Laughs and Tears.

I'm nearly every laugh on the screen

ducer B. P. Schulberg.
For my part" continues the pro-
ducer, II would far rather turn out
dramatic pictures. They are much
easier to make. But the public wants
its diet varied, SO we must mix their
tears with laughter.
THE laughter the audiences get
from a clever situation, or the funny
antics Of q screen comedian, prob
ably brought copious tears to the peo-
pie engaged In getting those laughs
into the film.
This is not only true of what we
call high comedy-the hardest type
to transmit to the screen-but 1t is
, equally true of slapstick. High COM
edy requires the most comsummate skill.
1t takes real artistry to play q light
role effectively.

matter to throw q custard pie. But
to throw that pie so as to retain in
terest and to evoke a howl from an
audience-that's another thing.
"It is getting these laughs across
that cost the screen people heart
aches and tears. Very frequently q
simple scene has to be taken over and
over again. 1t is hard, but 1t must be

AT THE SIGN OFTHE SILVER SHIP.
BY Stanley Hart Cauffman. H.
lustrated by Frank E. Schoonover
Philadelphia: The Penn Publish
ing Co.
This romance of old colonial days
was put to the severest of tests be-
fore IL was turned over for your ap-
proval. You can hardly do less than
to accept with confidence tale whose
telling served to beguile the little
boy who sat propped up in bed" to
hear it, long before it went into print.
Children know a story when they
meet one better than we do. At any
rate, here is a colonial story, set first
in Philadelphia and wandering out
therefrom up into the Valley of the
Wissahickon, where modestly stood
the hostelry of the Silver Ship. The
most Of the turbulent to-do of which
this romance is made was in the
Silver Ship itself, or in its near neigh
borhood. When the great business
begins its hero, Basil. is not much
more than q, boy. When it ends he
has grown to hero size, for time
works fast with youngsters. In the
Inn there Is the keeper-good, foolish
Uncle Dickon, with whom the boy
lives, and the wonderful aunt, and a
girl. Quite enough these to start a
story. But there are doings besides,
much more heroic stuff than this
gentle group could set a-going.
Piracy comes close to this place, or
smuggling the half-brother of this
sterner enterprise. There are gallant
men and lovely ladies and treachery
and all the devilry that a by-gone day
is able to put across for US in a
bland and guileless sincerity. Viii
lainy and love are the mainsprings of
this tale of that old day and-as is
altogether right-each gets its proper
reward. And we read in an increasing
enjoyment, glad of rest from the
documentary novels that have no
more real juice in them than a sucked
orange. A f1rst-rate story of pure ad-
venture given over, though, in a
genial simplicity that gives to II an
altogether believable quality.
