SCREEN DEMANDS
NEW ACTING ART,
ASSERTS MOROSCO
BY OLIVER NIOROSCO

winch requires more of the actor
w the screen or the stage? With the
growing discrimination between acting
and action. l believe that the searching
rays of the projecting machine demand
finer artistry than the glare of the foot
lights. The screen actor has more to
''gct over"
The contcmptuous estimate of the
younger art is softening under the intel
ligence being applied to the screen
drama. Admitting that "panning pic
lures" is still a popular pastimc, much
in the same fashion that the automobile
was the conventional joke, the silent
drama is unacniably making rapid
strides. ut should: there is room for
Improvement is an obvious retort.
Granting this, too, the fact remains
that it is.
Pictures. relying so much upon me-
chanics, have progressed only as the
science of photography, electrical light
ing and physical arrangement permitted.
Years have been spent in developing the
tools of the art. 1t Is natural, there
fore. that there should have been a
striving for spectacle and effects" to
the neglect of the drama itself.
But today the pictures are swinging
back to the 'stOry' with dramatic val
ues given their proper relations in the
progressive pyramiding. And to Wis
ualize the drama, a new school of acting
and direction is coming to the screen.
The first idea that there must be ac-
ton. action, action is giving way to the
| demand for acting, acting and still bet =
ter acting.
We see n new subtcty instead of
obvious pantomimc. More confidence is
reposed in the audiences mentality be-
cause the picture makers themselves
have more confidence in their own abil-
ity to portray instead of diagram.
GOOD picture quality stories arc the
~ kcenest need of the screen.
The so called 'scrcen literature" may
not have kept pace with the development
Of the mechanical and acting branches
! believe that the expansion of stage
/ plays of the right sort come the nearest
to the solution at present,
This has been proved by the notable
successes based upon adaptations and
the remarkably high prices that have
been paid for picture rights to foot
! light classics.
But this does not mean that the
screen must follow the stage. A proof
of this is that "Slippy McGce," which
we have been filming in the natural set
tings at NatchcZ, Miss. may reach the
East before the stage play, which has
been seen only on the Coast so far.

CARRULOUS GARRY
SAYS BEN TURPN
ISSTAR OF STARS
BY HELEN kLUNIPH

HSOMEBODY told me the other
~ day" Garry announced. her eyes
flashing with anger, that Wallace
Reid was the most popular man in the
novice
"And suppose you defended the title
for Dick Barthclmess," l offered.
She looked at me coldly, as though
she despaired of me, too, losing my
senses.
"Of course. they're both awfully pop
ular,' she admitted. but when you re
talking about the most popular. climi-
mating Charlie Chaplin. of course, as
sure winner. you have to give first hon
Ors to Ben Turpin. Why he's much the
most popular star. Just go to any the
atre where one of his pictures is show
ing and see if the audience doesn't all
but rise from their seats to cheer him.
The funniest thing / ever heard
about Ben Turpin happened just yes
terday. a club of women who had never
written or acted or anything, but who
admitted that they knew just how to
uplift the drama, gave luncheon at
which the guest of honor was a famous
woman writer.
ssTNHEY talked about the>inner mean
l. ing of this play. and the symbolic
significance of that until she got so
bored that she could hardly stand it.
They had just begun to rave about Jo-
seph Schildkrout's performance of Ii
lion they probably wouldn't have
raved about him if they'd known that
he acted in movies, too-when the guest
of honor got so bored that she felt she
couldn't stand it any longer.
When the woman next to her asked
her who she considered the greatest
actor in America, she answered frankly
and Immediately, Ben Turpin. The
woman pretended at first that she had
never heard of him. but later that after
neon when the guest of honor passed
her house she saw the woman's two
young sons out in the front yard play
ing, and what do you suppose they
were doing"
"Wtat?" demanded.
Initiating Ben Iurpin, of course"
Garry replied.

then they take on their aprons and
