In MOnON PICTURES
By CECIL B DE MILE

BY CELL b LIE MILL
One Of the greatest pitfalls into
which those OF US who make pic
cures are apt to fall is the ten
1ency to think too largely of mo-
lon pictures as a pictorial art.
Motion pictures, successful mo
ton pictures, have always been
and always will be 80 per cent
drama.
Motion pictures must have dra-
matte action intensified far be-
yond that of the stage because of
the lack Of the speaking voice.
1t is a pity hat so many of our
younger directors become so en-
crossed in creating individual
charming pictures on. the screen
that they forget 10 create thu
clash of characters, that process
sion of situations, which is the
sole and only thing that can hold
the attention of an audience
through a feature photoplay.
l would like to see in motion pic
lures a return to that intensive
study of pure dramatic technique
which was so essential part of the
training of those who wrote for
the stage in the days before my
brother and myself left legitimate
drama for the screen,
Technique IS far more impor-
tant than soul What does it count
if an individual scene is very, very
beautiful if it fails to fit in tempo

at least one new and distinct thrill
for the entertainment and amuse-
ment of movie fans. The resource

exceptions the stunts performed by
Tom Mix in his latest picture.

be among the most daring ever at

In this picture, which will be
shown at the Rylander next Satur-
day, Mix mounted, leaps a canyon
twenty feet wide and ninety feet
deep. The story is built around a
bunch Of cattle rustlers, with Mis-
pursuing a stage coach in which
the leader Of the band is riding. To
throw off pursuit the rustler has a
bridge over a deep canyon destroy
ed after the coach has passed over
safely. Mix rides up to the can
yon and after taking a short run
back for a good start, successfully
forces his horse over the chasm and
continues the chase.
This scene, which flashes on the
screen for but a few minutes. had
to be carefully planned because of

The Clutcher.

The "clutcher" is one shade worse
than the gimme" At least the
gimme" bestows a shadow OF recog-
nition of ones rights. He makes a
show of permitting one to release the
thing he covets. but the, clutcner
makes no bones about il. He reaches
and lays hold and holds on and noth-
ing but force Will part him from
what he has taken for his own.
It's mine" he howls. his face tied
in a crimson scowl and his hands
knotted into clutching claws. It's

Perhaps he is, but. YOU see. ne was
born clutching and kept on clutching
when he should have stopped. He
never grew past that stage of his
growth Maybe he liked to feel that
he could hold on and that feeling
grew so strong that he felt he must
clutch things to keep happy. Per
haps he didn't feel comfortable with
empty hands. So many people don't,
you know.
But. of course. somebody should
have noticed that he was getting that
way and gravely and sweetly loosened
his curling fingers and put something
that couldn't be clutched, a bouncy
ball, for instance. into them.
Nobody did. Perhaps his mother
was one of the people who say. oh.
now, let him have IL. You're a big

Or maybe he was the only child in
the house and he clutched things to
cheer himself up. Even clothespin
can keep a person company. and if
there is no other companionship. If
there are no people to talk to and
play with. one has to have things.
One clutches hard at the things one
loves.
That's the story. isn't it? That's
why you shrink from the clutcher
ana murmur, Terrible child You
know that he has learned to clutch
for the wrong thing and YOU picture
what is going to become of him by

When he was little and his empty
hands demanded that they be filed
he clutched the nearest things; bulky
ones that he could feel: loud ones that
made a fine noise: weighty ones that
satisfied the pull of his eager hands.
And as he grew he found that
filing his hands still left them empty.
That the things he had learned to
clutch to him would never. never fill
the emptiness. But, of course, he
never knew why because nobody had
taken the great trouble to teach him
that he must learn to let go so that
he might really have.
So he will walk the earth forever
bowling. It's mine. Mine and

A Text for Hard Times.

MY times are in thy hand.-PSa IN
xxxi.15.
The man who wrote this psalm had
passed through the bitter school Of
disappointment.
His plans had failed: his enemies
exalted over him; his friends and
neighbors had gone back on him and
forsaken him.
He was having very hard times.
But he did not despair
He bore up and carried on.
He could say confidently TO God
My times are in Thy hand"
Not only today which is so dark
and tomorrow which looks so gloomy
and the long future with all it's un-
Certafnties; but also all the unknown
between-times. the connecting links
of life. are ruled and controlled by
God.
This is a kind of fatalism. YOU may
think; but it is the right kind of
fatal!sm.
For it does not subject us to the
caprice of chance. nor to the stern
compulsion of an unconscious neces-
sltN, but to the will of an all-wise
and all-merciful Father.
Happy and strong and brave shall
we be-able to endure all things. and
to do all things-if we believe that
every day. every hour. every moment
OF our life is in His hands

Peter Rabbit RubS His Eyes.

Peter Rabbit.
Peter Rabbit tried to forget Danny
and Nanny Meadow Mouse, but he
couldn't Every once in while the
thought Of them would pop into his
head as he scampered about through
the Green Forest. on the Green
Meadows and up in the Old Orchard.
1t seemed to him that he missed
them more and more. He hadn't the
least little doubt that they had been
caught and eaten by one OF their
many enemies.
Early one morning Peter happened
along on the edge of the alder thicket
just above the Smiling Pool 1t was
long time since he had been over
there. 1t was very long time. In
fact, he hadn't been there since early
In the spring, when he paid his re-
spects to Redwing the Blackbird on
his return from the Sunny South.
He wasn't paying particular atten-
tion to anything as he scampered
along, y-lipperty-lip. The fact
Is, he was in hurry to get to the
Smiling Pool to call on Grandfather
Frog. He had some questions he
wanted to ask Grandfather Frog. who
10 accounted Otu ana very wise.
But just as he was passing that alder
thicket he caught a glimpse of a
little gray form disappearing in the
grass. Peter stopped abruptly. That
little gray form had had a short tail
Peter knew that no one but d Meadow
Mouse has a tail like that.
1T must be that one of the chill
dren of Danny and Nanny Meadow
Mouse are living over here" said he
Perhaps now | can find out what
happened to Danny and Nanny"
Peter sat down and kept perfectly
still. but while he was keeping per-
fectly still he was looking sharply
Right away he discovered several
little paths in the tall grass He
knew that no one but Meadow
Mouse could have made those tiny
paths. The grass was SO tan that
those paths We're almost like little
tunnels. Peter watched the one in
Evening star., 1923-07-13

He had seen the living image of
Danny Meadow Mouse. Yes, sir, he
had seen the living image of Danny
Meadow Mouse! Do you wonder thdt
he rubbed his eyes?
Peter continued to sit with his eyes
fixed on the place where that little
face had disappeared He didn't have
to wait long. In fact. it was only a
few minutes before that face reap
peared. Again Peter rubbed his eyes
Whats the matter with your eyes,
Peter Rabbit?' squeaky little voice
inquired and the two bright little
eyes watching him twinkled
Danny Meadow Mouse" exclaimed
Peter and his tone sounded as If he
didn't believe what he was saying.
"Certainly," replied the squeaky
little voice. Did you think it was
my ghost?'' Then Danny Meadow
Mouse himself came out of that little
tunnel in the grass.
