DUMB DRAMA.
The kinematograpli is irresistible. Bjora Bjomson, the son of Bjornsterno Bjorn6on,is'its latest prisoner. He has tor many .years been director of the C'hristiania National Theatre, and ho has now decided to open a biogrnph theatre. Of course his theatro is to bo a high-class, national kinematograpli show, but he is persuaded that the .bicgraph is one of tho best dominies the actor has ever had, for he says only the finest and most finished mimetic art'is good enough for the biograpk. Is the twentieth century to see tho drama, under the pressure of tho biograph,' become dumb, just as in tho second century' Sophocles and Euripides faded into the posturing of a mime? It is a themo which Anatolo France ought to take in hand.
