XMUSEMENTS., L G CONRAD < JNAGEL Palace. e KENYON Metropolitar News andComment By W. H. Landvoigt. ITH the introduction in Congress of a bill designed to protect the public against obscene and salacious plays and photoplays, the threat of censorship again looms in view. Apparently in legislative quarters the notion is fixed that law will.correct evil. The fault in the present instance shifts from the shoulders of the movie producer to the play producer. This is a cause for rejoicing, prob- ably, in this column. It shows the photoplay people are trying to regu- late their affairs in accordance with good morals and polite manners. It is believed there is little doubt of this with the big producers of the country. * RECENT letter from Carl Laemmle, president of the Universal Pic- ture Corporation, indicates that directions have been given the pro- ducing end of that corporation to provide the necessary shock or thrill demanded by the public, provided it be not of “the smutty variety,” for, tsays Mr. Laemmle, “we want our pictures to be clean.” An item in a recent issue of Film Daily, the trade publication, states that a large num- ber of directors, including many notables, attended the annual banquet of the Motion Picture Directors’ Association and pledged their complete support and co-operation for the betterment in pictures, to Will H. Hays, the Judge Landis of the Paramount organization. Mr. Hays, in his ad- dress, went further than pressing the matter of making clean pictures. He urged the directors to consider well, when making a picture, whether it would offend any foreign nation. Regarding religion and classes of people, he related many instances, states the item, of how situations might be treated without giving offense and without bringing criticism upon the industry as a whole. Tt was intimated that later official action would be taken whereby the directors might more closely co-operate with the Hays organization to bring about the desired results. * koK Ok ASSARD SHORT, a prominent theatrical producer, recently stated his belief that the most effective censor is the public itself. He adds: “If agitators only would rest the cause with the people who pay money o see a production, it would be discovered by producer and censor alike hat the vulgar gets short shrift with the American public.” He admits, owever, “but stir public curiosity, and it is another matter entirely. {e also is of the opinion that the whole question is one of good or bad anners, “Bad taste,” he declares, “is inexcusable and vulgarity is the itome of it.” He thinks that to interfere with proper and well-consid- fked wit, humor and fun, because in its making there is a “tinge of the ndiscussed,” is absurd, “provided the creators keep well within the bounds recognized by well bred people.” He says the French manipulate his difference to a nicety and that they have a very decided advantage bver us because their audiences are impersonal, while American crowds n the playhouse ever are personal. “This,” he states, “makes the problem xtremely difficult for the producer in this country.” * k ok k QOTH observation and experience seem to indicate that the purity of public entertainment rests with the public itself. If people will en- ourage by lavish patronage the unclean and the unwholesome, they alone re to blame for what is offered them. There is, however, a line of de- ency beyond which the police authorities are empowered to act and to ct summarily. Competent police regulation may be invoked to protect he public morals. The regulation of public manners is a-more delicate huestion, and it is because of the dangers to which the pripciple of cen- orship may lead that the idea of a public censor is objectionable to fhany. 1f it be right to censor plays and pictures, it is equally right, it s claimed, to censor books, art, newspapers and every form of public xpression. This means, in a word, to give to an individual, or to a small oterie of individuals, the right and the power to judge for all the people. IChe exercise of that right and power, as illustrated in many States in behich censership has been provided, has resulted in great abuse. There s no guarantee that a few individuals are better grounded in the con- eption of what is right and proper than the millions of others who ake up the general public. As a rule, the offense in public entertain- ent consists in the insidious evasion of basic principles of decency and ight which keep just beyond the reach of the police. The remedy for his would seem to be the creation of a public standard of morals and anners, which is the duty of the public itself, and which many who ave given the subject profound consideration in the light of wide ob- ervation believe cannot be shifted to a censor or attained by a ‘mere law. * ok ok ok A VERY little while ago the movie world was stirred to its depths with the fear that the radio would destroy it. News comes from Cleve- and that out that way they are perceiving that movies and radio, once bitter enemies, are now staunch friends. We learn that now several movie fheaters throughout the country are broadcasting programs weekly, and hat, beginning March 4, Warner Brothers, the big photoplay producers, bne hour of each day will catch ard broadcast every word spoken b, irectors, players and all others who are connected with the making o¥ e photoplays then under production. * ok k% E production manager of First National, news reports state, is be- coming enamored of the “best sellers” in novels and magazine stories for screen production. He believes, too, it is stated, that in time “the creen drama will supersede all other forms in the cultural life of the beorld, because of its wider appeal.” He also cites that many prominent bovelists are now going to the studios to learn screen technique with he idea of writing direct for the screen. Will these “best sellers” and bopular stories also be censored. If censorship be right, why wait until he story reaches the screen before applying it? * %k k * ERSAL has gone the limit in constructing-its newest master- piece, “The Phantom of the Opera,” according to reports from its ktudios, and Lon Chaney and Mary Philbin have again demofistrated heir right to be ranked with screen stars of the first magnitude. A gay nasque ball in the Grand Opera House of Paris is one of the great scenes, d to create it a replica of the famous stairway of the Paris Opera House Lnd its magnificent surroundings became necessary. An impartial ob- serv not a press agent, is responsible for the critique that “the weird- mystery and thrill of this great drama hold from beginning to end.” * ok k ~ECIL B.

The -orphans of the District of Co- lumbia are to be the guests of the committee of management of the Frei- berg “Passion Play” film spectacle at the Washington Auditorium this week. A special 10 o'clock showing of the film has been arranged for Tuesday morning, and a special section of the Auditorium has been set aside for the ‘Walter Reed, Mount Alto and St. Eliza- beth’'s war veterans.

The excellence of the bills arranged for the special performances for chil- dren presented each Saturday morn- ing at Crandall's Tivoli Theater by the public service and educational department of the Crandall Theaters, under the direction of Harrlet Haw- ley Locher, continues on the high plane already established. Saturday, February 21, Jackie Coo- gan was chosen as star in First Na- tional's “Circus Day Pola to Make Flymg TI'IP. JFOR the first time since her arrival in this country, 2l years ago, Pola Negri will return in March to her native land across the seas. Miss Negri has completed her plans and ob- tained her passports for a flying trip to Europe to see her mother and visit the scenes of her early continental triumphs. During the three weeks Miss Negri will be in Europe more than half of the time will be spent in Poland with her mother. She also plans to dispose of her estate in Poland and to make arrangements for the enlarge- ment of an orphanage she is endo ing. At present this orphange ac- commodates 135 persons. By the new arrangement Miss Negri plans to have it support more than 500 Polish children. Several days will be spent in Paris purchasing a wardrobe to bring back to the United States, and a_ short time will also be spent in Berlin, closing her affairs in that city. According to the star she does not wish to return to Europe to live. Lou Tellengen's Career. LOU TELLENGEN, who has the fea- tured male role in “Those Who Judge,” was a stage favorite before coming to the screen. His greatest stage “hit” undoubt- edly was “Blind Youth,” in which he starred for several seasons on the road and in New York. By birth a Frenchman, Tellengen received much of his early education in England as well as France. In his native land he played in many of the stage productions of Sarah Bernhardt, and was a favorite juvenile leading man and protege of the “Divine Sa- rah” and a popular Parlsian matinee ol. He also enjoyed quite a vogue in his early vears on the London stage. playing leading roles with some of the greatest English stars. SIS A S A He Has "It. ROM Samuel Goldwyn came a ca- ble recently saying that he had tendered a contract to Count Salm von Hoogstraten, husband of Milli- cent Rogers, to go to Hollywood to act in a new film production. Goldwyn states: “The count |is ‘photogenic’ and has plenty of sense. There is every reason in the world why he should succeed in pictures. If the countess will come also, I am prepared to offer them both a good contract.” And now Hollywood has almost come to blows over “photogenic.” Some .claim there is no such thing and others admit there may be, but if so, it doesn't mean anything. Mr. Goldwyn was asked for a defi- nition of the word and sent the fol- lowing answer: “When Elinor Glyn saw a leading man and sajd he had ‘it and registered that ‘i’ before the camera, that leading man was ‘photo- genic’ Ronald Colman has ‘it’ and I maintain that Count Salm has-‘ity % *Pl’)otoplays At the photoplay Houses This Week COLUMBIA—"The evening.

The setting of the story is laid in the Painted Desert of Arizona, where, by a curious set of circumstances, a beautiful Eastern girl, romantic yet puritanical of temperament, finds herself alone and at the mercy of three drunken marauders, who gam- ble for her possession. Stephen Ghent finally wins her, and the girl, fascinated by the masculine direct- ness of his bartering for her, thinks she sees in him the ideal lover. After their marriage, however, Ghent quick- 1y tears down all the idealism with which the girl has surrounded him, and though he becomes a rich miner, she spurns his money and devotes herself to earning back the price he paid for her. In the end a supreme sacrifice on the husband's part awakens the girl to his true value, and she realizes that she has changed him from the man he was and that, after all, she loves him.

The real action starts with Nolan’s denunciation of his country. Theu follows him life MILLER Strand < AL TERRY : UMDIQ “The Passion Play.” I the dark ages, when Attila’s Hun hordes swept from northern Europe to terrorize the Roman Em- pire, their pagan pageants were the principal diversion of the Teutonic warriors. The evolution of these orgic pageants into dramas was but a step. Depicting incidents In the lives of their mythological characters be- came custom. Gradually thess primitive plays lost their barbaric character and the Christ as Christianity’s influences reached them. In the thirteenth cen- tury the people of Freiburg, a little town nestling In the hills of Baden, decided to enact every 10 years a pas- sion play depicting every detail the passion and death of Christ as set forth in the New Testament. It was 30 years later that the peopl of Oberammergau, about 50 mile: distant, in Bavaria, instituted their passion play in thanksgiving for be- ing spared from a pestilence that spread all over Europe. Since 1264 “The Passion Play” has been enacted at Freiburg religiously every 10 years. The principal roles have been passed on from generation to generation. The Freiburg child is educated in the part he is des- tined to pla: As a° babe in his THE camera lenses and attachments which have been invented by Leon F. Douglass, vice president of the Vic- tor Phonograph Co., and which expected to revolutionize many of motion- picture production, were used extensively in photographing “The Phantom of the Opera,” Uni- versal's latest screen spectacle.
