Thomas H. Ince, motion picture producer. "Why, the editors of the world,” ho answers himself. And immediately Ince hurls thirty questions at the editors, asking them about the motion picture from the public’s point of view. What doss the public wrfnt in its motion pictures? What do the people believe to be the function of the motion picture? What of its future? What critlclms is most often made of the motion picture? In a determined effort to obtain the answers to the above questions and many others eqaully vital to the producer and public alike, the producer has launched a world-wide survey of the motion picture. "What the public wnnts in Its motion pictures” Is a matter that has agitating the foremost picture producers, particularly during the past year. Ince proposes to find out what the public wants by the most direct method available. The survey will be accomplished through the medium of thousands of editors all over the world. The selection of editors to speak for the people Is based upon the accepted fact that of all classes or professions, the editors are in a position to Judge most accurately just what It Is the public wants. Everywhere In the world wherever the motion picture is screened—in Europe, South America, Australia, Mexico or Canado —the editors will be asked to assist the producer.

The questions have been so designed as to elicit acurate and definite information on the public's attitude toward the motion picture—lts Influence on life, Its future, and Its greatest entertainment and educational value.

New Plays Headed This Way

ENGLISH'S —HENRY W. Savages entirely new production of "The Merry Widow,” which crowded to capacity the Knickerbocker In New York, will be offered at English's, Dec. 22, 23, 24. Franz Lehar's operetta of romqnco and pulse- ' quickening, heart-throbbing Viennese melodies, comes opportunely sweeping I Into its own again. Just when the ear Is i somewhat over-jazzed, and th© dancing j masters have decided that there Is to be a renaissance of the graceful waltz. Mr. Savage has given It a costly production and cast—the latter of grand opera quality. There is a large dancing chorus; the company's own orchestra under Mr. Max Hirschfeld, a Hungarian band, new scenes by Joseph Urban and Robert Bergman, modish revelations of costume j creation by Peggy Hoyt.

MATT MOORE RECOMMENDS By Matt Moore (Copyright, 1921, by Matt Moore)

NEW YORK. Nov. 26. —“Doubling for Romeo,” with Will Rogers in the leading role, Is the most amusing photoplay I have 6een since "A Connecticut Yankee at the Court of King Arthur.” Every motion picture fan will enjoy this uproarious satire on motion pictures, because in It he or she will see exposed to fun all the faults of his or her favorite Indoor sport. The titles Will Rogers wrote for his picture are the cleverest titles used in any motion picture I have ever seen, with the possible exception of those in “A Connecticut Yankee.” “The Conquering Power,” Rex Ingram’s latest picture, with Alice Terry, Rudolph Valentino and Ralph Lewis in the leading parts, is a beautiful production of Balzac's great story, "Eugenio Grandet.”

Balzac’s story Is followed as faithfully as possible and the acting of the Jhree major roles is excellent. The rest of the cast are also perfect, and the photography Is as beautiful as any 1 have ever seen. Norma Talmadge in "The Wonderful Thing” is charming as the wealthy daughter of a Middle Western hog king, who has been educated in France, the home of vivacity, and who wins her way by her charm and tact Into the hearts of the coldest numbers of the English aristocracy. Norma Talmadge runs through this picture in a light, airy manner, which demonstrates the versatility of this accomplished star, for the part is quite different from the powerful part she played so well in “The Passion ihower.” Os epurse, “The Wonderful Thing” is love.
