w nioue and foreign directors have
upon American made films?
lack Warner, general manager for
Warner Bros, looks to the foreign
director to raise the standard OF quail
inv of American films. He made some
interesting comments In this connec-
ton recently:
lean film company to bring a foreign
director to these shores. Ernst
I,,hitsch. We saw his fine directorial
hand in Passion five years ago, and
instantly signed him up.
His influence on American picture
making needs little comment. From
THE Marriage Circle on, his films
have done more than any one thing
to bring imagination into American
nictures In place of the deadly literal
ness that preceded his arrival. Lub-
itsch has opened the way for a whole
school of young directors, all bring
ing a note of sophistication and deft
suggestion.
but bring American films to a high
or level. The old world has much
to give us, and we, of course. TO
give them. For instance, it must
be remembered that foreign directors
have been compelled to work under
conditions, in their native studios,
where money is far scarcer than here.
AS consequence. these directors have
been compelled to find a good story
and TO make the most Of II with very
little monetary expenditure. The Eu-
ropean director has had to use ingenu-
ity in sets. photography, lighting and
even acting. In other words. he found
it necessary TO use his brain. and the
result is novel and artistic produc.
tions which are meeting with phe-
noiferal success both abroad and in
America.

foreign importations, and l know we
