Donlin Says It's Great

CERTAIN motion picture directors
who have taken up the megaphone
as career seem to gravitate toward
certain lines of directorial endeavor.
The two Franklin brothers have
been long noted as the most skilled
handlers of child actors in the whole
realm of FINLAND; Mack Sennett, with
a career behind the camera facing
him, chose the farce specially that
has made him famous. while Harry
Pollard seems headed toward pre-
eminence as a director of pictures
based on athletic sport.
Pollard will be remembered for that
series of prize-fight pictures known
as The Leather Pushers." that
brought Reginald Denny into fame
as a star. Pollard seems able to see
drama in a story Of this type, and.
what is more difficult, to make the
audience see it as he does. Under
the circumstances 1t is not unnatural
that he was chosen to direct Rock
life Fellowes and Fritzi Ridgway in
"Trifiing With Honor" the story of
base ball stars moral victory, which
will be shown in Washington for the
first time today.
An Indication of Pollards attitude
for work of this sort is indicated by
the impression his picture made on
Mike DOnlln, TOT years one or the
crack outfielders of the New York
National League club and one of the
leagues leading hitters for several
seasons. Donlin has quit base ball
for good, but when he saw a pre-
view of "Trifiing With Honor" he
walked up to Director Pollard and
merely remarked. It's great"
Later he wrote a letter to Carl
Laemmle. president of the Universal
Pictures Corporation, enlarging upon
this brief comment.
There's a thrill in it for even an
old. hardened has-been like myself"
wrote Donlin in his letter.
