floor of the ST. Joseph house on that
morning of April 3, 1882. Gerald Chap

He used to be a magician and his card
tricks baffled half of Beverly Hills for
two months. He has furthermore a
pleasant voice. gray eyes. white teeth. a
mean look, and set of Schnitzler.

carpenter instead of the result OF hang
ing the camera and cameraman over
the edge of scaffolding.
The result is that the sets on which
Goldwyn's merry men shot this film
resemble the inside of Coney Island
crazy house. Vanishing points are all
wrong: windows slant unaccountably;
floors slope in several directions at once;
there are shadows where no shadows
should be and none at all where they
might be expected. Walls hang men,
acingly over furniture which is slightly
askew. Movie audiences long since
have become used to seeing such efforts
employed in consonance with the dra-
matte necessities Of the picture in hand,
but few of them will realize that the
angles and shadows they see are
achieved in construction and not by
Photographic Juggling with a normally
arranged set.

Blend.

and the stage. Conference is
the much needed quality. In THE
Broadway Melody" and CLOSE
Harmony" the stage and screen
were blended in such a manner
that the picture as a whole was
made thoroughly entertaining. In
"Cocoanuts" one Of the Marx
brothers plays a harp, another
wise-cracks, then the chorus
dances, followed by another
brother at the piano. The pic
ture lacks a motion picture tech
nique; the succession OF scenes
goes on without the relation Of
one to another. No matter how
entertaining the film may be, 1t
is Just a series of vaudeville stunts;
the stage show has been shifted
to the screen without many
changes, and it is clear demon
stration that the two cannot
work together.
