FILM ARTS GUILD
ON FIRM BASIS NOT JUST “HIGH-BROW” The Film Arts Guild of New York is a year old now and is established on a firm basis, even a money-making foundation. Yet it shows only the finest things in films, pictures made in Europe and America. The idea of the guild is to exhibit such pictures as the managers of regular motion picture threatres will not show because they are “highbrow” or morbid, or something. Directors have been stressed In showing films, the guild devoting weeks to the pictures made by a particular director —D. G. Griffith. Ernst Lubitscrh, Paul Leni and others. Gradually a clientele has leen built up for these “better pictures,” such as “The Last Laugh.” “A Woman of Paris,” “Dr. Caligari’s Cabinet,” “Three Wax Works,” “Faces of Children,” “Broken Blossoms” and kindred subjects. An attempt was made to duplicate the scheme in Hollywood but it failed.
