Dancing Mothers" was the

One was gem from the mines OF
poetic inspiration; the other a very
ornate and shining specimen of
factory product.

Neither was new in theme. The
clown crossed in love we had
recently in "He Who Gets Slapped"
The mother who resolves to beat the
rising generation at its own game
or at least to pose by simulated
wickedness as a horrible example Of
fast living-was so piquantly por-
trayed by Mrs. Fiske that when the
curtain closed on her final scene in
Helena's Boys" there seemed to be
little left to say on the subject. The

Bravo" has been immortalized in
story and i'll song. He is an
elemental figure in romance. His
appeal is universal, for there are few
members of the human race who do
not feel themselves objects of self
interest as they wear "a smiling face
to hide a secret sorrow"

IN an effort to give instructions as
to the rearing of youth implies only
fash of criticism addressed to a
passing eccentricity of social econ
omy. The freedom of youth is a
custom of the day. 1t may be relied
on to correct itself, since the parents
of the future are likely to be so
highly sophisticated and so cynical
that their children will be sur
rounded with Puritanical restraint
About three generations should
suffice to complete the cycle from
Puritanism back to Puritanism. The
theater will go on as usual, depicting
changing conditions in terms OF
protest more or less genuine; often
imagining that it is welding word
weapons in a moral fray, when in
reality it is only reporting progress.

the art OF the theater and aloof

ment 1t is a study in histrionic ex-
preston, and bears something the
relation to the theater OF general
entertainment that absolute music
bears to opera. The play sets forth
two grotesquely contrasting types in
a nerve specialists waiting room; a
man who weeps and cannot laugh
and a man who laughs and cannot
weep. The idea is Latinistic

moment the possibility OF Grand

Taking the Silence
Out of Silent Drama

HTAkING the silence out Of silent
drama has become one Of the
most interesting features of motion
picture entertainment" according to
William De Mile, himself an amateur
musician.
Music settings to films have pro-
gressed just as fast az motion picture
production, and a great part of the
success of the finer photoplays has
been due to the musicianship with
which colorful settings have been
prepared at the picture theaters.
ITO most persons who attend mo-

is merely an accompaniment" Mr..
De Mile points out. But while mu-
