JOHN B, AMIO, Royal Theater, Atchison, Kansas, apr30 THE KINEMA AGAIN Reasonably or unreasonably, the kinema has been accused of many sins, but there sounds a good deal of truth in a new charge that is brought by the official organ of the Variety Artistes’ Federation. ances which may, for a!! their silence. matter for the performer—from his point break House”’ if those in favor fail to It seems that people are far less ready to clap performhave left them quite well pleased. of view “signify their approval Applause in the right place is a real part of the suc -essful stage spectacle, It is a serious theater becomes a real ‘‘Heartin the usual mranner.”” and unless the we are to remodel our whole conception of the theater it is not fair to the actor to with hold it. The new charge against the kinema is tion of the theater. There is no point in happened six months ago at Los Angeles, lished in our midst before even those who and the were there was something a little ridiculous about letting emotion overflow into applause. that, in effect, it is remodeling our concepapplauding a photograph of something that ‘‘movies’? had not been long estabdeeply moved by them discovered that So the kinema actor——or the transferred shade of him—agonizes most strenuously, and the result is taken in complacent silence. ‘This is the tradition that is being carried forward into the real theaters and music halls, says the variety performer, and this is why, judging by applause, it is geting far more difficult to shake an audience from its new stolidity. The audience is learning, in fact, to take everything and give nothing in return—which sounds very probable indeed, seeing how much tempestuous action and emotion is offered by the kinema without any expectation of applause. But with the theater the bargain is a bad one for both sides of the footlights—a ‘‘cold’® house deserves, and frequently gets, a cold performance. The kinema seems, in fact, to be a blacker sheep in the theatrical world than had been suspected. It not only takes for good as many theaters as it can from the poor actor, but is making it impossible for him to play with satisfaction in those that are left. « MANCHESTER GUARDIAN, POPES EESSESSEFESESESFS OFFS SS OSSE SSS SSSSS SSIS SSSI P SOO O® WANTED—Adrance Agent; must use brush and drive Ford car; one famiiar with small towns in Minnesota and Dakotas preferred.
