, and he was SO struck with the
utter dreariness of the life of the
inmates that he asked Warden Lawes
il a motion picture projection ma
chine could be used there. The war
den said the men might see censored
pictures occasionally and the projec-
ton machine was ordered. 1t arrived
in time to give q little comfort to
many Of the men who might never
have another opportunity.
