The Eighth Art.

IN connection with the tenth anni-
versary celebration of feature mo-
tion pictures which Is being observed
during the month of March. the fol-
lowing extract from an article in the
New York Times by Benjamin De Cas-
seres may be OF interest:
Motion pictures. the eighth art, is
not yet twenty years old, and yet
it is always being sneered at because
it is not on a higher level than
it is.
What art in the history of the world
has progressed so fast?
Painting is one of the Oldest OF
the arts-but not one picture in ten
thousand is worth looking at.
Literature is one of the oldest of
the arts-but not one book in ten
thousand is real literature.
Music is one of the oldest of the
arts-but the immortal composers do
not number twenty.
Dancing is one of the oldest of the
arts-but today the world "shimmies"
and 'jazZes."
Architecture is one of the oldest
of the arts-but the masterpieces of
architecture are few.
Sculpture is one of the oldest Of

ments come in to the effect that this
story of this picture, while possess
ing all the elements that go to make
an interesting film. is hampered by
the fact of it's being laid in Europe
or Asia. And it is impressed upon
us that America is uninterested in
what concerns either of these conti-
nents.
Just SO. another story is SO distinct
ly American, both in spirit and exc
cution, that it has about as much
chance of interesting European as
the want ad column in a middle

At present the European: market

Broadway N. Y, Kalamazoo and
Paris the same story and make them

1t is interesting to note that the
pictures which have done this so far
are nearly always adaptations of
masterpieces of literature. Some day
we are going to find the means
whereby this universal appeal can be
impaired to every picture. Most nec-
essary to it is the big love interest
and the human touch.
