PROVING THAT ART IS ART
By RUPERT HUGHES.

Anything that creates a new art is good, and all the reasons that make any other art good prove that the motion picture is an art. It can do some of the things that all the other arts can do any many things that no other art can do. It occupies part of the fields of painting, sculpture, mu- sic, drama, poetry, history, philoso- phy, and all the forms of fiction. It uses all those art as helps.
 Everywhere that human sympathy or human imagination are to be ex- ercised, the moving picture opens a new world
 The great trouble with other forms of art or fiction and drama is that they have to be translated into many languages in order to eb understood except in limited field. Stories wrltten in the American language for instance, are really hard for Eng lishmen to understand So trans lation is necessary, and translation always destroys a large part of the flavor and the meaning of the orig nal. The Italian saying is, Every translator is a traitor"
 A Universal Language. ..
 People who have the time and the inclination therefore learn as many languages as they can in order to study the great masters in the orig inal In the moving picture how ever, a really universal language is spoken That few titles are used are such as can easily be translated into any other language.
 Music is said to be the universal language because nearly everybody can feel it; but the better you are as a musician the less you know what music means and the less it becomes a language Ignorant people can tell you just what any composition means. They take a work of BeethOVen's and put on it the name he never used, f"The Moonlight Sonata and then describe just what is going on. But that sort of thing made Beethoven furious. Tolstoi used Beethoven's ''Kreutzer Sonata as the basis of a novel and wrote into the music ter rife things that Beethoven never in tended In fact, Beethoven wrote that music as show piece for a successful negro violinist who refused to play it. He lated dedicated it to Kreutzer.
 Unlimited Field.
 Moving pictures, however, are language, and anybody who is inter- ested in telling a story simply denies himself an enormous audience and wonderful language if he denies him self the moving picture
 The whole art of business of tell ing stories and writing plays is a pe- culiar one. It is very easy to say that it is a silly and cheap profes- sion, but then you have to despise Shakespeare, Scott, Thackeray and giants of that sort Once you admit
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-04-16

that storytelling is, as I ahink it to be, one of the most useful, beneficial and noble of professions, it would seemonly proper that the story-teller should want to tell his story to as many people as possible. The nov ing picture offers to the story-weaver marvellous opportunities that have been only touched upon. It IS Ike the continent of North America just after the first few colonies were es- tab1ished. The field of it is unlim- ited.
 Professional Fault-F,inders.
 It is not often realized that the critics who abuse the moving picture and short stories they read. Their profession is fault-finding. It is in evitable, then, that they should find fault with the movies. Harsh cr1tl- cism will undoubtedly follow the mo- vies through eternity as it has fol- lowed all the other arts. The great est artists in all fields have always been reviled by some of the critics But criticism is only one of the hard ships every artist must endure; it is just part of the game Some Of Il is honest and helpful, most of it is peevish and silly because it is written in ignorance of conditions which the artist cannot change The critics we shall always have with us.
 But for a story-teller of any sort to keep out of the movies because they have been criticised is comes sion of cowardice- If he thinks the movies are not good enough for him he is either an ignorant snob or a stubborn jackasS. If the movies are not good enough for him let him go into them and bring them up to his own high standards
 sCome On In!''
 The camera is just as elastic and inexhaustible as the fountain pen or the typewriter. If authors do not like what comes out of the pen or the typewriter they can take up those weapons themselves in self-defense. Let the malso learn to write with the camera. The whole world is before them and the newer and finer and bigger their ideas the more welcome they will be in the field. But let them first make sure that their ideas are genuinely new and true; and not merely eccentric or fantastic
 As for myself I have worked hard in nearly all forms of expression for my own entertainment and with more financial success than have deserved. My effort no wis not to "stoop to conuuer'' the movies. but to try to climb up into the clouds of opportun- ity they offer and to practise aviation there without too many tail-spins and nOse-diveS.
 To other authors I can only say. "Come on in; the ocean is wide and deep.'

Listen, World!
By ELSIE ROBINSON.

Soul Saving has become the fash ion. It always has been popular with a certain gang, but it has only lately received government support as a legaIzed form of irritation. Now I've nothin' against the government. Only sometimes I do wish I had been born down in the South Sea Islands where you could express your person aIty unhampered along with the scorpions and other lucky insects. It's depressing responsi biltty-this being Human with a collarand a soul.
 We're supposed to watch those souls of ours as if they were incu- baItor eggs, shielding them from all drafts of naughtiness, with the g1or- ious hope of some day matching an- gels. And, lest we shouldn't watch 'em hard enough, they're appointing federal agents to help us on the job. We mustn't smoke, chew, cuss, gargle, rattle the bones, play the ponies or the Nation will plumb bust.
 And yet Say, isn't it funny. Just consider that recent affair in Europe where the SUPER SOULS went down into hell to make heaven possible, for the rest of us. Were they sanctified and agentized

There is another feature of spec ulation which abSOrbS the interest and wealth of the town- From out of it comes a large share of the comedy of the play and with a strong sense of events to come, with excitement and dash and lost faith in ones own per spicacity, for Jeff returns eventually to his former state-a plain barber, happy to be poor again He realizes that it is in this state that his great est happiness lies.
 For the interpretation of the many roles the cast being a long one, MT. Harris has placed in them such well known actors of character parts as Robert McW ade, wno has the role of Jeff; Robert Cummings, Cliff lief finger, Harry Hammin, Harold Yer nlilyea, Norman Lane. Leonard lde, Frank Sylvester. Henry Duggan, Els camilla Fernandez. Norman Houston, BIance Friderici, Gladys Gilbert and Mary Wolfe.

CHAPTER CCIV

CCL1N. When left Phoebe hailed a taxi and set off post-haste to my apart ments. had a p1an-a forlorn hope-but a plan nevertheless.
 As we drove through the streets an- other taxi swung out of a side street and passed, heading downtown. l felt the eyes of the occupant flash furtively over my face. Then traffic was signalled to stop and turned to look back after the taxi, whose hind wheels had almost grazed those of my cab. And again, furtively, I saw the tiny window sliding down. On the hand that pulled it flashed the dia- mond solitaire Neal had given Evvy. deeply in my mind. It couldn't fail It mustn't fail. Something in the furtiveness with which Evvy avoid ed me made me more than ever bit terly certain that marriage with her held nothing but unhappiness for Neal.
 Once at home I called Father An drew's store by the long distance tel ephone. It was a thousand miles away. My voice must wing over space and might fail perhaps to con- vey the message wanted it ito bear. But one word would be filled with meaning as it dropped into NeaIs ears. I was going to ask him to bring back with him the cfrclet of dia- monds Father Andrew had given our frail little mother.
 I was going to ask Neal to bring back the pledge he had given Phoebe the token Virginia had returned when he was at camp.
 Neal had never told me that he had left that at home in Father Andrews safe-deposit box, but I was sure he hadn't touched it since the day it had come to Shatter his hopes. l was going to make him touch it now-if could But even if he refused to touch it was going to force him to 711,I, r G1
 But I planned without due allow ance for the time it takes to make a long-distance connection. put in my call as my enamel desk clock chined the ha1f-hour after four. For an hour I struggled to have the call hurried through. At a little after six I had to yield to the reiterated "They don't answer" By that time it was likely to be true.
 At six Father Andrew closes the store and goes home to supper Three nights a week he opens the store again from seven to ten. But this wasn't one of his nights for the store- And he has no telephone in our little home.
 By tomorrow it might be too late. Neal had been gone nearly a week. He might be returning any day now So composed telegram and sent It out over the wires at once.
 It was to Neal-in care of Father Andrew And I sent another to the dear, deIicate-ninded father who would never dream of opening even 2. telegram addressed to someone else.
 The first, addressed to Neal, read:

FASHIONGRAMS.

Smart gloves are becoming more and more fancifu1. One model of gray duvetyne is made with a deep cuff, which buttons on to the cuff of the suit. Another model made of dark gray doeskin is trimmed with black stitching and black silk fringe on the gauntlet part, which is fasten- ed with a row of large black buttons. Still another model of doeskin has three sca11oped f1ounces The f1ounces are e1a.boratelv cut and embroidered on the edges with silver embroidery. Gfrd1es and bracelets of flowers are the very latest things designed to please Dame Fashion.
 The headdress assumes a place of vast importance in the seasons fash ions Every frock dem ands it's own headdreSs. Not the least charming of the new styles is a headdress made of a band of silver tissue with a large black ostrich feather falling at the back. Another charming model makes use of a band of black velvet trimmed with gold applique.

 Quite soI'' said he, a little nettled. Every prob1em becomes very child ish when once it is explained to you. Here is an unexplained one. See what you can make of that, friend Watson He tossed sheet of paper upon the table, and turned once more to his chemical analysis.

No they cussed, they fought, they reeked with smoke and gore and hate and ether pleasant odors whenever they could get 'en-they spent their chances of future salvation as if they were pennies in a crap game and then they went over the top like devils unIoosed- And what happened?
 Out of the grine and filth and un- counted risk, from the bodies of a bleeding, rocking, swearing, unwash- ed mob, there rose the HOSTS OF GoD-heroes such as the world has never seen-ange1s with flaming swords to save the world for de- cency.
 So you never can tell. But I'll bet you this-when the last trump sounds and some of those Expert Soul Savers drop in at the check room to collect their souls, bet they'll get something handed to them that looks like dried up pollywog.
