Correspondence Of the A.soe,.s ted Press.

ROME, March 29.-Serious students
OF the drama in the United States
who occasionally complain loudly OF
the growing ascendancy of the NOV
ing picture, and point to the sub.
ordination of the stage to the silver
sheet as an indication of America 's
provinciality and uncouthness in
matters of art, have no Italian
brethren in arms, to check the
growth of popularity in Italy of al
moving pictures, and especially those
from the United States.
The fact Is that, while there are
few people here who consider the
cinema form OF art, the moyine
picture is carrying everything before
1T and is rapidly becoming the favor
ite form of amusement of a large
section OF the population OF the big
ger Italian cities.
