M0uies and Literature.

EDrCAToRS have discovered that
something new can lie blamed on
the pict'ires-a decided stimulation of
III" reading Of frst-class literature.
Maurice Tourreur. who has spe-
cialized in the adaptation OF classics
for the screen for 4 number of years
blazed the way to the discovery with
an interesting survey of the leading
publishers, librarians and oksellers
throughout the country. When sta
tisties were compiled the men and
women who had sent on the data were
as astonished as the producer.
At the present time. according to
try's largest cities. there is a marked
demand for the novels Of r. D. Black
more. The announcements of an
elaborate screen production of Lorna
Doone." by Tourneur, not merely
aroused interest in this favorite
also seems to have caused much
speculation in regard to Blackmore's
other novels.
Lorna's romance always has held
pre-eminent favor because of its
wealth Of exciting dramatic incident.

A sharp revival of interest in J.
Fenimorc Cooper's tales of historic
America followed on the heels of
Maurice Tourneur's presentation of
The, Last Of the Mohicans." Libra
rians I'm a number of cities reported
that for some weeks following the
appearance of the picture at local
theaters there was a greater call for
1.-The Last of the Mohicans" than
there had been for all the other
Cooper tales combined in years past.
Robert Louis Stevenson always has
held his own. but after the filming
of Treasure Island" by Tourneur
there was an enormous demand for
the tale of the hardy lad and his ad-
ventures with the black k-hearted crew
of pirates.

Soldiers of the Legion

THROUGEOUT the war the episodes
in their perturbation of the life
OF Abraham Lincoln only members of
the American Legion will be en-
ployed.
In this production the war between
the states will constitute the back
ground of the drama and. while the
actual fighting will be minimized. the
pageantry of war will be much in evil
dence with the glory of both the Blue
and the Gray undimmed.
The decision to employ only mem-
bers of the American Legion was ar
rived at by consideration of many
war pictures in which both the fight
ing and the fighters appeared pain
fully amateurish, unconvincing. and
in several cases actually comicai. Also
the soldiers will be directed by their

Ruth St. Denis and

WHEN Anna Pavlowa made he,
w farewell appearance in America
last spring, from among all our native
dancers Ruth st. Denis was chosen to
present the incompatible Russian
dancer with a loving cup in token OF
the appreciation and affection the
leading dancers in this country had
for Pavlowa.
Miss St Denis was chosen for the
honor because 1t was decided that OF
all dancers she was the one who
had made the greatest contribution
to the art Of original dancing In
America. In fact. Miss st. Denis was
the first person In the world to in
terpret and create Hindu and Egyp-
