DEAR SIR: This letter is in the
nature Of a protest against
the methods employed by
theatrical managers in advertis-
ing their plays and players. re-
fer explicitly to a recent advertisement
in the New York papers calling atten-
tion to the work Of a certain actress
and stating, "She is the sensation of
the New York stage" and the play in
which she is appearing is "the greatest
dramatic triumph the New York stage
has known in twenty years"
Now, l have seen the young woman's S
work and would not take one whit
Of praise away from her. Her acting
is truly admirable in every way, but
to call her the sensation of the New
York stage is as unfair to her as it is
to the theater. As for the play being
the greatest dramatic triumph in
twenty years, it doesn't leave much
praise for "The Jest, z MADAME x" and
other triumphs Of the past score Of
years.
Can't we make some of tftse press
agents use monkey wrench on their
adjectives7 LENNA DUER.
New-York tribune., 1922-10-15

taken in this play, which is an accumu-

two hemispheres, he was badly mis-
taken in this play, which is an accumu-
lation Of numberless savage absurdi-
ties. Every scenep Of his film is filled
with mistakes and anachronisms. Louis
XVI did not hold private interviews
propped up on throne in the middle
of the Mirror Gallery. The walls of
Paris did not resemble the great Wall
OF China. The revolutionary tribunal
sat in gorgeous hall, with gilded and
sculptured ceiling, and not in a bar
rack. 1t was eamposed of three judges,
a jury and a public prosecutor. When
one writes history one should look the
subject up. There are plenty Of ref
erence books to be found"
After this diatribe had been written
every royalist in Paris went to see
this film, and the riot resulted. Then
for three days royalists invaded the
theater and stopped the performance
with loud denunciations Of this defa-
nation of French history. Forty-four
of them were arrested, but~t they were
liberated the same day. Finally the
owner Of the film cut out all those
parts which caused the popular OUT
burst, so every one is satisfied. But
the insult is still ranking in their
minds. -
New-York tribune., 1922-10-15

without a cluster of poor men hung at
the castles gate. And this is repeated
with a fastidious monotony.
What right has stranger to come
and claim that our ancestors were
brutes, idiots and savages?
"Would Harding's government let a
film be shewn in the states which
showed Washington as vicious and
sadistic being, Jefferson as filthy
man, and that made sinister bandits
Of all the heroes Of the war Of inde-
pendence? ?"
Then follows prophetic paragraph
which turned out to be true, after the
public had a chance 60 express them
selves.
"The royalists will be quits rightly
indignant when they see past, shown
and dragged through the mud, which
they respect and love. The republicans
will blush to see their ideas defended
and exposed in . manner which makes
them cdious and ridiculous. All will
rise up in protest against the grotesque
portrayal Of France.
"As an American, Griffith had no
right to jump on Louis XVI in this
way. His compatriots owe something
to this Atyrant." If Louis XVI had not
thrown the French army and navy
against England the United States
would not be free nation. II tn
French treasury was empty during the
last few years Of the monarchist re-
gime, it was because the etyrant" did
not demand immediate reimbursement
from the young republic for the sums
France spent to ASSURE its indepen-
dcnce.

Griffith" it said. "spent a million
dollars t6 give us his ideas of French
history, which he evidently got in some
primary school. He seems to believe
chat before 1899 the principal occupa-
tion Of the French was to starve to
death; that the mobiles kid.aped young
girls from the streets to use them for
their amusement; that, riding in their
coaches, they took delight in crushing
children un .er their wheels, and that
they spent their nights in high jinks.
"ln the country, it seems, they
amused themselves by opening veins
of the peasants and pouring molten
lead into them. Griffith would have us
believe nothing less than that! AS for
Louis XVI, he was naturally tyrant,
a fool and contemplate man, who
loved to have his people massacred by
foreige troops.
Griffith considers the Revolution as.
something sublime and childish, with
strange complications. Liberty, JUS
tice, peoples sovereignty, Bastille,
guillotine, convention all ring in his
head like lot of nuts in an empty
sack. He mixes up and confunds
things to such an extent that q COW

nARIs. Oct. 1.-Griffith's film "The
Il Two Orphans" Depicting French
revolutionary scenes, is still run
nlng at the Max Linder Theater, de-
spite its wild reception, hut lot that
ruffled the feelings Of Frenchmen has
been cut out.
When it was first shown to Paris
ian audience there was a riot. The
royalists shouted and threw everything
within reach at the screen, and others
tried to down the royalists with bias
phemies and canes. Police reserves
had to be called in to settle the dis
pute. The trouble arose because the
film showed an unAattering side Of the
life of the mobiles before the Revolu-
tion. The mobiles were portrayed as
taking a distinct delight in running
over children in the street and in tor
turing peasants.
The remainder Of the crowd wanted
to get their moneys worth and see
the film out. But before The end they
were up, shouting with wild gesticula-
tions that the plot was outrageous
nonsense. That was when the film
showed the Jacobins and guillotines,
making the average Frenchman appear
like bloodthirsty Bolsheyik.
The more serious element in Paris
began to dissect Griflth's production
and gave their verdict with thumbs
turned down The. claimed French
character was misrepresented from be-
ginning to end, but what made them
angry was that it was given as authen-
tic French history. Vow dare -or-
eigner take such liberties with our
history?" they asked.
To begin with, they said the adap-
tation of Cormon and Dennery's story,
"The Two Orphans" to movies took en-
oush liberties in changing the period OF
the plot from the reign Of Louis XIV to
the end Of Louis XVI's time. This was
done, they claimed, to show Lafayette
and Danton, the Jacobms and the
guillotine. and lot Of other things
and people not in the original, to the
American public.
Critics jumped on the production az

carries modern umbrella; others be-
cause Of what they considered an abb
surd anachronism in having one of the
orphans sing piece from "Mignon.'

NatuTat IOrceS, let them be the tech
niral personnel; the ensemble shall
be the elements and the heavenly
bodies, while time is the producer. The
Lord Is the stage manager of this
whole spectacle; He sits in the wings
and looks on, constantly He looks at His
prompt script, and His august eye gives
encouraging evidences that things 90

dark pit and gaze at the eternal stars.

self would come on the stage visible
and unconcealed, and say to the actors
who do not perform we'll, what roles
they executed far better seventeen mil
lion years ago, in what particular they
unquestionably grated and in what
they excelled; as for instance that
curious sunset above the Lonanicky
Mountain this year, when before the
rain the gods rode out in golden chari-
OTIS; or that sunny afternoon the other
day when ! was sitting on the square
and other excellent scenes.
Then. would rather see the Lord
accommodate as the stage manager in
some Of our scenes--mainly, because
He could, quite naturally, very easily,
do that which we are constantly try
ing to attain miracles. In all hui
man meter except medicine, the
theater strives most to create mira
cles. The miller does not need to re-
sort to miracles to make -four out of.
grain, nor the shoemaker to make boots
out of leather; but the theater needs
something like q miracle to make
heavens out of cloth and lamps, an
actor out Of boots, king out Of an
actor, and so on. Because it cannot
make miracles honestly it falls back on
swindles. And, if the Lord would
some time decide really to support to
His utmost human endeavors, every
th.ater would surely demand a
heavenly subvention of this and that
many thousand units (kilowatts, or
something Of that sort) of miraculous
power yearly. And as the Lord has
not thus far granted such support,
money is the only thing which makes
miracles possible.
II you like miracles you must like
the theater. TO me, ut least, the tho
ater conveys the knowledge that in this
exacting, materialistic, coarsely actual
world there is something unreal re-
moved from all cohesion. Simply pat,
the fantastic Theater is q window into
the unreal; the theater is an island
crossing in the ocean Of realities; the
theater is an opening out through the
wall Of huge masonry Of things actual
and possible; It is the only honest
,efuge Of impossibilities- beg of you
