McINTYRE THE DRIED-OUT BLOTTER BY GEORGE ADE HB overtone of ea*erne«« JL movies seems to me quit* senseless Anyway they are pay¬ ing Will Hays a. hundred thou- .and a year or so to worry. I'd accept all the worries of Holly- Wood for less. Tea, far less. The answer to: What are wo folng to do about the movies? is ¦Imply let them alone. This has been a season of play- gotng for me. I've seen Henry Miller crumple into a heap in a gust of uncontrollable tears over the faithlessness of a Parisian aocotte. I've laughed at Will Rogers" rope throwing and gum chewing. I've watched Laurence D'Orsay haw-haw his delightful way through on* of those ringing for the butler to remove the tea things dramas. It has been pleasant and enter¬ taining. But I was fed up. Bven the lfuslc Boat at 911 a seat tikiled to stir me. TURNED TO FILMS. . . * 80 I turned to the movies. And I've Jupt returned from seeing The Town That Forgot God." Perhaps some of the hardened critics would call it hokum. "Lifhtain'" is hokum. 80 to Old Homestead" and so to «*hs First Tsar." In feet, an stuff of the theater to hokum. If It to good hokum It creates aa illusion that to worth while. That to too touch striving for reality. Straining gnats and swallowing camels, . "The Town That Forgot God" takee us back to the hallowed gays of awlmmIn' holes and pirate caves a vigorous hard-hit¬ ting drama that mads me gin way to a little honorable moisture. In truth I wept. Than them to "One Uniting' Might." which makes the hair rise Just libs it does with a fright wig. Griffith, I hsllsve. produced this. Also there to "The Villags Blacksmith," a genuinely moving Mi of film reproduction. Marion Davtes is turning them away with "When Knighthood in Flower".a oostnms pic¬ ture that, as H. C. Wltwer would say, knocks you for a row of Kindil succotash bowls. I believe- I am a oempetent .Title of the movies. With the oxoeptlon of a Charlie Chaplin film I have not attended the movies for several years. And now rm sating thsm up. His days of gun play and foul murder* have given way to breathless artistry. The movie hanktr no longer wears sido- irtisal whiskers and high hat. Ho looks liks the banker in rsal .about the future of the "Tate ru biok to the hallowed day* t>f iwlmmin' holes and pirate eavee." Villains do not toll with slick little muitaehN and strike patent leather boots with riding crops. They are ths villains of real life. And how the movie audlencee have chanced! People ride to the biasing facade# of the movie housee In motor, oars and wear their ermine wrap*. The first nights take on the flare of t John Drew opening at the Dm- , v There la an acre of white shirt fronts and gleaming White should¬ ers, dassllng with Jewels. The sober truth is that ths movies are giving the eo-called legitimate theaters a hard run on the Rial to. They* have qualities more eaqulsite snd arresting than wo have !u%ur legitimate theaters. During the ttme I have, been absent from the movies the ohanges have been amaslng. Cocker spaniel* are no longer Used as bloodhouqds. Real tear* have bean substituted tar glyce¬ rine fakerlee. A castle Is a real castle and not a stucco affair held up In the back by a prop. Mechanical trains a la Llnooln J. Carter have been replaced by There are momenta la the cinema that rival momenta'In" plays by Salvinl and Boucicault. There are Arthur Hopklnaea and David Belaaooa In thla new movie world. OLD STUFF TAWDRY. The old hell-raisersA aaved the convict at the edge of the elec¬ tric chair. Herolnea were toseed off ollffa, ridden on logs to bun- saws, locked In fearful dungeons and strapped to wild mustanrs. It waa all too lmpoaalble to be¬ liever-tawdry and allly. There were aoenea where women choked and spluttered In throee of dread.and you could almoat see them smiling at the absurdity. Women do not do that In real Ufe. They merely swoon. It appears silly to applaud at the movies, as silly as the young New Yorker who waited at the stage door of a movie house for Mary Plckford, yet so realistic has the movie grown that deafen¬ ing applause punctures the per¬ formance along Broadway. And how different the attitude of the press. They used to have Joat a few notes about the movies. Now each paprr has Ito movie critic.skilled writers who know the theater. A few of those: Qulnn Martin, of the World; Robert Sherwood of the Herald; Luello Parsons. of the Morning Telegraph; Alan Dale, of the American (he a loo revlewa the regular plays); Don Allen, the Evening World, and othera. The flneat theaters in New York are the movie houaea: the Rlalto. the RlvoU, the Criterion, and the atrinfc of fine playhouaes owned by William Fox and B. 8. Mom. In several weeka of movie pil¬ grimaging I have tailed to find a Desperate Deamond or a Cough¬ ing Little Both. FINK PLAYHOUSES. ft seems to me that it la time to let up on the movlea. They have been attacked long enough. Ho have their atara. Recently I talked to Will H. Haya about Hollywood. Ha had aent Joseph Jefferaon O'Nell. for¬ merly one of the shrewdest re¬ porters on the World, to Holly¬ wood, to inveatlgate. Joe O'Nell haa aeen much of Ufa.tha underworld and tha upper. Ha la not to ha tricked. Hollywood did not know ha waa coming. He did not find a single drunken party while ha waa there. Nor oould ho find t dope addict on any of tho lota. He found Inatead that Holly¬ wood folk wont to bad at . o'clock. That thair deviltry con¬ sisted In golhg to soda fountains and tea rooms in the afternoon for a half hour or so. There la more checkers played in Holly¬ wood than'In any other aactlon of America. There Is a screen actor who la reported to be a terrible drug addict, corrupting the morals Of his oo-workera. He heard tha tales. He went to headquarters, he demanded that the atoriea be hushed up. At hla own -solicitation he waa constantly watched by four doc¬ tors for a period of alx weeka. He waa taatad and pounded dally. The doctors declared that not only had he never been a drug addict but that he waa one of the healthleat epeclmena of humanity that had ever encountered. Fatty Arbuckle cave the movlea a black eye. And that was un¬ fair to the industry. Such things hare happened among bankers, artiste, preachers. merchant princea and the like. But tha entire body of men ware not con¬ demned. Tha movlea are all right. Lot then alone.and go to saa them. <Os» nam. ,iMeMaagnt ONPB there was an Almost- (ten u* named Hwlvvleton J. Kiefbit. He was admitted to the Bar away bark yonder when no one had anything on the Hip except a Hip-Pocket. Liquor of extreme potentiality could be had at three or (our gaudy Establinhments in every Block, at any Hotel or Club, or on any Pullman Car. Private Home* and Hotel Bed Rooms were still Dry. When the Old Stuff was 15c a Shot or two for a Quarter, the handing of a Potation to a Fellow- Mortal was regarded as a mere act of Courteay and not as a splendid exhibition of Generosity. The Bar-Fly who received a H gh Ball felt that he was oelng treated.not endowed. Those were the sunshiny days for Mr. Flegble. From early Morn to dewy Eva. various People ware trying to make him drink, and they did. He acted like a Man endeavoring to drown some Secret Sorrow that had learned how to swim. Often It was remarked by the Ladles of hia Acquaintance, "What a wonderful Man Mr. Flacbie would be, if he didn't Drink!" In bis own Profesalon It was generally believed that ba would have been a Member of the Su¬ preme Court long ago It ha had worn Bar-Mutfs at all times. Ha was so brilliant In Cowrsrsa- tlon and so fluent as a Public Spsakar and so keen undsr the Wat when called upon to attack any Legal proposition, that Folks could only surmise what a four- time Wonder he would be if hs would cut out the Flowing Bowl. An Attorney who Is stewed three-f&irths of the time might naturally be suspected ot handi¬ capping his Career. "WATTLER8" EXTINCT. Tou see, Swlv had a high-strung and restless Naturs. He was In¬ clined to fidget around and won¬ der what he could do next to re¬ lieve the Demnltlon Grind. Usually hs struck upon the happy Ex¬ pedient of hoisting about Thraa Fingers of something said to hs 100 proof and twenty years In the Wood Mr. Flegble learned, before ha left the Law School* that a couple of 8norts In the Morning will do you nb Harm unless you let them die later In the Day. He knew a lot of good Toasts and could recite sentimental Verses about Olrls who had gone wrong but were not really to blame. He could carry a Part In a Close Hannony Quartette and his Favorite was "That Little OM Red Shawl."
