AST week we had art in the academic degree. jorced by the news reports, we must deal with the commercial. There was a hope that when Cecil B. De Mille announced his purpose to leave Hollywood, via the Panama Canal, for a brief respite in New York, in search of “indispensable Eastern atmosphere” for use in his screen creations, that art might triumph for eyen a little while. But this week, with the slogan. “Milk is beauty’s greatest ally,” a report telling that Colleen Moore, in “The Perfect Flapper,” has been linked up with the Pevely Milk Company as the chief “Putting It Over” of the week in Screenland, art will have to take a back seat, although there is also a report that Lou Tellegen and his friends are in the midst of important conferences touching the National Academy of Motion Pictures. Cecil did not leave Hollywood after all, but decided, upon reflection, that his “indispensable Eastern atmosphere” might just as well be manufactured in the California studios. This week ¥ ok ok ok BUT Colleen Moore and Cecil B. De Mille are not to be permitted to occupy the spotlight in movie commercialism exclusively. Ma Coogan, possibly inspired by Pa Coogan, after the pronunciamento about kissing fast week, scems to have linked up dear little Jackie with a special brand of salted peanuts and peanut butter in toy tin pails. A series of “blot- ters” also is advertising the Coogan products, while special cartoons are being provided for dealers. * ok ok o 3 JRSU! the same thread of fancy, like following onc of the moon's ravs to the source of its beauty, a Western exhibitor, in memory of an unforgetable past and its commercial advantages in the present, has announced “Bootlegger’s Night” in the exploitation of “Those Who Dance, a picture recently seen in Washington, but whose local exhibitor utterly overlooked the wonderful possibilities of the Western exhibitor’s bright idea. * % X X ND therein lies the evil. It seems to be natural to want money. Those who haven't any make it appear so, and those who have a great deal appear to establish the contention by wanting more and by reaching out in every direction and in almost every conceivable way to acquire it. Those who have chosen the movies as a vocation, whether divinely inspired or not, evince the same yearning as the common herd. Perhaps, they are not to be blamed for it, but, oh, how impatient it makes the yearner for art, himself, perhaps, a money waster, to perceive the manner in which they go after it. The gambler, when he fleeces his victim, gives him a thrill in recompense; the “bookie,” as they call the kindly soul who sep- arates one from his cash at the horse faces and also clsewhere, provides suspense, which is the joy of drama lovers, while the lordly dispenser of the “golden brick” supplies at least the glint of beauty for the eye, if not a temporary solace for the soul. There is, however, an element in the moving picture game, and often it may be found in very high places, which ursues its quest, like the ancient knights chasing the Holy Grail, regard- ess of everything clse. And that is one reason for sex plays in the movics, for underworld drama, for salacious titles, for indecent exposure and its ramification of suggestion, and even for the doubtful benefit of scandalous advertising. When this cancer is recognized by the dominant spirits of the photoplay industry and a genuine effort is made cither to remove or to conceal it, those who have idealized the movies in an artistic spirit may hope for the most substantial reform, the most elevating uplift ever realized in photoplay circles, and the “censor” will fade out of sight, even as the morning mist beneath the glow of the Summer sun. * ok ok ok UT, say the Scriptures, “The Lord tempers the wind to the shorn lamb,” and'the big news of the week just closed—at least in movie circles—is the formation of “Thé John Golden Unit of Clean American Pictures, Inc.,” 2 $5,000,000 corporation headed by William Fox and John Golden, who, in recent years, has been announcing widely his advocacy and production of “cléan plays” exclusively, for the stage. By the terms of the agreement, which was signed in the presence of Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, to sort of make it more binding, as it were, the Fox Film Corporation-becomes a partner in the picturization of all of Golden’s plays, and “the new corporation becomes a Fox subsidiary”—quoting the language of the report. It is a sort of pro and con combination that will be watched with the ‘deepest interest, for much trembles in the balance. Apparently everything will depend upon haw Fox films Golden’s clean plays. Seven of them are mentioned for this treatment at the outset, namely, "Lightnin’,” “Howdy, Folks,” “Thank U,” “Chicken Fced,” “The Wheel,” “The First Year” and “Seventh Heaven.” Furthermore, “in gratitude to Mr. Hays, Fox, Golden and ‘Winchell Smith, author of ‘Thank U, have agreed to donate part of the proceeds of that play to the ministers’ pension fund of the Presbyterian Church, of which Hays is chairmap,” thus combining, so to speak, in three mystic links, a golden chain of union between the church, the stage and the movies. * % ¥ % S*7TTHE GREEN BEETLE,” the new play that is to be presented at the Klaw Theater, New York, by Kilbourn Gordon, is said to bear a liKe- ness to “The Cat and the Canary,” but only in its remarkable dramatic tension, romance and humor. Unlike “The Cat and the Canary,” however, “The Green Beetle” is not a mystery play, but’it is said to have a “grip- ping plot.” v * ¥ % K EWS comes also that for *The Dream Girl,” Victor Herbert's last operetta, the management promises to adopt the new standards of dancing set the terpsichorean savants of the International Association of Dancing Masters at the recent convention in' New York. This is un- derstood to be a reversal of the present form of concentrating all the grace of the dance in the torso and distributing it more impartially in the entire anatomy of the dancer, including the feet.

There is food for laughter—plenty of it—in the spectacle of poor Willie Baxter, committing all kinds of ab- surdities while intoxicated by the first sips from the magic cup of ro- mance. His uneasiness under the re- morseless inquisition of his inex- pressible little sister, his revolts against domestic servitude, his affec- tations of manly dignity, his tragic airs, his dress-suit adventures, his puppy love, his poetic raptures, his troubadouring and all the rest of it are as genuinely funny as they are realistic. Poli's—"Fire Fly., The De Wolf Hopper Comic Opera Company, at Poli's Theater this week, will present a revival of Yire Kly,” the comic opera by Otto Hanerback, with music by Rudolph Kriml. This is the first opera written by Frimi, who has since become known throughout the country as one of our m zuccessful writers of light opera. It was originally produced in New York in 1912 by Arthur Ham- merstein, son of the famous impres- gario, Oscar Hammerstein.

The wicked “Equity ‘Association,” with its affiliation with the American Fed- eration of Labor and its contention for actorial rights, has tied up the new season’s productionis with uncertainty for those who have not fallen in line with the march of progress, and there is a vague feeling among those who have heretofore been .the custodians of dramatic art that the interference of labor is somewhat audacious and may, as it were, mar the 2Forgs to uplift tht stage.
