Herman Hagedorn, secretary of the
Roosevelt Memorial Association.
In the search to discover what has
become of the Rough Riders, looking
toward a possible convention at an
early date of the romantic adven-
turers Of 1898. 1t was discovered that
approximately twoscore of them are
residing in Los Angeles.

in the Rough Riders, is the weather

THE craze for comedy continues on
the screen: instead of waning, as
many professional predicters prophe-
sled, it is actually increasing to amaz-
ing proportions.
I have studied carefully the various
announcements of pictures that are to
| come, and it appears that the gag
crop is to be bumper one this sea-
son. Possibly ten out of every hun
dred productions on schedule are of
deliberately serious nature, and
even these will be filled. to the great
est possible extent, with attempts at
humor.
Examine, for example, the an
nounced plans of Famous Players
Lasky-a corporation that manages
to keep its finger glued to the public
pulse and knows, as well as any one
can possibly know, just what 1t Is
that the public wants.
Famous Players has 80 Paramount
pictures on schedule. OF these, two
will feature Dorothy Gish. two Bebe
Daniels, two Wallace Beery. one
Harold Lloyd. one Eddie Cantor. one
Ed Wynn, one Raymond Griffith.

various directors, such as Malcolm

With the exception Of THE Sor-
picture), Hotel Imperial" Che Pola

all the Paramount offerings from now

funny is something else again.

Scenic Effects in Faust y

CONsUMMATE craftsmanship in
scenic and lighting effects are said
to be revealed in UFA'S production Of
Goethe's Faust" which in screen
form comes to Washington this after
noon as a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer re-
lease.
F. w. Murnau, the director Of "The
Last Laugh" is the man who is cred.
tied with vitalizing Faust" and his
work is said to have been wonderfully
aided by two architects, Herlth and
Rohrig, who have contributed a Sc.
ries Of settings and lighting effects
that are said to be remarkable both
from the standpoint of illusion and Of
art.
The medieval gloom of the Middle
Ages, which forms the background
for the earlier scenes of Faust" has
been superbly reflected in a brown.
Rembrandt style. Over a year Of re-
search was necessary as a prelude to
the actual work Of building the effects.
A breath of Spring Is exquisitely
introduced in the Easter scenes when
Faust meets Marguerite. but perhaps
the most startling scenes of all are
the storm sequence at the opening Of
the story and the subsequent scene
in which Faust and the evil one are
portrayed in flight through space on
the latter's cloak while the earth rolls
by beneath them.

Sour Grapes?

"THE American screen director
tries to be dramatist first and
a screen technician afterward; the
first, last and all the time, and his
dramatic effects are incidental to his
worship Of technique"
So thinks Edward Sedgwick, the
Metro Goldwyn-M Mayer director Of
Tin Hats" the post-armistice COM
edy; . ,,., .,
Mr.. Sedgwick, never for moment
permits his audience to lose conscious.
ness Of the camera. He Is necessarily
striving for weird camera effects, for
grotesque angle views. trick shots
and the like. He is intensely enam.
ored of what a writer would call
STYLE rather than subject matter,
and an audience never for moment
can forget that 1t is looking at some
thing q camera recorded, not at some.
thing that actually happened.
II don't believe that I ever read a
criticism of major foreign screen
effort, or heard one informally dis
cussed, that the manner Of it's fllm-
ing did not take precedence in the
mind Of the beholder over the dra-
matte thesis involved.
THAT is precisely opposite to the
method employed on this side of the
ocean. We are constantly striving to
conceal the camera, to plead igno-
rance Of it's whereabouts. We are
always striving to create the illu-
sion that the spectator himself, and
not the camera, is looking at an cpl
sode in real life For this reason we
constantly avoid placing our cameras
in positions where the audience would
never find itself were it on the actual
scene.
"As a matter of fact. we have to
work harder for our effects In Amer
lea than the Germans do. for we are
not only trying to create an illusion
but we are trying to heighten the
illusion without resort to trickery
that will Immediately stamp a scene
as trick one, a fancy shot a di.
