~ HE motion picture Aim is pro-
ceeding steadily and rapidly
to a place of dignity and re-
L responsibility in public at
tention. 1t is the new drama, and
while retaining traces of the crudity
Of the, early days, it has the courage
of its wealth and boldly handles in
magnificent opulence' of embellish-
ment subjects which the legitimate
theater approaches with difhdence.
If you desire dramatic version OF
a good old story. like Way Down
East" you turn to the movies. If
you seek a story of court intrigue and
chiyalry, like 'The Three Guards
men," or a romance of splendid
French king and his favorites. like
"Dubarry," or a version of celebrated
novel, like THE Four Horsemen OF
the Apocalypse" or a glimpse OF
that fine old play Of sentiment "The
Two Orphans" it is to the movies
that you make your way.
Refuge for the Legitimate.
Instead Of being a destructive rival
of the legitimate drama. as it was at
first regarded, the screen has become
its refuge. Even in music it has be-
come a haven for the ear WEAKNESS
which follows overindulgence in
Jazz operetta, and large orchestras,
some of them worthy of concert
platforms instead of a position in
front of the stage, are in attendance
under distinguished leadership to in
terpret the overtures of another day
which refuse to be forgotten.
The theater is a part of the popu-
lar consciousness. 1t must find ex-
preston and cannot be completely
controlled by the censorship Of po-
litical authority or by the producing
managers themselves. In the lack of
thoughtful entertainment in the
speaking theater the public has turn
ed to the screen, not for the bad that
ment anxious for an easy and un-
limited supply of material fondly in
sist, but for the excellence that it is
enabled to offer.
1t has the. means of hiring men
tality as well as its other accessories.
1t is the silent drama, but by no
means wordless. Any newsstand will
reveal the fact that no one sub
ject, from treaty to base ball, has
tortured the English language SO
voluminously as the motion picture.
It's propaganda has made demigods
and goddesses who, despite the mel
ancholy frequency with which they
forsake Olympian heights to betray
the earthly side of their natures, re-
main dear to the popular imagina-
ton. They are creatures of fancy,
expressions of the brain Of some
writer, old or new, beloved not for
what they are bvt for what they con-
vey to the mind Of the grateful OBJ
server.
Fame Comes to Director.
Occasionally the actor Is required
to share the splendors of reputation
with directing genius. d. w. Grff-
nth has been called "the Shakespeare
of the movies"-an inexact compli-
ment, for there is some lingering
doubt as to the credit due Shake
speare. while no vestige of suspicion
is permitted concerning the extraor-
dinary public gratitude due Mr.. Grif-
nth for rescuing good material from
obscurity.
His latest production, "The Two
Orphans" which he has subjected him
self to the mental labor Of rechristenins
'sThe Orphans Of the Storm" is a COL
laboration In which the old French
dramatist D'Ennery is unable to de-
fend himself. The orphans are DIEM

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS
ARE LESS GENEROUS.

It has been strongly intlmated IN
some quarters that the bluntly abu-
sive letters the congressional commit
tee has Heceived in reply to a circular
letter sent out broadcast to large
business and financial concerns which
heretofore have been quite generous
to the republican campaign chest may
have something to do with the chas-
tened spirit of the campaign organi-
xation. II they are not getting as
large campaign funds as usual, it
may be that they are going to place
their expenditures with such careful
virtue that they will get the utmost
credit for what is really necessity,
the democratic opposition suggests.
At any rate. the republican ma
tdonal congressional committee has
sought the opinion Of its law com.

THINKS LAW Is VALID
AS APPLIED TO HOUSE.

Continuing the argument. the law
committee emphasizes that as the
seventeenth amendment applies to
the Senate, SO article /, section 2, of
the Constitution applies to the House
OF Representatives. Article /, Sec
tion 2, was a part of the Constitution
prior to the enactment of the corrupt
practices act in question. So that if
the plaintiff in error. Newberry, had
betn a candidate for the House of
Representatives there would have
been no excuse for SIR Justice Nc
kennas qualified concurrence and
reservation. the law committee finds,
and then. instead of having a court
divided five to four against the con-
stitutionality Of the act, the result
might have been five to four in favor
Of the constitutionality of the act"
The law committee sums up: '-The
qualified concurrence and reservation
of Mr.. Justice McKenna make this
(Newberry case) decision of the Su-
preme Court at best a fifty-fifty
proposition when applied to a candi-
date for representative in Congress
at a primary election" So that the
law committee reports to the republi-
can congressional committee that "wev
conclude, and wisdom and prudence
dictate, that a candidate for repre-
sentative in Congress at a primary
election should file sworn statements
CT his campaign expenditures with
the clerk Of the House of Representa-
tives, as required by the act of June
25, 1910, as amended by the act of
August 1s, 1921" The congressional
committee has passed this advice
along to all republican candidates.

used or promised by a candidate for
representative in Congress or for
senator Of the United States in pro-
curing his nomination and election
to sum not in excess of the amount
he may lawfully give, contribute, ex-
pend or promise under the laws Of
the state of his residence-with a
proviso that in the case OF a candi--
date for representative the amount
shall not exceed $4,000, and in the
case of a candidate for senator shall
not exceed $4,000 in any campaign
for nomination and election.
FILING OF REPORT Is
REQUIRED BY LAW.
The federal corrupt practices act.
as amended. further requires the FL
ing Of sworn statements by a candi-
date for representative or senator Of
expenditures incurred both In the
primary election and in the general
election, this law committee finds.
1t says that IL Congress has power
to enact such legislation, it is based
on the following constitutional pro-
visions:
1t is provided by article /, section
1. that "all legislative power herein
granted shall be vested in a Con-
gress of the United States. which
shall consist of a Senate and House
of Representatives" Section says
that ''the House of Representatives
si.all be composed Of members chosen
every two years by the people of the
several states, and the electors in
such state shall have the qualifica-
tions requisite for electors OF the
| most numerous branch of the state
legislature"
The law committee of the con-
gressional committee then asks.
What would have been Mr. Justice
| Mckenna's conclusion if the seven
| teenth amendment had been adopted
| prior to the enactment of the corrupt
| practices act and amendments there
| to? Furthermore, the plaintiff in er-
| ror, Newberry, was a candidate for
| the Senate, and the seventeenth
| amendment applies only to senator's
and Mr.. Justice McKenna 'concurs in
this opinion as applied to the statute
under consideration, which was en-
| acted prior to the seventeenth amend
ment.'"
