WORDS are somewhat like latch

ear and it unlocks thought. Some
times the same word unlocks differ
ent thoughts in different heads.
That's principally because words are
clumsy keys. There would be less of
argument in the world If it were pos
sible to just shoot full-1edged
thoughts from mind to mind by a
wireless-like method. Wouldn't there?

Rise of the Big Picture:

THE greatest single development in
the motion picture business in
1921 was the change in the attitude
OF the public toward pictures, accord
ing to Adolph Zukor, president Of a
great film corporation. This change.
Mr.. Zukor declares, means that the
year 1920 will probably see an un-
precedented number OF big produc-
tions that will almost entirely sup
plant the smaller and more mediocre
films Of the past.

Il think that Tom Mix is an heroic
figure. Cowboy exploits in which he
rides a horse down the side of a
mountain or dashes across the desert
contain epic qualities. as glorious as
the adventures of Homer's heroes or
the heroes of the picturesque novels
that literary critics praise SO high

the noblest beauty.
Il predict that in a few years there
will be critics thinking themselves

Will make fun of novels and plays,
poems and essays and sculpture and
paintings as cheap and clumsy de-
nificent charms of the motion pic
ture. They will laugh at the sculptor

image; and they will point to the mo-
ton picture director who can select
and reveal them in motion, posing
them and lighting them at his divine
pleasure. grouping them in friezes
and giving them all the magic Of
life.
"There will be critics who will
laugh at the novelist who ransacks
his thesaurus and his dictionary for
unusual adjectives, which anybody
can find VINO will look for them,
and pitifully trying to express with

Stage Humor.

CINcE Cecil Lean has entertained
theatergoers for SO many years.
he ought to know something about
the art OF humor.
"Of course" says Mr.. Lean. mot
everybody can be expected to prove
as charmingly agreeable as the Prin-
cess Scheherazade, who on 1,001 sue
cessive oriental nights told the 1.001
stories that beguiled the sultan from
cutting off her head.
"A single dull evening on the long
home stretch. with headache or me-
grims or a fit of indigestion to put
a stop to her continuous flow of pic
turesque narrative would have in
vited the waiting eunuch to indulge
in his favorite indoor sport and left
der's of Aladdin's lamp or the pleas
ant adventure of Ala Baba and his
forty companions.
at has been said that the possess
sion of humor is disadvantage;
that the man affecting it is very
the solid qualities Of good sense. 1t
may be true.
ut is, seemingly. the actor or
actress alone who profits in every
way by the possession of humor and
a sense of humor, for the public has
come to think that an actor dull off
stage is a stupid one on the stage.
1t has been to the actors advantage
at all times even TO pretend to a
humorous virtue which he did not
possess. And many-oh, SO many
get by with the pretense.
Quinn. Foote and Garrick were so
famous as wits and humorists that
their sayings soon found way into
Jest books. Some of their successors
are accused Of having copies of these
books. OF course. none but their
rivals can prove the charge; and so
the humor Of the stage is ever safe
from annihilation"

AGE In the Movies.

CONTRARY to the problem that
~ often confronts musical comedy
producers, how to make new things
look old is one Of the problems of
the property and scenic artists around
film studio.
An example Of what can be done
in this respect is said to be shown
in Agnes Ayres' first star picture.
"The Lane That Had No Turning"
by Sir Gilbert Parker.
A missing will is found by the star
hidden behind family portrait in
the old manse, the Signeury of
Pontiac. Moonlight playing on a
projection in the frame attracts her
attention. She presses the button,
releasing the canvas, which swings
aside. revealing the hidden receptacle
the will and an ancient
silver pistol.
I.u ."venanism of the frame and
canvas is ingenious but simple. The
real problem was to make every
thing look old. To do this. dust or
an equivalent therefor was plenti-
fully sprinkled over everything. A
piece of old and faded parchment
represents the will, heavily coated
with dust. Cobwebs were affixed and
the little pistol was powdered thick
ly with dust. AS the door opens the
accumulated dust pours out, and GIN
gerly the heroine removes the will
and the weapon.

Idle Rich," his latest Metro starring
production, based on Kennett Harris
magazine story, Junk" The picture
was directed by Maxwell Karger and

The story concerns a young scion
of California aristocracy, heir to the

in his effort to win a. girl loved by
another though less aff1uent man Of

prospers, but is well on the road
to financial afnuence again, when his
rival. by an underhand trick. con-
vinces him the girl no longer loves
