Oh Pshaw Strikes A Blow For Movies

While George Bernard Shaw has not yet joined with Arnold Bennett H. G. Wells, Sir James M. Barrie, Sir Gilbert Parker and other British men of letters in writing original nhotoplays for Paramount, his atti- jude toward pictures is by no means hostile.
 Much of the objection to films, he thinks. is by persons who condemn without seeing the pictures they ob- ject to.
 q am glad that the police have at last testified to the civilizing influence of pictures" said MT. Shaw recently "I was once invited to conference of eminent persons. including the headmaSter of a famous public school, for the purpose of checking the all legged pernicious effects of the Idnema on the youth of the country. l heard the eminent persons speak with sin cere horror of the immoraiities of the picture theatre.
 Morals Are Conventional
 "I asked where the immoral films were to be seen, as I had visited kinemas in many European countries, and had found their morals oppres- sively conventional, as might be eX- pected from entertainments when have to be presentable to audiences or all classes and races, appearing sim uItaneously in cathedral towns and
 
 urban east-ends.
 'EThe eminent persons were un- speakably shocked at my assuming that they had actually seen what they were denouncing, or that they had ever been in a picture palace in their lives. Besides myself there was only one man present who spoke from per sonal experience of the pictures; and he was the master of a, school for de- fective children in a very poor neigh borhood. He testified eioquently to the value of the picture palaces as a refuge from the streets for chIl- dren who had to be locked out while their mothers were out working.
 RestlessneSS Is Hopeful
 What other chance have such children of seeing weIl-dressed peo- ple in handsome houses, behaving themselves courteously? If it makes them discontented with squalor and poverty and savage manners, so much the better.
 .'Such restIessness is far more hopeful socially than gambling. cruelty to animals, and theft, which are the alternative settlements offer ed by the pious people who would have them banished from the mov- ieS"

ARE MOVIE BOOKS REAL?

When is a book not a book?
 When it's Il motion picture studio.
 In the old days of the nickolet a bookcase witb>( volumes painted on canvas did very well for a library scene Nowadays real books are usually used for photographic pur- poses.
 But since would cost thousands or dollars to provide real books with printed pages for general - use, the property man of one motion picture studio has devised an ngenous scheme whereby books may appear to be books and not be books at all. For stock books, which are used in gen eral scenes, only the backs are used and the inside is of wood.
 When it is necessary to show "close-ups' of books only real books can be used.
 Reading matter from "A Pilgrim s Progress to The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is n evidence. The entire field of literature is represent ed. Law, fiction, drama, and travel are in the list.
 Three classes of books used gen. orally in the making of motion pie lures are the stock book, with the wooden contents; a Semi-Stock book, with only a few pages of type and the remainder blank pages; and the real book itself.

TODAY'S INSTALMENT.
IT., Munro went on:

MI. Welt OI.
 ''I am usually an extremely sound sleeper. It has been a standing jest in the family that nothing could ever wake me during the night And yet whether it may have been the slight excitement produced by my little ad- venture or not know not, but I slept much more lightly than usual. Half in my dreams I was dimly conscious that something was going on in the room, and gradually became aware that my wife had dressed herself and was slipping on her mantle and her bonnet. My lips were parted to mur- nur out some sleepy words of sur prise or Eemonstrance al this untimely preparation when suddenly my half opened eyes fell upon her face, il- astonishment held me dumb. She wore an expression such as I had never seen before-such as I should have thought her incapable of assun-
 ing. She was dead1 ypale and breath ing fast, glancing furtively towards the bed as she fastened her mantle to see if she had disturbed me. Then, thinking that I was still asleep, she an instant later I heard a sharp creaking which could only come from the hinges of the front door. I sat up in bed and rapped my knuckles against the rail to make certain that was truly awake. Then I took my watch from under the pillow. It was three in the morning. What on this earth could my wife be doing out on the country road at three in the morning?
 .I had sat for about twenty minutes turning the thing over in my mind and trying to find some possible ex- plantation. The more I thought, the more extraordinary and ,inexp1icabIe did it appear. I was still puzzling over it when I heard the door gently close again, and her footsteps coming up the stairs.
 Where in the world have you been, Effie?' asked as she entered ''She gave a violent start and a kind of gasping cry when I spoke, and that cry and start troubled me more than all the rest, for there was something indescribably guilty about them. My wife had always been woman of a frank, open nature, and it gave me a
 chill to see her sinking into her own | room, and crying out and wincing
 when her own husband spoke to her. ".You awake, Jack!' she cried, with a nervous laugh. Why, I thought 1 that nothing could awake you -. Where have you been?' I asked more sternly.
 "T won't wonder that you are sur prised,' said she, and I could see that her fingers were trembling as she un- did the fastenings of her mantle. | Why, I never remember having done such a thing in my life before. The fact is that felt as though I were ] choking. and had a perfect longing

the better as far as skirts are con cerned. Over iE Paris a famous de- signer has said with certainty that this is the whole truth. and declares that his own country-woman no less
 than the fair Americaipe likes lines
 that are straight, but at the same
 time soft enough to blend with the
 lines of her figure without entirely
 disgusting them.
 The lace frock is a panacea for many evils, and when as a foundation it has been given chiffon the combina- ton is quite irresistible. Of course with such an exquisite creator milady
 would wear a picture hat, and on the latter it is more than passing hazard that she would prefer a graceful plume.
 Speaking of hats, they will be as gay as the colors of the season in which they are to serve Grass green, yellow of the dafodil, geranium, red, purple of the iris, sky blue, flaming scarlet of the sunset, soft mauve mist of the early morn, copies from
 natures own pastels, and paintings will be the chapeaux of the maids of spring.
 As for shapes, here reason reels and the pen refuses to function. Suf-

for a breath of fresh air I really think that should have tainted if I had not gone out. I stood at the door for a few minutes, and now I am quite myself again
 'tA11 the time that she was telling me this story she never once looked in my direction, and her voice was quite unlike her usual tones. It was evident to me that she was saying what was false. I said nothing in re- ply, but turned my face to the wall sick at heart, with my mind filled with thousand venomous doubts and suspicious. What was it that my wife was concealing from me? Where had she been during that strange expedi- tion? I felt that I should have no peace until I knew, and yet I shrank from asking her again after once she had told me what was false. All the rest of the night I tossed and tum- bled, framing theory after theory, each more unlikely than the last.
 tI should have gone to the City that day, but was too disturbed in my mind to be able to pay attention to business matters. My wife seemed to be as upset as myself, and I could see from the little questioning glances which she kept shooting at me that she understood that I disbelieved her statement, and that she was at her wits end what to do. We hardly ex- changed a word during breakfast and immediately afterwards I went out for a walk, that I might think the matter out in<the fresh morning air
 "I went as far as the Crystal Pal acc, spent an hour in the grounds, and was back in Norbury by one o'clock It happened that my way took me past the cottage, and I stopped for an instant to look at the windows, and to see if I could catch a glimpse of the strange face which had looked out at me on the day be- fore As stood there, imagine my surprise MT.
