Improvement In Movies
BY DONALD H. CLARKE.

pERHAPS you've heard or read
that motion pictures are at a
standstill or are rushing backward
with the speed OF a wireless tele-
phoned "Hello!"
Well, all the evidence available to
this writer is to the contrary. It
would appear that all any one would
have to do is compare a motion pic
ture of ten years ago-any one of
them-with a motion picture of cur
rent vintage. Everything in the mod
ern photodrama Is better-the story,
the direction, the photography. the
settings. the titles. the acting.
What critic of motion pictures, on
the constructive side. could ask more
than for producing company to
spare no EFFORT to get the co-opera-
ton Of the best authors. the best di-
rectors, the best photographers and
the best actors?
Few persons realize even family
the wealth of experience, the years Of
study and the months Of preparation
that are focused on the production
Of each modern photo drama.
It's easy to see a picture and laugh be-
cause one actress is seen walking up
stairs with f1llet on her head and is
perceived to have arrived without the
fillet. That sort of error will creep
into motion pictures always, because
1t is impossible for any human being
to be always 100 per cent perfect on
every mechanical detail
The great thing to do is to see your
picture of today in contrast with
your picture of yesterday. Chances
are you cannot fail to see the star
tling improvement.
The world, is getting better all the
time. And motion pictures are get
ting better faster in proportion than
most human institutions. That
seems to be a consensus of opinion
among persons who are closely iden-
titled with the industry.
