''Comedy Constructors

SWHEN the first gag man on the
first comedy lot conceived the
brilliant idea Of using an actors face
Howard Dietz of Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer, "he little knew his thought
was an amoeba which started the
evolution of the gag in motion pic
lures.
"A gag, to define the term which
is used in motion pictures for every
thing from a tear jerking bit Of no.
KUN to a complicated mechanical de-
vice designed to knock 'em off their
seats" with laughter, is an extraneous
piece of business inserted in a movie
for the purpose of producing a def
mite reaction.
This may sound like a lofty -browed
way of explaining something as ele-
mentary as a custard pie, yet the gag
has progressed in recent years far
beyond its original simplicity. Its
raffishness has become refined, its
>crudities are now subtleties. its clum-
siness is cleverness of the most So
phisticated type.
"As gags have been elevated, so
too have gag men risen from humble
ness TO haughtiness, to say nothing
of affiuence. Where once they held
forth on comedy lots, where pic
ture was built around one good gag,
started at 8 am. and completed by
pm. of the same day, now no large
producing organization, such as Metro
Goldwyn- Mayer. for instance, is COM
plete without one.
Except that they have a more dig
nifed title now. They are called

Mary Gardner" Scraps"

COME years ago when the motion
picture industry was ir swaddling
clothes and the "Biograph Girl" was
fast becoming famous i'm store"
shows and the early picture houses, a.
young New York newspaper man saw
an advertisement offering $50 for mo-
evening writing one, sold it the next
newspaper man was lost to the pro-
fession forever.
That young man was c.. Gardner
Sullivan, probably the most famous
scenario writer and editor in the
world, who has given thousands of
stories to the screen. He never. went
back to newspaper work after getting
that first magic $50 for one nights
work.
In the meantime, the nameless
"Biograph Girl has become famous
all over the world. She is Mary Pick
ford, of course.
Both Miss Pickford and Sullivan
found fame and fortune in the movies,
yet they never happened to meet until
this Summer, when Miss Pickford sent
for Sullivan and commissioned him to
help make the screen adaptation of
Winifred Dunn's story, Scraps"
which she will produce next.
Il believe" says Mr.. Sullivan, "she
has in Scraps one Of her greatest
vehicles, one with the atmosphere of
Dickens and the opportunity for
quaint humor and touching pathos
that only Miss Pickford can give to
the screen"

comedy constructors. That Is the
proud title borne by Lew Upton, who
in1ects the adrenalin of humor into
etro-Goldwyn-M Mayer pictures. To
Lew's deft touch is due many OF the
giggles you have enjoyed while wit
Messing M-GM productions.
Gags have kept pace with the
developments in other lines Of mo
ton pictures" Lew declares. THE
highest type of gags now evolve nat
urally from the action so as to seem
part of the story instead of being
lugged in by the heels. We are de
pending more on facial expressions
and amusing situations than on me
chanical means, and it is not unusual
now for q gag to be planted in the
first reel, developed in the second
and topped in the third. 1t is built
up as carefully as though it were q
plot complication, and the dramatic
yerities are preserved in its climax
and denouement.
Yet II cannot seem studied, be
cause laughter must be spontaneous.
and while gag is not part of a
plot or theme. it must evolve as
though ii were"
The growing importance of "com-
edy constructors" with film producing
companies who make only feature
length dramatic productions is due
10 men like Henry Rapf, box Office
specialists, who realize that the tinkle
of laughter echoes in the tiukle Of
shekels at the theater cashiers win
dow. Also because it is agreed thai
comedy relief heightens drama just
as it heightens pathos, by contrast.

Novelty In the Theater

FROM the observation point of a
"ringside seat" in the Earl Car
roll Theater, New York, spectator
gets the impression of a complete
metamorphosis. He may for a pass
ing moment wonder whether he really
IS in a theater. or whether by some
sudden and unknown shuttle he has
been dropped into a maze composed of
a Broadway night club, the Folies Ber-
gere. Paris, and the dance carnival
at-Monte Carlo.
II is the consensus of opinion in
New York that the young producer
actually has provided IAN utterly
unique and different form of amuse-
ment," as he has advertised.
Three outstanding innovations have
changed the whole atmosphere of his
theater--its interior decorations, the
arrangement Of the musicians and the
extension of foreStage and steps out
from the apron" of the stage to a
point formerly identified as the
fourth row on the aisle"
The decorative scheme, by Willy
Pogany, consists of lingette draperies
over the walls and ceilings, and hand
painted satine lanterns placed where
the ordinary incandescents formerly
shown. These huge lanterns, in ori-
entail and Egyptian designs, spread a
soft and diffused glow over the audi
ence.
A canopy of murals reaching out
from the roof of the proscenium arch
over the torestage and steps gives the
effect of a huge tent, and the lines and
color schemes by Pogany are de-
clared masterpieces of the interior
decorators art.
Mr.. Carroll has removed his musi-
clans from the orchestra pit and en-
Evening star., 1925-08-09

gagged a jazz band, and from tower
Ing platforms that seem to reach from
the left side of the stage to the very
ceiling music of the approved jazz
style bursts forth to delight members
of the audience who go up and dance
on the forestage, and again accom-
pany the various musical numbers of
the performance back OF the curtain
line. These musicians play for awhile
on the great platforms, then on the
stage in a saXophone tower, and again
on what Is called the "orchestraiift,' -
a rising and lowering forestage, quiet
ly manipulated, yet startling in its
effect.
1t is in the bridging of the space be-
tween the audience and the actors that
Mr.. Carroll perhaps has achieved his
most striking novelty. The apron"
and pit" of the theater have been
transformed into graduated steps from
the stage proper down to the floor of
the theater and reaching out to a row
of tables fronting the "orchestralift. "
BY this means the players and the
patrons are brought into the closest
association. In the space formerly oc-
cupied by four rows of orchestra seats
Mr.. Carroll has placed dozen typical
cafe tables, each covered by a snowy
white tablecloth and decorated by a
table lamp. At these tables. naively
called "ringSide seats" a dozen or
more walters, white aproned and
capped, serve things.
1t is doubtful that Mr.. Carroll will
be able to carry out his novel inno-
walton when the current "Vanities'
takes to the road, but he may succeed
in giving to our principal cities the
same night club atmosphere as that
established in his own theater in New
York

NATIONAL-"Kiki."

Lenore Ulric's glittering stage hit,
'kiki," which ran for two seasons in
New York and is still doing prosper
Gus road tours with several companies,
will usher In the week of August 16
at the National Theater. The pres
entation of "kiki' will mark an alb
solute departure by the National
Players from the field of farce and
comedy into one Of dramatic charac-
terization.
Leneta Lane will essay the role OF
Xxi, the little Partisan petrol trans
planted from the streets of Paris TO
the stage and thence to a home whose
atmosphere she tears into Cyclonic
shreds. SO well known has the story
of the play become by virtue of its
several years existence that no
sketch of it is needed here.
The figure of Killi is one by itself
in. stage characterization. She is a
distillate of a dozen characters, a
street urchin and a prima donna in
one: something of a saint and very
much of the devil, also. Her gaudy
and ridiculous clothes, her serene i'm
pudence TO everything and everybody
and her tigress-like defense of the
few puny virtues she possesses are
welded into one striking personality
that the stage will never forget.

Indians on Warpath.

4 GRIM host of $500 Navahos
stripped bare with the exception
of tight skin caps, breech cloths and
moccasins, their lean bodies blackened
with the charcoal from lightning
struck trees, charged across the hot
floor of the Painted Desert on lean
Navajo ponies. Shrill blood-chilling
cries escaped the thin lips of the
eCant attention to their saddleless
horses and occupying themselves
wholly with their tough hide shields,
long spears and bows and arrows.
Forgotten was the fact that the
Navahos gave up war forever nearly
90 years ago; forgotten the fact that
they were reproducing a battle against
the whites in order that motion pic
ture cameras might capture the scene
TO be used in Zane Grey's epic of the
American Indian, The Vanishing
American"
For weeks the dim fires in the no.
Sans had cast their shadowy, flicker
ing light on councils that lasted far
into the night. The great battle scene
of which they had been asked to be a
part formed material for long hours
Of nightly converse ton. Some of

hut this was to be fighting, and their
forefathers had signed a peace treaty

The laundering Herd North of

There is a great deal in common be-

was a great commotion among the no.
gans, and when the day of the great
battle arrived all was in readiness.
AS in the days of old, they blacken-
ed their bodies with charcoal from
trees struck by lightning, the lower
lids OF their eyes painted white to rep
resent the dawn, and the upper lids
yellow to represent the sunset. Light
nfng-struck trees were the sources of
the charcoal, because lightning is their
symbol for war. The battle scenes
lasted for days and the Indians camp
ed near the scene of action, many of
them living there for days previous.
Lack of sleeping accommodations did
not bother them. Many were made
guests of friends and relatives who re-
sided permanently in the community,
others slept under the Arizona sky.
Directing the scenes was not diff
cult, and no urging was required to
make the Navahos put punch into
their work. Director Seitz explained his
wants to Mrs. Louisa Wetherill, who
has lived 20 years among the Navahos
as their counselor and friend, and who
is recognized nationally as an expert
on the history and customs of this
tribe. Mrs. Wetherill. in turn, rode
among the Indians, telling the leaders
what was required of them.
No rehearsals were needed The
red men trotted to their starting place
and at a signal from Mrs. Wetherill
opened their charge. Like madmen
the ghostly figures shot across the
plain. AS they reached their closest
approach to the battery of motion pic
ture cameras they were met and en-
gagged in battle by an equal number of
warriors representing an enemy ma
ton of red men. Spears and arrows,
their points blunted to prevent injury,
flashed through the sunshine.
After the battle sequence had been
completed a huge barbecue and field
meet were staged, with the red war
riors as the honored guests, and good
will prevailed on all sides.
