,'ASHINGTON WILL HAVE ITS MOVIE UNIT AT WORK 4es Cathrin. Curtis Planning ts Use Capital and Its Envi- rohs for Screening Purposes. Has One Novel for Film Now. 'II MISS CATHRINE CURTIS. O FF and on for several years there have been spasmodic attempts at organizing a local motion picture producing or- ganization, but each in its turn has seemed fruitless, and one is prompted to wonder why. The real reason, doubtless, is that no organisation strong enough to car- y to its conclusion a real pro- duction with real talent has at- tempted to produce in Washing- en. Now comes the information that lthrine Curtis, an Arizona girl of a socially prominent New York farn- Ily, whose first venture in motion pictures was with "The Shepherd of the nis," and whose most suc- essful recent production was Ralph Conner's "The Sky Pilot," directed b King Vidor with Colleen Moore. John Bowers. David Butler, Kath- eM -Kirkham and Donald MacDonald is coming to Washington at the solicitation of some prominent busi- seo men of the District. Miss Curtis. who, by the way. L the only woman producer, has pur- chased the rights to several best- sellers,, and has chosen for her next production a famous novel by Eng- land's foremost author-psychologit. She plans to enter upon Immediate production for release through Asso- .iattd First National Pictures, Inc. It is said that a prominent New York society woman who recently nade her professional debut on the croen will appear in the leading tamale role. Whether this be so or not, a rep- resentative of Miss Curtis Is now at the Washington, and has been in conference with a number of Wash- tngtonlans who have been especially interested in bringing a permanent einema producing unit to the Dis- trict. Miss Curtis is one of the few wromen in the history of the moving picture industry who have actively directed a picture producing com-. peny. Stars and other women own *their companies, but their connec- tion with ijhe executive affairs is sldomn as Intimate as that of Miss Curtis. Her big success, "The Sky Pilot," which I. still remembered by those who gasped at the thrill- ing cattle stampede on the screen at Crandall's Metropolitan last sprtg, grew out of the whim of this New York society girl who beamne Interested--while ranching 'it in Arisonar-In the picture busi- nssa. So fond of it has she be- * ems and so convInced is she that it oaers an unlimited field for the professional woman, that she ex- presses a srious doubt that she will ever desert It. Cathrine Curtis," says a oon- temuporary review, "impressec one's admirations deeply. She is the ideal modern business woman- fresh and breesy of personality, thoroughly enggng and interest- ing, practical and sincere. She is wholesome and genuine, and a dJ- rect ciallenge to those who would bar weenen from business. (apability is written -all over her attractive, smartly gowned self, and the comfortable feeling with which one is made to approach her remains as one talks with her. Miss Curtis' pet aversions are the little incon- sistencies and absurdities which the careleas producer all ows to creep into features, and it is her determ- indton, she says, teo inate every possible bit of incon i'uty tu every production. She is profoundly im-. pressed with the advance of the ioture industry within the last few years and avers that the screen is 'the biggest thing In America to- can only hope that Miss Curtis wMil comne to Washington and take mdvantage of the wonderful photo- giaphie eampesition that it and the eurrnadfing country offers for the 4s...l=u=en. of te highest type of QUO VADIS" IN MOTION Gainng ameovenigt, he hot-drma QuoVadis" will be brought to ahntnadsonti ekmtne and evenings at the Natona Thatr. t i baedon he ookofthat name and puts in motion pictures all the thrills and history which that great work in- corporate.. WITH ALAN DALE AT NEW YORK THEATERS (Continued From Page Six) ) urgent that they should. However artistic It may be to suggest the in- terrogational ending, this is rarely permitted. Why, therefore, should the dramatic writer sit in the theater, mortifying his flesh and growing stale watching a finale that he positively known, when possibly he has accumulated a little enthusiasm during the early acts and can utilize it nicely in his work ? Then to one if he remain, that edhthusiasm will vanish in the banal settlement of the play. I say: Maintain your enthusiasm if you have any, and do not let it evaporate by means of an act the message of which is: "They lived happily ever after." In a picture I carefully depart just before the hero takes the heroine in his arms and gazes soulfully down her throat. When I see that I grow restive. Why spoil my pleasant impressions of restivity? The writer on the theater should not worry hiniself at all about the story of the play. It in an old story. All stories are old. There in noth- ing new In the way of a story. All depends upon the handling, upon the lines, upon the attitude of mind, upon the outlook, upon the philosophy, and upon the acting. TARE David Belasco's two productions--both revivals-"The Easiest Way," at the Lyceum, and "The Return of Peter Grimm," at the Belasco. The stories of these plays are, of course, interesting and per- haps, somewhat unusual (certainly "*The Return of Peter Grimm" is unusual), but the entire point of Mir. Belasco's wonderful work for the theater is missed if the reviewer concern himself with telling the story of these plays. He can do no more than tell the story of every trashy production. The play that opens on a Monday night and closes on the following Saturday should certainly get other treatment than that of having Its story told, if reviewers are to do the same thing by a Belasco production. It isn't fair.-to tell the story of a play when the production itself is beautiful, the acting perfect and the stage management flawless. The two. Belasco productions-or revivals-are so compelling fine, so utterly unlike the rank and file of the season's plays, tht it would be sheer Injustioe to let them go with a mere telling of their stories. It would be a crime. Any reviewer who can go to either the Lyceum or the Belasco theater and find nothing to do but tell the stories of the plays there would probably consider the flephone book as literature. When you see "The Easiest Way" or 'The Return of Peter Grimm" it is not the story of the plays that strikes you, but it is the masterly handling, the perfection of detail, the warmth and comfort of the atmosphere, the exquisite acting, the sincerity, the deep love of the theater, the psychic sense of sentiment and the general appear to something blow the sur- face.

Schnitsler wrote a very delightful, if rather free. group of expositions of the way of a maid with a man and vice versa. The comedy was delicious, with that particularly Viennese type of naughtiness that is a fair compromise between the broad vulgarity of the German osaedy and the dainty wickedness of the French. The Viennese is like that-whthr he is dealing wtih music or plays or pictures, the pre-war Viennese, that is. So far as I know, "The Affairs of Anatol" has not been pro'duced in this country except semi-profession- ally in a manner of speaking. W HAT I saw was the title of the Schnitsler "Affairs of Anatol" flashed on the screen followed by a Robert W.
