Skinner Talks About Films

The spoken drama is not a pic
ture play; nor the picture play a
spoken drama" says Otis Skinner in
the North American Review. The
film can never oust the dramatist's
art; nor can the legitimate drama
ever annihilate the movie. And above
all, the film play can never take the
place of the acted play Be it ever
so perfect, IL is, in it's very last
word. the operation OF a remarkable
machine. Its story is told by pic
lures and titles; its characters are
shadows. 1t might be called a kind
OF vivid and sublimated story book
wherein the obligation of a reader
is imposed upon the spectator. To
follow and understand IL he must
read the titles and explanations.
often he must also read the contents
of documents such as Wills. deeds.
contracts, kilograms, letters. news
paper articles, etc, projected on the
screen for a clear understanding Of
the continuity of the tale. II is well
nigh impossible to present upon the
screen a scene Of argument and
mental conflict between two char
acters. The only thing a director
may do is to place them face TO face
and then cut TO the titles which the
audience must read; and then these
characters should not talk too much
either, for lip movement is bad for
the effect. It is in the art OF sug-
gestion that the director finds his
best medium-an attitude. q look. a
motion, a bit OF pantomime. Some
times glove, gun, an empty chair
will tell stroy better than action" 3"
Commenting on this, a writer in
the Morning Telegraph says:
He describes the painstaking care
which is put into the film by the
author. playwright. artist, actor
and camera man, but says that when
they have done their all. they have
not produced a play. but a photo

BRITISHER DISCOVERS
AMERICAN DIRECTORS
GOOD BUT WASTEFUL

What a Britisher thinks his coun-
trymen must do to sell motion pic
lures in the American market and.
incidentally. what the Britisher
judges public taste and intelligence
here to be are learned from an ar
ticle in the London Times written
from New York by a special cor
respondent who says that his con-
. clusions are based on four months
study of the film industry in the
United States
To illustrate a difference in the
way pictures are made here and In
England, the writer says:
Directors here lin England we
call them producers) have become
artists in every sense. They can
visualize so much better than any
British producer that j know OF.
Only last week i watched direc-
tor while he coaxed star to open
a door correctly and show out an
undesirable visitor. All that the
star had to do was to laugh dis
dainfully as he listened TO the
blackmaIler, then walk to the door,
open IT. and say Get out Less
than twenty feet of film was want
ed, but that scene was rehearsed
nine times and taken six times be-
fore the director was satisfied. Can
you imagine an English producer
being allowed to waste so much
film for a twenty-foot fash?
The present moment is oppor-
tune for the British, and for this
reason: There is something going
ha Arparfoan industry
financially. Those who have made
millions are getting out of the way,
because the public is beginning to
ask what they deem to be too much
of them. There has been serious
overproduction without regard for
the change of public taste. ! know
of one firm that has sixteen five
reel pictures on the shelf awaiting
that change in the public taste.
That means probably a million dol
lars on the shelf earning absolutely
nothing. But the firm must go on
producing, because IL has contracts
with film stars and directors who
must be paid whether or not they
are working. The British should
do better than that. Personally.
and for the reason stated earlier in
this article. would rather make a
long contract with a good director
than with a star. Stars have an
awkward habit of becoming dim
