SUGGESTS MOVIE
PICTURE BASED
ON WAR OF '76

New York, Mar. 1S-With a num-
Der of big pictures based on the
French revolution proving success
full in America, it seems that one
based on our own revolution of
1875 ought to prove a financial and
artistic success.
Certainly there is as much ma
terial for the movies in our own
and more familiar history as there
is in the histories of European
countries.
The Boston Tea Party, the mid
night ride of Paul Revere, the light
in the Old North Church. the Battle
of Bunker Hill, Valley Forge, bare
foot soldiers struggling through the
snow, the crossing of the Delaware,
roadside skirmishes, spies-here
are incidents that could be woven
into one glorious, thrilling film
drama
One wonders why Griffith did not
turn to his own national history
for a spectacle film instead of fol-
lowing the lead of German pro-
ducers in employing the French
revolution for his last big film.
There were enough romances in
the war of '76 to supply a love
theme by which the historical cpl
sodes could be threaded together
And if there were not, one could
easily be invented. The magma

ton was used literally in putting
love themes into the foreign his
torical films.
But there need be no great
amount of legend introduced into
film based on the American Rev
Olution 1t would be an effective
finn were it to paint the picture in
true cOlOrs.
The principle for which Ameri-
cans fought was right. Englishmen
don't deny that A film based on
the American Revolution would
serve to present history in a graph
ic way, to preach the doctrine upon
which this country is founded and
to furnish one lallapalOosa of a
dramatic picture.
l asked one prominent film man
why spectacle film based on the
American Revolution had not been
made.
His answer was that producers
feared that it would be a financial
failure because it would be inter
preted as anti-British propaganda.
That seems insufficient reason.
The Germans held up Henry VIII
to the world as the old rake that
he was. That picture was a great
success in America.

John Barrymore
in '"The Lotus Eater"
at Spencer Square

An attempt to cross the Pacific
ocean in a dirigible balloon is one
of the stirring features shown in
1.-THE Lotus Eater" an Associated
First National attraction, which is
coming to the Spencer Square for
an engagement of four days. John
Barrymore, the eminent actor, is
the star of the production, which
was personally directed by Marshall
Neilan The story Is from the
book by Albert Payson Terhune,
and the titles have been written by
George AIDE, the humorist. The
cast includes such sterling actors
as Wesley Barry, Colleen Moore, ].
Barney Sherry and Anna Q. Nilsson.
Jacques Lenoi (Barrymore), ac-
companies a celebrated aeronauti-
cal engineer, who has invented a
new gas, Anogyn, which he figures
will enable the dirigible to rise 50,-
600 feet in the air, and thus aided
by the air currents which are Gre
ated by the motion of the earth,
reaching the Orient within two
days. But within a short time it IS
apparent that the lifting power of
the new gas has been overestimat
ed, and that the dirigible will not
be able to reach its destination.
The second day in the air, the en-
gineer espies a liner below them,
and he leaps from the balloon with
a parachute and is picked up by the
steamer. Lenoi, hopeful that the
trip might be a success, continues
westward until fuel and food are

ward, for the gas supply is being
depleted As the dirigible is a
hundred feet from the water, Lenoi
dives into the ocean. Following an
exhausting struggle with the waves,
Lenoi reaches a small island, on
which he finds strange adventures,
happiness and love
More than passing interest is
manifest in a shipwreck scene re-
produced as a window display by
Joe TUckis, Second avenue florist,
judging from the number of groups
of interested onloOkers found in
front of the window at all times of
the day. The scene is laid in the
tropical islands of the South Seas
Lying high upon the shore, her
nose imbedded deep into the sand,
is an Old-time sailing vessel. Near
by and close to the waters edge
stand a man and a woman, surviy-
ors of the wreck Stretching away
from the sandy beach and forming
background is a dense foliage of
flowers, palms and tropical vegita-
ton with herd of deer in the
distance. The window display was
made at the suggestion of Manager
Slenker of the Spencer Square the

BY JAMES w. DEAN.

New York, March 18-An interna-
tional organization to control in
terchange of films is now being
planned in Europe. So writes Mil
ton Bronner, who keeps me inform
ed On movie affairs over there.
Such movement, if conSummat-
ed, would be tantamount to inter
national censorship.
The agitation for film league
of nations" started when General
Booth of the Salvation Army was
interviewed in London after re-
turning from tour of the Scandi-
navian countries.
He found a profound change go
ing on in the moral outlook of the
people of those countries" BrOnner
writes. HE attributed great deal
of this to the movies. They were
spreading a moral pestilence, he
said, and suggested an internation-
al understanding on the film
British producers and critics en-
dorsed General Booths idea. They
pointed out that films that might
be all right in the United States
might be all wrong in India and
that German films might cause
damage in other parts of Europe.
Americans have no idea of the
persistent and consistent campaign
that is kept up over here in the
film business" Bronner writes.
THE Briton sees that the great
est number and the greatest films
are made in the United States. Ger
many probably comes second. It's
easy to bar German films. The
war is still too close. The public
won't stand for German films.

was a far truer document Of small

The Fog" was not a best sell

Then literature moved into a new

films. They are in the majority
and the public likes them, but the
press, in the main, makes regular
campaign against them"
Few are praised Critics ridi-
Guile the American language en-
ployed in subtitles and the settings
and costumes when the scenes are
laid in England. They especially
scorn the morals of some of the
American movies"
Bronner points out that an inter
national organization to control eX-
hibition of films would doubtless
have a majority of Europeans anX-
ious to build up the industry in
England, Italy, France and Sweden.
He says hundreds of our films are
shown in Europe to each European
picture shown in America.
That seems to draw the fangs
from the wolf. If American pro-
ducers were to refuse to send any
films to Europe many movie thea
tres throughout England and other
European countries would go bank
rupt They couldn't obtain enough
good films to keep going.
Proof of that lies IN the fact that
no other country has yet produced
a Chaplin, a Fairbanks, a Keaton,
a Lloyd, a John Bunny, a Fatty
Arbuckle, a Charles Ray. a Wallie
Reid; in short, no other country
has produced a film player who
stands out as an artist of comedy.
And comedy is the backbone of
screen entertainment.
And more-besides Lubitsch, no
other country has produced a Grif-
fifth, a DeMille, a Neilan, an Ingram
or a Fitzmaurice. Americans are

DID FRENCH FOUND NEW YORK?

1t would seem to be fact, however,
that the real founders of New York
were in reality people from northern
France or, more exactly, from the
ancient province of Hainaut.
1t was, indeed, man from Avesnes,
In that province, named Tesse de For
est, who, in 1924, went ashore on the
island of Nanatian with. some three
hundred Walloon farmers and artisans
who had brought their household
goods and cattle from Antwerp, where
they shipped.
These colonists named the com
munity which they formed there New
Avesnes in honor of their home city.
Later, when the Dutch crowded them
out, the city became New Amsterdam,
and was finally christened New York
by the English. q
1t has been suggested that a statue
Of Tesse de Forest be erected in New
York in 1924.-Kansas City Star.

Claim Made That Man From Hainaut
Province Was the Original Settler
of the Metropolis.

Several days ago your correspon-
dent reported the invitation extended
King Albert by Rev. Charles S. Mac
Farland, general secretary of the
Churches of Christ in America, asking
the sovereign to honor with his pres
ence the celebration of the three hun
dredth anniversary Of the founding Of
New York.
AS chief reason for his invitation
Mr.. MacFarland observed that the
American metropolis owed its birth in
large measure to original Walloon
colonists. OF course, the Belgian
newspapers have taken the liveliest in
terest in this bit Of history and several
of them, notably the Nation Beige,
have printed exhaustive articles on
the subject.

season of seasons, the time of times,
was at hand.
To certain new reporter on the
Despatch the stir and gayety of the
streets meant little more than that the
| days had come when it was night in
the afternoon, and that he was given
fewer political assignments. This was
annoying, because Beasley's candidacy
for ;he governorship had given me Il
personal interest in the political stua-
tion. The nominating convention of
his party would meet in the spring :
| the nomination was certain to carry
the election also, and thus far Beasley
showed more strength than any other
man in the field. "Things are looking
his way" said Dowden. He's always
worked hard for the party; not on the
| stump, of course" he laughed "but
! the boys understand there are more
important things than speechmaking.
His record in Congress gave him the

Latin an Aid to. Business.

Persons who wish to become pro-
ficlent in business English should study
Latin according to Dr.. ]. Duncan
Spaeth, professor of English at Prince
Son university, because the study of
Latin gives the necessary training in
the fundamental laws of syntax and
grammatical structure. 1t also serves
as an introduction to word structure
and word derivation. Doctor Spaeth
believes that business man should
have a knowledge of from 100 to 200
Latin words and their derivatives as
the basis for good business English
