Sing Sing has written moving pic
ture scenario which is supposed really
to thell the actual story Of "why Boys
Go Wrong" He's only boy himself,
who barely escaped the electric chair
for having killed a companion in q
fight. The picture starts with Just
kids" They are trying to play. And
there is no room for them, no place
for games Of any kind. Petty crime,
beginning with knocking a baseball
through a window, comes in to take
the place left vacant by the playless
condition. And on, until one of the
boys becomes one Of the Grey Broth
erhood; It's a kind Of propaganda for
city play grounds, butlits fact In spite
of that.
All around Times Square the rum
ors are being verified that the moving
picture managers are doing away with
the extremes Of the star system. One
producer has declared himself as hav-
ing dispensed with it entirely and per-
manently. Tyranny of the stars them
selves; the large part Of their success
which is built up partly through hun
dreds of thousands of advertising dol
lars spent by the producers, who find
themselves deserted when better Of
fers come along; and the success of
pictures done without airy star about
the place. are given as the reasons.
New York Kentuckians have taken
up the matter of helping to save the
real "Old Kentucky Home" of Stephen
c. Foster. 1t is 100 acre farm, known
as Federal Hill. and 1t was there that
the famous Foster songs were written.
Natives of Kentucky living in all parts
of the country are going to join in the
campaign.
The success of "Debura," the latest
Belasco production, is interesting the
theater world, because of the unusual
assumption that American audiences,
at least New York audiences, don't
like blank verse. The whole play is
written not only in blank verse, but
not always in such awfully good verse
at that. 1t has brought forward new
Belasco star, Lionel Atwill, who has
taken his place among the brightest
luminaries.
