Talkie Domination.

THE extent to which the legitimate
stage is coming under the domina-
tion of the talkies, as observed from
facts already at hand, is causing disn1av
to good many persons, who feel that
the growing power of the movies is an
encroachment on the art of the theater
Many stage stars and directors have
already been won over by the huge
salaries paid in the films, consider
able number of leading Broadway pro-
ducers have tied up with the picture
firms, and it is only considered a mat
ter of time before the rest make movie
Affiliations. Additional evidence of the
eager conquest of the talkies was given
short while back in the reply of All
Woods to some one who asked his
opinion of certain play:
II like the play, but l don't think n
Is quite suitable for the movies. I won't
produce another play until a Aim com
pany has taken an option on. it. It is
too expensive to produce fiops."
The practice of having movie COM
panies pass on plays before they are
riSked on the stage is understood TO be-
spreading to the smaller producers anC
to the dramatistS as well, MANY Of
whom write these days with an eve tc
Hollywood. Well, these talkies seem tC
be getting ahead in more ways than
one

Affairs Theatrical Along
the Great White Way

The nice little Texas girl and her
honest, if slightly heavy-handed, lover
are telling their love to each other on
the front lawn, while a chorus appro-
priately huns the "Suwanee River" in
the distance Claire loves Gene, but she
doesn't want to spend her life in Waco.
She wants to go to New York. Think
of it!" she cries.
The honest Texan, who has a Job on
the local paper and is writing what he
intends to be the greatest Southern
novel ever heard of, and feels that it
can only be written If he stays in his
beloved Waco, demurs.
why, honey" he drawls, ,"Ah'd like
to see New York right enough. Ah'd
like to visit it. But when 1t comes TO
livin'. why, this town is good enough
for mel"
On hearing this speech and learning
that the Texan consents, after all, to
go to New York, you will suspect, and
with good reason, the worst. The
Adamses have a rotten time OF 1t in
New York
Stirring as this defiance Is, It must
be confessed that the implications of
Mr. Rubtns drama are bit unfair to
the metropolis. Two liaisons and a
murder are far from the rather hum
drum lot of most of the inhabitants of
this town, even when they come from
Texas. Who can say what little Claire
might have done if she had stayed In
Waco? In short, the real and rather
Strindbergian difficulties of the story
as it starts, and out of which fine, II
possibly little dreary, play might have
been made, are sacrificed in order to
discharge a futile broadside against
Manhattans steely ramparts and turn
out shocker.
