Facts About a Good Movie

IL view Of the strong inclination Of

than passing interest to discover that
Metro -Goidwyn, in making a screen
story OF the Leonid Andreyev stage
play, He Who Gets Slapped has
not only boldly brought to the screen
a play of distinctly high brow" an
tccedents, but has just as boldly re-
tanned the original Andreyev title in
stead Of substituting another con-
Ceived by the studio office boy.
Curiously enough, the production Of

that screen audiences detest So called

Victor Seastrom, the Sea ndinavian
genius. who, with Ernest Lubitsch
and Charlie Cha pIip. Is credited with
the creation of an entirely new screen
technique. Add to these 2 perform

tended as pure grotesquerie and an
atmosphere that is purposely conti-
mental in treatment. and the result
is 4 picture, which, by all the canons
OF Hollywood, should end in the near

ducers to bankruptcy.
Let us examine for moment, how
ever, the mere box Office commercial
side of the picture, which, when it
left Hollywood was admitted to be a
colossal artistic success and just as
