MELODRAMATIC COMEDY new TYPE IN MOVIES

Farce-comedy still exists on the
stage, but on the screen 1t has been
virtually eclipsed by a new form
termed "melodramatio comedy"
Or at least so says Walter Woods.
whose scenario-writing experience
has been largely confined to photo
plays of a comedy motif.
"Farce-comedy depends largely on
clever lines. the information of the
voice. Because of this your farce
comedy of the stage generally has
but little plot.
Now plot, a story told by situa-
tons. is absolutely essential for mo-
tion pictures. You haven't the voice
to place a laugh, you must do It
with situations that are at one and
the same time dramatic. logical and
funny.

Thomas and Clayton Hamilton play
in which Wallace Reid starred. The
photoplay we have evolved, / be-
lieve, is an excellent type of the new
fashion in film comedy-dramas.
There's action. m%elodrama galore, in
the doings of the secret 'Camorra'
and the search of a blood-thirsty
knife-man for the man he thinks
kissed his wife. And there's fun and
melodrama when Reid finds the
would-be killer to be the butler in his
own home, followed by Reld's scheme
to be put in Jail to avoid being IL
dered, only to find the murderous
Polenta in the same prison! On the
stage a lot of this action was not
used. it's place was taken by voices.
But minus voices we must have plot

Of beauty and health.

Movie Men Supply
Tropical Foliage
on Pacific Island

Tropical foliage being lacking on
any island near enough to the Cali
fornia coast to make it available for
scenery in the new picture starring
Thomas Meighan, THE Man Who
Saw Tomorrow" 1t was found neces-
sary to supply II.
Director Alfred Green chose a tiny
harbor on an island not far from the
coast and the property men furnished
a luxuriant growth of cocoanut
palms. shrubbery and small trees. In
addition, there was erected a ware
house. a bungalow and matched cot
tage.
In order to maintain this scenery
and to facilitate easy handling of
cameras, refectors and other prop
critics a camp was established out OF
range OF the cameras. A dark room
was constructed for the loading and
unloading of film.
Several weeks were devoted to
photographic this portion Of tho
story with a cast included, in addi-
ton to Mr.. Meighan, Leatrice Joy.
