Small Scales for Reducers

wagered with May McAvoy and
Conrad Nagel that he could reduce his
weight 20 pounds in one weeE while

After a week of self-denial and gnaw-

and stepped iauntily aboard. The beam
hit 300, the mark recorded when the
fasting began. Swain was stunned,
dumfounded.
Nagel suggested he try pair of COM
mercial scales, but Swain shook his
head. A pair of larger scales would
show that instead of losing 20 pounds
I had gained that amount. The larger
the scales, the more they'd make me
weigh And Mack paid the bet.

r BOARDING the talking pic
lures, one critic has this to
says: THE arbitrary alteration of
dramatic dialogue with cinemat-
ic presentation tends to confuse
the spectator by making him re-
verse the form of his artistic re-
captivity so that the result is
merely mixed art form and not
a fusion of the two arts for the
intenSification of artistic effect.
Now, it is quite possible that the
motion picture may enjoy its
greatest success as mixed art
form. Almost always when an
art is dominated by the popular
taste the result is mixed art
form. Poetry is diluted by didacti-
ciSm, music becomes initiative
music, painting becomes literary.
The motion picture, which from
the beginning has been more
dominated by the popular taste
than by any other struggling art,
might we'll attain the dignity of
grand opera, itself an outstanding
example of a mixed art form
which already has much in COM
mon with the motion picture in it's
conventional plot, it's emotional
ism, its liberal borrowings from
the other arts and the general
eXpensivenesS involved in most Of
its presentations"
