Russian Technique.

MUCH has been written about the
Russian technique Of making mo-
ton pictures-the treatment of story;
that Is, with great simplicity, directness
and closeness to life. American direc-
tors have been frequently urged-by
those who for preference turn their
faces toward importations-to model
their handling of pictures on the
Slavonic style.
There is a director in America who,
according to his own confession, has
been imp1anting the Russian technique
on the screen, without having studied
the Russian pictures. He is Irving Cum
mings, Fox director. He claims he has
applied the method Of simplicity, direct
ness and closeness to life to the field OF
crook melodramas-the field in which
admirers of overseas pictures least ex-
pect to find it.
An example Of this style was shown
in Dressed to KILL" an underworld
drama, which won press and public
favor in New York, and has since been
attracting interest elsewhere In the
country. It's naturalism was particu-
larly commented upon as its most ap-
pealing point.
Cummings claims he has used the
same method in making Romance OF
the Underworld" his latest production.
He gives an idea Of what he means:
"Often you'll see in a play an actor
when he's making up his mind to shoot
another character, sit down and scowl
fiercely. He seeks to telegraph the whole
thing as obviously as II he spelled 1t out
to the audience. People in real life don't
behave that way.
IF you'll notice also you'll find that
man when he's struggling with a pro-
found emotion, or passing through a
painful crisis, will often have a
blank look on his face. He'll show the
tension In his mind by some little oft
hand, incidental action, often so casual
as to seem insignificant. He'll tap a
desk with a pencil, or scratch his ear
or do something equally slight.
"Yet the whole power of his feeling
lies In that slight act. You realize that
he's a seething volcano underneath, and
that he's afraid to trust himself to do
anything pronounced, for fear he'll
burst out in an act of violence. So he
takes refuge in tame gesture. "I've

Was a Week Old.

THE most minute attention to details
is demanded in preparing motion
picture sets.
This was evidenced during the film
ing Of "Outcast" at the First National
studios In Burbank. In this story of
San Francisco, starring Corinne Griffith,
trimmed Christmas tree, various Yule-
tide wreaths and other holiday decora-
tons were required for an important
scene.
When the decorations were all Il
place-the tree deliberately trimmed,
gay festoons hung from the lighting
fixtures, over the nantel and in The
windows-it was discovered that the
tree was faded and the wreaths little
the worse for wear. Some visitors on
the set remarked about the dinginess of
the evergreens. and asked If it were
not possible to get fresher ones.
A property boy. whose pride was hurt
Immediately stepped forward and indig-
nantly exclaimed:

It was chilly night and he went home

Meantime Adolph Zukor, who him

Belasco Doesn I Forget.

"A BOUT 10 years ago young girl
went to the Belasco Theater In New
York with the fixed determination of
seeing David Belasco. Her ambition
was to appear in one Of his productions.
4lthough she was but one Of the
many who came there the same day
with the same purpose, there was
something in her earneStness that won
her the opportunity Of an interview, In
which, with the confidence Of youth,
she told Mr.. BelaSco she wanted to ap-
pear under his management and that
she could DO almost anything.
He was impressed by her eagerness
and ambition, but there was nothing
at the time he could offer her. How
ever, he promised to keep her In mind
and 10 send for her II he had q role he
believed she could play.
It was not until 1.-THE Bachelor
Father" which comes to Washington
this week, came into his hands that he
was able to redeem that promise.
The character Of Tony Flagg, the
sturdy young heroine Of 1.-THE Bachelor
Father" seemed ideally suited to Miss
Walker, and so Mr.. Belasco sent for
her and offered 1t to her. The play was
not to be produced, however, until the
past February.
She was delighted, Of course, and
even without reading 1t declared she
would be willing to play it II Mr. BelsScc
wanted her to do so. The fact that
Mr.. Belasco had chosen her for it made
her very happy, and during the con.
verSation he recalled his promise and
reminded her that he was redeeminl
it at last.
June walker Is one Of the most popu.
lar Of the young leading actresses Of
the day, and her Characterization o.
Tony Flagg Is said to be the success Of
her career.
Born in Chicago, and an orphan al

been often revived. 1t has in It's per-

It is said to be the only professional
theater in this country which has been
granted tax exemption. because of the
high quality of plays given and the
standard of work maintained over a
long period of time.
Otto Kahn is quoted as saying Of this
enterprise:
"It is the Battle Of Bunker Hill in
the fight for a finer American stage
that is being fought right here In Bos-

dramatist, author Of Abraham Lin

THE last literary effort Of Lajos BRO
to find its way to the screen before
the noted Hungarian dramatist re-
turned to Europe is being shown here
during the current week. 1t Is "The
Night Watch" First National picture
starring Billie Dove.
It was based on Bros play, I'm the
Night Watch" which was written for
the screen, and climaxed the two years
effort which the playwright devoted en-
tirely to writing for motion pictures.
Upon completion of the picture he
returned to his home in Budapest,
where he plans to continue his writing
for the stage, but with the intention of
returning eventually to Hollywood and
motion pictures.
BRO has written a number of play
successes, both for stage and screen,
among them Hotel Imperial" He is
