Who Says The Camera Never Lies?

Despite the fact that they were all suffering from an acute case of chronic olor-blindness, motion pie ture cameras not only were recruited into the A. E. F., but acquitted them selves honorably on every front in the World War. The insensitiveness of photographic negative to many colors necessitates resorting to many substitutions for the sake of real ism

 The same problem in photograph ing colors arose recently at Universal City when the subtitles were being prepared for a recent Eddie Polo serial, t'Do or Die"
 A telegram supposed to have been received in England, was to be thrown on the screen, and the Title depart ment was searching for the proper kind of blank on which to typewrite the message. All the English tele- graphic blanks available had blue headings As blue photographs white, blanks of that color would not look genuine in a film.

WHILE LONDON FIGHTS FOG
 IASKY STUDIO MAKES IT

The chief foe of motion picture production in England is the fog that beclouds the atmosphere and pre- vents clear photography To guard against this a system of cold water pipes has been installed in the Para mount studio in the Is1ington section of London which is proving effective.
 Atmospheric conditions in New York were so unlike London that when a London atmosphere was needed recently Arthur Miller. the camera man who is photographing "Peber Ibbetson'' in the Paramount Eastern studio, went to much effort to get the fog they are fighting in London.
 Before shooting scenes of the New gate Jail courtyard Miller directed the property men to light several smoke torches, which were waved about until clouds of pale blue smoke hung over the set in front of the camera. Previously the stones of the courtyard and jail set had been daub- ed with particles of tar. which took on the appearance of g1istening mois- ture under the lights. Shooting through this smoke screen Miller ob- tained perfect fog effect, and, incl dentally, one of the most beautiful effects in this exceptional picture.

The recovery of King Baggot, whose critical condition resulted from concussion received in a double res cue recently, will permit further pro gresS on his forthcoming feature, 1.-The Butterfly. MT. Baggot owes his life to the swimming prowess and physical strength of Miss Marie Pre- vost, Universal star, whom he has been directing in a screen version of Perciva1 Wilde's novel. His assis- tant, Nat Ross, also can thank Miss Provost for rescuing him from what have been a tragic end.
 Miss Provost was in the swimming pool of the Coffin estate at Pasadena, Cal, performing some aquatic feats for the camera. Ross, leaning over the edge of the pool, fell in and struck his head on the bottom. Inn mediate1y Baggot plunged in after him. But his head struck the side of the concrete pool as he came up and started toward Ross, who was feeb1y struggling toward the edge. Baggot again slumped under, uncon- scious from the impact.
 With swift strokes, Miss Provost swam to Baggot, forced him above lhe water and held him up until oth- CTS pulled him over the edge. She then devoted her energies to rescu- ing Ross, whom she pulled to one side of the pool where he was taken ou. of the water safely, though ex- haus ed.
 The days program ended there.

 While the manager was making his "spieP' preparatory to opening the coffin, one of the policemen found a series of air apertures in the side of Browning's coffin. Further investi- gation revealed a box containing matted milk tablets, Tod's diet dur ing the performance, concealed in the coffin.

Perhaps few movie fans have mo- dced that almost all telegrams re- ceived in photoplays are sent Western Union. This company has a mono heading while those of the Postal Telegraph company are printed in blue.
 Many persons have asked me why motion picture actors put on so much makeup" Eason continued, in dis cussing the way the camera sees col ors- Under the hard white lights used in the studios, if the players were not made up properly, their hands and faces would appear dark. If they did not use plenty of make up, Southern movie patrons would draw, in all probability, the color line as our stars would look like negroes" ,"
 The idiosyncracies of the photo graphic lens also make it difficult to have a suit of clothes look shabby. The hero may have slept in his clothes the night before, but if he is wearing dark suit, it will not appear wrtnkled may be baggw at the knees, but the fact is barely noticeable on the screen. A light suit may look a lit tie worse for wear in a. film, but it takes closeup to reveal that dark colored remnant needs pressing
 For the same reason, declares Eason, a sh1lful scene painter can paint a door that looks more natural on the screen than a real door would. Experience teaches him how the lights and shadows will be picked up by the camera
 These are only a. few instances of why substitutes sometimes look more real on the screen than the genuine articles. And with the increasing de- mand for realism in pictures and the familiarity of most of the public with the tricks of the stage and studio. the successful director has to be con stant1y on the alert to escape the caustic criticism that errors in details always bring.
