NEVER before, one is told, has the

spicuous immortals to impersonate the

result is an amazing feat Of duplication

as Kringelein is not to be equaled. Yet

its compelling performances was given
by Miss Hortense Alden as Flaemmsch-
en-, the complaisant typist. In Miss
Alden's place on the screen Is Miss
Joan Crawford, similarly pathetic, but
of entirely another personality and type
of beauty I find it possible family to
deplore Miss Garbo's disposition to be
excessive as the gray and gold prima
dopna-although I realize that the
part, being that of dancer, is one that
demands considerable fiuttering. She
is undoubtedly the Bernhardt of the
talking pictures and as such is entitled
to -embroider whenever she feels the
inclination. At any rate, her snowy
imperfections, if SO they be, are not
enough to prevent Grand Hotel from
successfully defying the superstition
that the cinema must stoop to prosper.
It makes no concessions to the play
going rtffraff, and yet it is "the hit of
the century" At least the advertise
ments 50 proclaim It.

By BENIN w. LEVY.

GIT has been my theory. in every
play I have ever written but one,
that dramas are more entertaining, If
they don't concern themselves with
entertainment alone.
There must be some sort Of con-
viction behind every work which can
be catalogued as serious essay In
dramatic artistry. A man with a bee
in his bonnet Is infinitely more inter-
esting and convincing than one who
has neither bee nor bonnet to have 1t
In. All drama must have moral i'm
pulse, and when I speak OF moral I'M
pulses in the drama, I mean moral in
It's widest sense, of course, but ] do
believe that a playwright to do his
best work must hold some sort Of views
violently.
There is, curious as It may seem,
even a moral in 'Springtime for Henry
It may be a little hard TO discover Just
what the conviction Is in SO madIy
dislocated a piece of work, but I think
IL argues that people should satisfy
their sentimental impulses without
falling in love. I'm not sure about
that, but there 1t Is. Falling in love,
according to the thesis of this play, Is
q degrading business. The animals are
better Of. Follow this to its logical
conclusion and you have farce material.
Mrs Moonlight is the only play
7 have written without any moral I'm
pulse behind 1t, as far as I have been
able to discover. I can't nationally ac-
count for this lapse into so-called lust
good theater,' although I confess to
have been highly gratified by the royalty
I received from Charles Hopkins who,
with the assistance of Sir Guy Stand
ing, made nice thing out Of it.
"Just what am going to do about
moral impulses in the movies I don't
quite know. The pictures are ham,
rner and tongs about that sort of thing.
Understand. I'm not critizing the films.
I am not like the visiting celebrities
who find Hollywood at once a source
of income and material for sarcasm.
If the film people were as stupid as
they are advertised to be by the wise
crackers. there wouldn't be any films,
let alone good ones.

THE cirlerna's rnisusage of htera-
ture has long been subject Of
grievance to authors whose works
Il have suffered in transmission
from stylus to the screen. Har-
rowing stories have been told Of books
and manuscripts dismembered by tn
sensitive directors until there was
naugft left OF them save amputated
fragments, dangling and detached.
AS one whose contacts with the
screen-drama are necessarily infre-
quent, had formed an Ill opinion OF
its merits from conversation with nov
elists and from the comedy Once in
a Lifetime" Therefore, it was with
much uneasiness that I ventured the
other day to visit the picture version Of
"Grand Hotel" fearing that 1t had
desecrated by the innpious showmen OF
Hollywood. What a chance, thought /,
for havoc and delirious rebuilding, for
laying waste and for indiscriminate re-
placement Although assured by the
movie critics that the play remained
upright and that Its performance was
something to beat the drums about, /
was prepared to see 1t PROSTATE, pit
eous ruin overrun by tmpudent destroy
ers. It is disappointment, therefore,
to report to similarly skeptical theater-
goers that Grand Hotel" Is an excel
lent play when performed by machinery
as it is when done by human actors.

DERHAPS it is permissible for a re-
u viewer who works the other side
of the street to intrude little further
on his neighbors' territory. If so, he
will call attention to the almost OBJ
sequious manner in which Mr.. Could
ing, the director, duplicates the original
drama One expects, from past expert

pageantry, however; In fact, there In
not enough, since scenic expansion and
elaboration, it is said, is one Of the
cinema,s greatest assets. OF course,
there are pictures beyond the simpler
resources of the theater, but they are
not of a kind to equal the scenery of

that this is the naive objection of a lay

Now, Ona says, she gave UP dancing

she gave up the talking pictures to

therefore, that to revert, even for a
