{ 2 AMUSEMENTS. "The Drama of the People. BY WALLACE MUNRO. R years the term “melodrama” ap- plied to a dramatic offering was considered a mark of Inferiority, for no specific reason other than that cer- tain smart people classified melodrama as merely a contribution only fit for the unthinking classes, a dramatic dish too gross for the intelligencia. But the wheel of public taste and opinion slowly but steadily revolves and the much-despised melodrama of then has become the vogue of now. The solfsame smart set inquires, Why? The answer is easy! Within every human breast there lurks & touch of romance; it may be more dominant in some than in others, but away down deep somewhere hides this ruling passion, and it only takes the proper kind of appeal to arouse that letnargy. Let us therefore analyze just what is melodrama? We are informed by authorities of dramaturgy that melodrama is drama wherein the passion and development of haracter are subservient to the action and plot of the play: in other words, 1t differs from tragedy by the fact that in tragedy. passion and the development of character dominate the action and plot. Thus we have in melodrama nothing more or less than a romantic play of a serious character, in which effect is sought by startling incidents, siriking situations, exaggerated senti- ment and thrilling denouement aided*by elaborate stage effects. Inasmuch as scientists assert that the eve registers 14 times quicker than the brain, an be, therefore, readily un- derstood why the masses patronize melodrama in preference to attending & performance that depends upon the elegance of words and the effectiveness of gesture to project the theme: “Ac-| {at midnight to Calvin Coolidge, each | event has been punctuated by melo- | drama, pure and simple. ‘Where can you find any greater ex- pression of melodramatic utterance than Patrick Henry's “Give me liberty or give me death,” Nathan Hale's “1 regret that I have but one life to give for my country”! and Barbara Freits chie's “Shoot these gray hairs but spare that flag”! To say nothing about the immortal words of Lincoln, Decatur, Perry, Roosevelt, Dewey, Franklin, Schley and a host of others. | " "Melodrama, when all is said and | dome, is but the reflection of our | American life. The Pathfinders of the West; the Argonauts of the North; the developers of the South, have supplied poets, writers, sculptors and painters with themes so prolific that our mu- | seums and libraries are veritable store- | houses of virile achievement and mas- | terful endeavor, all volcing an acclaim of melodramatic activity. | have endured in this country are good souled melodramas, every one of them: “Arizona,” “Old Kentucky," doah,” “The Girl I Left Behind Me,” “The Girl of the Golden West.” “Light- nin’,” “The Old Homestead,” to say nothing about “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” | “Alabama,” “The White Slave,” “Shore Acres,” “Secret Service,” “Held by the Enemy” and a hundred others that if | properly cast and presented now would | be received with as hearty a welcome as when they were first presented. | _Just make a mental note of this: | Romance runs as wild in the human | breast today as it did a century ago: | the environment may be changed, the | impulse somewhat altered, the senti- ment less acute, but the word or deed that prompts the act has just as po- tential an effect upon the human heart tion speaks louder than words.” Human nature demands romance and melodrama; and Shakespeare real- | ized this when he wrote "Macbeth."i "Othello,” “Richard III" and other ex- | cellent specimens of melodramatic | writing France, with Sardon, Dumas and | Lavedan: Germany with Sudermann, | Hauptman and_others: Spain with Caldron de la Barca, Benavente and y with her writers, Nico-| . Bennelli, ete, and Britain with Simms, Boucicault, Jones and have contributed “The Lights of London® “Romany Ry “The r King," “After Dark.” etc. all contributions to the expression of melodramatic endeavor: and America! Why, melodrama is the national drama of this country. and good honest-to-goodness melodrama at that. Take the history of the United States and every siep taken in the expression. formation and adoption of our national independence has been accomplished by a melodramatic gesture; from the Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere's Ride, Lexington. Valley Forge, down to the administering of the presidential oath dex her others who now as it had then. Romance will never die, neither will melodrama, be- cause they are synonymous. Melodrama has been the means of placing many of our most successful theatrical managers upon the amuse- ment map. It is not betraying busi- nesse secrets to state that David Be- lasco made his first real money with “The Hear. of Maryland," George C. Tyler with “The Christian,” John Golden with “Turn to the Right,"” C. B. Dillingham with “When Knighthood Was in Flower,” H. H. Frazee with “Uncle Josh Spruceby,” William A. Brady with “She”” Sam Harris with ‘The Fatal Wedding." Klaw and Er- langer with “Ben Hur” and A. H. Wocds with “The Bowery After Dark,” cte., all melodramas, every one of them.

Ramon Novarro had to adopt a Ger- man haircut for his role of a German prince, going to college, and 150 unds of goid lace were used in mak- iz the uniforms he wore as a crown prince and there were 10 different uni- | forms, all actual coples of a prince's ceremonial garb. Scicns of scme of the best known families of America turned screen actors for a time, for students of sev- eral universities were impressed as ex- |tras to impersonnate Heidelberg stu- | dents, and the Glee Club of the Uni- | dis versity of Southern California and the student bodies of otmer universities were levied on to make up the “student | she | corps” in the picture. Horticulture on an ocean liner was one of the strange expedients inciden- tal to the making of the picture, for a shipload of edelweiss, the famous German flower, was transported to California, being kept warm on ship- board in improvisea hothouses below decks, and transplanted for the mead- ows in which the love scenes between the prince and Kathie take place.

Publishers Made a Bad Guess. | Moving Picture Album BY ROBERT E. SHERWOOD. ARDLY & week goes by without some statement from some prominent foreigner to the ef- fect that American movies are ruining the people of his coun- try—ruining them spiritually, financial- Iy and morally. Particularly vociferous in thelr complaints are the component parts of the British Empire. England, Canada, Australia and South Africa have lately been heard from, and their comments have been regrettably embit- tered. The most important fact of the mat- ter is that 90 per cent of the feature pictures shown throughout the world are produced in and about Hollywood, Calif., thereby making Hollywood the most important and most influential community on earth. We who live on this North American continent know what our movies are like. Even though we don't make them—have no part in their making— we see them and are competent to judge them. Occasionally, we see pic- tures made abroad—in England, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Japan and even (in one instance) Russia. Of all the importations, those Germany have been the best. There have been three or four good ones from ce, two or three from Sweden and Italy and one or two from England. Many of the foreign films have been artistic successes. Hardly any of them have been substantial money-makers. The comparison ‘between American- made and foreign-made movies, how- ever, i5 obvious. Hollywood controls the market because it deserves to, be- think of many depressing failures. ‘There's something el mething psychological, invisible to the naked %b——thll keeps America in control of per cent of the world's supply of movies. * ok Rk The strangest aspect of the whole business is to be observed in England, ;vhm most of the complaints cofne rom. Why has England always been ut- terly unable to produce good pictures? England produced Charlie Chaplin. It produced many of the best stars and directors who are now to be found in Hollywood. It is certainly not lacking in the necessary talent. The fog, of course, presents a de- ressing problem—but the fog needn't nterfere with studio work. Most of the fine German pictures, t Laugh,” “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,” “Slegfried” and “Variety,” were made almost entirely inside the studio, Has England ever accomplished any- thing that can be compared with these plctmren? She most emphatically has not. Famous Players-Lasky, the most pow- erful and efficlent American company. once went so far as to build a studio near London, to equip it with the finest lights, cameras, etc., that could be ob- tained, and to install in it a staff of prominent and experienced actors, di- rectors and technicians. After a series of discouraging faflures, Famous Players gave up the fight for British-made films and returned to sun- kist Hollywood. Will Honor Players omorrow.

Rupert Hughes, who has turned out more than one best-selling novel and who is fairly well known among pub- lishers of the story books people love to read, wrote “The Patent Leather Kid" as a full length novel. | He completed it about the time the allies achieved their victory over the Germans, and just after the armistice offered the manuseript to his pub- lishers in New York. “Nothing doing on war novels,” was their ters: comment. At that time publishers were of the opinion that the reading public had read all it would | ever care to read about war. In vain Hughes pointed out that | “The Patent Leather Kid" is not | strictly speaking a war story. It is a love story, which utilizes the war sim- | ply as a background. But the pub-| lishers didn't care fur war—even background. 5 Hughes then rewrote the tale, this time as a short story.

Of course, it is easy to say that Holly- wood has sunshine, whereas London (for instance) has fog. That is a prac- tically incontrovertible argument; but it doesn't entirely answer the question. Fine pictures have been made in New York, in New Bedford (Mass.), in Berlin and in Moscow—where the climate is none too reliable. Furthermore, Hollywood has money. This is one of the main grievances of the foreign protest raisers, who love to complain that American dollars are being used to flood the world with dan- gerous American propaganda. But here again the argument fails te hold water. The scale of costs being what it is in | Hollywood, a dollar there buys less than does a bent sixpence in Glasgow. Dollars don't look so big when you have to pay 10,000 of them, every week, to a star, who, in her own home town, would be only too delighted to work for 50 gold that makes Hollywood the citadel of the cinema-—or the lack of same that prevents London from offering substan- tial competition. | Nor is it any superior knowledge of the art or technique of the movies.
