A MUSEMENTS. Flashes From the Screen By C.E. NE of the foremost of the motion picture trade papers, Film Daily, makes a suggestion that, while Uncle Sam is counting noses to d out just how big a-family he the movie people, through the eaters, determine the public de- sires in the way of cinema enter- tainment. It is stated that the theaters are in a position to find out, by way of a sort of census, just what the cash customer wants. From this angle, it would seem that the suggestion is a bit vague, and that it would be rather dif- ficult to reach an authentic re- sult. And, even after a compila- tion was arrived at, what good would it do? The motion picture froducers have made their own laws. Their productions run in cycles and vogues (as, for instance, witness the backstage shows of many months), and they are pri- marily interested in the box office. It was thought that the musical icture with a stage plot might go to the discard with the im- provement of reproduction meth- ods, but this one plot seems to have found a determined lodging place in the minds of producers and directors. Until something new comes along and makes a hit, I do not see much chance of a change of plots. It is probable that the successful premiere show- ings of “All Quiet on the Western Front” and “Journey’s End” will bring upon us a flood of war pic- tures and an avalanche of sound- roaring cannon, popping machine guns and airplane motors high above the front lines. Film Daily’s suggestion for a census to determine what the pub- lic wants would amount to just that. It would not change the output of the film manufacturers. Censorship, public relations and bac! und, together with the problem of ‘what the patron likes and dislikes, are features of mo- tion picture production and ex- hibition which time and tide will have to shake down. * ok ok % NO less an authority than 8. L. Rothafel, better known as “Roxy,” has put his stamp of ap- g:r:vnl on the war story, “Journey’s d.” In a letter to the producer, he says: “In my humble opinion, it is a master-work. Every Eng- lishman, as well as every other red-blooded person, will feel a thrill of pride after viewing it. I sincerely congratulate you and every one associated with the company that is responsible for such a great picture.” Of course, the picture was showing at “Roxy’s” theater. * k% ¥ ALTEOUGH the Fox company has been going through a serious reorganization plan, af- fairs seem to be pretty well set- tled at the present time, and the future looks especially bright. For instance, wlth Harley L. Clarke as head of the m_omnmum there will be instituted a p: of expansion which mnu with the building of eight new sound stages in Movietone City, on the ‘West Coast. Joseph Urban, world-famous de- signer and architect, has con- tracted with the Fox company to design the sets in color for Mark Twain’s “Connecticut Yankee,” with Will Rogers in the leading role, and Jules Eckert Goodman’s “The Man Who Came Back.” It is stated that Urban will pause in Nelson. ardization of the wide film is yet a discussed problem, but its adjustment is expected soon. ‘There is no doubt that the prob- lem of close-ups and the wide screen is still one of dimensions to the motion picture producer. The exhibitor is also confronted with the problem of the wide screen, but it will eventually ar- rive. Although the sound pic- ture has attained a popularity which is world-wide, comparisons with productions on the speaking stage are still a necessity. The stage allows a latitude of expres- sion which the talking screen has been unable to reach. This one fault, in the future, may prove a large-sized handieap to the screen. When a line is delivered on the stage, the reaction of that line to other characters is clearly defined in the faclal expressions. But in the talking film the reaction can- not be seen on the various faces concerned in the particular scene. The player delivering the speech must be given a close-u? to show his feeling, thereby eliminating other players from the scope of the camera. To get their expres- sion, owing to the narrowness of the screen, the camera must be shifted from one character to an- other in close-up until the audi- ence sees the reaction on each person in the scene. All this re- tards the action of the play it- self and also has an erratic in- fluence on the co-ordinated effect. The camera must eventually find a way to show reaction on all characters in unison at the time the line is delivered to bring the film to a momentum of action. For instance, the stage would get the screen effect if a spotlight were played upon a single talking character in a scene, the other ness. is would not be practi- cal or effective. will probably change all this— when it is finally perfected. * % x % Short Flashes. “PARTY GIRL,” one of the new pictures, has been barred from exhibition in Chicago. The Cook_ County Circuit Court also upheld the ban placed on the gangland picture, “Alibi.” Anita Stewart, one of the old- time movie stars, has signed a contract with First National Pic- tures. She recently completed a vaudeville tour on the Lowe circuit. Cecil De Mille will direct his daughter, Katherine, in “Madame Satan.” The girl has a small part plnyeu'tl')helng placed in the dark- | atexan The wide screen and wide film | 8o .THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, -D.

In the third act, when Richelieu, to foil the conspirators, is lying on a couch, feigning death, Mr. Barrett leaned over Mr. Booth with ashen face and whispered that he could not con- tinue.

THE old-time motion picture director, resplendent in white riding breeches and mirror-polished puttees, shouting bitter words through a megaphone at his awed co-workers, has become just nno'.her vanishing American. In his place appears a new type of director, who dresses comfortably in old clothes, fraternizes with everybody on the set and—speaks in whispers. as her first venture in the movies. Harold Lloyd has started work with his talker, “Feet First.” The cfmedhn plays the part.of a shoe clerk. “Song of the Flame” was well received at the opening Fer!orm- ance in Los Angeles a few days ago. On account of the illness of George Bancroft, work on his new ess | picture, “The Caveman,” has been abandoned indefinitely. It is also announced that Gary Cooper will play the leading role in the sound version of the Rex Beach story, “The Spoilers.” Bancroft was to have had this part. Buster Keaton’s next picture will be called “War Babies.” Sally Eilers will play opposite the comedian. David Wark Griffith has com- pleted his “Abraham Lincoln.” One hundred and twenty players his present work of deulgnlng sets for the Metropolitan Opera Co. for 10 weeks, lenvmg for Hol- lywood the latter part of June. If time permits, he will also work on two musical luctions in collaboration with De Sylva, Brown & Henderson. “The Man Who Came Back” will be directed by Frank Borzage, with whom Ur- ban made “Humoresque.” * * ¥ % INOW that the “Check and Double Check” comedians have ed a movie contract with R-K-O, there is considerable spec- ulation as to just what Amos and Andy will pay income tax on from the venture. Around Forty-second and Broadway, once well known in theatrical matters, it is stated that if the new sound picture is & success, the two artists will re- ceive, as their share, close upon a million dollars. But if the pic- ture is a flop, that will be some- thing else again. * % k% WHAT has become of the wide reen?

'ORINNE GRIFFITH, recently voted the most beautiful of screen stars by Hollywood players and studio work- ers, and never to be forgotten as Lady | Hamilton in “The Divine Lady,” has decided to retire from the screen. To ¢hat end she has issued a statement: “I want to take time to find other interests in life. I want to travel to places I've never had time even to read shout I have never had time to study. I would like to know sbout art and lit- mture When talking pictures came in I took up the study of voice. I studied plano, too. It opened a whole new fleld to me.
