ten years experience on the stage
and what experience l have had on

To this reliance of the stage stars
upon the use of well-known effective
tricks to gain effects Is due. be-

heights on the screen. BY this do
not mean that all stage stars do this.
But | think that those who do sue

demands of the screen and meet
them accordingly.

In short, what the public would

no longer accepted as such, on the

have increased the standard of his

screen has raised the taste of the

become more and more critical of
