The reagon for this abundance of crook plays is easy to determine. There were one or {wo smashing suc- cesses, and then the enterprising producers in lieu of new ideas fol- lowed up with more of the same. This invariably is the case in a com- | petitive field, industrial or supposed- | ly artistic. By the time all the film producing companies got through providing all their crook plays the’ crop was quite extensive. The crook plays began before the talkies got started. They switched from the silent to the audible films with astonishing ease, and possibly were improved by the ordeal. At least, it was an advantage to hear the lingo of the crooks as well as to note their actions. Britishers, how- ever, do not seem to be highly im- | pressed with the lingo utilized, evi- esque a language as that used by such cockneys as are still part of the population of London. It is believed that the epidemic of crook plays has about run its course. With something like an army corps | of moving picture industrialists active in Hollywood it may be that somebody will invent a new epidemic minute. THE WAR DEBTS FIGURES UP-TO-DATE Frequently one reads letters in the New York papers advocating that the United States government can- cel the war debts owing us from abroad. In such letters the nations which had joined to fight the cen- tral empires are referred to as “our allies.” And then one reads letters—and also speeches by U. S. senators—to the contrary. These usually refer to “our associates” in the war. There is a difference between be- ing an “ally” and an “associate.” We certainly were not one of the so- called allies. but went into the war as an assoclate of the allies. We en- tered it on our own hook and then joined ferces with these already | separate peace treaty. Manifsstly, the government of the associate.
