make quick shifts with the camera

Criticizing the Movie.

that the public is no longer content
with merely a peppermint boy and
butterscotch girl love story. More
substantial fare is demanded. Photo
plays must delve deeper than the sur
face; must get down into the souls and
lives of real people. | am feeling this
challenge with special keenness at
this moment when l am starting The
Road TO Yesterday my first attempt
as an independent film producer.
Let me return again, in closing, to
that viewpoint l think we should all
hold when turning our attention to
judgment of motion pictures. Per-
sonally, always try to crowd out any
individual thoughts, and to view the
Offering not as one but one hundred
people, all in different walks of life.
Try this idea sometime. You will be
surprised to find how it will alter your
opinion as to the worth of a specific
bit of entertainment.
Most certainly we who make mo-
ton pictures have erred in our pro
lection room judgments. Time after
time have seen pictures which every
one classed as failures in a cold pro-
lection room go out and make a mar
velous success. One specific instance
is a picture which appeared about five
years ago over the protests of 80 per
cent of the officials of the company
concerned in its release. This picture
has crossed to date over S1,500,000.
There is only one real judge Of
pictures-the public. There is no
one who can always guess accurately

thought if we make our own judgment

New Leading Man Talks.

HIS name is Anthony Jowitt. He is
a very tall. slim young English
man who has the intriguing air Of
"one to the manner born" Every one
in Hollywood who saw him dancing at
the famous Montmartre Cafe wanted
to know who he was. The answer
came, That's Gloria's leading man in
the Cost of Folly
When interviewed. he talked about
Miss Swanson. He was very enthu-
siastic.
Playing opposite Miss Swanson has
meant a great deal to me-" said Mr..
Jowitt. she has been my favorite
actress for long time. l certainly
never expected to have this opportu-
nifty. She is a constant revelation.
Miss Swanson always has time to
tell you some helpful thing. In this
picture she knew l was somewhat in,
experienced, so she gave me hundred
hints that all helped.
I'm her home she is one of the most
gracious hostesses I have ever seen.
She is invariably pictorial Her con-
versation sparkles, and it is repartee
about interesting events, music and
books and people.
She is and always will be a great
example to me Of the heights one can
reach if one is in earnest"

THERE is but one standard by
which to intelligently evaluate
and criticize motion picture, accord
ing to Cecil B. DE Mile.
Motion pictures will always be
mass amusement" says Mr.. De Mile,
"a form of entertainment reaching
more widely into all branches and
gradations of society than any other.
They should be judged, therefore, not
upon isolated personal likes and dis
likes, but on a basis of their percent
age of appeal to the theater-going
public as a whole.
None of us, therefore, has the
right to say That is a rotten picture
If the yardstiCk is merely that of our
own surroundings, education, back
ground or prejudiCes.
1--WE don't all have the same tastes.
There are, however, certain fundamen-
tai likes and dislikes which appeal to
every one in greater or lesser degree.
1t is quite easy to imagine one person
only mildly amused at a bit of comedy
which would cause another group of
two, three or more to laugh uproar-
iously. The question of the enter
tainmeut value of that Offering should
not be based on either extreme, but an
effort should be made to strike a mean
average of the greatest number of
people entertained to the greatest
extent.
"A good motion picture must, first
of all, have a good, logical, clean-cut
human story A good story can make
a star: a bad story will ruin one. Most
certainly the story is all important.

That Is to say Mr.. MacFarlane com.

ment that today's standards render
absolutely imperative.
1t is safe to say that if Mr.. Mac
Farlane we're not possessed of a gen
uine fair for acting his success on the
stage would have been limited. For it
is advanced he was born to leading
roles and could never have resorted
to that happy refuge of many an actor
limited in resource to acting types and
characters. Either he must have been
a leading man or nothing.
Physically, MacFarlane is a strap
ping big chap, clean cut and gifted
with a magically toned voice that has
in it the faintest trace of Scotch-with
no reference TO the beverage intended.
He was born in Edinburgh and edu-
Gated there for the law, relinquishing

On Broadway he played opposite

Betty on Then and Now

THE women and girls of today do

she is so quoted.
Betty has been reading literature,

cries about the status of women in
the middle OF the last century which
have both surprised and amused her.
she was then preparing for her pic
ture, Not So Long Ago"

here's what he says: Home is the

is the monarch Of that little empire,
wearing a crown that is a gift from
heaven, swaying a scepter put into
his hands by the Father of all, ac-
knowledging no superior, fearing no
rival and dreading no usurper.' Can
you imagine a man of today feeling
as safe as that about his family?
And in this same book a Mrs.
Emery writes, addressing her remarks
to husbands: Sometimes yield your
wishes to hers. She has preferences
as strong as you, and it may be just
as trying to her TO yield her choice to
YOU. Do not find it hard to yield to
her sometimes But she evidently

XITILLIAM S. HART'S fame as a
w rider has sometimes placed him
ir, embarrassing positions, as witness
the experience which befell the Ia
nous Western star when, some years
ago, he had to go to New YORK TO
make scenes for a picture.
1t was necessary to get a horse
with O. long name and tan, ana, as
most of the equines in Manhattan
have their names reached and talls
docked. it was not an easy task.
Finally a Kentucky thoroughbred
with the necessary qualifications was
found bv the director. 1t was a big,
powerful horse and seemed quite
gentle.
The scene required Bill to chase
taxi up Sixth avenue and into Cen
trail Park, where he was to eaten up
with the car and drag the villain
from the seat without slackennS
speed to any extent. The cameras
were all ready; Bill mounted the horse
and kicked once-and only once.
Il never went through a street
anywhere half so fast" he says, de-
scribing the incident. Cameras, Oil

distance ! tried every trick known,
but 1 couldn't stop him. L headed
him toward the rear end of trolley
car and that eased him UP a bit, but
Just as soon as he could he got around
the car and kept going until we hit
the bride path in the park.
When I passed the taxi 1t was
standing still or coming backward
or so it seemed. Finally, around

losing his authority, and you will find
that here lies a wife's great power
over her husband. Be open as the
day to his inspection and never make
an effort to conceal from him aught
which ii is proper he should know
Now, there is something for modern
wives TO think about.
And in Godey's Magazine Park
Benjamin asks oratorically:
Where, l may be asked. is the
true sphere of woman? Where is the
seat of her dominion? My answer is:
Home! Home, which has been elo-
quently called the highest, holiest
place in which human agency can
act. Much to be deplored is any cir
cumstance which draws a woman
from this sacred sphere
And here is some more advice of
that period, which shows how sinful
it is for a woman to even dream of
stepping out of the home. A writer
of the time said:
Whenever genius indisputably ex-
lists in girl. there let parents frankly
acknowledge It's existence, and on that
admission ground a simple but seri.
Gus incubation of these doctrines
that to possess intellect is an acci-
dent, not merit; that it is by no
means a novelty, and that superior
knowledge is worthless without active
virtue. Parents must learn to regard
as nothing short of sin all efforts 10
stimulate girls mind for the gratifi-
cation either of their vanity or hers.
Stimulate the sensibilities of your
boys, but blunt those of your girls
I'm China they used to have a much
more simple method. They threw the
superfluous girls into the river"

Strand Getting Ready.

GENERAL MANAGER SPARROW
of the Strand Theater, who has
been making almost weekly trips to
New York during the past two
months, arranging for vaudeville pro-
grams for the coming months, re-
turned last night with everything set
for the inauguration of ''the greatest
season ever experienced by the pop
day, August ..
In the last two or three years the
Strand has built a reputation for
merit in stage and screen attractions
second to none for presentation at
minimum price of admission. Its
slogan is two shows for the price
of one :"
The same policy as to attractions
and prices will prevail during the
coming season.
The Strand heads the Southern cir
cult of Loew Vaudeville theaters and
promises only the best and newest
of European and American variety
attractions, some of them such as are
seldom, if ever, surpassed in Wash
ington. Indeed, no less a stage idol
than Raymond Hitchcock is promised
in the list of stars due for an early
visit
The picture programs are said to be
equally promising.
The Strand has been thoroughly
renovated, cleaned and painted since
closing last Spring and patrons will
| find the same comfortable surround
| ings, courtesy and welcome as here
tofore.
