D. C., MAY 1, 1921—PART 3 AMUSEMENTS "8 i AMUSEMENTS. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON Amusements The Photoplay e UCH interest and more discussion has been aroused by the in- troduction of the human voice into his latest photoplay produc- tion. “Dream Street,” by David Wark Griffith, to whom admirers of the photoplay look abovs all others in photoplay production not only for the highest expression of the picture art, but for notable advances in the production of the photoplay. For more than a year, it| is stated, Mr. Griffith has been in close touch with the perfected mecha- nism by which it is hoped to make the silent drama really spoken drama, ] and “Dream Street” was so arranged in its making as to readily adapt it to the talking device. fany of us,” says Mr. Griffith, “who have watched this invention believe it is at least near perfection, and so useful that it will make a vital and enduring change in the motion picture industry. The combination o the film and the record gives a power to the spoken voice that is beyond the possibility of platiorm or stage effect. The resources of the film magnify the figure on the screen until he stands at the very elbows of the audience. and the refinements of the talking machines bring the voice in clear and natural tones to the most dismm' corners of the theaters™ * %k K X HIS will bring both joy and sorrow to fandom in the film world and | to many who are not fans in the degree of their enthusiasm .l'or the pheioplay, but who patronize it nevertheless for reasons of their own. Many there are who claim that the virtue of the picture story told in silence transcends all others and gives to the photoplay a distinctive charm. The only excuse for voice introduction, they claim. is that it wil] enal the director to overcome the scarcity of plays in “the screen languag nd to get by with many that might be better presented on the stage, and this probably is true. In the really great photoplays that have been shown, it is doubtiul if the voice would have hzlped and if its presence would not have destroyed that concentration which lends so essentially to the full enjoyment®ofi the picture stor Talking pictures, too, will ‘interfere sadly with those who are disposed—as is sometimes the case—to take a quiet nap while a picture is being run. and té others who prefer to do the talking themselves and to whom the movies have been a godsend in the way of theatrical entertainment. * ok ok K HAT with censorship and the blue laws. in addition to other vexa- | tions and annoyances. the serenity of the motion picture producer —in the past vear at least—has not been at a high premium. Now there is nother ghost arising above the horizon which threatens to Mivide opin- 1ons_of producers and the national board of review. This time it is the tariff and its bearing on the importation of foreign photoplays ghat have been winning far too much praise in this country to suit thé average picture maker. A prominent actors’ association proposes to raise the bars so high that these foreign competitors will not be able to ‘gat -into competition with the native product and possibly endanger the wzlfare of the 60,000 workers in the photoplay industry. y + _ Alired B. Kuttner, editor of Exceptional Photoplays for thg na- nonzlhhoinl' n.l' revie up in arms over the suggestion. “Is this the C “ way the association proposcs to meet the challenge of better pic- G Tares?™ he acks.
