The Twelve Best Motion Pictures {Continued jrom page 84) Xo one knows less of the West than I, and yet, I shout from the housetops, "Long live 'Scarlet Days" !" Maybe, that's part of the secret — we applaud a different environment from our own. I guess Miss Checkbook adores "alley stunts'' and Miss Yardslick craves more of Lady Gwendolyn \'cre de Vere. Why, how often we skeptically read of the insatiable ambition of screen stars to be practical artistes! We'll say it is quite true that most domestic scientists imagine they'd enjoy decorating the silvcrsheet. Bettie Barry. 119 Glenville .Avenue. Boston, Massachusetts. Those That Li\ e In Memory, Training To Better Things Third Prize THESE twelve photoplays I consider meritorious. Certainly they have lived in my memory, training me to better living. "Broken Blossoms" — Finally our craving for beauty has been satisfied. The enormous breadth of the Mandarin's philosophy, the subtle comparison of his old-world civilization with our "modern" civilization, the love'iness and poignancy of the love theme, all convince us of our own shortcomings, and plead charity to our brother, the yellow man. "The Miracle Man'' — \ successful application of a moral minus the taste of the medicine. The ability of the Patriarch to call forth the best that is in us by his own example of faith and righteousness, teaches us that we are what we have in our hearts. "Bab Stories" — Every .American girl who has seen these stories knows that they are true, remembers living through similar periods, e.xpcriencing identical emotions. Bright and breezy, yet fragrant with tender memories of our girlhood. World-weary Philistines need this sort of play. "The Copperhead" — hn ideal tribute of the .American nation to its martyr-idol, Lincoln, symbolized in the unswerving, dogged faith and love of the loyal Milt Shanks. A beautiful example of true .Americanism. "Shoulder .Arms" — Comedy? Yes! Funny and original, pathetic and touching as only our beloved "Charlie" can be. Remember when the Christmas boxes arrive, Charlie, hurt, humiliated, resorting to the rat-trap for his bit of cheese? Not quite so funny, eh? The story? Immense! .An .American classic. Our humorous memento to the great war. "Hearts of the World" — .An enormous heart-ache. Batt'e-torn France, raped Belgium, the greatest miseries and the smallest, tragedies of nations and tragedies of hearts, dissected and presented as impartially as a student dissects a cadaver. A sermon against all wars. "Pollyanna" — Refreshing. .As sweet as an old-fashioned garden. .A breath of lavender in a land of "Mary Garden." It deserves to live because it keeps youth in our hearts. "Barnebetta" — This play is the indomitable world-old cry for self-expression and advancement of women. Pankhurstian in its methods, it, nevertheless, succeeds in brcakinp the shackles and putting the idea across. It talks for' all women and its plea should be heard. "Revelation" — We appreciate the awakening of a soul from its sordid clay dwelling. It stimulates a similar rcsptonse in us, and. if we are the better for it, should it not live? "When the Clouds Roll By " — Snappy, modern jazz. Unforced f>ep. The best sauce for dyspepsia. It should Uve if only for the T. B. M. "Intolerance" — The injustices of the ages from the criticisms of the Pharisee through the cruelties rampant in France on St. Bartholomew's night up to our own hypocritical, notoriety-seeking, over-ambitious, sordid reformers, arouse one from a lethargy of smu.» self-satisfaction. .A sermon against narrowmindedness, be it of race or creed. "Old Wives for New" — .A woman whose husband is a success physically, mentally, morally and materially, refuses to keep apace with him. .A sane refutation of the evil and justification of the good divorce may do. Naomi R. Heller. Peoria, III. 707 Mary St. Ho-w Real Pictures Strike A Real Boy Third Rrize My favorite motion pictures are these: "Work " — Because I love to laugh — I'm afraid I'm going to be a skinny guy. "In .Again Out .Again" — I like to see Dug crawling up a wall like a lizard and the tough guy who had the note under his hair. "Still Waters" — Where the old circus horse ran away with Marguerite Clark. Great. I'd like that to happen to me. "The Spoilers" — .Although I had a lamp put out tr>-ing to do the big fight with another boy — and the folks all said: "You can't tell me! You got licked — why look at j-our face." "The Birth of a Nation" — I sat on the edge of my chair for three mortal hours and almost suffocated with excitement. "Broken Blossoms" — It made me mad, too. I was afraid the other fellers would see me crying — I'll say she was pretty in her Chink clothes. "Joan the Woman" — Great fight! .And when Joan was hunting among the nobles to find the real king the girl at the piano played, "Oh, where, oh, where has my little dog gone?"' "Orange Blossoms" — Fatty made such a good lady-cook. "Judith of Bethulia" — Gee! It was grand when thev pushed them all ofif the great wall. "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" — Because they made up an honest Injun circus and Rebecca ate the pic the ants made. "The Miracle Man" — Because maybe it will do away with jails, for if a guy can have a better time being good — why not be good? "Cabiria" — .A lot of histon. told in a dandy way — a dandy ole snake, too. .And the big black bloke was some bloke ! Max Wagner. Box 366, Salinas, Cal. The Casting: Director — ("Around Our StuJwi He's very popular, is he. With all the movie coterie. In fact, he k more pop-u-lar Than even any movie star. The greetings that he gets are hearty; He's asked to every single party. They fell him stories to delight him. .And never, never, never slight him. Tiny cast their bread — you get my meaning — .And he casts them — that is, for screening. Time was the movies had no caste — But that day, as you see, k past. — Morric Rvskitid. y:\cry ailrrrtlwmcnt In mOTOrLAT M.\CAZrN"E la niiruitwd.
