When Shooting Really
BEGINS.

THE oft-read announcement that

on such and such a motion picture
doesn't mean much in these days of
Systematized film methods.
For instance, John Francis Dillon, di-
rector and Jack Mulhall and Dorothy
Mackaill, featured players in Children
OF the Ritz" we're working a whole week
on the picture with cameras turning, on
sets and in costumes, but without ac-
tually Shooting a scene!
Moreover, not one member of the
supporting cast was definitely selected
during this period. Then the support
ing players were selected by the film
and voice test method Proper costumes
were determined upon and made ready
for fitting. All "sets" were completed
and perfected down to the very last
item.
Then all properties and equipment
needed for the making of the picture.
insofar as human foresight can foretell
their need, were ready and passed upon.
Finally, all general rehearsals, conduct
ed not so much for the purpose of ia
miliarizing players with their roles as
to enable ScenariSts to brush up"
scenes and dialogue, were completed
satisfactorily.
Dillon and his production staff, Null
hall and Miss Mackaill and the sup
porting players were at that time ready
for shooting"

he aims at nothing less than topping
such recent hits of his own as Rio
Rita" "Rosalie," 1.-The Three Muske-
teers" and SHOW Boat" Cantor has
a congenial role. crowded with comedy,
which even gives him a scene or two
in his ever agreeable black face. The
author is William Anthony MCGUIRE,
the composer Walter Donaldson and
the lyric writer Gus Kahn, who has
delivered hit song numbers through
out. The story is laid in the Indian
and cowboy country. When "Whoopee"
opens at the National it will have cost
$25O,O0O.
Cantor has no less than five famous
leading women, headed by Ethel Shut
ia. who is featured; Frances Upton,
Ruth Etting, Tamara Geva and Bere-
nice Manners. Miss Shutta was fea-
tured in Louis XIV by Mr.. Ziegfeld.
Miss Upton was prominent in the last

Geva was the dance star of the last
edition of Balaieff'S "Chauve SouriS."

One of the most important features
will be the personal appearance of

AS always with a Ziegfeld production
the rosebud garden Of glorifled girls is
one of the chief attractions. There are
also 40 specially trained dancers and
ziegfeldian surprises of the breath-tak-

and painted all the settings and John
Harkrider designed the gorgeous cos
tunes.

Moving Camera in Sound
Films.

FURTHER proof of the f1exibility Of
l. Vitaphone is seen in the new in
vention just perfected by Bryan Foy,
Vitaphone director and supervisor, and
Edward Du Par, Vitaphone cinema
tographer.
For the first time a travelling
camera shot is now possible in talking
pictures, and several of them are said
to add to the effectiveness of George
M. Cohan's 1.-THE Home Towners," now
at the Metropolitan.
Up to now 1t has been impossible to
move the camera during the actual
shooting of a sound sequence, but
through the efforts of these two experts
this limitation is now removed.
The moving shot is invaluable for
conveying certain types of action with
bpevity and force, and 1t is considered
an important step in the development
of sound pictures that its use need no
longer be barred.

AN director, was making film in Hon
olulu last Winter. Aileen Dee, a society
girl from Toronto, was out there also,
but for a Winter holiday
The days were busy. but at night the
director sometimes would go dancing to
the whine of Hawaiian guitars on the
cool hotel verandas, or walk In the
moonlight along the white beach. He
met Miss Dee, and they became play
mates there in the evenings after work.
They became engaged in California

married in New York, but had only a
brief honeymoon, for F1orey was due
back again at the Paramount studio in

The Russian Venus. g

TAMARA GEVA, the Russian dancer
who was starred in the "Chauve
SouriS" last season, is an important
feature of 'Whoopee." the new Zieg.
field production starring Eddie Cantor.
Miss Geva's role has been especially
written to present her as "the Russian
Venus" in face and figure and as a
great artistic who sprang from the
Revolution and embodies the vital spirit
of the new Russia.
Tamara GeVa looks like Greta Carlo
plus an inch or two in stature. She
has twinkling eye and great vivac-
ity of manner. Her personality Is said
to light up room or an Office or
theater. Maestro Balieff regards her e.
one Of his greatest discoveries.

tional feature for Richard Barthelmess,
based on story originally written by
Courtney Ryley Cooper and adapted to
the screen by Bradley King, concerns a
singing convict and how he wins love
and happiness by singing over the radio.
1t is not, strictly speaking, an under
world drama, but rather a character

for the first time, will be both seen and
heard, singing as well as playing.

WILLIAM POWELL, long rated as
w one of the fine character actors
of the silent screen, has signed a new
contract with Paramount as a reward
for his performance In the company's
first all-talking picture, Interference. :"
A fine Broadway actor before he en-
tered film work, Powell appears to even
greater advantage in talking pictures
than he did previously. Since COM
pleting work in Interference" he has
created the film role of Philo Vance,
society detective in THE Canary Muir

Show girls of the Ziegfeld type
have become recognized as per-
SonageS of especial distinction de-
serving of publicity in all their
doings whether they relate to
marriage, divorce or driving an
automobile without a permit. They
are even accorded the distinction
of participating seriously in the
speaking drama which melodra-
matically glorif1es Mary Dugan.
AS a rule professional enter
tainerS suspect that the hardest
part of an act is taking an encore.
Bayard Veiller has accomplished
this feat in his Mary Dugan play
and makes it worthy successor
to his triumph of seasons agone
Within the Law" In compost
tion Mr.. WELLER is not a rapid
worker. Years may elapSe before
something new is turned out of
his workshop. He treats a play
as a practical mechanism, and
when he sets it up in running
order it is well oiled, highly
polished and we'll tested as to the
utilization of power. His favorite
theme is the woman prosecuted
by society and the heartleSSness
with which the processes of law
may be employed.
The novelty of keeping the
curtain up during the entire per-
formance is something to talk
about, although it probably con-
tributes little to the success of
the Mary Dugan play. 1t would
be good play even if done in the
ordinary manner, with curtain
dropped to separate the incidents.
Playing melodrama is not the
comparatively easy task it was
when it employed signals to ac-
quaint auditors with the exact
moments when they were ex-
pected to shudder or applaud. The
dropping of the curtain was one
of these signals, which denoted
climax. Even that signal is dis
pensed with along with the shiv-
very music denoting the approach
of the Stealthy villain or the
chord in G which accompanied
the arrival of the hero with the
announcement, "Miscreant, have
you in my power" Perhaps one
, reason for the scarcity of plays
is the wisdom at which audiences
have arrived; a wisdom which
takes them far beyond the reach
of various reliable little devices
which could formerly be depended
upon to spur a tagging scene.
An author who is about to re-
Spond to an undoubted popular
demand for an encore is Robert
