The Pirates has the more certain touch. It was with this opera that the authors determined to' challenge the American copyright law. They started badly; Sullivan had left all his sketches for Act I. behind, and had to write it out from memory in New York while Act II. was In rehearsal.

But they succeeded, and the law has been modified, partly in consequence. The Policemen's chorus was the great draw; but now, when we think so differently of that force, it is out of date; besides, the music is trivial.

The most solid bit of craftsmanship has been the exploitation, in both these pictures, of a young actress called Joan Gardner, a girl with a frank, impudent race, not too pretty, not too WesWEnd, and a voice that does unexpected things at crucial moments.

These excellent quality Mb illmtrated above, are most delightful thing was to hear everybody singing in tune. There was only one lapse the end of Mabel's duet and that was the conductor's fault, who waxed so sentimental over it that nobody knew which moment was gwine to be de nex'," and flatness Is the inevitable result of that. Ttie orchestra was first class particularly brass, and wind, and strings.

The production hod a delicious zest about it. Faust." Faust in Sumner Austin's production Is quite a thing to see at Uie Old Vic. The best thing about it is the spirit that everyone on the stage puts into It: there is sentiment without exaggeration, and business without fuss. One puts that down first to the producer, and second to the conductor, Lawrance Colllngwood, who sweeps the thing along tn fine siyle, though the Kiriness was a trifle too fast, and be did not quite get Ills way in the valse at once. The scene at the well was omitted, the serenade antedated, and the cathedral scene postdated, all advantageously.

Mephletopheles casts gigantic shadows on the backcloth. Instead of the usual final vision of Margaret at the spinning-wheel, we had an angel of hope, and a crystal for Faust to gaze into (but he forgot to gaze). There was no bad acting, and plenty of good, but the important thing was that it was all unselfish. Winifred Kennard gave us a very respectable Jewel Song, and a line finale to the opeTa. Frann-lyn Kelsey gave the kind of Mepliistophtles that ie dear to the gallery, and yet managed lo combine good singing with it.

Arnold Matters, taking Valentine for the flrt time, made a thoroughly good start. Tudor Unvies, having improved bis singing out of all knowledge, has added lo it retirent and statuesque acting. The dancers did not look bored that is a triumph. If they knew it. This revival or retreshal.

The easy flow of the melodious phrases must appeal to anybody; and there are things In it that delight a musician the compass that expands gradually from and contracts quickly to a centre, the sly little nnnovnnre at objection which was inane syncopation, and the tidy untidiness of the phrase-lengths (3, 4, 6, 8). There is another British, film public is looking for more from its producers than good craftsmanship. We can get good craftsmanship from America and do. What we want, and look for with increasing impatience, is some kind of native inspiration in the studios something that no other country could give us.

We want some reflection on the screen of our own way of thinking, our own approach lo familiar problems; we want to see our own country as a factor in modern life. London Film Productions doesn't give us that. We can never forget lhat it is London Film Productions, with a telephone number in Mayfair. Its working people are caricatures; life is faced insistently the standpoint of good breeding. Evea Oxford, as Sagan has represented it in Men of To-morrow," is just the mother of generations of good Londoners.

It Is a very bad tiling for the British film industry that the British public happens lo be the most patient in the world. If we bad more often howled down our national inepitudes. as we did at the Dominion Theatre last week, instead of putting up Willi them, we should have got eomething better out of the British industry long ago. Our midget-minded producers and players are not really trying to baulk us. They have no Idea bow remote their world Is from the life of ordinary people.

What I do veto is the constant preoccupation of the film with a small section of West-End snobbism with silly little people leading futile little lives, and making an inordinate fuss about it. The American cinema deals with silly little people too, but it hardly ever makes the mistake of giving them futile lives.

They are executed in oil and signed Sine Murkinnon, who is in private life Mrs. Bupert 1'ordliam. Fresh and colourful, picturesque in subject, personal In point of view, spry in treatment, these paintings seem lo spring from the same emotive sources in which I trillo and Innes found the incentive for their creations, although they strike one by no means as being imitative ot these artists' styles. On the contrary, there is a vital note of sincerity in Miss Mackinnon's work, and if some of the landscapes make one think of Innea and some of the street scenes of Utrillo, this Is not due to anv conscious adaptation of manner, but to the close similarity of reaction to an exterior subject. Miss Mackinnon's main concern is to give her paint a rich and pleasing quality and to build up her pictures true value against true value.

Her pictures delight bv sheer loveliness of colour and by agreeable surface quality. Composition does not worry her. She depends upon Nature to design her pictures, but Nature, unaided bv the artist, is rarelv a good designer. That Is to pay. it is the artist's function nf vrl- wliii-h deem worthy of buying.
