A handful of persuasive arguments were put to verse by the popular song writer Howard Dietz (1896 - 1983) as to why the up-town theater clique was all wet as to why movies were better than stage productions.

• "The picture theater is always dark

• "The spoken drama's always longer;
The movie hero's always stronger."
