TEW YORK, June %. - The
American theatergoer is to ex-
perience a mental intimacy with
players behind the footnghts.
Excepting in the instances of only
a few vaudeville performers. the
footnghts erect a subtle, but i'm
passable barrier between those in the
audience and those on the stage. The
substitution Of other lighting effects
for the footlights in the past few
years has been with the purpose of
breaking down that barrier.
The follies, the frolics, the scandals
and other forms of revue have pro
jected runways into the audience in
an endeavor to bring about a greater
intimacy between performer and
spectator. However. the appeal of
this form Of entertainment has always
been largely physical.

A DOLPH luxor, president of
IA the Famous PLAYERS Lasky

A DOLPH luxor, president of
"A the Famous Players asky
Corporation, has informed this
department that he offers an annual
prize of $4,000 for the best movie
produced and exhibited in theaters
of this country.
1t is hoped that new writers will
become interested and in this way
increase the number Of movie authors.
The screen needs new and original
stories. Many well-known writers
have tried their hand at movie writ
ing. Some have succeeded and others
have failed.
OF the many noveiists whose sto-
RES have been adapted for the screen,
Booth Tarkington's Penrod stories are
the outstanding ones, in my opinion.
Writers should attempt to get away
from the beaten paths. and to be sue
cessfu1 one must know what the pub
lie Is interested in from an amuse-
rnent standpoint.
