from George Broadhurst's stage sue

Ordinarily with inspired perversity
movie directors insist on deviating
widely from q story when they shouldn't
and then stick to the letter of the text
with grim determination when they
should elaborate recklessly But for
once producer has hewn to the line
when the hew!ng was good. William
De Mile has wisely adhered closely to
George Broadhurst's original in this
story of the poor girl who married a
wealthy man. left him when his drunk
enness made her realize ne had bought
her as he did his gilt edged securities.
and finally returned because of his
awakened love-not because of prohlbi-

It was In the scenes chosen by the
playwright that the real drama of the
piece lay and De Mile. by following
these. could make the theme seem vital
even after many rich man, beggar maid
themes had flowed through the movie
machines. Moreover. II is SO many
years since Broadhurst wrote his melo-
drama that most persons have forgotten
1t. so that literal film adaptation will
come with the shock of new revelation
to many. Miss Ayres was pleasant with
out being acridly dramatic as the wife.
while Jack Holt seemed too agreeable
to be mean to her. but went through
with 1t like a gentleman.

State Censorship
ofPays Denounced
by DR.. S. NJ. Tucker
Says Government Control
Would Place Theater in
Hands of Politicians.

State censorship of the stage was de-
nounced yesterday by DR.. s. Marion
Tucker. professor of English at Poly
technic Institute and president of the
Drama League
IF the Government gets control of
the theater," Or. Tucker said, censor
ship will become a political matter. Rank
politicians will be the censors What do
they know about art, literature. ethics
morals? Nothing They will censor In
tellectual ideas. They will censor any
thing for political reasons. No play
wrights will dare to tell the truth about
anything. That is what State censor
ship would mean.
THE recent decision in favor of 1.-THE
Demi-Virgin" served merely 10 encourage
the production OF such plays. The name
itself is an insult to decency. Burlesque
performances are the worst forms OF inn
morality now shown on the stage. The
women in these shows disport themselves
with frank animality and with disgust
Ing sensualty. The Police Department
has never stopped any of these shows.
There is, unfortunately, always an
audience for play that is grotesque,
lascivious immoral. horrible. base or de-
grading, and II such plays continue to be
produced censorship will be inevitable
just as 1t was made inevitable in the
movies. The only right censorship is the
censorship of the discriminating play
goer. AS means of determining the
morality or the immortality of play two
questions should be asked What Is the
motive?' and What Is its method?' Any
play that lies about life Is an immoral
play. Several plays that have been con-
sidered by some people to be immoral
nevertheless presented vice as something
horrible and to be avoided. although the
subjects treated were uapleasan

representatives OF the various interests
concerned to have STAYED off the danger
Of an official censorship. John s. Sum-
ner, head Of the Anti-Vice Society !:
Owen Davis, playwright. and others ac-
tive in the movement said they believe
the problem Of cleaning up the New
York stage Is about to be solved by a
voluntary contractual arrangement.
In reference 10 the proposed plan
of jury censorship OF plays, Mr.. Lee
Shubcrt said yesterday:
II see no good reason why the right
to continue or stop plays should be left
TO the Judgment OF twelve good citi-
zens.' If play is bad and should be
stopped there are legal ways for the
public to seek redress and this Is the
only authority that I will recognize.
Any producer knows the kind Of play he
is going to stage before the curtain is
rung UP. and the same applies TO the
theater owner In whose theater an Inn

RARE ANTIQUES ON VIEW.

More than six hundred rare art OBJ
jects, many of which have recently been
dug up from bpried offices in Persua,
Mesopotamia, India and China, will be
placed on exhibition this afternoon at the
Anderson Galleries prior to sale at auc-
ton later in the week. The collection is
the property OF II. Kevorkian, who for
twenty years has been excavating in the
Orient and gathering relics OF an older
civilization to crafty his passion for
antiques.
Some of the pieces are the work Of
sculptors Of the seventh century before
Christ. A purple Coptic tapestry star
interlaced in fine geometrical design
dates back to the third century. The
collection includes a large assortment Of
very ancient Greek vases, and silk and

WILLIAM S. HART IN

RIALTO-William 8. Hart In "Trayelin'
On" a Paramount picture written by
Hart and adapted and directed by
Lambert Hillyer.
The hero of countless Westerns is as
quick and accurate on the draw as
ever. for acting before the Rlieg lights
has not dimmed the sureness of his eye.
The spectator may feel that he himself
is not as confident in coming down
stairs as he was in the days when
William S. Hart first appeared on the
screen. A mist may rise before his
eyes at the announcement tnat this is
Hart's last picture before retirement sets
in. The patrons orbs may be logged,
but not so Hart's. His hand is just as
steady as one who was making a begin
ming on the films and had yet to work
UP to big salary.
Once more in his final cinema effort
he comes to the rescue of distressed
womanhood. though II must be admitted
that at the start he didn't show the
usual Hart veneration for lovely woman
hood anchored in the desert This time
he is a lonely and illiterate wanderer
who trusts only his gun, and whose only
creed Is that he wants what he wants
when he wants 1t. which suggests that
although the action takes place in the
sos some one must have had a premoni-
tion of Mile. Modste." Meeting the
wife of an itinerant preacher in cow
boy town. he plans to abduct her, but
is deferred because the gambling hall
owner of the place wants TO apply the
same treatment to her. y. y. hates the
gambler so much he prefers to protect
the woman-which is an original twist
to virtue.
With his faith aroused In the woman's
goodness he assumes the blame for a
stage coach holdup actually perpetrated
by her husband as the only method of
answering his own prayers for more
money to build q church. Such a per-
version Of justifying the means by the
end may seem improbable even in a
character whose brain says from the
heat OF the desert. But one wishes DIR.
Straton could gee how an outlaw takes
up a preachers guilt and escapes after
saving the pastor from hanging by the
sure Hart expedient OF shooting through
the rope.
1t Is but proper that Hart's valedic-
tory photodrama should be laid amid the
scenes of his best triumphs. and that
il should contain so many Of the stunts
that brought him fame and income taxes.
Fittingly also in the end he goes travel
ing out into the silences, alone. instead
OF remaining behind to get the preachers
wife and reform the town with free
use OF lead With him passes a great
deal Of the Weston the films.
1t Is interesting to note that two of
the subtitlos, which I'm the main are
good specimens of their art. have been
changed for New York state censorship
purposes so that the two speakers OBJ
viously have other thoughts to confide
TO the rest OF the United States west Of
the Hudson River.

Porter Emerson Browne, in His First Story Written

these days of censorship intended to rep

a blow that for speed will match any

with bad toothache.
As he Is engaged to the young debu-
tante aforesaid, II appears as If the
young skipper had better prepare for
squall. But not for nothing is a
capable playwright watching over his
destinies. Browne has made his point
In the contrast between the rugged
simplicity of the fisher folk and the
shallow, false gayety of the younger
social set with fair degree of telling
simplicity, but the story is almost too
easy to follow. As a matter of fact. such
marriages as those between the two
classes indicated probably would last
about six months. even in these days OF

rubbed In by Browne. On the other
hand, whoever wrote the subtitles seems
to have taken his job too seriously.
Whenever he has nothing else to say
he seeks to disarm criticism by remark
