''It has been good business to elimi-
nate the middleman whenever possible" ="
he continued. but for US he is pres
ent-day necessity because he does what
the high-grade author fails to do.
We need the authors faculty to
create situation. We want his faculty
to create action, characterization and
plot. We cannot use his interesting
discussions of mental processes unless
they are portrayable as Photographic
action.
I'VE had long struggle with the best
artists the stage could offer before we
developed a group Of actors capable

are ready TO do as much as some Of
our best actors have done. <then we will
listen with more patience to their howl
for uplift Of the screen.
Our only means of handling liter
ature is in subtitles. II a screen
story is not interesting with titles.
The subtitle is an opology for story
weakness and In Ave reels Of pic
ture we average from one thousand to
fifteen hundred feet Of apology.

tion pictures. What John does will
make motion pictures.
"Melodrama affords action and situa-

room drama offers little but dialogue
must move. Physical and natural beauty
can be Photographed. but spiritual
beauty must be shown through certain
actions of the one possessing it.
Making pictures is q business. Time
Is an important and costly element. We
have not time to do things with a story

Action Vital to the Phot0pIav

This Is the opinion of Allan Dwan,

cause he has been invited as one OF the
speakers at the international Congress
on Motion Picture Arts to be held under
New York on June and g..
Since the announcement OF the con-
sress many authors have been publicly
expressing their opinions OF the. prob
lem involved. and the assertion OF quite
number OF them Is that the trouble
with pictures is due to the fact that
directors and scenario writer's change
their works without warrant.
Mr.. Dwan.s retort is rather startling.
THE high-grade author is essentially
literary stylist whose thin thread of
story. delightfully."- told in well balanced
people say smart things and do little
We cannot photograph words. We must
have action
Mr.. Dwan admitted that often the
adaptor may not have hit upon the best
OF alterations. but he contends that the
authors protest becomes little more
than tiresome harping when the author
has failed to do the work himself
I'VE have no protest against iitera-
ture as such.' he continued. provided
We are not asked to photograph it.. We
admit the commercial value OF a popular
book or play and Of a well known au-

good plays and books suffer on the
screen. but we maintain that a great
portion Of the suffering is attributable
