Judging the Shows (Continued from page 19) good enough to make one forget the movie when finally it began to grind, they might be thought to have a little sense. . But when they bore their audiences to death just before the really superlative boring of the evening is about to get under w. one may be for- given for looking at them and tapping one’s head in a significant and, I fear, impolite manner. It is all very well to argue that these prologues must be pleasing to the movie audiences, otherwi the latter wouldn't stand for them. But exactly the same argument may be applied to an awful belly- ache. As things go in this world, it is sometimes unfortunate that people have to stand for things that they don’t want to stand for and that they would be a lot merrier without. If the moving picture audiences actually want the prologues, then I am ready to believe that theater audiences ac- tually want orchestraless theaters. The fact is that the movie audi- ences have to stand the prologues | just as the theater audiences have to stand cheap dinner gongs in place of musicians. They can either take it or leave it—and if they crav a movie (there are said to be such persons in the world) or a play, they simply have to take it. The movie prologues are the word in entertainment ba- y. Up to date, there hasn't been shown one—so I am reliably informed by gentlemen acquainted with the situation—that hasn't disgraced even the worst movie put on on the same bill, And as disgracing goes, that may be said to be considerable disgracing. One and all, they are the sourest kind of dancing, pantomime and vocal hash, unworthy of a second- rate turkey show and as full of torture—even to a movie audience —as a severe attack of sinus trouble. The day that the abs Ww ace ndoned will witness a renewed of prosperity for the pic- tures. If they aren’t, it will not be many before the big movie palaces will begin to show figures on the wrong side of their ledgers.
