Movies Inspiration To Dramatist, Says Playwright

Edward Knoblock, well-known S dramatist, who has given up writing !. for the stage, to write for the screen, Recently unburdened himself concern ing the difficulty of writing for the silver sheet.
 Mfr. Knohiocg is net at all pessimis- tic over the labor before him, and he stage will take an occasional play from the screen just as the screen takes an occasional one from the stage,
 s-Turn about is fair play,' says he. ssWin the stage play of the future be taken from the screen the screen play has geen taken from the stage so often in the past?" continued ; MT, Knoblock-
 would prefer to answer the question thus:
 Hereafter, in the making of stage { screen drama there will be a mu-
 exchange of ideas. From each
 other will take much. And each
 be of material and mutual assist 1 e to the other.
 The time has gone forever when
 stage only gives to the screen and
 eives nothing in return. With producers of motion pictures in
 ing authors to create original otoplayS, the drama of the films

 ] sRasical1Y, I find no great differ : ence in the drama of the stage and screen. Fundamentally, the drama } of both is the same. First rate con- struction, with the logical following i out of an idea, is the prime requisite in each.

Rocking The Cradle Of An Infant Industry

In 1910a Baltimore theatre burst forth with a new style of entertain ment-three reels Of pictures, with trapdrum and effects.
 Fourteen years ago pictures were being produced by Edison, Selig. Els sanay, Urban, Pathe and Biograph. Only the two last mentioned brands are now current.
 The first theatre of importanee in the United States, built expressly to present moving pictures was the Strand. New York. dedicated April II, 1914.
 The stock company, located in Chi cago, for the presentation of Essanay photoplays, ten years ago, included Bryant Washburn. Francis x. Bush man, Richard c. Travis. G. M. An derson C"Broncho Bi1ly'), Ruth Stonehouse, Beverly Baynee Lillian Drew and Zelda Holmes.
 ..Hale's Tours,' in 1905, were among the early forms in which nov ing pictures were generally shown. Pictures were taken from the front of a trolley car or automobile and then projected in a mechanical device built. to resemble. the interior of a railway car.

LYRIC. (ReView.)

At the Lyric this week the I oi Players are fulfilling a managerial promise made to the lovers of good drama, by presenting with a full cast an excellent dramatic sensation, .The Woman Pays" written by 1nnis Gard ner Osborn, a former newspaper man and son of Norris S. Osborn, a we'll '=oown newspaper publisher of New Haven.
 The plot has it's conception in a college town of New England and leads in well directed stages from scenes of rural Yankee life to the governors mansion - on the sunny shores of California, with many a tense moment and heart thrills that hold the audience in spellbound ex- pectation throughout, ending amid the applause that is well earned. It is the best drama that will be seen at the Lyric this season and to miss it is to regret

''To be sure, the technique of the my business since I went West to take up my duties at the Lasky studio to study every angle of motion picture technique diligently, so that I might be as well acquainted with that as I have been with the technique of the stage.
 Tn one way the dramatist for the screen is far less restricted than the dramatist for the stage. I mean in the sense of movements But in an- other way he is far more restricted, because the medium of words is cut away.
 ''I think the difficulty in writing for films is to make the treatment suffi- the lack of words one is apt, in order to avoid melodramatic effects, to be- come small and conventional in treatment. It is extremely difficult to remain real and true to life and yet attain the breadth of treatment which the screen demands.
 "Of course, big effects can be ob- fained by crowds, but to arrive at a play of great emotions between two or three characters, where every facial expression counts, ought to be the and that is the problem for all of us to solve.
 '.I believe that every dramatist who has written for a good number of years will find fresh inspiration for his work in the study of motion pictures. It will teach him to achieve a new and greater movement in his scenes and should add materially to his technique as a dramatist."

You wouldn't think, from the calm and placid expression on George Arliss' face, that he was a regular devil, would you now? But he WAS, as Lucy Cotton, the young lady with the fan, can amply testify. He tried to make one out of her, too, but she just said little prayer and shooed him away! She refused to be bedeVil- ed by the Devil.
 All of us who have been to church, as we should do, have mentally visu- ahzed the devil as being a person at tired in red tights. with a cloven foot, long tail, sinister laugh-in short, as a generally uncomfortable person.

Mark Twain's Repartee.

Mark Twain, whose greatest comic romance, "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court being shown in New York was the first man to remark that the reports of his death were grossly exaggerated.'' Thous- ands have said it since.
 Mark Twain's humor was spontan- eous. He thought quickly, and ac- cording to his friends he had the gift of lightning repartee.
 One day an acquaintance saw him on the street in San Francisco with cigar box under his arm.
 Bought some cigars?'' asked the friend.
