Pictures Are Not
What They Used to
Be, Says Veteran

A graphic illustration OF progress
in picture methods was given by
Robert Cain, now playing heavy"
role in George Melford's production
Of Burning Sands He made his
first picture appearance in 1910. with
King Baggot and Mary Pickford. in
that order OF importance, at that
time. The script called for exterior
scenes around Sing Sing prison.
which is only couple Of hours
drive from New York City. where
the company was working. The
managers of the company debated
long and seriously and decided that
the expense Of sending company
OF three actors and staff to Sing
Sing would be too great, so they
crossed the river and took the scenes
at the Hackensack county Jail!
Last week Mr.. Cain returned with
the George Melford company from
Oxnard, Cal, where as many as 400
people were encamped for two
weeks, with 100 horses and camels
and a complete military equipment,
with everything necessary for COM
fort and sanitation. This prodigi-
Gus undertaking was necessary to
screen with the proper desert atmo-
sphere the production of Burning
Sands" in which Wanda Hawley
and Milton Sills are featured.

Frank n. Freeman OF the universit,
OF Chicago will endeavor TO learn.

There seem 10 be two general
problems presented for solution" said
DR.. Freeman. One is to determine
what can best be taught by moving
pictures and TO devise means OF en-.
larging this field and the second is
70 find ways OF improving the pic
lures themselves.
Pictures for Study.
Visual education, at present, is not
systematized. The situation reminds
OF an enthusiastic friend who went
to Mexico to take pictures. He shot
everything in sight aud then when he
got back it took a geographer to cut
and paste and get an Understandable
story out OF the films.
Motion pictures will not spread
over the whole curriculum. but will
be incorporated as part Of the
school work. What is best to show
is a matter for much study. Some
subjects, of course. lend themselves
very readily to the film, as the hatch
ing OF salmon and orange culture.
Pictures OF the various stages in
these industries are, think, readily
by the children. Get
ting vicarious experience, ONE man
called it.
valuable results are obtained in
the presentation OF objects which the
child never has seen. If, for in
stance, the child never had seen
ship or picture of one, film Of
vessel moving over the water would
convey more meaning than oral in
formation"
Films Too Long.
Experimental work now is going
on in the University of Chicago, at
the University OF Illinois and in at
least two cities where there are
large school systems. Pictures are
being taken, shown to the pupils
and the results observed. One test
is to determine whether it is possible
by motion pictures to show the
child the proper way to sit while
writing, another will be on proper
use of tools, the pictures being
made in the school shops.
|Due to the lack of precise infor-
nation on the film in the educa-
tional field" said DR.. Freeman.
films sometimes are much too

OF in the philosophy OF their asso-
ciatcs. Theirs. too, the power TO
measure a composition or per-
iormance by their standards and ap-
praise its worth much more ac-
curatcly than they would have been
able to do without this study and
experience.
We enjoyed this musical evening
at our local high school and believe
that the work being done there is
effectively spreading the love and
appreciation OF good music. And we
should like to see larger percentage
of the young people who spend
these impressionable years in such
institutions avail themselves Of the
opportunities there offered and thus
come in closer contact with the
fascinating art of music.

Selects Beauty
for NeU Role

While Richard Barthelmess de-
clares that beauty is not the only
requisite for a motion picture ac'

advantage. This is apparent in his
selection of Pauline Garon, the cele-
brated little beauty who is to be his
leading lady in Sonny" which fol-
lows "The Seventh Day." in which
Mr.. Barthelmess is being starred at
the Strand theater this week.
Miss Garon created the leading

that role attracted so much attention
that she has since appeared as lead

he was barely in time to save his

that it is wonder he wasn't drawn
