INCE is to appeal to the editors of the world for ad- vice as to what the people want in the movies! His publicity department is authority for the statement. There is to be 2 world-wide survey. As there are many kinds of people and as tastes differ according to education and environment, a survey, even con- fined to the editors, can be expected to furnish very interesting results, especially as this searching inquiry is to extend to the editors of Europe, South America, Mexico, Canada, and wherever the photoplay, call it by what name you will, has traveled or been carried. Mr. Ince himself has designed the questionnaire and a staff of experts will help him compile the data. Folks in this part of the vacillating globe might help Mr. Ince in his quest by getting in touch with the editors in order to avoid the common sorrow of being “misunderstood” and perhaps not correctly rep- resentéd in the final round-up. * ok ok % S*FMRLS, if you're under twenty years of age and have no independent “* means of support, stay away from the motion picture studio This is the advice of Richard Barthelmess, the popular screen star, ac- | cording to the authority of the publicity department of Inspiration Pic- tures, Inc.

Not since the days, many yvears ago, of the famous Ravel | family. of Ttalian pantomimists have| actors so seriously considered the art of ent acting as they are doing tod: So says William J. Ferguson, one of | America’s' oldest actors, who was on the stage at the Ford Theater in Wash- | ington when Lincoln was shot. Mr. Fergueon, in an interesting talk on the stage, recently pointed out that | tae style of acting changes with the| times. . “Actors ‘hold the mirror to nature,’ as Shakespeare says, and with the coming of the motion picture we have begun to develop a school of pantomimic real- ists,” sald Mr. Ferguson. “In the early days of the theater, when Shakespeare was all the rage, we had what was known as ‘Toga actors’ —artists who did not feel at home in trousers because they had been so used to wearing skirts, Later on we come to the pantaloon age of acting. It was the period of polite English comedy and drawing-room plays, and the gentleman actors always wore correct clothes and freshly creased trousers. “From that we drifted to the ‘scene| chewers,’ - the actors whq, ranted and | raved—the declamatory . school.

Most actors and actresses these days work fi motion pictures as well as on the stage, and they are devel- oping this lost art of expressing feeling without words. Itd4s a long and difficult road for the young actor to travel, how- ever, for there are no exponents of the old school of pantomine to teach the art, and it takes a far greater artist to reg- ister emation without words than it does to get over a bit of action with the use of the voice. The differencs between pantomime on the stage and that on tie ecreen is a matter of time. On the stage the actor has minutes to get over his meaning, while on the screen he has only a few seconds. “The motion picture is a great me- dium for the actor, and I believe in a few years we will have developed a school of artists that can be called pan- tomimic_realists, who will be equally good with or without the use of tae voice."” e e————————————————————————————————————————————— Pocus”; Wednesday, special Chaplin night, “The Idle Class,” “Shoulder Arms,” etc.; Thursday, House Petel and Irene Rich, in “Invisible Power’ Friday, “The Golem,* and Saturda; Hobart Bosworth and Doris May, in “The Foolish Matrons.” Dumbarton.

THREE thousand youngsters, eager and excited, rejoicing in a holiday from thelr lessons and a party all their own. were given a memorable aftergoon at the Century Theater in New York during the Southern- ! Marlowe engagement, when Shak: | speare’s “Hamlet” was acted especial- | 1y for them. { A unique oceasion. an interesting | { experiment_was the representation of |2 Wlassic drama, and a tragedy at| that, before an audience of 3.000 boys and ‘girls, the majority of whom had mever seen a Shakespearean drama and never been in a theater. What these young folk thought of the spoken play in con- trast to the motion pictures, which form their usual diet of entertain-, ment, is best shown by the rousing enthusiasm which followed each scene and the tense interest with which the development of the plot was followed. 1t ever Shakespeare as an out-and- out teller of a good story was { vindicated, he came into his own on this occasion. people may have felt about the choice of this generally considered “solemn” tragedy as amusement for young folk were quickly dispelled by the evident faseination with which the play im- mediately gripped the youthful au- dience. Mr. Sothern suggested in a brief address after the performancé that olders sometimés forget just how wonderful the mind of the child is in grapping vital things, how big the imagination and how unbounded the willingness of the child to enter into the mood of real matters, whether of literature, art or music.
