Adapter Of ''The Covered Wagon"
A motion picture is a series OF
tiny photographs snapped" at
intervals OF from one-eighth to
one.one hundredth of q second
apart and then rapidly jerked,
one after the other, in front of q
powerful lamp, the rays of which
project them. against a screen
where, thanks to the persistence
Of vision, they appear to dupli-
cate the exact physical aspects OF
the objects thus depicted.
There are not a great many
people who would presume to say
they could improve on the motion
picture by way of mechanical ap-
pliance or substitution. But
there are about one hundred mil
lion people in the. United States
who might possibly admit they
could improve upon the subject
matter selected for motion picture
presentation, n
In the matter of presenting
news pictures scenic films, etc.,
I would not quarrel with that
great army Of volunteer critics.
1t does not require a great deal
Of originality to inform, interest
and instruct q large and diversi-
fled audience with that type Of
picture.
But when the purpose is to tell
a story by jerking tiny photo
graphs In front of an electric
lamp; there's the rub!
Very few men or women who
would think of pretending they
could compose a piece of music,
paint picture or model a statue
without a great deal of talent aided
by long years of study and prac-
tice. But-there are untold num-
bers of men and women who
would not hesitate for one mo-
ment to sit down and write a
stage play-or a picture play.
Well" hear you say, what
Is there so very difficult about
writing for these movies we see
day after day?"
In the first place, the motion
picture is an absolutely new
medium of expression, the like of
which had not obtained in human
experience previous to the advent
or motion pictures a few years
ago.
Therefore. up to the present
time. no one knows how to
write" motion picture. That
Is. no one has mastered this new
art to the extent that Balzac and
other great, or lesser, n3valists
knew how to write novels: or. TO
the extent that a first-rats
dramatist is pretty sure of his
ground when he sets about writ
ing play. One reason is an.
parent. The novelist and play.
wright have centuries of praced-
ent, tradition and example on
which to base their technique.
The photopiaywright has only
about ten years Of practise to

Pauline Frederick,
Director.

Pauline Frederick left New York
the latter part of last week for
the coast. She had just finished a
role in the production of LET Not
Men Put Asunder." Seemingly
this is to be Pauline's last screen
appearance for some time, at least
she indicated that it was her pur-
pose in the future to take up the
directorial end of motion pictures.
