NXIIE aim at forming a permanent

Drury Lane, London. at the time, the
only Irish tenor in company OF Ital-

shouldn't an Irish opera company be
formed entirely of Irish singers to rem
der Italian opera in Gaelic: The ques-
ton is now being gradually answered.
1--WE could not make progress while
the war was on. nor while there were
troubles in Ireland, but l think things
are ouieter now and that we shall be
able to advance. Even SO, we do not
begin till 1928, when the concert tour
opens at the Theater Royal. Dublin, my
native city.
1--WE want to discover and develop
unusual musical talent among members
of the Irish race wherever we find 1t.
and 1t Is my duty to seek 1t In New

What Pictures Need.

THE future of the motion picture is

King, director for Richard Barthel-

When Shakespeare said The plays

statement which is as true today for
motion pictures as it was for the the
ater back inu the days Of the Bard
of Avon" Mr.. King insists. you
can have the best actor in the world
Tor your star: have him supported by
a superb cast and have your picture
fall absolutely fiat if you haven't a
real heart -throb story"
Mr.. King is of the opinion that when
the bitter scars of hate have been
softened by time the recent world
war will offer to many of the present.
day authors wonderful material for
stories which can be dramatized for
the screen. He calls attention to the
popularity of the civil war story
after the terrible tragedy of the fight
between brothers had been partially
essenced by time.
Every war in history has been fol-
lowed by an epidemic of good fiction
ne adds
But not alone On the war are we
going to be dependent for screen ma
teriai in the future" he continues.
The fate OF the motion picture is in
the hands of the young author of
today. He will be the screen writer
of the morrow.

the school and why I was very glad

Color Pictures Soon.

COMETHING new in motion picture
color photography is promised in
the Penrhyn Stanlaws production
of Pink Gods" for Paramount The
picture itself is not TO be done in
colors, but the titles are to be rem
dered in tints by this new process
from paintings by B. Cory kilvert, a
well known artist.
MIR. Kilvert's drawings will be
translated to the screen in their orig
inal colors by process which is
being worked out by r. J. Pomeroy,
a skilled technician.
"Since the motion picture does not
a. yet seem to be able to get along
without interpolated reading matter"
Mr.. kilvert says, lit is our aim to
have the titles carry along the action
and visual idea of the scenes with
as little interruption as possible.
The process we are using allows the
use of two colors, and my problem as
color artist is to devise varied and
harmonious combinations of different
tints. Moreover. we have the pleas
ant feeling of being pioneers. for. al
matte pictures, it has not been un-
qualifiedly successful"
The essential thing about the
Pomeroy process is a positive stock
coated with emulsion on both sides.
If. for example. the color scheme
is based on red and blue. one side of
the film will be dyed with red and
the other side with blue.
Due TO the fact that special color

Simplicity in Picture Art.

''THE artistic advance Of the motion
picture will be in the direction
of a greater simplicity" says Penrhyn
Stanlaws, producer of many Para
mount features and an instructor IN
pictorial values in the Paramount
Stock Company School.
THE coming to the cinema studio
of such men as B. Cory Kilvert, Paul
Tribe and f. Pinney Earle will have
its certain result in greater beauty on
the SCREEN" according to Mr.. Stan
laws Particularly in the matter of
settings their influence will be in
the direction of simplicity, and We
will see fewer settings designed to
represent homes of refinement but
filed with bad assortments of furni-
ture, and the wall spaces. which
might be so pleasing, covered with
too many pictures.
"I do not overlook the fact that the
room must reflect it's occupants. But
that is just the point People OF
wealth and cultivated taste are most
likely to surround themselves with
