an artist to get emotions across more

Mr.. Sutherla nd has tried out two of
his theories in his second directoriai
effort for Paramount. That Wild.

chauffeur follows Miss Daniels rapid

La Rocque grabs her by the arm and
then calls policeman. The policema n
seiZes La ROGUE and begins pushing
him along the walk toward q patrol
box. Miss Daniels interferes, they
stop again and then continue walking.
Ordinarily camera would have been
set up and separate scene made each
time the players stopped. Mr.. Suther-
land had his camera mounted on a
low platform on wheels. equipped with
soft automobile tires. so there could
be no jarring. Three men pushed IT
along behind the players as they walk
ed, stopping when they stopped and
backing up when the players walked
toward them. The whole sequence
was done without interruption. The
results were surprising.
Having tried this successfully In
natural sunlight the director decided
TO experiment with the same continu.
Gus action in the studio. The problem
was more difficult.
A platform followed Miss Daniels
and Mr.. La Rocque about the set AT
high speed. AsN they ascendod the
stairs when the scenes on the floor

Film so sensitive that the need for
lighting will be greatly reduced is
one OF the crying needs In the de.
velopment of motion pictures, accord
ing to Edward Sutherland one Of the
younger directors.
ELIMINATION Of part of the present
complicated lighting system, Mr..
Sutherland predicts, will make II DOS
sible 10 pass from one scene TO an
other with greater smoothness viii
permit movement of the camera from
one angle TO another in such a way
that an audience Will feel the develop
ment of the story is continuous. rather
than scene by scene.
The present state of the develop.
ment of film makes it necessary for a
director to flood a set with light, and
then intensity If from various angles
with spotlights. broadSides and sun
arcs. If any important movement of
players takes place in a scene il is
necessary to stop the scene, re.
arrange most OF the lights, set up the
camera In new place and start
again This slows the dramatic ac.
ton at times and is expensive.
Many directors accept this as one
OF the necessities of picture making.
But Mr.. Sutherland thinks IL is q
great field for experiment.
We have gone far in the develop
ment of acting" he points out. I'm
fact. | can think of many scenes that
are masterpieces of emotion portrayal.
Lighting also has developed. Costum-
ing, research. set building-all
branches Of the art have progressed.
Now. I think. the development is
going to take three new 1ines-the i'm
provement of the film itself. the i'm
provement of color processes and the
introduction of some kind Of a
stereoscopic arrangement that will
make the players stand out from their
background and separate objects from
their surroundings as the human eve
does.
