Charlie said we would get them, because the demands them. Now comes Mr. Douglas Fairbanks, of the “Mary and ” combination, echoing Charlie's plea for better Be: ies, but going one step farther. Doug tells us wherein movies can be improved. He thinks the movies fall flat now because their makers _ imitate the spoken drama. “We who make motion pictures must realize that we ‘are working with an entirely new medium of expression, " gays Doug, “and even the rules governing the drama, the sister art, cannot always be applied tous. We must for- the stage and forget stage mechanics. > “Before | begin to make a picture,” he goes on, “I get ff feeling from it myself that I try to express on the fereen; and if the audience does not leave the theater : some such feeling, then I have not succeeded. co eg has a scheme for lifting the movies to a higher, ler plane. “When we began to take artists, authors, and educated ple of all descriptions into our studios with us, a def- advance was made. “I always wanted more newspapermen, more artists, 1d more school teachers in the industry. Newspapermen, use they are trained to find the fundamentals in a of non-essentials; artists, because they help us in matters of taste; school teachers, because they are ble of discipline. And artists need discipline.” d for you, Doug.

And when I hustle home at night with quite a husky appetite, arriving promptly on the dot to get my dinner prompt and hot—t! find the table ten't set and dinner ten't started yet. But when I'm late I'm always told I have to eat my dinner cold; the meal waa prompt but I was late, the kide were starved and couldn't wait.
