—— i — & "LEATRICEJOY .4 Metropolitan. News andComment By W. H. Landvoigt. AS Washington tired of indoor amusement? Is the fascination for the automobile killing the taste for the theater? Is this indifference extending to the photoplay? These questions, in one form or another, have been addressed to this department so frequently in the past three months as to excite wonder. There is little doubt that theatrical patronage during the season just closed has not been up to the standard, and there is just as little doubt that plays well worthy of liberal patronage have left a bad box-office record in Washington. Now comes the suggestion that the photoplay houses are no longer filled with those “capacity audiences” that used to be as plenti- ful as the flowers in May. and that this is true even when pictures of the | highest standard have come to us with wonderful records established clse- where. Of course, it is not wise showmanship on the part of the mana- wers to admit this. Dut there are others in Washington besides the theater 'managers who are or should be most decply interested in the matter. UGGESTION has been made, with reierence to the theater proper, that the policy on the part of the metropolitan booking offices in sending, as a rule, only inferior attractions to the National Capital is largely re- sponsible for the apathy of our people toward all attractions that are sent. As a result the good play suffers with the bad. But this cannot be true of the photoplay, because some of the finest productions of the creen have been sent to Washington long in advance of their general release, and, although there have been many inferior pictures wedged in hetween, probably due to the iniquitous “program policy™ of the distribu- ting agencies, yet, on the whole, Washington photoplay entertainment will compare favorably with that which is offered New York, Chicago and other of the biggest cities in the country. This is as it should be. for \Washington is a city whose population is approximating the half-million anark, certainly an excellent market for the best entertainment the world affords. ' 'HE automobile is 2 wonderful attraction. Not only does it afford ex- hilaration of spirit, but distraction of mind from the petty cares and worries of life in frequent changes of scene and real enjoyment in the eauties of the lovely countryside near and far. A few minutes suffice 10 effect an absolute change in surroundings, and even short rides in any direction serve to furnish sights and information that cannot fail to ive delight either to the tired business man or to his family. And pretty nearly every mother’s son of them in Washington owns an automobile, while the flivver is as plentiful as the fly in summer. ELL, the public a right to its taste, and by the same token the theater managers have a right to close their season far in advance of the usual time, even with excellent theater weather, the great desider- atum at this time of the year, fairly begging for show to speak. But « s of 1 plays and photoplays should bear in mind that the box- ;‘r’f;iz‘:r:pogr?oée{:‘rr?xinh the quality of theater that will be doled out to them hereafter. This is certainly true of photoplay entertainment, for what will it profit.a manager if he provide the finest screen entertain- ment that is produced if he cannot get people to come see it. ok ok E WOLF HOPPER ought to 'make what the sporty element calls a ten-strike with his comic opera invasion.at this particular time. It has been a long while since Washington was regaled with a course of <ummer opera, and that brand of amusement used to be very popular Besides, De Wolf himself, at one time one of the greatest of favorites here. has not paid us a visit in lo these many moons, while “\Vang” and “The Prince of Pilsen” and “Iolanthe” and “Yeoman of ihe Guard” secem like creatures out of fairyland, wraiths of the memory only. The De Wolf Hopper Comic Opera Company is due for a right royal welcome from the oldtimers of Washington, just for the sake of \1d times, if for no other reason. i * ¥ k% LE news comes that Famous Players-Lasky is resorting to the ¥ courts “to protect. the public against misleading advertising,” de- signed to help the picture of another concern at the expense of its own Cecil B. De Mille production, “The Ten Commandments,’ Universal, with .1l the gorgeousness of an Imperial Ballet Russe announcement, is un- jurling its proclamation for the coming fall and winter season. Carl J.acmmle, its president and one of the level-headed executives of the movie world, says: “I don’t know how many big pictures Universal will make. At first we planned on thirty-six, which would be three times as many big Jewel pictures as Universal ever made in one“season. But I've here. decided to wipe that plan off the map until I know everything there is t07 t each and every picture. So, with the help of the huge Uni. e 2?:«'{ I have been sorting out material, checking up and making up a foolproof list of sure-fire stuff. If thirty-six great pictures come from ihe studio, then Universal will release ‘The Perfect Thirty-six. I’f any Jemons arrive, they will be either shoved up on the shelf, or we'll sell hem to someone else, negative and all. That's our platform—guaranteeing cach plank as it is known tg be worthy. It is not sensational, but it is gouad- TEE ON'E cannot help admiring the cheery optimism that seems to pervade the domain of Picture Land. There is notlnng_lke it, peljhap.s, out- side the race track, where countless thousands, glorified with inspiration horn of their own wisdom, rush pellmell to wager all i{me{y have uopon t this or that horse will land them a small fortune.

Big pictures, great pictures, super-spectacles, ultra-supreme productions—this is the language of the movies—are launched year after year. Vast fortunes are expended in their amaking. Days, weeks and months arc spent in perfecting them, accord ing to their standards. They are released; one or two achieve success and the others slowly wind their way to oblivion over a pathway of losses, sappointment and failure.” Few of them all are backed with a definite purpose, a worthy object beyond the mere gambling chance of perhaps winning a fortune for their makers, for the taste of the general public is as uncertain in its manifestations as the favor of Lady Luck of the k| ™ a Elias Breeskin Engaged. LIAS BREESKIN, noted concert violinist, scored so emphatic a success at Crandall's Tivoli last week as a solo artist that Mr. Crandall at suggested that his services be Securs as permanent concert master and soloist for the new 14th street house.
