Allan Dwan Film
"A Perfect Crime
j, at the Capitol

Allan Dwan has just finished a
busy day.
Manuscripts lie all about him.
There are huge manuscripts and
immaculate manuscripts. badly
written manuscripts and various
other kinds Of manuscripts.
There are also confidential re-
ports on his desk from q half dozen
readers.
For the first time In several days
We see = smile spread itself across
Allan Dwan's face. It is not Gus
tomary for him to smile, mind you,
but when he is searching for =
story he becomes extremely serious
at times. But when the smile again
beams forth, there is only one in
ference to draw. Allan Dwan has
located the story for his next pho
toplay.
Next the continuity. writer gets
down to bedrock and begins to
weave the events in the tale into
the proper sequence. The produc-
ton manager receives a list of
properties needed and the tech
meal artist gets a tip on the kind
Of sets required. Within another
week the studio begins to hum with
activity, and the mechanical end Of
the big photoplay is already in mo-
ton.
But Allan Dwan does not pick
his players like one would go out
and pick apples or oranges. He
believes in paying adequate sal
aries. Therefore. in picking his
cast, Mr.. Dwan selects those per-
sons who will more typically fit
the characters in the play, plus
ability to interpret these selfsame
characters. He is one director who
is opposed to conspicuous acting.
He wants the dramatic values prop
erly emphasized, and he sees to it
that the humor and pathos and
tragedy and all the rest are given
the right epphasis-but he draws
the line when acting destroys nat
uralness.
Having selected his players, the
actual shooting" or photograph
ing begins.
Then the. scenes are rehearsed
carefully. There is never a click
from the camera until all the char
acters are properly marshaled and
until all the lighting effects have
been arranged.
