The time will come, / believe. when
little or no makeup will be used by
motion-picture players" the director
declared recently in an interview.
Hoffman made the war epic The
Unknown Soldier" which will he
shown in Washington this week.
None of the players in this dramatic
picture used bit of makeup.
Makeup merely hides the real per-
sonalities of the players" said MIR.
Hoffman. 1T is like mask becloud-
ing the features and the feelings and
sitting the honesty and realism OF
the individual performances. The
greatest pictures are those in which
the principals appear as their honest
selves. Makeup stints an actors
style; makes his performance appear
stilted and forced. If player is fitted
for the role portrayed on the screen
he will achieve his greatest effect
without the aid of the paint box. I
picked the characters for The Tn.
known Soldier on the strength of
this theory. The results have con-
WINGED me that the greatest histrionic
performances are achieved through
character and personality rather than
by the aid OF rouge or paint"

Continuity Writing Simple.

"A NY one can learn to write con-
tinuity" That is the statement
made by Benjamin Glazer. one of the
screens best known writer's, who dur
ing the past eight months has adapted
and scenarized many stories for the
screen.
Novices aspiring to write for pic.
lures become discouraged, believing
continuity writing is too complicated
Glazer. under contract to Marshall
Neilan, has only been a part of motion
picture making for the past two years,
but has found it a simple matter to
adjust himself to the rudiments OF
screen writing.
OF course, he had the advantage OF
background that few can boast Of
having been connected with the thea
ter and with playwriting in New York
for many years.
Since joining Marshall Neilan, Glazer
has adapted and scenarized wild
Oats Lane" and also Diplomacy" the
Victorienne Sardou drama, now in the
making. He has been loaned by Neilan
to Paramount, Fox and NJ. G.. NJ. for
five other screen plays. bringing his
average up to one a month.
"A continuity appears complicated
and difficult to an outsider" says
GlaZeT. However, once an under.
standing of them is reached, they be-
come merely routine and are easily
written.
The thing that calls for creative
power. however. is in making an
adaptation. for it Is a rare occasion
when a book or play can be handled
in it's identical original form on the
screen.
THE reason for this Is the fact that
the action of the screen il widely diff
ferent, and in changing the tempo it
is necessary to rewrite some of the
scenes. eliminate others and inject
new ones" Glazer concludes.
