Modern Foreign Drama in
Films.

FOR the last several years there
has been a dearth of satisfac-
tory motion picture story material.
1t was at first supposed that the pc
culiar technique of the movie would
develop a distinctive type, of author
ship, but such has not been the case,
and the problem of the producers has
been hard one to solve.
Just at the time motion picture
producers and directors were begin
ming to tear their hair over the futile
search for new stories an entirely new
field of literature was opened to them,
however.
Russian drama and modern foreign
plays were taking New Workers by
storm and unheard-of prices were
being paid to see what was declared to
be a new art on the stage.
Practically the first attempt to pic
turize any Of the new satirical plays
was the filming by Victor Seastrom OF
Adreyev's He Who Gets Slapped" "
The experiment was watched with in
terest by the entire motion picture In
dustry. 1t was admitted that Sea-
strom might make a remarkable pic
ture Of it, but at the same time doubt
ran high as to whether the financial
return would justify his artistry.
To the surprise Of every one, He
Who Gets Slapped" proved financial
success. -
1t was then that John M. Stahl
turned to this new field for his next
picture.
