BELASCO PLANS TO
INST|LL NEW IDEA
INTO FILM PLAYS
Noted Director Hints Of Great
Method in Adapting Stage
Successes,
By JAMES W. DEAN

TEW YORK, June 9.-Many have
believed that David Belasco's
new connection with the movies
would mean he would simply look
over finished films of his plays. make
them.
This writer, until now, belonged to
that group. Screen rights to Belasco
stage successes are worth so much
that it seemed they offered conve-
nient shortcut to wealth TO the wiz
ard of the stage.
However, I have information direct
ly from Belasco that he plans to put
his own original ideas into the screen
versions of his plays. He leaves for
Hollywood within a few days to at
tend the screening Of Tiger Rose
in which Lenore Uric will star.
IT am exploring a new field"
Belasco says. Il realize that the
human voice upon which I have de-
pended 50 much on the stage will be
absent and that facial expression
must portray emotion. But perhaps
facial expressions alone will not sat
isfy me. There are 50 many ways
in which emotion may be portrayed,
ways that have not been used I
shall have new lighting effects, new
subjects, many new things"
Belasco to Fix
High Standard for Movies
Belasco's attitude Is worthy Of emu
laton by a great host Of authors and
artists who have come into tho cinema
fold with the avowed intention Of help
ing the humble movie. The chief fault,
Of these latter is they have not under
stood, as Belasco understands, that
they are working with new material
and new implements. Writers have
tried to make the screen literary.
Stage directors have tried to make 1t
only dramatic. Artists have tried to
make 1t simply pictorial. Belasco be-
lieves that he can bring improvement
to motion pictures by developing new
things, things that are peculiarly Of
and for the screen. He is willing to
discard the methods that were effec-
tive in his past experience in stage
craft and which he believes will not
work in his new craft.
1T would be useles for me to go
into pictures unless felt that could
bring to the screen something which
no one else has brought to It," Bel
asco says. My method will be my
own. I viii not try to copy anything
that has been done. Though few
may know It, have been studying

Blanche Yurl1a Plays
Jane Cows Famous Role

Romance, with its delightful aspir-
ing aspects as we'll as its dramatic
moments, is the essence Of the COM
edy, "smiun' Through" which the
members of the Stuart Walker conf
pany will present at the Murat
Theater beginninf Monday night.
On the occasion of its original pro
duction several years ago, under the
personal direction Of Jane COwl,
"sniIin' Through" was acclaimed as
enc Of the most fascinating plays OF
the decade.
"Smilin' Through" is the story Of
an overpowering love and an unnlas-
tered hate covering a period of fifty
years When Moonyeen Clare is shot
down by drunken sutton on the eve
Of her marriage. there arises a hate
in the bosom Of her bereaved lover
which extends over a period of fifty
years, centering on the innocent son
of the man VINO committed the deed,
and who loves and is loved by the
daughter Of the sister of the unfOr-
tunate young prospective bride.
Finally, however, in a most unusual
manner. the spiritual slove which he
bears for the one who was taken from
him on the eve Of his great happiness
asserts itself, and an end is reached
which emphasizes the unique and fas-
tdnating construction Of the piece.
"Smilin' Through" IS In three acts

THAT labor unions and brotherhoods
waive regulations which operate against
the employment of disabled men, and
