Gives Reasons for
Picking Journey" Comedy

"a Pleasant Journey" is only two
reels long. I place it on my list be-
cause it is the most entertaining
comedy ever saw. 1t is one Of those
hilarious comics played by Hal
Roach's troup Of kids.
Each Of the pictures in the list is
there because it fulfilled the true
function of motion pictures better
than other pictures. That function
is to tell story. to create entertain
ment in the manner which is dietinc-
lively Of the medium employed.
Other pictures Of the first half Of
the year which seemed above the
average were; Poor Mems Wives"

WHAT WILL BE WHAT in the
legitimate theaters in Indianapolis
this fall and winter?
This question has been fired at me
many times in the last few days. Ny
idea of legitimate conditions for the
coming fall and winter season is most
promising.
Unless there is a strike, war or a
flood or something along that line,
the New York producers will send on
tour many productions next season.
Nelson Trowbridge is on his way
to New York to get his complete
plans for the 1923-1924 season at the

Defends "Slapstick"
In the Movies

Many who offered suggestions to
the Authors League for the improve
ment of the movies advocated the
elimination of slapstick comedy from
the films. They took the wrong at
titude Slapstick stuff has a definite
place on the screen, just as it has
on the stage.
"Back1re,' a new Jack White
comic starring Lige Conley, is made
up entirely Of slapstick and is an ex-
ceedingly funny and entertaining
comic.
Havelock Ellis in his new book,
''Tne Dance of Life holds that any
thing Which is an expression of self,
Of life. is art. Measured with that
standard. "Back1re," with all its slap
stick antics, must be considered a
great work of art, even by our high
brows.
In short. it is the story OF a pie
bejan f1ivver rejuvenated with new
Wives, winning a road race against
atistocratic. motors. 1t is the expires.
sion of self-sufficiency that rests in
the bosoms of all fiivver owners.
Had "Backf1re" been released be-
fore July 1. it would have been in
cluded in the list of the twelve best
pictures of the six-months' period.

when we opened rather cold in
Indianapolis almost five months ago
it was full knowledge that Indian

Berkell stated. "Of this we were
