HOMESICK

No picture that Paramount has
made in recent years has re-
osfVed such diligent application Of
the .company's research facilities
as has The Wheel of Life"
Richard Dix's newest all-talking
picture, which is now at the
Earle Theater.
Much of the action of the
picture takes, place in a temple
of the Buddhist lamas or high
priests, who hold sway over the
people, of Thibet, the territory
north of India in the Himalaya
Mountains.
Thibet is the highest country
in the world, comprising table,
lands averaging over $4,000 feet
above sea.level. The natives are
a racial mixture of Turks and
Mongols and they have long been
hostile to the inroads of ex-
plorers and Eastern travellers.
Major Fairbanks Smith, who
served IA years with the British
army in India, was appointed
technical director of the picture.
His knowledge Of the country and
the customs of the lamas and
their people was used to great
advantage In working out the
technical details of picture and
sound in the mysterious temple
scenes.
Richard Dix plays the rode Of q
British captain in the drama and
Esther Ralston is his leading lady.

F0oLING THE
FLICKER
STARS

AL Christie, veteran movie pro.
ducer, who recently. turned out
another all-talking farce comedy
feature, Divorce Made Easy. I"
starring Douglas MacLean, has
discovered an interesting phase Of
the new talking picture produc.
ton art which augurs well for
the continued advancement of
quality in this type of entertain.
ment.
The particular phase Is this
several cameras are used on the
soundproof stages, shooting stimuli.
taneously and securing much
more natural acting from the
players than was effected by the
old silent picture method of one
camera Shooting"
The reason more natural acting
is produced by this means is that
the actors themselves do not know
which cameras product is going
to, be used in the finished film
product. AS a scene is progress
ing @one camera is concentrating
on the male star, another is TAX
ing a long shot of the entire
scene and a third may be focuss-
ing on the central group Of actors
at shorter range. Thus the actors
cannot play up" to the camera,
as might be the case IL there
were only one lens to face.
The finished picture which the
public sees on the screen is the
result of cutting, and selecting
the most desirable shots. OF
course the sound is the same, no
matter how many cameras have
been used for the shooting OF
the film. and the film from any
camera can be matched with the
sound.
This new technic Is strikingly
demonstrated in Christie's latest
feature, Divorce Made Easy" "
which IL now playing al -LOew's
Palace.

The motion picture director may
be forgiven II he believes that hair

purpose of adding to his worries.
Alan Crosland has had his troubles
because actors hair insists on

It's not simply because he was
a leading man in pictures some
years ago, and played co1nboys,
Royal Northwest Mounted Police
and engineers who INDUCED in
many a rough and tumble scrap.
Neither is it because he was once
in disartrous train wreck. and
had presence of mind enough to
scramble out of the overturned
dining car, help those who were
badly injured and also take pho.
tographs of the scene.
Nor is 1t because after turning
director he had the courage to
break away from all the old con.
ventional methods of directing,
particularly the treatment of gang
sters, and produces in Dressed
to KilP' and Romance of the
Underworld" a couple Of pictures
that were as real as the smoke
from gunmen's gats.
Cummings considers himself en-
titled to being credited with lots

Behind That Curtain"
When he directed the initial
outdoor all talking picture made
by Fox Movietone, I'm Old Ari-
zona," Cummings had his first
experience with eating fine parti-
cles blown loose from the earth.
He directed the outdoor sequences
at Victoryville, on the fringe Of
the Arizona desert, where he
reached the conclusion there was
all the sand any man could want
and more.
His experience with it was all
the more trying because he had
to leap to his directorial post un-
expectedly, taking up the guidance
of the picture after Raoul Walsh
was compelled to relinquish it
following an unfortunate acci-
dent to his eye when a startled
jackrabbit leaped through the
windshield of his motor car.
