Guy Bates Post Finds
Film Work Stimulating

There is a dIffidence about Guy Bates
Post. who makes his motion picture
debut In n photoplay version or Tho
Masuuera der" at the Strand to-day. In
expressing his views on picture making.
The novitiate in filmdom sometimes Is
like the foreigner who comes here for a
month and then goes home to write a
four hundred page book about our
idiosvncrasies. Nevertheless, despite his
standing on the speaking stage. where
he Is generally acknowledged as an
actor OF the highest ability. Mr.. Post has
little to say OF his screen activities.
yet that little IL OF peculiar consequence.
Despite the numerous minor differ
ences between playing on the speaking
stage and for the screen" he says.
there II a fundamental sameness In the
two arts Tits fact has come to me
strongly. even In this first film. and be-
cause of Il am sure that stage train
ing Is boon TO the novice In pictures.
Besides the poise. sureness Of touch and
general intellectual equipment that the
stage player requires. tho screen affords
him tho use OF the same fundamental
technical methods. The first rule OF the
speaking stage Is the action before tho
word, and this rule holds doubly good on
the screen.
Regret is sometimes expressed that
the player who has often been noted In
the theater for his speaking voice loses
this asset In the films. The added OPP
portunities for pantomimic expression
more than make up for this loss, how
ever, for pantomime is the fundamental
art OF all thespian expression, and any
extension of that technic means bet
ter work Above all. Aim work is fas-
cinating for the possibility Of seeing
yourself In n critical light. and criticism
IL necessary for improN ement."

Bebe Daniels Shows
How Emotion Is Coined

Whether an actor should feel his
he should retain perfect control of his
own presence and make his acting en-
tirely a matter OF skill, is a question
which will probably never be settled as
long as there are actors to discuss It
The question came UP again not long
ago when David Warfleld visited the
Lasky studio in Hollywood during the
filming OF Nice People," William dc
Miles Paramount picture, which comes
to the Rialto to-day.
warfeld is probably the best known
and most enthusiastic advocate OF the
latter method In this country. The
story is told about him that to prove
his point that he retained perfect con-
troll over himself he took friend back
stage with him and made comical faces
while his back was turned to the
audience. The scene was highly emo
tional and the audience was In tears
but warfield could still act and play
the clown.
During lunch hour at the LaslSy
studio Gloria Swanson and Thomas
Meighan. his host. argued against him
Bebe Daniels favored his method and
said that she always retained control OF
every faculty she possessed--the more
emotional the scene the moro perfect
her control.
To prove II she staged an impromptu
emotional scene then and there--a scene
over the sad fate of dish OF Ice cream
she was eating.
