"MA|N STREET" HERE
IN ITS STAGE FORM
Dramatization Of Popular Novel
Gives Faithful Picture of At
mosphere Of Gopher Prairie

Walnut-Rcaders of Sinclair Lewis
popular novel, main Street." will
find in the dramatization the faithful
transference of the atmosphere of
Gopher Prairie to the stage rather than
an attempt to crowd all of the Incl
dents Of the story into play form. 1t
is, after all. not theatrical" plot.
Conflict Of temperament Is there. but
the growth Of the conflict is 80 gradual
and so without dependence upon any
"big" incidents that the dramatic form
seems to drag badly at times for an
audience accustomed to the swift -mov.
ing. action of the modern play. And
the effort to depict faithfully the mar
row mental processes Of the small town
folk drags with incessnnt and tiring
by play, such as the endless gag about
the warm day."
There is only one really dramatic sit
uation in the stage version. That is
at the end of the second act. when DR..
Kennicott and his wife have had d tear
ful scene over her accusation that there
is TO spirit Of heroism or self-sacrifcc
in Gopher Prairie, and then comes the
telephone call telling him that his
crushed fourteen miles away, with
storm raging and the roads washed
away and every chance of death in an
effort to get to the sufferer. Mckay
Morris, as the doctor. does very fine
bit of quiet acting there. He makes no
attempt ut heroics; he Is simply the
average doctor, confronted with an
emergency and, without tho slightest
thought Of the danger he faces, setting
to work to get to the patient merely
as a part of his job. In fact. Nor
ris' acting all the way through the play
Is its outstanding feature. His methods
are natural in the extreme; he seldom
gives any impression Of acting, but is
always just the small town doctor, torn
between his Misunderstood worship of
his young city wife's higher ideals and
his loyal friendship for the small town
childhood. 1t is Morris work, rather
than the construction Of the lines and
situations, that swings more sympathy
to the doctor than is felt by readers of
the book.
Alma Tell Is a lovely Carol, fighting
the hopeless fight to instill into Gopher
Prairie some Of her own ideals and her
own dreams and arousing only antag-
onism. misunderstanding and cruel gos-
sip. She is best in her quieter moments
and does not seem quite able to put
across the more tense dramatic scenes.

NAz|MOVA FEATURED

Russian Star in lbsen Drama
Is Attraction at the
Aldine

Aldine-While the photoplay people
have generally left the works Of Ibsen
severely alone, they have twice taken
"a Dolls House" for screen presen-
tatiOn.
In the present version in which ALA
Nazimova is starred, there Is none OF
the weird and freakish new art'
which made Camille" so preposterous
feature. In fact there Is hardly a
set that might be called elaborate. even
the masquerade falling into the cate
CORY Of the simple and unasNIming.
Instead. the entire picture is laid be,
tween the unpretentious walls of He'll
mer's home, a home just rich enough
and just plain enough to suggest the
circumstances which 1bscn called for.
Probably never before have the pro-
ducers Of a picture relied SO entirely on
tho story Of that picture to carry it
through. The director has "shot" his
scenes with little variety Of position or
angle: all he seemed to insist on was
to get the faces of the principles as
they carried through the thought pro-
voking scenes Of tho picture. Despite
the many possibilities OF the camera
and the scenes Of beauty which not only
embellish, but save many q photo
drama, this 'dignifed adherence to the
plot, without frills or furbelows, is
something that should receive the film
fans vote OF thanks.

| sent the hospital ambulance to
the address Doctor Comstock had
given, and set about preparing
things for the patients coming. A
half hour later, Doctor Comstock
arrived, bringing with him an
emaciated looking man, not over
thirty years old, who appeared to
be in the last stages of tuber-
culosis. The man was unconscious
when brought in.
Doctor Comstock explained to
me, as the attendants were pre-
pairing for the operation, that this
man had, only a few years before,
completed his studies in a New
York medical school, and had re-
ceived an appointment at the
Bellevue Hospital. Owing to i'll
health he had given up his work
after little over a years service,
and had returned to his home in
Belmont.
Here the man had outfitted him
self with a small laboratory and,
whenever his health permitted, car
ried on experimental work that he
had begun at college. While no
one knew what this experimental
work was, it was generally
thought to be concerned with
some aspect of blood analysis.
The gossip of the town had even
gone so far as to say that the fire.
quency of his hemorrhages had led
him to carry on this blood analysis
with the idea of working out some
formula that he might use to re-
plenish his own loss of blood. He
had not even taken his family into
his confidence.
Before the doctor had proceeded
further with his narrative, one of
the attendants came in and an
nounced that everything was in
readiness for the operation.
1t was a losing fight that was
fought that night, for the hemor-
rhage was well within the lungs,
and operative interference was i'm
pr ssible. Shortly after five the fol-
lowing morning, the man died
without regaining consciousness.
Doctor Comstock had left litt,,
over an hour before without telling

me more of this story. It was
months afterwards when l again
met Doctor Comstock, and inquired
about the young man whom he
had brought in that night.
"Ah, yes," he replied. "Didn't
I ever tell you the whole of that
story?"
No." 1 answered, "and I have
wondered many times since then,
inasmuch as the man had been so
secretiye about his work, just what
he might have been doing"
Doctor Comstock replied that he
would be glad to tell me, and sug-
gested that | take dinner with him

had been more interested in this
experimental work than / had sur
missed. And Comstock has always
