You never see them on the silver sheet-and yet there are scores of artists around every studio who de- serve equal credit with the acting personal for the success of a modern feature photopiay.
 And, in way, even more credit is due them. For acting, naturally, is much the same as it was at the birth of the industry. On the other hand, the profession of creating back grounds. sets if you care to be technical, has progressed by leaps and bounds. Whsp films began an actor triumphed in spite of his sets-now they tend to inspire, to steep the player so thoroughly in the atmos- phere of his part that, insensibfy, he forgets his own personality and truly becomes the person of the play.

Experl- ence has taught us that the truest realism is gained by an accurate out line which is. quick to be filled in by the imagination of the picture show thing-a nine-tenths of your labor has been accomplished.
