"A statement that such and such an

orally discloses more painful stepping
than saltation. Pauline Lord, who is
now regarded as one of Americas
leading emotional actresses, is rather
an example of patient and persever-

technique, her control and direction of
the torrent of passionate force within
her was not special visitation of

her. For three seasons she toured
with Goodwin and she credits him
with grounding her In the art Of act

Next, she went with the Milwaukee

one season, then returning for two
years as ingenue leading woman. In
that company were many players of
rank during her stay there. Among
them were Lowell Sherman, Ralph

Trend of Modern Films.

ITESSE L. LASKY Of the. Paramount
Famous Lasky Corporation was
talking in New York recently about
the socalled "new and modern idea"
IN pictures, quite different from the
old type.
Moving pictures today" says Mr..
Lasky, represent comparatively
mature stage Of development. Pic
tures today are being made by the
second generation Of producers, who,
instead Of being forced to experiment
with the mechanics. are free to build
q fresh structure of modern ideas on
the old foundation principles. New
people, modern minds, original points
OF view-these are the reasons for the
different twist in the best pictures.
''The pioneers who built up the great
moving picture business had the cour-
age and initiative to tackle a new
problem for which there was little
precedent to guide them. And in the
course of the years they worked out
these problems successfully and mas
tered the technique Of picture making.
Their accomplishment in establishing
the pictures-and refer to. the pio-
neer producers, directors, actors and
ell connected with the early years
VIII seem more important as the years
20 on Nothing can lessen the credit
ezhat is due them for building this new
industry from the ground up.
'sNow we see another class Of pic
4ure people developing. The young
sters who had nothing to do with
blazing the trail now are in high
favor. Youth is the spirit Of modern
pictures. They are carrying on the
great beginnings Of the pioneers. keep
marching right in step with the front
rank OF progressive, modern life. If
