Realism, vs.. Comfort.

THERE is a vast difference In the
actual execution Of a portrayal
or a scene before the camera and be-
hind the footlights. The stage has
always. perforce, relied upon the now
er Of suggestion and verbally implied
action. The screen, on the contrary,
calls upon the player to perform be-
fore the camera those feats concern
ing which the articulate player mere.
ly recites lines.
No one has been moro insistent for
realism than Richard Barthelmess. In
"ToPable David" he went into the
country described by. Joseph Herge-
sheimer for the locale OF his picture.
In Tho Seventh Day" he went to
New England for New England

Something About Hassard Short

and "Peg o My Heart He made his
last stage appearance in East is West"
He had been in several plays by Clyde
Fitch, and when Mr.. Fitch was unable
to be present at all Of the rehearsals Of
"The Toast of the Town he intrusted
the directing and staging Of the last
two acts to Mr.. Short, predicting at the
time that Mr.. Short would eventually
forsake the field of acting for directing.
This prophecy was fulfilled when Has
sard Short was selected to stage the
Zimbalist operatta, "Honeydew," which
contained several "revue" features.
Mr.. Short has staged every pageant

citation and all the big girl acts for
