Directing Unseen Players

THE microphone electrically connect
ed with a battery of loud speakers
was put to the severest tests by Cecil B.
De Mile during the production of 1.-THE
King of Kings" with the result that
in future pictures the big horn mouthed
by the actual physical speaker will be
entirely abolished or relegated to assist
ant directors commanding little isolated
groups of players.
One of the most interesting uses of
the microphone was in the scenes of
the reconstruction of the Jewish Temple,
a series of terraced structures climbing
the slopes of Mount Moriah from the
court of Gentiles at the bottom to the
Holy of Holes at the top. Standing on
the topmost steps, De Mile directed the
encounter Of Jesus and the high priest
near the Holy Place. and simultaneously
the shouting crowds of followers of the
Messiah entering the CoponiuS Gate. at
the foot of the hill, several hundred feet
away.
In the Via Dolorosa or Way of Sorrow
he actually directed crowds quite be-
yond the line of sight. It should be
explained that the celebrated Way is a
sort of network or gridiron of several
streets and not continuous straight
street from the Praetorium Of PLATE to
Calvary. Knowing what he had done
before and having placed the approach
ing procession in the lower streets, he
was enabled to give his orders to them
before they turned the corner into the
narrow alleyway where some Of the
most effective shots were made. That
is, the microphone orders synchronized
the movements of the crowd not yet to
be seen with those of the crowd already
in the alley.
On the great Golgotha or Calvary SCI
the voice from the microphone came
into direct rivalry with the tones of
the $4,000 pipe organ which the di-
rector had installed on that set to pro-
vide the inspiring music to accompany
the action. Nevertheless, the IL loud
speakers distributed on various portions
of the set enabled players in each por-

Picture Pirates

THE word pirate" is usually associat-
l. ed In this country with the bucca-
neers who sailed the Spanish Main in
the eighteenth century. That the world
has long been full Of pirates is not
generally known. But these scourges OF
the seas have dourished for centuries
in such diversified places as Malaysia,
Tripoli, the Scandinavian countries, etc.
One of the most famous bands OF
corsairs that ever lived found their
livelihood Of the coast of Italy during
the sixteenth century. This band, a
community living in feudal splendor in
an old castle by the sea. kept them
selves in the necessities of existence by
their depredationS among the merchant
ships of the Mediterranean. Outside OF
their piracy. they were much like any
other village community.
Such a situation would seem to be
good material for motion picture, and
the UFA organization, always eager to
bring something to the screen, reallzed
this two years ago. Research experts
we're promptly engaged to build up an
authentic background for a fllm ABOUT
these pirates, and an actual story con-
corning them was woven into a scenario.

that women will some day take matters

whether they want it after they get it.

New "Fifty-Fifty' Bob.

THE "fifty-fifty bob" is Hollywood's
own contribution to feminine hair
dress styles.
It was necessity that began this hair
cut. which accommodatingly permits its
wearer to become bobbed fapper one
hour and a long-haired ingenue the
next. It is this convenience which
has made it popular in the film colony.
Mary Brian, who appears in For
gotten Faces" was one OF the first to
inaugurate this mode. She has her
hair cut to long bob in front and
has kept the back at its original length,
almost to the waist.
When a bob is desired Miss Brian
pins up the hair in back and brushes
the short hair from the front over the
long.
