A thin and streaky story! will turn itself into a thin and strgaky picture, even though ef- forts may be made to dose the| product with music and gags. One | of the big difficulties of the pro- ducers and directors at the pres- ent time is the scarcity of good stories. Never has this difficulty been more pronounced than to- day—never has it been more noticeable to the photoplay au- diences. A few months ago it was con- sidered by the producers that all the stage plays of the past and present would be available for screen production. This was a mistake, and it did not take long to realize the fact. Plays that were tried out on Broadway, that flopped and were sent to the store- houses, were bought by movie producers. The manuscripts were carried to Hollywood, mulled over by the “experts” and prepared for the screen. In nine cases out of ten these have failed to hit the bull's-eye of public favor. Bigger suceess has been found with un- usual fiction than with the stage &nys It is often quite difficult recognize a story after it has been switched around for the camera, but this is not worth con- may mean.

And this was due, not so much to the main theme—for a homesick, girl-sick doughboy, just out of hospital and the trenches might plaus- ibly do almost anything in the circum- stances—but lay rather in the embroid- ery and acc les. Glenn Hunter worked desperately to keep his well remembered boyish awk- wardness and charm and yet to show that he had been to' war and could be a rather hard-bitten man after all. He turned on the charm, sprinkled the lines and action with it, jerkily and often in- coherently, as is his wont. In the more embarrassed and boyish bits he was sometimes very good and his exit, after he had kissed Myra for the first time and remarked sheepishly, ‘“That was rather embarrassing, wasn't it!” brought out a gust of applause.
