GOOD ROADS BONDS

The probe of the State Highway
Department and Commissioner Cole
mans administration was completed
by the legislative Investigating COM
mittee last Friday, and resulted In. a
complete vindication for Commits
sioner Coleman.
1t is generally conceded that the
Byrd-Ozlin bill to legislate Commits
sioner Coleman out of office is dead,
and that the Goolrick-Eaughan bill,
approved by Virginia Good Roads AS
ISOLATION, will be passed. This bill
transfers from Commissioner Cole
man to the five members of the
Highway Commission, to be appointed
by Governor Trinkle and to serve
during his administration, the duty
Of deciding between routes, allocatlng
construction funds, and awarding con
tracts.
Governor Trinkle having stated
that he would support any highway
organization approved by the Gene
raj Assembly, and the financial sit
uation having cleared, while labor
and materials are cheap, it is ex-
pccted that Governor Trinkle will be
glad to approve a bind bill for a real
sonable amount, properly safeguard

Virginia and the country at large

years, in order that a fair test may
be made before going further. The

THE MOVIES

Our friend, Harmon Reed,
whose life-work is dedicated to
Better Movies for Greater Alex
andria, has sent to the editorial
sanctum of the Gazette a copy OF
one Of Arthur Brisbane's lnlmlt-
able sermonettes on Moving PIC
lures, with a request that we write
our own views on this absorbing
topic. This we do cheerfully, not
only because the Movies are to
us one Of the most powerful ed
llcativc influences OF the day, but
because we believe they should
BE fostered and encouraged and
supported and sustained by every
man woman and child in,tile com
1nunity. We go SO far as TO say
that the Movies are not unlike the
ubiquitous jazz music OF the day,
in that bad movies are better than
no movies; just as jazz music is
better than no music. Through
them taste is cultivated, perhaps
created, that can easily be led up
wards to the best and highest and
noblest.
Last week we went to the Rich
mond to see a play, the sterling
merits Of which were effectively
hidden in the title. 1t was called
"All for a Woman-or by some
such inane appellation, and we eN-
pected to see some sickly prcseil-
tation of a screen nclodranla. In
fact, had we not been more than
usually tagged out and in dire
need Of mental change Of atnos-
phere we would not have gone.
Imagine Our surprise, then,
when we found ourselves face to
face with the great characters OF
the French Revolution, Danton,
Robcspierre. DeSlnoulin and
Others whose names are writ large
in the blood and flame Of that ter
ribly fascinating period OF his
tory. Carlyle,S words are no more
graphic, no more breatf-sasping
and spine-curdling than these
tremendous pictures enacted in the
flesh by men and women Of TN
usual talent. Danton and Robes
pierre were of the order Of gen-
ius. The scenes were Of absolute
fidelity to the historic setting. The
houses. the streets, the interiors
nlarvellously reproduced as OF the
fateful year OF '05. An hour Of
history with this Screen Drama
is worth pages and pages Of prin-
ter's ink! Why was not this
advertised for what it was, in
stead OF being cursed with 50
n,awkish a title as "All for a
Wonan:?'
Then again, this week, we went
to see rip Van Winkle,' as por-
trayed by Thomas Jefferson. son
of the immortal Joseph, and an
excellent actor himself. The
traditions were entirely OF the Ell

spoken drama: In fact, the Screen
Drama has an. unapprochable SUI
periority over the Spoken Drama
in this respect, that contributes to
it one of its greatest trinlphs, and
which alone means everlasting life
SO long as the human race shall
endure.
Either Of these plays was we'll
worth going twenty miles to see.
The theatre should have been
crowded all the hours OF its open
ing on both occasions and it is
with view Of arousing our read
ers to the educational importance
as well as the keen enjoyment OBJ
tainable, that we from time to time
write OF our local movies, what
they mean, what they are doing,
and what they propose doing. The
music at the Richmond is given
by three talented artists, with
the piano, the violin and the cello,
and is alone worth the trifllng sum
paid for the whole.
The Movies are to the Spoken
Drama and to dramatic literature,
what the invention of movable
types was to all other literature
In other words they render ac-
cessible to the millions what for
merry was ouly to be had by the
elect few. With the papyrus or
the vellum Of ancient days the
scholars Of any country could be
numbered on one hand. With the
advent OF Gutenberg they began
to reach the thousands. Today
owing to the newspaper and the
and the magazine and the cheap
books-Inillions iii the United
States know more and are better
educated than royalty and nobil-
lily d few centuries back.
In the spoken drama a good
voice and a natural talent for elo-
cution are indispensable. These
are rare gifts. Nature is always
niggardly in her endowments.
This is why there are never more
than three or four actors, OF the
first order OF genius at any given
period. In the. Movies the voice
is dispensed with. The human
clement requires only the gilt OF
mimicry and facial expression.
There rs not a child born INTO the
world that is not born a. mimic
and this is why the children III
the Movies today are SO often bet
ter than their elders in the same
play. AS for scenery and setting
there is and can be no comparison
between the possibilities OF the
screen drama and the physical llm-
itations that must always hamper
the misc-cn-Sccnc OF the spoken
drama.
We are as yet but i'll the IN
fancy of the Silver Screen. Each
day sees some Improvement, some
step forward hitherto undreamed
OF. The future is full of stupen-
dous surprises. 1t will require
too, at least a generation more
before human talent and genius
reaches its final development i'll the
art OF facial expression and Ses-
turc and pose. This is already
begun. And another ten or
twenty years will see the Movies
firmly enthroned as perhaps the
leading educational force III the
world. AT least they will take
their place right royalty as sharing
the throne with the printed page,
the spoken drama and tie arts OF
sculpture, painting and Music.
