0 f ^ c i c It c e 205 aims of these two artists — the term is used here advisedly—are realized, the season of 1914-15 may, through their achievements, usher in the advent of that vital era of the motion-picture art which so many persons believe is due to be hastened by the unsatisfactory outcome of the majority of the film productions of stage successes of other days. It would appear reasonably certain, in view of the manner in which film undertakings are now financed by hard-headed business men, that Miss Gardner could extend her productivity and attain heights impossible of accomplishment where "speed" and "footage" are the basic foundation of film operations. In England Miss Gardner would have no trouble to procure unlimited capital. In America, her two years' record in the face of obstacles should serve to make her name a sight draft on the public purse. What she needs now is a New York theatre, where her future productions may be properly launched. Possessing such a playhouse in the accepted theatre zone and unhampered by financial problems, the forthcoming productions emanating from the Tappan studio would represent the real photoplays, created, staged, and portrayed by the best exponents of the new art, who established their capacity long before it was thought advisable to visualize plays originally written and conceived with the limitations of a four-walled playhouse alone in mind.
