Screen artificiality has had to hide
its head before the blows that Rupert
Hughes has struck for naturalism in
photoplays. Since his association
with the Eminent Authors group of
Goldwyn authors, Mr.. Hughes. has
striven 10 avoid Just what most
screen authors believe to be good
stuff" Instead of writing melodra-
mas. he has given his entire attention
to stories that deal with real people
in a simple, realistic manner.
Unlike many other writers whose
books find their way to the screen,
Mr. Hughes has taken the trouble to
learn something about the mechanics
of photoplay production. He has
spent most of his. time during the last
year at the, Goldwyn studios i'll Gull
yer City, Cal, not only suggesting
and assisting the producing staff, but
also in writing the continuities of his
own stories. Before taking an actual
part in the production of his stories,
Rupert Hughes spent many months
learning just what the photoplay can
and cannot do. With this knowledge,
he has fashioned his tales within the
known limitations Of present-day
screen technique.

the screen could bear no intimate re-

their way to the screen year after

work he decided to show the photo

trials and joys could be made more
