Wordy Battle Going on at
Season of Peace on Earth
Producers. Press Agents Reviewers and Movie
Magnates Have Their Troubles and Com
plaints-Miss Hepburn Local Debut.
By E. de S. Melcher.

N YOw what shall the reviewer do?
nj The Messrs. Shubert are hurt
VI because their shows are ma
4 Y Igned. and Jed Harris and
other producers are worried be-
cause too many nice things are said
about them. One of them grieves be-
cause business is said to be dulled by
addle-brained drama departments and
another one is sad because, while his
hinterland box-office thrives, he fears
that by the time he gets to the great
metropolis the public will expect too
much.
Further grievances brought against
local reviewers are as follows:
The motion picture magnate says that
the films are put second to the stage.
The local producer says that the films
get too much attention.
The local press agent says that too
much space is devoted to out-of-town
attractions.
The out of town press agent says that
the local boys get all the breaks.
The artist says that he hasn't room
enough for his work.
The actor says that the reviewer al
ways gets to him last.
The scenic designer complains be-
cause sometimes he is never gotten to
at all.
The stage show at a motion picture
theater is vexed because the film gets
more space.
The theater without stage show is
angry because the theater with stage
show has the preference.
The amateur group growls because
its show Is not covered" when some
thing definitely Legitimate" comes to
town.
The musician Is hurt because the
reviewer has omitted mention of his
overture.
The singer is hurt because she isn't
claSSed as an actress.

DARTICULARLY in the past few
L weeks have drama departments
taken it on the chin. They have been
soothed with sweet words to say nice
things about shows which appeared to
be doubtful, and they have been bawled
out outrageously~ for saying honest
things about shows of which there was
no doubt. They have, in other words,
been swimming about in nowhere like
Alice in her tears.
]. j. Shubert is the gentleman. how
ever. who is most displeased with this
town. He says he will take his shows
where the boys" appreciate good
things, and as long as they don't recog-
nize a show which was hundred per
cent better than the original" C'Bitter
Sweet" in its Shubert dreSs) he will
expose these reviewers as shameless
smart alecs" who are putting the final
nails in the coffin of show business.
