es +e TURNING ON THE SPOTLIGHT By CHARLES DARNTON. hear a great deal W truth in the theatre, but we get precious little of it. We might even be justified in suspecting 4 conspiracy against it. There ts no Jack of evidence to show that some @f our playwrights consider fiction @tranger than truth. Certainly their Products are strange enough to es- tablish this fact. These enterprising authors may argue that truth ts dull and needs Polishing up a bit before being placed om sale. If in the process they it beyond recognition they May contend they have wrought a ohange for the better that will delight the novelty-seeking customer. What they really strive to do is s0 to @aszie him that he is blind to truth and bas an eye only for fiction. N “Manhattan” the Greenwich Vil- lage girl delights to ask ‘‘Ain’t it the truth?” We'll say it ain't. For one thing, here is a slangy, illiterate girl, sud- @enly loved by a wealthy highbrow who writes essays on “Ethics of the Fourth Dimension"’ for the Atlantic Monthly, It would be fust as reason- @bie to expect Brander Matthews to fall madly in love with Sophie Tucker. Then, again, can you believe in a Néw York family that speaks with an English accent? Of course you can't. This, to be sure, has nothing to do with the authors of the play, But the truth of that play rests also with its producer. It is awful to contemplate what would happen to a London production im which an English family was made wp of American actors, After the booing of the performance the news- papers would raise a howl that could be-heard for 3,000 miles. It is right, fm my opinion, that English plays whould be acted here with English Screenings By DON A TIMELY. Health Commissioner Copeland of Mew York tells us all how to keep 001 in the latest Urban Movie Chat. @uch advice surely comes at a handy time, Guess we'll try it. ‘He radios from the screen: “Don't talk politics.” “Don't wear yourself out waving @ palm-leaf fan.” “Do take at least one bath a day.” “Two @ day are better.” “The chocolate box, too much los ream s0da, all rich in fats and sugar, ‘will add to the heat of the body.’ “Don't exercise until the cool of the evening.” “Calmness of spirit, the placid mind, eheerfulness are essential to keeping cool.” “Don't chill the surface of the'body by having the current of an electric fan play upon you.” “And most important of all,” says the doctor, “is when you're at the sea- @hore you shouldn't drink ice water ‘when coming out of the water.” NOW WE KNOW. Madame Nazimova’s indecision as to whether her next appearance ‘would be in @ screen or stage drama bas given to a multitude of rumors, the most prevalent of which fs that she is about to come to New York and stage a dramatic presenta- ton of Wilde's lyrical and poetic @rama, “Balome.”, The Russian star has no euch intention and never has had. This statement is positively given out by her husband and direc- tor, Charles Bryant, who calls attention to the fact that the Russian @tare version of “Salome” based on the Wilde drama and the Beardsley drawings was to be released some time in October, “It would be poor business and art,” says Mr. Bryant, “to chal- ise our picture with a dramatic ‘Version and to ‘over-feed’ the public on ‘Salome.’ The fact is, however, thdt Madame Nazimova is contem- Plating seriously the production of @ spoken drama which is now in our hands and under negotiation by which We hope to secure the American rights—you will see by that that it fe a foreign made play. If her pre- getit plans prevail, in all probability we shall present this drama in New York this winter, following the launching of our photoplay, ‘Salome,’ which we figure on releasing some time in October.

We must srant that Edward Locke has done this much in the interests of truth. Some of the things the wife does when she discovers that her husband and step-sister are on extremely familiar terme with each other make her seem a littie mad. This is readily understood. But her remarkable skill in tying up the pair on u sofa with the family clothesline is quite past understanding. Although the finish- ing touches are put on the job be- tween acts, all the credit Frieda, This leaves us to assume that she knows even more than Will Rogers's wife can possibly know about the domestic art of roping. Mr. Rog- ers may not be a nervous man, but I should strongly advise him against seeing this amazing feat. He may declare the play isn't true, that roping of this kind is never done indoors, even if there should be a bucking sofa that needed breaking. HETHER we get the truth W about movie people In “Lights Out" ts more than I can say, but the office boy of the studio says they are all nuts," and he seems to know them pretty well, It is possible, however, that the authors of this comedy are just pok- ing a little fun at the makers of pio- ture plays.
