All the wealth of melody of which
Shubert was a master, is poured
in unstinted measure into this super

love, despair and joy through the
language Of music. There are haunt

score, the Ave Maria" THE Sere-
made" and the "Song of Love" are
well embodied like radiant gems in
this jewel Of a musical play.

HALE DISCOVERS
WHY MOVIE PUBLIC
IS SADLY BORED
Noted Actor Declares There
Are Too Many Copy Cats
Among Producers,
By JACK JUNGMEYER

ri OLLYWOOD, Sept 1.-The
IF movies fairly purr with stale
III limitations of the copy-cats. Di-
rectors copying their conferees; pro
ducers doing the lock-step; asteroids
emulating stars; all but the few in
each copy category making film trac-
ings of the other fellows stuff-and
wondering why the public yawns.
One example of this imitativeness,
almost as shopworn as the late lament
about the scarcity Of a certain fruit,
will serve to conjure many others.
Some years ago Mae Marsh, I think,
it was, initiated the little kick of
ecstacy as she was being kissed. Since
then every ingenue kicks as she kisses,
and if she doesn't feel like kicking, the
director makes her. Sweet line Of as
terisks!
How refreshing then, how like a
spring in the desert, the play of orig
inaIity on the screen. All of which is
a pertinent, if bit roundabout intro
duction to an interview with Creighton
Hale.
4 T. T.
RI ALE is not a copy-cat Actor

with discretion every trick Of his

1T is. Of course, no easy thing to
avoid the stereotyped manner. When
young men and women of the screen
almost daily watch the performances
of their stage elders and betters, the
tendency to copy their organizations
is almost irresistible. I believe every
intelligent youngster has to fight
against it. Dor myself. stay away
from the movies on that account.
And 1 never go to a play in which
there is a character or role similar

a chance at unconscious influence.

bits Of acting, tricks of expr ession,
technical details garnered here and
there and popping out under the mask
of originality.
"Of course, the personal manner
must be somewhat guided by dramatic
requirements. Originality has rather
close limitations for the screen actor.
And it is only when tricks and man
nerisms are obvious steals from an
other or when a whole school of imi-
tators parade them through picture
after picture, that the practice be-
comes positively nauseous."
