A Little Bit of Truth

leads him into the belief that audi
ences are looking to him for their fun,
when the fact is they are looking
rather to situations as he may con-
trive them, express them or bring
them out.
THE greatest mistake any one can
make in this business is to think that
the burdens are all on his shoulders
or that he is repository for all the wit
and wisdom on the lot"
So thoroughly cognizant is Lloyd of
this situation that he always sur
rounds himself with the best directo.
rial and writing talent he can obtain
in the industry. and frequently he
reaches out and plucks leading pur-
veyor of funny ideas from the musical
comedy, vaudeville or comedy drama
fields.

How Murnau Directs.

"HOW does F. W. Murnau, noted
European director. direct Eng
disappearing actors?"
The answer is quite simple. He di-
rects them in English from a German
script. That is to say, Mr. Murnau's
personal script, written by DR. Carl
Mayer from Herman Sudermann's
German novel. "A Trip to Tilsit," was
written in German. The director.
studying this script, visualizes the
scenes in German, but he translates
the action into perfect English in d.
recting George O'Brien, Janet Gaynor
and Margaret Livingstone, the fea-
tured players in the story.
This Is facilitated by the fact that
DR.. Mayors script. a beautiful accom-
plishment of blank verse. has been
translated into English by Herman
Bing. Mr.. Murnau's assistant director.
English versions of the script We're
supplied to the cast, and. since Mr..
Murnau shoots his pictures exactly ac-
cording to the scenario, ii is g. simple
matter for actors, regardless of their
nationality, to follow his direction.

Explains Foreign Method
THE foreign principle of interpret

ICED by Michael Curtiz in directing
the Warner Bros. production of The
Third Degree"
Make the audience feel the emo

the viewpoint of the spectator Will
be most effective That is the ex-
planation of the extraordinary ehects
which Mr.. Curtiz achieves in tins PIC

Curtiz first interests II in them ana
firmly establishes their characters
ThenCeforth the spectator sees the
various events of this interesting
melodrama almost altogether through
the ewes of the various characters.
Rarely Is he in the position of a dis
interested observer.
This means that the camera must
take the place of person ana record
the scenes, not just as lifeleSs me-
chanical camera, but as a living per-
sonality. For the moment the spec
tator projects himself into the char
acter through whose eyes he is view
ing the scene and feels the thrills and
emotions that that character feels
Sometimes he is at greater adVan-
tage as a spectator, as, for instance
during some phases of fist fight. 1t
is much more thrilling to see one
fighter standing eXpectantly waiting
for the other to rise than to be in
his position watching the dazed man
on the floor. or TO see the opponent
with the dazhd mans chaotic vision.
How these subjective and objective
viewpoints will he balanced to make
q good picture is, of course. up to the
directors artistic taste. The ability
to select the correct viewpoint is the
test of great director.
