Stage and Movie Technique.

TT seems, after all, that the view is
not unanimous that there is a vast
difference between the technique of
the audible drama and that of the
motion picture. A director who
ought to know recently had some
thing to say concerning that vast
gulf that Is supposed to divide the
two.
Motion pictures are more close
ly allied to the stage than one would
think, says Edmund Goulding. whose
Metro -Goldwyn Maye production,
Sally, Irene and Mary" is now be-
ing shown In Washington.
Goulding, before affiliating himself
with motion pictures, was an actor
on the speaking stage.
Motion picture players have to he
pantomime artists" he continues. "It
is only by enunciating their actions
clearly that their thoughts are con-
veyed to the screen. IL is also neces-
sary for them to use their voices on
the screen, for 1t gives them express
sion and feeling
THE only radical difference lies in
the tempo. Actions must be guided
much more slowly before the camera
than before an audience.
THE reason is the camera work
much more quickly than the eye and
what would appear I'm perfect time
to the latter would transport jumpily
to the former.
THAT isl why many stage players
have not been successful in pictures.
Working at a certain speed has be-
come such q habit with them that
they find it impossible to make a
change. and still retain their natural
ness.
Stage comedians are especially bad
on the screen. Everything they do
before the camera looks hurried and
without subtlety, while their chief
charm on the stage is working
quickly.
$50 with the exception of tempo
the two arts synchronize, really be-
coming one, they are so closely
allied"
