 OYER COUNTRY ROl

BY MAYER

In those old and jazzIess days when the movies were the <aInazement and am uSement of the time one author met another author and said to him in a confidnt1al tone, Tell me, how often can you sell a. story to the movies %
 His companion looked about him to see that they weren't overheard by any stray critics, and answered. Don't repeat this, but I have been making a living from one theme for five years!"
 But the halcyon days are o'er, and likewise, past, and the author no more has an easy time disposing of old wares in the movies Something g has happened to them, and that som ething is civ:Iizing influence. and under that influence there is no place for the author who in the good old days could dispose of the same wares time and again to the screen.
 The demand has shifted from stale ness to originality and the AIaddins Of the magical moving lantern can be heard crying in the streets of the world, "Old stories for new!"
 There are various reasons for thls, says a bulletin issued by the Goldwyn Pictures corporation, which discusses the story-evolution of motion pie lures. Perhaps chief among the req sons is the fact that people got fed up with the same thing when that thing, what ever 1t is, is forced on them continuously. This is parttcu- larly true of any of the elements of entertainment-the- quality of popu- lar songs changes, for instance, from ballads to rag-time and from rag-time to jazz and from jag to the Fates only know what

Old Stories For NeW!"

A secondary reason for the course which the movie story has taken is in the exhaustion of the fields of fiction and drama; the great raid which picture producers made in those fields has exhausted the veins and original stories written directly for the screen. Samuel Go1dwyn was the first motion picture nagnate to rec ognize this, when several years ago he organized the Eminent Authors company, an organization which in- cludes Rupert Hughes, Gertrude Atherton, Mary Roberts Rinehart, Gouverneur Morris, Basil King and Leroy Scott.
 The radical premise of this organ fzation was that the author should participate in the screening of his theme. It was a common complaint among authors that the picturizations of their novels and plays never or rarely retained the spirit of the orig ina1. Under the Eminent Authors slogan. 1t was possible for the writer to take an active part in the ptctur- ization and thus insure the solvency of his. Or her, stories.
 But behind this was a bigger idea the author could do this successfully work on the lot with editor. con tinuity-writer and director-that It was also possible for the author to write directly for the screen. Ana this Is precisely what has happened.
 The success of these stories, so con- caived, had led. many other authors and writers of acknowledged talent to producing directly for the screen; sort and the day of the new story is here to stay.

Efficient Housekeeping
 By LAURA A. HERMAN.
The Housekeeper's Indoor Dress.
By LAURA A. IA


 Several of my readers have asked me to write upon the subject of the housekeeper's indoor dress. For the woman who does her own house work this question resolves itself into two heads: the work dress and the afternoon dress (1 assume that the heavy part of the days work will be done by noon-aS it should be in the home of all efficient housekeepers)- Let us consider the working costume first What color shall it be? l be- Ieve I will surprise many by my answer to this quesuon-white. To practical to choose for heavy work covered of course with an all-over gingham apron. For a white dress does not fade when one perspires from hard exercise; a white dress does not fade from frequent washings or from hangingS in the sun after washing; a white dress, when spotted, may receive applications of all kinds of acid spot-removerS which would ruin a colored dress. Yes, in the long run a white dress gives the best ser vice for hard work
 And now for the question of the afternoon frock. Here we may satisfy the primitive love of color that turks in each and every one of us. With our heavy work done, we fell justified in donning dress of the color which becomes us. and receiving our friends Or enjoying a well earned hour with a new book
 But note that l said, the color that most becomes us" We cannot all wear the same color with equal success. It takes a tiny woman, for instance, to wear one of the red-and- white checked ginghams Cred is con sidered a disturbing color, and ii worn by a stout Or tall person it is rather too much in eVidence) Pink, on the other hand, may be worn by almost anyibody-stout or thin, short or tall blonde or brunette Pink brings out the color in our cheeks and is becoming to us all Blues of all shades are particularly well or features are large; blue is con sidered a dignified, inconspicuous color And greens especially the Ereen-and-white checked Singhans or striped dimities-are chosen when a cool effect is desired; it is Natures color and it seems to carry it's cool ness with it
 most pra actica1 fabrics to choose for these indoor dresses: for moths do i not attack these materials while they \ are stored away during the winter months, and the housekeeper is sure of taking them out of her attic trunk, the following spring, ready for another three or four months of warm-weather service

TO THE LOVELORN
A FAIR WEATHER GIRL.
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
 I am going about with a younS man and we love each other dearly, but due to present business condi- tions he has not been able to fulfill his promises to me. I know it is not his fault As I am accustomed to having everything, I have been ser iously thinking of explaining mat ters to him and severing our friend ship. Kindly give me your advice.
 'FRANKIE.' '' If you want luxury more than you want this boys love, don't overes- innate your regard for him. Tell him honestly that you can't reconcile yourself to giving up the worldly things on which you heart is set To be honest with him is fairer by far than to let him idealize you.

Impressionistic Films
 Will Not Be Popular

European, inpressionfstic and fu- turistic films are not going to make impressions of the right sort on the American fans mind" says Allen Holubar, producer.
 Ho1ubar witnessed a showing of 'NThe Cabinet of Dr. CaIigari," which had been widely heralded as "impres- siouistic."
 tfFreakish" is the word I would use in describing it, says the American producer. 'Tt was weird almost be- yond imagination and while one or two pictures of that type might meet with popular approval I do not be- could possibly sway American pro- ducers' opinion toward the production Of "futuristic or .impressionistic' art.
