Tricks

DOCHUS GLIESE Of Germany is a
= new DE Mile director under a
long term contract
Gliese had directed several UFA
productions. hut 1t was as art director
and technical expert on motion pic
lures that he gained his first laurels,
While with UFA he served as art
director for Lubitsch and Murnau and
acted in this capacity on such notable
German productions as THE Golem"
and THE Cabinet of DR.. Caligari."
He came To America with Murnau
and designed and supervised the con
struction of the massive settings built
here for Sunrise said to be some
of the most unusual and elaborate
ever built by an American studio.
The importance Of the art director
and technical expert is appreciated
more in Europe than in this country,
for in making pictures in Germany
the director. cameraman and art oil
rector work as one unit during the
making Of every picture.
Because Of the unusual technical
knowledge possessed by Gliese, pe
Mile believes that he has secured a
director who will give the American
film industry some startling novelties
. in motion-picture technique.
