for, as a rule, when an illustrator
is set to work, he merely has the
authors script to guide his thought
and enlived his fancy. To these
artists, If we are not mistaken, the
play by Eugene O'Neill had already
been pictorially interpreted by scenic
artists and by actors. This, then,
frankly, would seem to be a per-
version of the art of the painter as
well as that of the illustrator. A
painting is work of art because of
the way 1t is painted and the mes
sage it conveys. An illustration is
of significant worth if it sympa-
thetically interprets the words and
thoughts of another, impersonaliy,
so far as the artist goes.
1t is, of course, not beyond the
bounds of possibility that the
painters of these pictures from the
film transcript of The Long Voyage
Home" were inspired by what they
saw on the screen or in the studio
or as illustrators have given in
their canvases new meaning to the
authors conception of character or
incident, but it is rather improbable.
For. why should they, being creative
artists themselves. when so far re-
moved from the original source? The
artists, and in all likelihood the film
producer, should find this good
business" but nothing more.
Greatest Art of Day.
In fact, we have here an astound-
ing case of the cart put before the
horse. Painting is a very great
art, so also, at its best, is illustra-
tion. But the greatest art of the
present day-at least, potentially
is that of the motion picture, and
Interestingly enough, neither the
producer nor the public has as yet
awakened to the fact. Like the art
of the Gothic era it is still for the
most part anonymous. The names
of the actors and actresses who ap-
pear on the screen are blazoned with
glory, but those of the designers of
the scenes of which they are the liv-

This Is partly because their work

Nothing Of this sort, however, is
accidental. Every tree and bush,
house. street lamp, doorway. window
and other object used in the COM
position has had to be put precisely
in the place it should occupy to
carry the play, give the players
reality, balance and atmosphere.
How did they get there? Some one
artist, working more or less like a
slave, put it there with knowledge
and understanding. in prosaic way,
perhaps, but with the motion of the
artist who is great designer.
We hear much about moving
pictures" but to 999 people out of
a thousand, this does not really
mean pictures, but acting and
dramatization. Yet If one stops to
consider, such advantage as the
cinema has over the legitimate stage
is the opportunity afforded for pic
torial representation. Take, for ex-
ample, two moving pictures which
were outstanding productions
Lincoln in Illinois" and Gone With
the Wind" What would the latter
have been without its magnificent
pictorial appeal. the desirable de-
signing of background and inter-
probation of atmosphere. Why, let
us ask, was it that the film tram
scription of the former was so much
more emotional than the original
production on the boards? For the
simple reason that the story was
doubly told, pictorially as well as
dramatically; or even triply-sight,
hearing and action all being taken
into account and brought into har-
monious unity.

ColOred Old Timers
In Battle, July %
BOSTON FIELDING GREAT TEAM
CAMBRIDGE OUT FOR
REVENGE

The game eagerly looked forward to
by the majority of baseball fans in
Metropolitan Boston, the annual Old
Timers battle, will be contested Sun
day, July %, at the Russell Hoyt field
Western Ave, Cambridge at three
o'clock.
This is the 4th annual contest be-
tween these two Old Timers teams and
the series stands at present two games
for Boston and one game for Cam
bridge. In 1887 Cambridge won II to
7; 1888 and 1889 saw Boston the win
ners 1913 and 14-8. Cambridge is out
for this one strong and has coralled
some real Old Time greats for this
contest. Joel Lewis and Buster Will
liams are the batteries and Lewis
vows his dipsy Doodler will stand those
Boston guys on their collective ears.
Williams, his battery mate. opines that
Joel is chucking 'em faster than when
he was in his hey-day; if the swelling
of his hands is any criterion; the in
field is composed of former st. Johns
and Cosmopolitan players, the outfeld
composed of all Old Time greats.
Word comes that Boston has been
strengthening also. They have a
former Cuban Giant and Phila. Giant
pitchers, whom they say, can pitch
with one hand behind their backs and
beat Cambridge. They point with
pride to their outfeld that has bat
ting average of 343 for the series; and
their infeld that has only made one
error in three games. A Roofing sec
ton has been especially prepared for
the Boston delegation, numbering $50
seats, and what the cheering will lack
in uniformity it certainly will make up
for in noise.
Special umpires, who aren't as keen
of eye, nor spry of limb as formerly
will officiate, and their word will be
law-so they say. In keeping with
usual custom of furnishing entertain
ment, the Federal Music project is
sending over their best band of 30
pieces, and the conductor has promised
to have his musicians forget their
classical album, and he personally is
bringing orchestrations of all the la
test popular song hits of the day.
This positively is your one must-see
game of the year. Ralph Ward is
