While the theatre has for half a century been accepted as the criterion of fashion, here is proof — in an absorbingly interesting account by the modest young man responsible for the attire of three-fourths of the motionpicture gentlemen — that the crown has passed from the night to the daylight stage. A Dramatist Who Found Himself What js more interesting than a human document — the story of a man who triumphs in expression only after an heroic struggle with his medium? We're wondering why this account has never been printed before; it's the true narrative of a celebrated American playwright, who, retiring with a comfortable fortune at middle age, discovered that spoken lines no longer lured him. He threw himself into picture-writing with all the enthusiasm of youth — and today he is one of the most successful American scenario-writers. Photography — The Mile-a-Minute Art Do you know that the art of photography itself, the great material base of all motion picture achievement, is a thing as changing as the substance of stories and our idea of good acting ? The story of American motion picture photography is an absolute romance; its problems today are as exciting as some of the problems of war. One of its masters — J. M. Nickolaus — laboratory chief of the Triangle Film Corporation, will tell you of it in October Photoplay. Government Activities Photoplay for October will give a most remarkable showing, on many pages, of our government activities in the war. It is impossible, owing to changing conditions and the momentary demands of censorship, to completely catalogue these in advance. The Shadow Stage Julian Johnson, who this month returns to Photoplay's editorial offices, will next month resume his personal conduct of the Shadow Stage, Photoplay Magazine's department of review.
