METROPOLITAN-"The Lost
World"

First Nationals film version of Sir
Arthur Conon Doyle's The Lost
World" to be seen for the first time
in Washington this week at Gram
dalrs Metropolitan Theater. is per-
haps the most startling and perhaps
the most interesting picture of the
year, for in its foremost participants
are tyrannosauri, dinosaurs, bron-
tosauri, pterodactyls, triceratops
trachadons, diplodoci, allosauri and
other animal life supposed to have
existed on the earth in prehistoric
ages, but rediscovered in modern
times. These mammoth monsters are
made to come to life upon the screen
and do battle to the death, and the
human actors who appear In the same
scenes appear mere pygmies in COM
parison.
The temptation to dwell exclusively
upon these unique aspects of a dis
tinctly novel picture is so strong as
almost to bury the thought that there
is a really beautiful, romantic love
story threaded through the astonish-
ing developments of Sir Conan
Doyle's fanciful tale of a lost world
hidden in the unexplored center OF
the South American continent.
In the love story Lewis S. Stone
Bessie Love and Lloyd Hughes are
the principals, and forcefully COM
mand the interest, while the mighty
beasts are roaming about them and
adding thrill upon thrill. In this
strange combination THE Lost
World" becomes absolutely uncanny
The story concerns a scientist, who
starts out to vindicate himself by
producing tangible evidence of the
existence of the lost world" which
he has discovered. but which nobody
will believe.
In a majority of the "key' cities
of the country THE Lost World" has
been presented at prices ranging up
to $2.20 per seat. 1t will be shown at
the Metropolitan at the regular
scale in conformity with the fixed
Crandall policy. The bill also will
include the Metropolitan World Sur
vey and Paul Terry, latest Aesor
Fable cartoon comedy, with a brief
orchestral prelude by the Metropoli-
tan Symphony, Daniel Breeskin, con-
ductor. based on Dvorak's THE New
World Symphony" and an orchestral
setting for the picture suggesting
Love Everlasting" and The Lost
World" by Friml.

Future of the Scenario

Is the motion picture scenario des
tined to become q genuine literary
form Of art? Will the manuscript
from which a Aim Is dramatized take
its place alongside the great dramatic
contributions that are handed down
through the centuries to be read for
pleasure, instruction and entertain
ment?
Milton Sills, one of the college bred
men Of the screen, believes such will
be the future Of the now humble
scenario. He has some interesting
ideas on the subject.
Right now" says Stills. II believe
we are in the same position as the
predecessors Of Shakespeare. Marlowe,
Green and Peele, who forged blank
verse and the technique Of the Shake
spearian drama. We are forging a
medium for some man Of genius who
will succeed US.
1--WE who work in the silent drama
have certain artistic ideals and asptra-
tions. We have an enthusiasm for
beauty and for the production OF fine
things that can be made on the screen.

sonality that failed to register until
he met Brown Eyes and the rough
men of the plains.
1t Is as he-Dlan in chaps and
spurs, armed with a pearl-handled,
.22-caliber revolver, that Buster at
tains his atavistic triumphs In the
Far West, after having been kicked
off freight trains by some Of the best
brakemen in the East. His attach
ment for Brown Eyes, incidentally,
furnishes the story with it's big
punch.
A new Juvenile comedy. "Baby, Be
