OF MOVIETONE
NEWS

Twenty years ago William Fox
had ideas about talking pictures.
1t was then he presented in the
old Dewey Theater on Fourteenth
Street, New York city. what might
be termed his first talking motion
picture. The voices were human,
being those Of stage players who
watched the action of the picture
behind a specially constructed
screen. The play was East
Lynn" and a stock company par
ticipated as the mouthpiece of the
film. This pioneering effort in
the early days OF motion pictures
actually helped MIR. Fox later with
his movietone device.
It was in April, 1927, that Mr..
Fox predicted that there would be
a talking and sound news reel. In
his office one day last week he
told Of the success of that news
reel and said that it would not be
long before he would make it a
daily instead OF a weekly feature.
1t was started in December, 1927,
and this month 1t Ii to be released
in three issues a week; this num-
ber Is to be gradually increased
until there are six editions a week.
No producer in five years viii
think of making anything but talk
ing pictures said Mr.. Fox. 1T
will take five years to permit us
to perfect the sound and screen
devices and to achieve the required
results in recording in q flawless
fashion"

THESE ACTORS
HAVE THEIR
OMENS

Harold Raymond, producer OF
mischief Makers the attrac-
ton at the Strand Theater this
week, sailors have got to go
some il they want to beat the
average actor in his faith IN

| once worked in the same com.
panys with a famous actress
who invariably raped on the
wings before making her first
entrance of the evening. And
she would rather jump off the roof
than peep through the curtain
while the house was filling. The
late Louis James, with whom |
was acquainted, was mortallya
in fear of the number ID; he was
not alone in this belief, for few
actors today will voluntarily sleep
in room bearing this number.
A prominent manager told me
at one time that there were two
things he never permitted to pass
the door first, a cross-eyed man
or a pass. Either one he de-
clared, was sure to bring mis-
fortune and seriously affect the
duration of successful engage
ment.
Colors, also have their signiff-
canoe in the superstition in stage
land. Green is generally consid-
cred lucky; black, il 1t takes the
form of a cat is the luckiest
omen of all. Whistling in the
dressing room is another sign
of bad luck, believed in by many
in the theatrical profession"

FAZENDA GIRL
ON HOW IT'S
DONE
is orfgina1ltY?

What Is originality!
That innocent little question,
which has stumped wise men of
all generations. Is answered by
Louise Fazenda:
Originality is knowing your
stuff and doing 1t in your own
inimitable way"
Miss Fazenda. appearing with
Farrell Macdonald at the Fox
Theater in Riley the Cop" Fox
Films production directed by
John Ford, gives an illustration:
I'm one Of the scenes / am
asked to register joy in one in
stant, while in the next I am ex-
pectcd to put over heartbreak in
ell its pathos.
Now, that Is not easy. Tran.
sltions, to be convincing, call for
correlated action and proper prep.
aration. There was only one
way, the thin line between laugh
ter and tears, the sort of thing
Janet Gaynor does so convincing
" in Street Angel and Seventh
Heaven
I'm those productions, however,

OL-pY SCGHATlStS ana uHCClOEs !
do not mean to throw cold water
on Miss Gaynor's outstanding
work, you understand, but am
pointing to the difference between
the requirements of fast comedy
and those Of the more stately
drama.
comedy calls for quick think
ing. Footage usually is shorter
than that allotted to drama.
Therefore when a director says
Laugh and cry'--and asks you to
do it in manner that will leave
no doubt in the minds of those
who see 1t, your only way out is
to draw on the only thing you
really know-that great fund of
material which is a holdover from
your childhood. In this scene /
had a swift mental cutback and
the resultant action was natural
and, l hope, convincing.
Why are there so few women
doing outstanding comedy roles In
pictures?
Because women refuse to be
ugly, Miss Fazenda believes.

CAPRON TELLS
HOW TO BE
COMIC

To those of us who consider an
accidental slip or tumble as some
thing extremely embarrassing,
not to say humilia.ing, the unself-
consciousness of Robert Capron,
who rejoins the Savoy troupe in
"WiIdflower" at the Belasco The
ater beginning Sunday night Is
little short of amazing.
In many of his scenes Mr..
Capron stumbles. tumbles and is
kicked and pulled about the stage
and except for tousled head and
disarranged costume, he comes off
the stage as cool and unconcerned
as a grand opera tenor.
ITO be really funny, you must
forget yourself" explained the
comedian. When l sing, dance
or do my stuff Bob Capron does
not exist. His place Is taken by
the character in the play--and
since we are never affected by
other peoples comic embarrass-
ments. I can distort my face and
body as much as | please without
hurting my ego one little bit.
"In fact" MIR. Capron con-
tinued,. Il have discovered that
the people who accomplish any
thing in this world always forget
themselves. The great artist, the
writer. the orator. the financial
genius, is the man or woman
who can forget self entirely and
concentrate completely and whole
heartedly upon the task at hand.
1t isn't until you forget yourself,
that you can really be yourself,
paradoxical as it may SEEM"

Jim the Penman' was one OF
the most celebrated plays OF the
Eighties, both on account Of its
record breaking run of more than
q, year at the famous old Madison

Of its Innovations. It was the
first drawing-room play ever writ

sidered to be the lineal ancestor
of all the crook melodramas
which have appeared since It's

The extent of its fame is in
