studied attempt for effectiveness.
On the screen every artificial ges-
ture and facial expression is glar-
ingly noticeable and always ruins
the illusion that the action should
create.
This is much more the case
with pictures than with the stage.
On the stage a certain degree of
artificiality is always accepted and

ways admittedly artificial, and a
small amount of like artificiality
in the action and voice is conse-

the general atmosphere.

must be realistic down to the last
detail. There are real mountains
and rivers and buildings. There
must also be real mea and women

Beside this argument of har-
monious atmosphere, another for
naturalness of action in films Is
the fact that the screen places the
picture performer right out face
