Possibly it was be- | cause 1 was reared in tioe atmosphere of | the theater and am conscquently pre- | judiced. At any rate the value I have | always placed and do still place npon the big stage star, as far as concerns th motion picture, is not that alone of com mercinlista. It is an artistic value as well.

Hart is, perhaps, the most | shining example of the ‘fifty-fitty’ prop- | osition I have stated. For twengy years | he played on the stage. A little moro | than a year ago I prevafled on Mr. Hart | to come to Callfornia and work under | my direction in a photo play. He agreed | and was surprised to note with what swiftness he, a seasoned actor, had im- proved. He also surprised the revered reviewers who had belleved there was no room for improvement.
