Screen Culture and Actors.

THE effect that photoplay work has
l upon a players art has again
been opened up by the success OF
Miss Alice Brady in her return to
the speaking stage" via vaudeville.
Those who recall Miss Bradys last
stage appearance before she became
Il photoplay star are OF the opinion
that something happened 10 her art
during the two years she spent in the
studio. To those who have not
fathomed the mysteries of the mo-
ton picture players technique it is
thought that the omething-What
ever il is-has given Miss Brady Il
sense of poise that is gained only
through the experience of years be
hind the footlights.
The explanation of experts of the
silent drama lifts the studio curtain
and gives the uninitiated 4 chance to
See the cinema wheels go round.
y scene in which q picture player
Is called upon to express given mo-
ton, it is said, takes considerably
longer time to photograph than is
required in it's showing on the screen
The hand that reaches out suddenly
to Ca ten convulsively at some object
is extended with. what by compari-
son, appears TO be the utmost deliber-
alton
Til" natural result Of this upon the
player, it is explained, is to devcioI
that most important OF historionit
attributes. the art OF repression. y
sense of poise is said 10 come with
the cultivation OF this talent, and
the player returning from screen 20
. the spoken stage has learned that
some of the most impressive moments
in role can be played with a mini
mum Of gesture.
OF course, il IS added, not all play
ers profit by this experience to the
extent so noticeable in the work of
Miss Brady. That she is drawing
dividends from her studio experience
is as much tribute TO her power of
assimilation as it is to her art.

adapted from Jeffrey Farnols The
Definite Object" were photograph
recently under the direction of r. II.

William A. Brady's play by Jules
Eckert Goodman, THE Man Who
Came Back" The story carries the
hero from New York to Shanghai and
return, during which time he endures

Chinese opium den, the woman who
is to regenerate him and herself.
Scenes are laid in China, Honolulu

In the play the leading parts were
