There are still those conservatives who go astray abo'it motion pictures In aasuraiiiL' that because the Inven tion has In some lntances been unsatisfactorily utilized it is not proved ca pable of tile? most wonclt-rful utillxa- I tlon.

I do not object to dramatizations my own plays are hein presented on tho Hereon, and I have assisted in their preparation but the photoplay arrived as an art.

and It demands original treatment: the lmapinatlon of a poet, and the dramatii Igor of a master craftsman of the theatre. The solid bedrock foundation of the successful photodrama of tomorrow will be the scenario or play Itself.

Shaw's bitter epithet fas hurled under the seas at Mr. Burton because the latter gentleman advertised in the Boston newspapers that the lion in "Androcles and the Lion" was "Some Lion." These newspapers In due time to Ixmdon. and Mr. Shaw saw them and flew Into a rae. He wrote Mr.

Burton at once, and naid he should stop such slap-stick and bladder foolishness. "It Is perfectly correct." wrote G. B. "to say in your advertisements that my lion ls extraordinary, or astonishing or unusual or anything that your vulgar commercial ir.Htinct may suggest, but as for using the fearful American phrase 'some I can only say that it ls as inelegant as it is ungrammatical, and I forbid it. Not that I care about Its being Inelegant and ungrammatical, but I dislike such cheap, blatant methods to decoy people into the theatre.

I have told you that I would much tather my play was acted to empty houses, and I forbid you to employ the expression 'some lion" again." Percy, however, has feelings of his own. "I decline to be a 'hypnotized owl'," he says, "and I am preparing another cablegram to Mr. Shaw that.
