lamar Lane Tells What Is
Wrong Now and How
Change May Be
Brought About.

WHATS WRONG WITH THE
MOYIEs9" by lamar Lane. The way-
erly company. Los Angeles, publishers.
Mr.. Lane answers his question in
a very full and frank way. in this
paragraph;
I'VE have no philanthropists. no
martyrs, no elfsaerlficing geniuses,
no artists and no real leaders in the
silent drama. Nothing but business
men and business women-money.
money, money. Not semblance of
the spirit that moves workers in other
arts. Not one wiling to risk penny
or even his time that the photoplay
might be advaIced. But let anyone
arise 10 cast a surring word against
the art of the screen and on the NOR
row there are thousand voices
raised unto the sky in indignant
wrath"
He goes very carefully into all
phases of the moving picture indus
try. considering the producers, the
authors, the exhibitors, the actors, the
directors, the censors, the critics and
the public. Between them he dis
tributes the blame for the neglect of
art and the apotheosization Of busi-
ness. Some OF his conclusions may
strike the reader as being extreme,
but they are the free thought of one
who knows the whole story, and who
has the fine courage to set 1t down in
words that can be understood, even
IL some of them do scorch and
blister.
For the envoi of his work, Mr..
Lane concludes:
the directors
There is something wrong with
the actors
There is something wrong with
the producers
There is something wrong with
the authors
There is something wrong with
the censors-
'orhere Is something wrong with
the comedians
There is something wrong with
the exhibitors
There is something wrong with
the critics
But the movies. themselves, bless
them-they are all right"
Whether this we'll timed protest
will have any effect on the movie is
uncertain. The men who are in the
business are in 1t frankly for the
money they get out Of 1t. The patrons
are content-at least, they pay their
money to see what Is set before them,
and 1t Is sometimes very hazardous
to try to make people take something
they do not want We are not GER
tain If the art impulse in America
has yet reached that stage where a
moving picture depending on art
alone will get over.
