Movie Directors
 Must Be World Wise

A man who has never lived in New York cannot direct successfully sphotoplay, the scenes of which are laid in the metropolis. A man who has spent his entire life in the city cannot produce an outdoor picture with realistic findelity. A man who has always lived on land cannot de- pict on the screen a story of the sea nor can one who has lived in the temperate zone guide a company of players through a drama the locale of which is the frozen north.
 Carl LaeInmIe, president of Uni versa1, makes it a rule that each di- rector must be thoroughly familiar with the customs and characteristics that figure in the story with which he is entrusted. Thus it happens that Erich Won Stroheirn is given stories that deal with continental Europe. Von Stroheim knows his Paris and Vienna, his Naples and Moscow, his Budapest and Berlin. He has lived there and mingled in European so- ciety. This Knowledge is reflected in ''B1fnd Husbands'' and +@The Devils s Passzey.' - The production of "tLasea" was de- 1ayed for many weeks until the serv- i ices of Norman Dawn could be se- cured. Dawn is a native of Argen- tine, has spent years on the cattle range, has drilled for oil in Mexico, and the story of 'Lasca'' dealt with incidents he himself had experienced. In sending Henry McRae to Japan to film the serial, '"The Dragon $ Net,'' with Marie Walcamp, MT. Laemm1e knew that this director had spent years in the Orient, where he operated theatres and represented American business concerns.
 Rex Ingram, who directed '"The l Beach Coznber,'" with it's storm at sea and general marine atmosphere served in the navy for years and is as much at home in the forecast1e l of a, ship as in the Los Angeles Attn letic Club.
 Burnt Wings with It's Latin guar ter atmosphere, was himself an ar student in Paris and knows the Bo hemian life like a book

From PinafOres
 To Gorgeous Evening Creations

While most of the wardrobe de- mands in Viola Dana's screen pro- duction of H. V. Edsmond's f'Eliza Comes to Stay'' are for gtngham pin- afores and rompers, toward the close of the pictureethe dainty star has the opportunity to wear two stunning cse- ations.
 One is a black velvet evening gown
 with a turkish hem. The tight fit- ting bodice, cut very low in the back, has heavy net bead shoulder straps. The narrow girdIe is of blue and s1l- yer brocade, and a bandeau of the same brocade about the head has
 fluffy ostrich tips at each side. Miss Dana carries a large ostrich fan. The great charm about this gown is it's extreme simplicity.
 In decided contrast is a nasquer- ade costurn of sparkling king blue sequins. The Suggestion" of a bod ice in front is held by a strand of bri11iants about the neck. It has no back. %zhe skirt is a, shimmering hoop affair reaching hardly to the knees,
 and the tight-f1tting knee panties un- i derneath are heavily app1iqued in se- quins. A fluffy, king blue tu11e bow with 1 ostrich tips in the center of it, is sequin bandeau has smaller ostrich 1 tips above each ear. Miss Dana's
 si1ken hose and pumps are of the
 same king blue shade, making the
 tout ensemble most effective.
