succinetly as he sizes up screen and

Behind the screen and the foot

being able TO state in 10 words just
why a play will or will not be a sue

In his sophomore year, 1900. Tully
wrote "A Strenuous Life" He still

from it. High school and college
classes pay him $40 for the right to
produce it..
In 1906. with David Belasco, he
wrote THE Rose of the Rancho, {"

of Paradise" which is second only
to Uncle Toms Cabin" in the num-

Baby Peggy's Future Pitfalls and Possibilities
BY JAMES w. DEAN

New York, Feb. 17.-0ne of the
most engaging and distinctive per.
sonalities of the screen is Baby Peggy.
She is more than n cute kid, turned
loose before the camera. She is an
accomplished actress. She is as prodi-
gious as Jackie Coogan.
Jackie Coogan's age is twice that
of Baby Peggy. He is only eight,
but already he has played Oliver
Twist. One wonders if Baby Peggy
will be so matured in the art of the
cinema at that age that she will I'M
dertake Juliet, or Carmen.
However, there is n long stretch
between BABY Peggy's present station
and the heights achieved by Jackie
Coogan. Unless she is nourished
more meticulously than she now is
she will wither in the budding.
What Baby Peggy neeGs is more
fincsse in direction. In her current
pictures only the comic side Of her
is seen. A child which is consistent
ly and continually funny is likely TO
be regarded as smart alec.
Jackie COogan made an immediate
and lasting impression in "The Kid"
because he supplied the pathetic
element of that comedy. His father
and mother. in their gears of con-
tact with the public. gained a cer-
tain acumen in gauging reactions of
audiences. They saw to it that
Jackie's subsequent films created the
same emotional reactions as those
resulting from THE Kid" The boys
comedy with shot through with
pathOs.
Until lately. the world was kept
informed of Jackie Coogan by one
Harry Wilson. Wilson was con-
sentative and judicious. The things
that focused attention on Jackie
were not sensational. They made
stories that created an enduring
prestige.
Those handling Baby Peggy ap-
parently are considering only the
present moment. The stories select
ed for her films show little keenness
of PERCEPTION. little attention to the
of audiences. Her pic
lures entertain only for the moment.
No situation in any of them sticks in
the memory.
If the producers Of Baby Peggy's
comedies will put tear or two into
them. something that will get under
the skin and smart the inward man.

New York, Feb. 17.-"Java Head, y
is probably Hergesheimer's best story.
George Melford has made n fairly
faithful movie of it and it seems TO
bear out the assertion made in this
column several weeks ago that Her
gesheimer is craftsman of words
rather than of action.
This photoplay is an authentis pic
ture of O"r crinOline days when girls
wore hoOpskirts. The exteriors were
taken in Salem, Mass, and are, of
course, authentic. Great attention was
paid to small details and thus we see
four-post beds, quilts, plaid and
fringed tablecloths, heavy oval pic
ture frames and other things char
acteristic of the early American
home.
II one is interested in historical re-
search this Is an exceptional picture,
but dramatically it doesn't pass mus
ter. That is because Raymond Hatton
was the only one in the east who
seemed to have an inspiration in his
work.
This film. again presents the silly
spectacle Of an occidental girl trying
10 portray all oriental role. Leatrice
Joy as the Chinese bride looks more
like Tom NclgLan than a Chinese.
When the movies have such tai
ented oriental actresses as Anna
May Wong it seems reasonable TO
expect them to be cast in oriental
parts, rather than a western lady
who brings only a lip-stick and mas
caro- to the roc.
Hatton plays the role Of n dope
! fiend and leaves definite impression
5of having stepped into the character.

show business are Preparation, Pro
duction and Presentation, and the
greatest OF these is Preparation, y
Tuly says. II took two years TO
write The Bird and another year of
preparation before produced it.
That, | think is the best answer for
the plays popularity"
Tully recently returned from
Paris where he filmed many scenes
for "Trilby." He engaged Andrea
La Fayctte for the title role. That
isn't her real name. He told me her
name and spelled it. but forgot it
two minutes later. That was excellent
illustration of the point he had just
made about names.
"Names OF plays and players mean
dollars and cents" Tully said. Il
learned that, among many other
things, from David Belasco. The
shOwmanship of many our our leaders
is based on their training with
Belasco.
"Belasco pointed out to me that
after dinner someone suggests Il
show for the evening. The paper is
brought in and the list OF plays
scanned. Finally the finger stops at
a title easy to say and the party goes
10 that performance. The cmbar.
rassment of trying to pronounce the
more difficult name of wOrthier
show was not riskcd."
Perhaps you know that Viola Dana
and Shirley Mason were once Viola
and Leona Flugrath and that Mary
Pirkford was once Mary Smith.
Showmanship is largely n matter

That sizes up the external charac-
ter of Peer Gynt. But what of the

Thus we see Peer circumYentinS the

dreaming of glories but afraid to
take hold of them lest they fasten
his soul within his body.
And in the end he tries to circum-
vent the greatest verify of all, Death.
He hasn't accomplished enough Of
good to die and he can't prove that
he has ,sinncd enough TO die.
All this appears to me to have
been intended by Ibsen as a picture
symbolical of the life most of us
live. Interpretations of the symbols
will be as numerous and varied as

THEATER GUILD WINS
peer Gynt" Is Finest Production 1t
Has Yet Attempted.
By LANES ". DEAN.


New York, Feb. 16.-Since the
Moscow Art Theater came to Gotham
to present the art of the drama in
a higher form than it has yet beer
seen on this hemisphere the question
on all sides has been. "Why can't we
form such an organization in Amer
ica?"
The question has been answered,
at least to my satisfaction, by the
Theater Gould. Here is an organi-
cation devoted solely TO the artistic
side Of the thcater. The box office
is secondary consideration. This
scheme of things shas given to the
American stage in the past few years
such notable plays as "IIiliOm.' HE
Who Gets Slapped" Jane Clegg."
Mr.. PIN Passes By" and ar. U.
r."
And now comes "Peer Gynt." 1t
is finer production than any the
Guild has done before l doubt if
anything finer has been done in the
American the3ter. Hamlet" may be
the exception to that statement. 1t
would not be were not John Barry
more the protagonist. Barrymore is
Hamlet.
On the other hand Joseph Schild-
kraut is not Peer Gynt. He is Schild-
kraut in Peer Gynt's clothes, yet the
spirit of the play persists.
Excuses must be granted Schild-
kraut. Nobody except Henrik lbsen
who created him knows just what or
who Peer Gynt was.
William Archer, the London critic
who made the translation, says
"Peer Gynt made compromise of his
rule of life, shrank from any decisive,

of experience. In filming "The Mas
querader," his first picture, Tully
met, with problems in double expos
ure that had not occurred before
in the industry. In one episode one
man lights a cigaret for another.
Guy Bates Post played both roles.
Drifting smoke presented a difficulty
that at first seemed insurmountable
In cutting the film the, stream of
smoke would end abruptly. If photo
graphed in reverse the current of
smoke would move in the wrong di-
rection. Tully called in Wilfrid
auckland, art director and a veteran
Snowman. auckland wrapped n lit
tic cigar in cigaret paper. No smoke
curled W from the little cigar, as ii
would have done from a cigaret.
Tully may profess to be only a
Snowman. but talking with him
few minutes about the screen
and the stage you are convinced that
he is deep student of art and the
arts. / had said something about art
being simply a stimulation of life, the
nearer the stimulation the greater the
art. "Yes, that's true" Tully an
swered, "but art deals with life in its
evolutionary phases. 1t isn't simply
a didactic matter" And then he
quoted Aristotle and this philosopher
and that dramatist and the other au-
thority. So you see, a Snowman is
something more than a man who
ballyhoos sideshOw.

Money and Art.

Comment on Second Fiddle" and
"The Voice From the Minaret" is
linked here because a joint considera-
ton of the two films points moral.
The moral is: 1t Takes More Than
Money to Make Good Movie.
Second Fiddle" was made by the
Film Guild. a group of young fellows
who gamble what little they have TO
gamble that they can create pictures
that will be at once artistically and
financially successful. Their re-
sources are limited.
The Voice From the Minaret"
was made by Joe Schenck. man
who has made much money in the
movie business and therefore has
much money to invest in making
more pictures.
Second Fiddle" is simple.
modest story. 1t is expressed on
the screen in simple terms. 1t deals
in the significance of little things
and familiar situations. Its appeal
to the emotions and the understanding
is direct.
\ country boy plays second fiddle
10 his college brother, at home, in
the community and in an affair of
the heart. A conspiracy of circum-
stances points to the younger one
as Il coward and the older one as a
hero. In the end the younger one
proves his mcttle and is justly re-
warded.
Glenn Hunter. one of the best
pantOmimists of the screen. is the
hero of the story. Mary AstOr.
trained from childhood for a career
in the films. is the heroine. Each of
these young protagOnists submcrgeS

exterior, along such a highway as
might be found anywhere. Those
sets didn't cost a red penny. The in
teriors ere few. but sufficient.
The ultimate result OF this acting
and setting is a natural narrative
expressed in cinematic terms.

In itself this film is Of about aver

music it has an impressive reaction

Dr, R. w. Pullen, superintendent of health, was instructed by the health board at the regular meeting yester- day afternoon to confer with Super irtendent Stanley H. Holmes in an Lincoln street school.
 Dr. Gertrude J. kinsella said she is receiving reports from parents almost continually that children sometimes are put into the portable building and it is necessary for them to wear their outer wraps to keep warm. She said sometimes the temperature drops as low as 40 degrees and that children are always catching cold" There are four separate heating systems there, Dr. kinsella reported. and they and the present building are not satisfac- tory. It was the sense Of the board that it should cooperate with the school board to remedy this condition. but there was much comment upon the absence of a physician on the school committee on health and sani- tation.
 The milk committee reported that milk was being sold in practically all of the schools in the state, but that the handling of it was left to the in- divldual school.
 The municipal hospital committee reported that there are 10 patients there now. The board hopes that there will be no need to ask for an additional department appropriation this year. If was reported that the employees of the department will ask
