The Moving Picture cAlb~m
BY Robert E. Sherwood.

"Just lately have seen the written
works Of two gentlemen named Wexford
Beaton and lamar Lane, and they say
the movies are going to the dogs-at
least, the talking movies. But then I
read that Metro and Fox or somebody
have Larger profits this year than last.
and where am now2 What does it
all mean7"
The only answer I can give to that
Is, Il don't know" But one definite
answer isn't enough to satisfy Mr..
Cricl1ton. He goes right on:
IN tsll you that I'm one of those
fellows who started bewailing the loss
of the silent movie as soon as the talkies
came In. and who had not given three
long boots to the silent movies them
sslves previous to that. In brief, I'm
one Of what must be a large number
who never did take the movies seriously.
in any form. And yet-1'm compelled
to concede that the worst movie can
not be compared in hOrriblenesS with
the worst stage play.
Most plays are terrible and I come
away from them with sense Of the
futility of life. But can 60 next night
TO a movie and. while do no dancing
In the aisles. I am not too critical and
not too depressed by 1t all. why Is
that? Do you automatically check your
artistic judgment at the door when you
see a movie? And why is 1t that lines
sound so much less awful when coming
from screen than from stage? Is
It because the placs is crowded and the
mob psychology gets you? or Is 1t
because the movies do put the lines
across better?
But what really wanted TO know
from you (there's q point TO all this
somewhere, but think I've lost it, Il
this:
"Are the movies slipping as badly a.
Messrs. Bsator1 and Lane contend?
(Tl1ese talented gentlemen seem to be
saying that what they want in motion
pictures is motion, and that they are
sick of pretty boys and girls uttefing
stentorian tones from colossal scr9ens
and causing all the horses out in front
of the theater 10 rear up In fright and
smash the ilitching post)
Are the talkies, as such, doomed?
And II they don't have sound, what will
they have?
And II the talkies are doomed, and
the theaters are emptyins. why Is 1t
that whenever 90 to one have TO be
flerded behind q siIken cord and told
to wait by q young man couldn't
possibly come to admire?
IF you ar. a man of honor you will
answer these questions before Charlie
Chaplin comes along with City Lights
and answers them for you"
THIS Is Just about all that Mr.
Crichton has to say In this letter.
but he adds Q postscript promising TO
write me another one socn. and only
hope that In It he will stop asking ques-
tions and will devote his time and space
to telling me all the answers.

Returns to Pictures.

MRS. WILLIAM SETTER, since jan
uary, 1881, Laura La Plsnte, the st.
Louis girl who charmed millions by her
screen interpretations, returns to the
pictures, this time in dialogue with
Patlle.
Her first appearance Is In an sdapta-
ton Of the stage play, Lonely wives, {"
which is said to be one Of the hits Of
the season.
The story Of Laura La Plante's career
Is more than ordinarily interesting. To
seek gold and glory in California, with
the accent on the gold, was the dire
necessity OF Laura La Plante. She
didn't 90 to California as a gold digger
mind you. but as photoplayer, and
she didn't 60 in the California gold
rush era, for Laura was born in St.
Louis November /, 1904. At the age Of
IA she, with her family, went to Cali
for1ia and the moving picture studios.
Her first cast into the moving picture
pool was successful. She caught a Job
as extra girl at the Christie Studios
Within two years she was playing leads
with Tom Mix. Then she went to
Universal City. She has been there
ever since. A serial, "Perils Of the
Yukon first brought her to the atten-
ton of the wiseacres. The next year
she played opposite Hoot Gibson, the
next year opposite Reginald Denny.
Since 1926 she has been starring in her
own right.
