4 AMUSEMENTS. e —— ATE news from Hollywood discloses information, which, if correct, verifies a long-sta g suspicion as to why authors of stories utilized for screen production have lately manifested displeasure at the mishandling of their stories: also why so many mediocre pic- tures have lately been cropping out when we were just beginning to feel that under Will Hays the photoplay art was “ev day in every way growing better and better.” It is claimed that interfcrence by the count- ing rc ur m with the art direction of pictures has been the cause, and that ise methods have been employed to make given pictures commercial | rather than art features. It h so that on the legiti- mate stage the money behind the play has been overpotent in destroy- ing the art and literary features of the drama; i say as to a picture or a p s been claimed 1 other words, the last | true, the time has come to call a h rests with the money backer.

VWHO are the sap-heads? demands Harry Carr, writer and dramatic critfe, fn the latest Los Angeles at- tack on filmdom. for the inanities of any of the recent releases. He points out that Cecll B. De Mille has announced he will never again read a submitted scenario, ause he has read ten thousand of them 2d none of them has proved sultable for production.” Hereafter, unless a seript is sent at request, it will be returned unopened, Carr saye. The writer continues: “The authors have furlously plowed around in frenzled circles, scratching up dust and feathers, but not getting anywhere. Even the novels purchased for the screen ap- pear as plays simply beneath con- tempt.” i He declares that Laeky's, in s Qling “Bella_Donna,” has rendered ridiculous Pola Negri's first American appearance and has imperiled her fu- ture by making the leading character a Pollyan Incidentally T have learned the rea- son for this absardity and why George Fitzmaurice and his wife, Ouida Bergere, who wrote the con- tinually, have brought this stricture upon “Bella Donna. Officlals of the Lasky organization and actors who worked in the play say that Fitzmaurice and his wife “hanged the Robert Hichens story because they wanted Pola to play a Vgympathetic” character. It would not do, they felt, to nave her play a part that “lacked in appeal.” There you have it—a conspicuous Instance of the judgment of the mak- ers of films and film stories. Was Pola's box office value damaged by the part of Du Barry? Was she lessened in public esteem by her real- istic Carmen?
