Pea Soup and White Whisky

IN the preparation for the screen of
Agnes Ayres' first starring pro-
duction, THE Lane That Had No
Turning" It was necessary to repre-
sent a French-Canadian wedding
feast.
The research department sleuths
were set to the task of finding the
dishes of sfhe marriage feast. The
various Eastronomic authorities OF
French Canada who had written
books on SFrench-Canadian cookery
had apparently failed to discuss this
one important particular, and the re-
suit was final appeal to Sir Gilbert
Parker, the author. 3
why, pea soup is the chief essen
tial," said Sir Gilbert ''They have
other things, Of course, such as
chicken, white whisky, wine and
tea, vegetables and big wedding
cake, but pea soup is the piece de
resistance. No French-Canadian we'd
ding feast would ever be authentic
without pea SOUP"
Then came the task of making pea
soup register on the screen, along
with white" whisky. This. however
was problem that was passed or
to the photographers, who eventual
ly solved the puzzle by some species
Of camera wizardry at their command.

Real Sham of the Movies.
From the Chicago Journual Of Commerce

If we were to undertake serious
criticism of movies as they move, it
would be directed against their unnat-
uralness. their infidelity to the funda-
mental impules and Interchangeable Sc
quences Of real life, and the false edu-
cation of audiences resulting therefrom
Too often rascality and crime, lust and
lack of integrity. are rewarded with
happiness after a superficial and OBJ
Ious1y impossible repentance in the
last act The convict turns into a hero
the libertine becomes a moral model,
the vampire acquires amazing virtue,
the wicked husband or wife has a
sanity finish.
Such things do not often happen in
life: they occur SO frequently in the
movies that young men and girls are
in danger of receiving and accepting
wholly false ideas Of human rela-
tions with irrevocable and inescapa-
BILE moral laws. Too many utterly
bad things are condoned on the
screen; the natural progress of char
acter, good or bad. is too often per-
verted. The result, so far as imma-
ture minds is concerned, can be only
a distorted and untrue conception of
the values of life and conduct. 1t is
to correct this trend that criticism
should be directed, in our opinion.
