Commercial advantages resulting from

Offices. cutting his picture. He took
more than 100000 feet of film. and he
has to select 10000 feet from all that
for the final showing.
"What is going 20 smash you in the

Mr.. 3renon, els my beautiful natural
setting That is what motion pict-
ure depends on. The art Of the film
is entirely divorced from tho stage.
Its relation TO painting and sculpture
is, in fact. much closer. Ny rule is
TO keep out Of the studio. II | have

OF the picture never will be suspected
Of iLsiVcerity.
But Brenon's greatest speciality is
not the battle or the confagration.
These are incidents. His hobby is the
water. and all his best scenes are wa
ter effects. Perhaps that is why he
considers Annette Kellermann the
greatest actress in the world. She is,
fer his purpose. He is proud Of the
fact that he couldn't stump her. In
a rafing storm he dared her 10 swim
