SEASTROM SCREENS
MOST SILENT WORKER

Victor Seastrom, the noted Scan
dinavian director now engaged in
filming Lillian Gish's new starring
vehicle, "The Scarlet Letter" has an
odd distinction. He is the most 81
lent director of the screen.
Screen direction, it is popularity
supposed. involves elaborate expla-
nations of scenes, frantic instruc-
tions, and an avalanche of words.
Seastrom, however, directs with
very few words, and never raises his
voice.
He explains every scene in few
concise words, and as it is rehearsed
makes corrections with a word here
and there, or a gesture. So unlike
the average American director is
the famous European that his direc-
ton at first puzzles the actors. After

CRAMERTON, N. c., (FP) Nov.
28.-All over Carolina apologists for
the mill owners implore the skeptic
to take look at Cramerton, model
mill village of the south.
Stuart Cramer, a devout Christian
who regards his mill as second only
to his two churches in aiding god
illness, is the sole owner and pro-
prietor of everything in the village
except the bodies of his workers.
= And because Cramerton is an I'M
incorporated village, d e pite its
population of 5000, he practically
owns his workers through his undis-
puted right to eject all undesirable
from mills and homes.
:" Free Flowers, But Don't Dance!
Cramerton is pretty village, nest
ling along the banks of the Catawba.
Cramer distributes free flower seed,
so that workers can relieve the
monotony of their brown painted cot
tages.

The conditions under which the en-

Do the workers like Cramer's
brand of paternalism? Not if labor
turnover is any indication. For mill
workers keep moving in and out Of
Cramerton as fast as they do in other
mill towns. In fact Cramer makes a
virtue out of apparent necessity when
he defends the high moving rate. Cot
ton mill workers tend to become dead
on the job if they stay too long, he
explains. A move every once in a
while relieves the monotony.
