HUNTED WOMAN
LIKE INCIDENT
OF CAVE

If James Oliver, Curwood had
not written ''The Hunted Woman
some time ago. people might read
lily believe that the scene in the
mine, where jeanne Gray and
John Aldous are imprisoned by a
landslide of rock and earth was
based on. the recent account of
Floyd Collins entombment in
Sand Cave, KY. The occurrence
of this event in actual life, IN al
most the same manner as Cur
wood had previously related it,
serves to emphasize the visualiz-
ing power possessed by the
author
There Is, however, one difIer-
ence. In Kentucky, Collins sweet
heart was separated from him by
the same obstruction that kept
him captive on the day when they
had planned to be married. Tht
two characters in THE Hunted
Woman" transposed to the screen
by William Fox, are held together
by falling tons of debris. Until
that time no word of love had
been passed between them. Lets
see what happens to them in the
film.
The oxygen in the small cham
her is slowly being used up; hope
is fading as their candle dims;
they are facing the. end. 1t
seems as IL centuries are drag
cling heavily across their eyelids..
The Pickering light lessons and

visible force seems to be tighten

throats. They fall1uneonscious.

Help had come at last. This Is
one Of the biggest moments in the
screen creation. Then follows
their wedding-but the greatest
obstacle enters their lives after
the marriage. That furnishes
the surprise of the story. To tell
IT here would spoil the enjoyment
of those who intend to see 1.-THE
Hunted Woman when 1t plays on

Ambassador Theaters, beginning

There is every reason why
screen artists should be nervous,
if stage fright is accepted as a
natural condition in connection
with stage appearances. The
test goes into the archives; it
is there for all eyes to see at
any. time.
Said the cameraman, Art Nc
Cord, who photographs Colleen
Moore's First National releases:
Taking Miss Moore as "a repre-
sentative example, / would say
that nervousness IS by no means
foreign to the experienced screen
player. In her. case. fastidious-

The jazz wedding scene was
easily the high light OF the
photo-play and here the stage
with its limitations was hope
lessly lost in the competition with
the screen. The union OF Neal
McRae to the Cady millions, with
its riot of dolflar signs and parade
of jazz-mad adolescents was the
best exposition Of the real Kauff-
man Connolly idea unreeled.
The casting director for the
play, who picked Roland Young,
Claiborne Foster, ct ais, for the
various parts used so much bet
ter discretion in the selection Of
types than the executive who 8ul-
filled q similar function for the
picture version, comparison is
wasted. In some important roles
the film ''Beggar" was miscast.
While it might seem like rank
heresy to the man who made 'sThe
Covered Wagon to mention 4
two-year-old. film directing genius
in the same breath, can't help
but think what our own Wash
ington director, l.. Monta Bell,
might have done with the Cru2e
opportunity.
Bell is one of tie younger di-
rectors who is already treading
right on the heels of those on the
top rung of the directorial ladder.
He has an almost uncanny faculty,
of taking the little humanisms Of
every day life and weaving them
into interesting film incidents.
He has a penchant for subtle
ties and little asides-with which
'Beggar" abounds - that make
even a commonplace story worth
while. His talent is evident in
every picture in which he has
been the directing chief, from "A
Woman of Paris to Pretty
Ladies'" I venture he might
have made a less Hanlon brothers
extravaganza of "Beggar" but he
would have registered more satiri-
cal bullseyes. 80
All Of which is by saying that
in the realm of entertainment the
film has its most important place,
but there are some things the
stage can do better. And Beg
gar on Horseback" proves 1t.

concensus of opinion was that it

The. point would make, be-

gent wit of Kaufman Connolly,
the shafts that We're pointed di-

the napier thrusts at efficiency
and standardized employment, the
satirical knockouts aimed at the
idle rich and the blows delivered
at the insolent arrogance or
wealthy ignoranc-these were all
brought out forceful1y and magni-

whereas they are merely inciden-
