ballplayers should play ball and not
spend their time on trains learning
to be Pullman conductors.
The idea Of those tropical

that baseball hasn't suffered any

The same thing il true through
the Middle West. II there has
been any falling off in amateur
baseball, it's not in the small
towns, but in the cities. And the
reason isn't because the kids have
lost their interest in baseball. NOT
BY q long shot. It's because there
isn't room for diamonds and be-
cause no one has taken enough
interest to see to 1t that the kids
have a chance to play. Grownups

They don't provide diamo1ds for

But they'd rather play baseball.
I'm convinced OF that.

FOLLOW AUTHOR,
 DIRECTORS PLEA

How closely should photoplay fol- low an original novel, short story or play?
 Frank Lloyd, producer-director of "The Silent Watcher" with Glenn Hunter and Bessie Love, the current feature at the Liberty Theater "The Sea Hawk" Black Oxen" and other we'll remembered photoplays, is in clined to agree with authors.
 If a producer can't build his pie ture along the same lines as the au- thor of a we'll known novel builds his story, he shouldn't accept such story for production" MT. Lloyd states. "Too often has a photoplay of a popular story been made in such a way that even the author himself couldn't recognize the plot This is wrong.
 Neither an author nor the the atre-going public would object to slight changes, certain necessary ela- boration or correction of novels plot, but too frequently producers have accepted a books. title and then made picture which differed so much it was public disappoint- ment.

ton r.
 We have made an eight reel pho- toplay of "The Silent Watcher" from a four-page Saturday Evening Post story with such slight dif- ference in any sequence that it is difficult to note any change at all, and yet there is no padding, no ela- boration. People said Black Oxen couldn't be made into photoplay without ruinous changes, yet Mrs. Atherton, the author, was the most enthusiastic reviewer of the film ver- sion of her story. Likewise Sabati- ni's The Sea Hawk was filmed with no major changes.
 Tt can be done and if such dras- tic changes must be made in the l title of book the title of the pic- 1; ture should be changed also The day of trying to fool the public pass ed passed long ago."
