DWAN ADOPTS NEW SYSTEM
RESULTS AMAZE EVERYONE

While working on Paramount's
''Tin Gods" which comes to the New
Dover Opera House on December 6
and Z, Director Allan Dwan inaugur-
ated an extraordinary method OF
shooting. Canvas fences, six feet in
weight, were erected around the stu
dio lot. Visitors, on approaching,
were politely informed that no one
was allowed to see Thomas Neigh
an, the star, or Renee Adoree and
Aileen Pringle, the two featured
players.
Why?
Well, one of the "Tin Gods" Sc
ouences takes place in Latin-Amer-
lea cafe. When starting the scene,
Dwan found his players appearing a
bit too New Yorkish" in their
strange costumes. They hadn't found
the spirit of the story.
VIVIAN was at a loss. He wanted
absolute realism and wasn't getting
it. Then came the idea Of the walls
and presto-he had a solution! All
the studios usual noise, hustle and
confusion were automatically shut
out. The players lived in an atmos-
phere they had themselves created.
Anything at all reminiscent of
Times Square was taboo. Those men
and women who had knowledge of
Spanish were asked to avail them
selves of it.
