AMUSEMENTS. ements zhe PHOTOPLAY HOTOPLAY entertainment during the past two weeks in Wash- ington has included probably the best productions, foreign and domestic, of the year. “Judgment” and “One Arabian Night” are handsome and costly products of screen art. Whether their hemes were such as to command wide popular appeal is a matter upon hich opinions may differ. Both bordered upon, if they did not touch, dangerous ground, the one in historical treatment and the other in the ealm of fairyland, for who can say that the Arabian Nights is not the eal fairyland from which all others took their rise. wvith peoples and things in its own Fairyland deals way, and when the attempt is made o turn its objects into the realities of life one sometimes finds embar- assing consequences, which would seem to indicate that, after all, fairy- land is not be people with real people or its stories to be presented lior visualization save in the mind’s eye. * * E current week, with “The Sheik,” “Enchantment” and “A Man's Home” for its chef debeuvres, would seem to offer something for al- ost any taste. But, as the small boy will say, “Seeing’s believing,” and he hearsay preceding the coming or meditation. of some of the pictures gives cause Photoplays This Week AT PHOTOPLAY HOU Opens this afternoon. noon.

'HAT makes a flying fish fly is a question that has nothing to do with this article—except that it might be no harder for even the most intelligent flying fish to answer than for a motion picture enthusiast to tell just why he can't get to some soreen dramas fast enough, and why he couldn't be dragged to others. Any one who could write a general recipe guaranteed to result in noth- ing but “standing room only” motion picturés could have the Siam’s famous flock of white ele- phants sent to him parcel post paid, and never have to worry whether the cook was going to ask for a raise next week or not. In fact, about the only things such a genius would have to worry about would be possiblities of high blood pressure. The best motion picture companies are working night and day to im- prove the art of the silver screen. The Goldwyn Piotures Corporation, for instance, now has some of the great- est authors and dramatists in the world at_the task, including Rubert Hughes, Mary Roberts Rinehart, Gou- verneur Morris, Basil King and Charles [E five-reel drama “That Some- thing,” presented by the Rotary Club of Tacoma, Wash, and dedi- cated to the Rotary clubs of the world, has been secured by Harry Levey for release through the national non-the- atrical exchanges. “At least one ideal film that is en- tirely clean and from which the human sparkle has not been expurgated has been produced,” says the editor of the Moving Picture Age, in speaking of “That Something.” He adds, “I hope that every non-theatrical exhibitor will produce this masterly production for his audience, and indicate by his corre- spondence to the producer and distrib- utor that such an epoch making flim is proportionately appreciated.” ‘The story 1s one of sustained interest. ‘The boy who left a comfortable home to show his father he amounted to some- thing has played a losing game, and we see him at the beginning of the pio- ture leaving the lockup after a night's free lodging. The boy, seeing an alert business man alighting from a handsome automobile, says to him in desperation, “I'm hun- " The business man looks keenly at the fallure and says, “What you need is not food, but ‘That Something."

EAUTY, sacred these years in the films, is being humbled by the latest vanity-wrecking efficiency | movement.: In the new arrangement |of qualifications of screen luminaries beauty is shoved far down the list, with personality exalted to the high- est requisite. Beauty, if accompanied by intelligence and a charm that sur- vives the photographic processes. is still very desirable. But beauty, just for beauty’s sake alone, is no longer being done in pictures. The tumbling of beauty from the pedestal was predicted some time ago by Oliver Morosco, who, through his rs of observing beauty's futile Struggle against brains on the stage, said that the same conditions would apply to the screen. In a survey of prominent actresses in the Los Angeles tilm colonies, Col- leen Moore was cited as one of the unusual types for the Screem, com- bining youth, beauty, personality and ability to think for herself. Miss Moore, who has just completed the leading feminine role in Morosco's “Slippy McGee,” would shine radant- 1y, directors declare, even without her beauty. “Beauty always is desirable, if it is not obviously trading upon beauty alone,” says Morasco, “In sculpture end art we expect beauty. But if some pf'the most es in our museums. would, s St§rn Gala- teas we probably quick uld wish them back in marble. “Personality is the strowgest quali- fication for elther the stage or screen. It is undefinable, but a large com- ponent part is intelligence. It is no longer possible to foist beauty over on the screen without personality that backs it up. That is because the screen of today is carrying ‘heavier’ stories, which require true art to ‘tell’ them. The camera demands closer thought concentration, finer balance of action probably than does the stage, for there is no bridging voice to assist.” —_— Nazimova, in defending her ‘“Ca- mille’ from criticism because of its departure from stage conceptions, ex- plains that her picture is founded on Dumas’ novel—not the stage version of the story.

Norma Talmadge is working on Jane Cowl's stage success, “Smilin’ Through.” In one scene the guests dance the lancers and polka of the early sixties. Mary Miles Minter is completing a plcture in which “she goes through many dramatic episodes in the Fiji Islands.” Whether she goes to the islands to find them is not menticned.

Howard Davies is one of the real pioneers in pictures. He was an actor in the Vitagraph films, and has seen Albert E. Smith rise from cameraman to president of that firm. Mr. Davies was also a stage player, and toured in “Faust.” Rudolph Valentino, title character in “The Sheik,” will be Dorothy Dal- ton’s leading man in her coming screen production, of Lady Letty.” Paul Iribe, a French painter and designer of note, whose services have given art value to several recent successes, has suffered a dangerous fracture of an ankle. An official an- nouncement locates the fracture “in the line of duty.’ “Moran the Clara Beranger, screen author, tells the world that the art of writing for pictures is. “an odd combination of keeping your feet on the ground, and your vision in the stars” She does not mention the style of “stars.” “California’s sun has been eclipsed by electric arce that have superseded daylight to such an extent that any {Man,” and that is still fresh in the memory of screen lovers. “The Mir- acle Man” was literally a screen sen- sation, and its Washington engage- { ment, it is said, still holds one of the irecords for length of run.
