Early Film Dramas POrtraying
Physical Action Only Not

By DONALD H.. A

those who deny the advance Of the
motion picture art speak without
| knowledge said Maurice Tourneur
the other day during 4 chat about his
approaching trip to England to film
1.-THE Christian" for 0old6yn. II
have just looked at one of the two
| earlier screen versions of this great
novel of Sir Hall Gaines. At the
time of its release it was rightly con-
sidered a fine production. But It it
should be shown in q theater today it
would excite laughter and it's serious
intent would be utterly lost. This
version was produced in 1912. Thus,
in a period of 10 years motion pic
ture technique has been revolutionized
for the better. And any art which can
make such rapid strides as this GER
tainly has in it the breath of life and
a sure hold upon the imagination OF
the people,"
MIR. Tourneur had prefaced this
statement by explaining that the OBJ
Ject in taking q company to England
to make the production was two-fold
first, to photograph the scenes in
their natural settings. the Isle of Man,
London and Epson Downs. and. second,
to have the advantage of consultation
with the author.
This increasing trend towards
making motion pictures in the actual
settings of the original story. and in
author, which is so admirably typified
in the case of THE Christian" was
not, however, the only reason for Mr..
Tourneur's assertion of the amazing
progress of the art.
He nOintcd ouf that tho ccronu ic
the ideal medium by which to show
the drama of the mind-the mental
action of characters. Leaders among
directors have been working in this
field now for some time. How much
progress has been made may best be
realized by recalling the crude. purely
physical action p%hotodramas of a few
years back with the average good
program productions of today. A
slight gesture. a fleeing expression
may convey on the silver sheet the
turmoil of a soul. Paul Bern, head of
the Goldwyn scenario department, who
was among the pioneers in advancing
the theory of psychological motion
pictures. has gone so far as to assert
his belief that the great future of the
art lies along that line-the portrayal
through photography of the workings
of the human mind and conscience.
AS everyone who has read "The
Christian knows, it %propounds a DIFF
ficult psychological problem. For the
benefit of those who hare o read
or do not recall the novel, here is
the authors brief statement of the
theme:
"The motive is that of a young
clergyman, who, conceiving the idea
that it is possible to take the teach
ing of Christ literally and to live His
life in the twentieth century as He
lived it in the first century. is utterly
broken to pieces from within and from
without. by his love of a woman and
by the hard facts of life"
IT may be said with little fear of
contradiction that it is only very re-
Gently that a producing company or a
director would be bending every eff
fort to achieve ways and means of
putting over this mental problem.

motion picture art were required this

Anne looked loose enough in the

think it impolite to have the fact men-

morals of the community were jeop-

Here was a picture in which a
