Seen On The
Stage---Screen
(Edwin R. eiss)r
The announcement of the presen-
tation of "Passion" at the Majestic1
theatre for the next seven days is one
which allows everyone the pleasant
opportunity of seeing a motion pic-
ture of great educational as well as
entertainment value, and one which
is perhaps the advance agent of a
long-heralded photodramatic art which
is to come.
It is significant that this type of
play, unexcelled by any other work
except possibly that of David Grif-
fith, should have emerged from a
European source. "Passion" is the
genus of picture to which D. W. Grif-
fith is tending, a photoplay which al-
though in parts is spectacular, de-
pends rather upon the delicacy of the
acting for its force and interest.
Field New to Europe
Europe is a comparatively new film
field. The United States is the vet-
eran of the industry. Then the ques-
tion naturally arises, why must such'
a picture as "Passion" be given us
by Europe? Why do we not film this nately their numbers are few and
better class of story? The answer is their patronage has little pecuniary
obvious concerning America; the value.

2000 MILE FLIGHT RECORD
The great majority of the producers
are working for the sole purpose of
making as much money as possible.;
The few who are less mercenary in
their designs at least must reap
enough currency from their produc-
tions to enable them to keep on with
the work. For this reason the motion
picture industry must cater to the
taste of the masses. If it does not it
is lost.
The masses, on the other hand, hold
a rather low conception of the pur-
pose of a motion picture. It is to{
most of them merely a means of pass-

This is the dilemma of the Ameri-
can producer. His standards can
rise only as do those of the people
upon whom he depends or his exist-'
ence is endangered. Perhaps little
by little, and it is being done, he can
elevate the masses from stage to
stage, but it is a f'r-fetched proce s
which can more easily be accomplish-
ed if the people themselves adopt ia
new attitude toward the motion pic-
ture, the attitude which will enable'
the photoplay more quickly to be
viewed as a reflection of life and not
a jumble of cheap imagery. It is ar
