GERTRUDE EDERLE's first i'm.
preston of motion pictures has
been favorable one.
The first woman to swim the Eng

mind as to whether she will follow the
screen as a career, but she finds the
work very much to her liking.
"At first" she says, II was puz-
zled at what seemed to be a great deal
of delay in actually photographing
the scenes, but now l realize that each

line up the lights and get everything
in readiness. The problem of lighting
is only one of many, particularly when
water Is included in the scene.
1T mystified me to have to go
through the same scene two or three
times, but l soon learned that two or
three takes as they call them, are
quite essential for the director. One
or two might not be good and 1t
would be costly to go back again.

Hollywood in 1924 and scraped along
as best he could.
King Vidor gave him a small part
in THE Big Parade" and he made
the best of that opportunity and got
another chance in 1.-THE Unknown
Soldier Then he played in two
reel comedies. A "bit" came his way
in "Clancy's Kosher Wedding"
Then William LeBaron, vice presi-
dent in charge of production, saw his
work. and Immediately signed De-
Vorska to play the featured role in

DeVorska was in the Russian army
during the World War and obtained q
reprise as he was standing before a

Not Burlesquing Indy

MONTY BANKS, screen comedy
star, has taken decided exception
to a recent newspaper story which
stated that IAN Ace in the Hole" the
Pathe fun feature he is now filming.
Is based on a comedy fight across the
Atlantic.
Not only would comedy bur-
1esqueing Lindberghs superb achieve
ment be in the poorest possible taste,
is Monty's opinion, 'but it would be
extremely foolish from a business
standpoint.
"A new York newspaper columnist
rightly summed up this gallant young
aviator's place in the hearts Of Amer
lea when he called him citizen No. /.
Every man, woman and child who
thrilled to the story Of this hero 8
lone flight across the ocean would
quite rightly resent any attempt to
undignify it.
1.-THE story for my new picture, AN
Ace in the Hole was written by
Charles Koran several months ago.
While it is an aviation comedy, it
deals neither with war nor trans
oceanic flights. We are simply try
ing to capture all the laughs that may
center around an embryo aviator who
is up in the air in many more ways
than one"

Howard, who is said to hold a.
unique position among Hollywood's di-

screen technique that has reached an
advanced stage. According to his be-
lief the strength OF suggestion in the
presentation of picture has an un-

an idea on the screen opens the way
for the person viewing the film to let
his own imagination and experiences
