ED WYNN PRODUCER
Acting Gem in
1.-TWO Cities"

1.-THE Tale Of Two Cities" is
held over at the Palace for an.
other week. This story deserves
to rank among the screen master.
pieces Of all time. Not only is it
a faithful portrayal of the Dick.
ems story, it is the story itself
brought to vivid life with all the
atmosphere of its tine.
Ronald Colman probably is seen
at his best in a career that al.
ways has been notable. Elizabeth
Allen plays feelingly with the
exact restraint necessary, the part
of a young lady of those days.
Other notables deserve accolades
for their vivid and realistic work
in the film, but that has all been
covered in a previous review and
1 would like to turn the spotlight
on the three concluding Sc.
uuences of the story. These
scenes are in the prison, where
the prisoners awaited execution,
in the tumbril on the way to the
guillotine and at the guillotine
itself.
Isabel Jewell, as the little seam
stress, an innocent victim Of the
bloodlust Of the revolutionists,
steps into the film in these
sequences with one of the most
perfect bits of acting I have ever
seen. 1t is such a portrayal that
once seeing it you cannot imagine
anyone else doing it.
I grant that the part itself is
rich in audience appeal and
sympathy but for that very reason
it could easily, in less adept hands,
have been overdone. 1t is perfect.
To Miss Jewell-a bow and q
sincere thank you for a pleasant
memory. j. w. B.

New York, Aug. 19.-What about
color movies? Will they ever supplant
the black-and-white variety as thor
oughly as the sound films edged out
silents?
This reporter, whose chores expose
him to good deal of gable "in the
trade as the saying goes, besides a
good many movies (most of them
bad) presumes to question whether
the rainbow-hued screen darmas will
ever-at least in this generation of
filmgoers-completely take over.
There are several reasons for this.
A man connected with one of the big
gest color-process concerns-who for
obvious reasons wishes to keep his
name out of this-tells me that few Of
the smaller theaters are equipped for
showing of color films to best advan-
tage. Only the big houses can switch
from black-and-white to color without
difficulty and without feeling the lack
in the quality of screen effects, of the
proper high-power projecting devices.
Now it's true that few of the small
Ter houses were wired for sound when
movies began to be audible with a
vengeance. The deficiency was quick
ly remedied; the exhibitors had to in
stall sound equipment or perish and
so they did. But color is not exactly
the same equation.
Sound was directly involved with
dramatic technique; a new audience
reaction was instantaneously evoked.
Talkies hear almost as little relation
ship to silent pictures as an early D.
w. Griffith epic bore to a stage
drama of it's era. Nearly everything
Hollywood had learned about telling
a picture story had to be scrapped
and the whole art of screen pan
tomimine abandoned and new meth

man were hanged at Salem, Mass,
Bay colony, on the charge of witch
craft.
The man was the Rev. George Bur

1t was declared in his indictment that
by his wicked arts, one Mary VOL

consumed, wasted and tormented."
The evidence against him was sup
piled by afflicted" persons. Just
after his arrest, as constables were
taking him through a wood, there
had been violent thunderstorm, and
this in the minds of the judges, was
proof of his connection with the evil
one.
AT the execution, Rev. Burroughs
repeated without mistake the Lords
prayer, which, few doubtful persons
suggested could not be done by a
witch. But the distinguished Har-
ward intellectual cotton Mather, who
was sitting on horseback supervising
the proceedings, reminded the crowd
that the devil often appeared as an
angel of light and the gallows did it's
work.
Aug. 10, 1812-"He who fights and
runs away lives to fight another day."
The Constitution, which ran away in
July when it met the Guerrero &C
companied by four other British war
ships, again met the Guerrero. This
time the British warship was alone,
and one of the most notable of U. S.
naval victories was written into his
tory'S pages.
The constitution was the stronger
ship: she had 80 long 24-pounders and
% carrenades shooting 32-pound
balls, while the Guerrero had 80 long
18-pounders and sixteen 32-pound
carronades. The CONSTITUTIONS long

ronades a range of half mile.

Color may be pretty. It may heigh-
ten the effect of some types of films,
such as musicals, travelogues and
animated cartoons. But 1t really is
not much more of a departure, in
essentials, from the black-and-white
than Handwriting of photographs a
generation ago was from conventional
photography. The smaller houses will
be able to get along for years with
out buying a lot of equipment for the
showing of color movies, and my
guess Is that they will do exactly
that.
My technician tells me, too, that
despite the. strides that have been
made In the development of color pro-
cesses for the screen, there is no
question but that the black-and-white
movie remains out in front of the
color flickers in the matter of sharp
ness, of clarity-particularl where
moving objects are shown. Moreover,
curious fact has begun to be whis-
pered about Hollywood; some of the
featured lovelies who are perfectly
stunning in black and white are not
quite so eye-filling when done out
in all the glow of the spectrum.
Color photography is the photog-
raphy for blondes,' he added. with
brunettes-well, some of them are
stunning and some not so hot"
/ have no doubt that one of these
days dramas in full color will be tele-
vised into our living rooms. But for
the nonce, we needn't worry about the
complete dominance of color on the
screen.
