HOLLYWOOD-The talkie, with
all its complicated mechanical and
technical demands In production.
and its initial drain on the purses
Of producers who have expended
large sums for sound stages and
delicate recording equipment. Is
proving cheaper to make than the
old silent picture.
Such Is the opinion of many film
men, and one Of the reasons for
this seemingly paradoxical condi-
ton Is that the ec~centricities of
'King Mike" have injected into
picture-making some much-needed
efficiency.
The business. In days 3. T. Cbe-
fore TALK was more or less hap
hazard. ut random. impromptu, or
what-have-you-and-t the director, as
far as actual filming was concerned.
There were scenarios to follow. or
course, but little details Of produce
ton usually were left to take care
or themselves until they bobbed up
TO demand immediate attention.
We'll see about that when we
come to IT," was all too frequently q
stock directorial expression. And a
costly one.
Nov. because OF the tremend-
Gus overhead on sound-film produc-
ton. so called little details must Be
planned In advance TO the last tiny
gasp or sigh in the dialogue. The
result Is quite a bit OF saving, elm
nation Of waste.
SKELETONS.
Director Herbert Brenon. maker
Of Peter Pan" "SorrelI and Son.
and Beau Geste" among other sill
ent film successes. now Is making
his first talkie. ard in SO doing has
gone the efficiency boys one bet
ter. His innovation Is a skeleton
set" rehearsal system used precad-
ing the beginning Of actual filming
and recording Of "Lummox."
Four weeks have been spent re-
hesrsing each PLAYER IL his eve-v
iAlG 64ll 6Cl4Dn. GIL T1NL is nNT
unusual: other directors have spe-t
as much or more on rehearsa,s
since talkies came.
Where Brenon pioneers IS in the
use Of two acres Of skeleton sets"
Of the exact dimensions Of the de-
tail-complete structures later built
on the sound stages.
The same properties and furni-
ture actually used in the picture
were placed in their corresponding
positions on the score or more
Skeletons" and every camera
angle determined long before the
players were ready 70 record and
film on the sound stages.
CLOCK WORK
Therefore. with reheersals COM
pleted and sound stages in use,
each player knows not only exactly
what to do and ssy. but where to
do and say 1t. All that remains Is
for the director to see that the
PLAYERS perform their roles.
There nay be a hitch somewhere
there usually Is. in talkies-but II
won't be Brenon's fault.
