THE largest motion picture camera
department in the world is the
boast of the Technicolor Corporation,
whose 35 skilled cameramen carry
working tools worth 100000 when they
leave their Hollywood headquarters
each morning for the various studios
where color films are being made. That
sum is an approximate valuation OF
Technicolor's supply of the sensitive
cameras which are rapidly changing the
screen from drab black and white into
gorgeous natural hues.
Although 1t maintains the largest
camera department in the picture col
ony Technicolor is not a producer Of
motion pictures. It's cameramen work
for such producers as Warner Bros,
Paramount. Metro Goldwyn Mayer,
First National, Radio, United Artists,
Universal and Tiffany.
A technicolor camera, without equip
ment, costs $4,000 to build. With the
equipment and general tuning up re-
quired, the cost mounts to between
$l3 900 and $4,000. The first techni-
color camera-the result of an enor-
nous expenditure In money, research,
experiment and mechanical skill-re-
corded its first scene in Miami, Fla,
on Thanksgiving day of 1921. Since
then the teohnioolor camera has taken
rank alongside the microphone in
bringing realism to the screen.

cranks of the technicolor camerasl The

Ruth Chatterton's Story.

ALTHOUGH Honey" the attraction
1 at the Metropolitan, suggests all
the qualities that have endeared Nancy
Carroll to movie fans, nevertheless in q
former life and under a different name
it has done as nicely for an even greater
actress.
Back in 1915 Honey" was a stage
play called Come Out of the Kitchen"
and its star was a certain lady named
Ruth Chatterton. Ruth then was at
the peak of her theatrical career, hav-
ing played with Henry Miller in Daddy
Long Legs" and other notable plays.
It was after Come Out of the
Kitchen" had spun out its pleasing
existence that Miss Chatterton seemed
to have diflculty in finding the right
kind of play. Barrie's MARY Rose" in
1920 found her as lovely as ever, but
the play didn't win boX-oflce approval,
and it wasn't really until lucky tide
happened to land her on the shores of
Hollywood a year or so ago that she
was allowed to play the kind of role
again that had previously marked her
as one of our foremost-and Washing
tons favorite-actresses.

her place? st can," said a slim little
chorister, only to be greeted by a peal
of derisive laughter.
Ultimately the composer tried her out
and the next night she stepped into
the lead and never went back to the
chorus again. The green-painted door
of the white-walled Dutch farmhouse
was closed on her, presumably forever,
for even in the hour of her triumph her
people could not forgive her.
One night quietly dressed, elderly
woman crept unobtrusively into seat
and watched Beppie as "Gri-Gri." The
plaudits of the audience made her hold
her head a bit higher than she had
ever done.

folks around her. such acting, such
beauty, such graceI Holland ought to

thoughts of Broadway Qualification Is a
healthy sign. one which has done much
for the theater since. In the first place
1t has proved that originality is not to
be scorned and in the second place that
a play can be play even when there
is no conflict between the sexes.
Thoroughly abaShed, one is told, were
the first producers who looked over the
manuscript when they discovered that
Mr. Sheriff. had ignored the weaker
and yet more glamorous sex. They even
had the nerve, for which they have been
doing penance since, to return the play
very politely to the young author, with
the remark that he had better patch
it up a Bit" Mr.. Sheriff.. however,
was unwilling to do the patching, with
the result that it has proved to be what
Alexander Woolcott calls "the greatest

aJoURNEY's END"-March 80.

JOURNEYS END"-March 80.
The announcement of the coming of
that great epic of the World War,
Journeys End" to Polls theater, the
week of March 80, should be Of unusual
interest
Each of the allied powers in the
great war has recently dramatized its
experiences of conflict France had its
Tomb of the Unknown Warrior" the
United States its What Price Glory?"
and England its Journeys End" Each
expressed the individual reactions of q
different nation. The English play, how
ever, has had a worldwide appeal.
Although written from q distinctly
British viewpoint, and dealing with eS-
sentially English types, 1t has been q
sensation Of sensations wherever it has
played. Four notable dramatic efforts
with the great war as their background
have been produced since the war; three
were English, Havoc" wings Over
Europe" and Journeys End"
Journeys End" when 1t was shown
in New York last Winter, it is said,
scored a success even greater than the
tremendous ovation 1t received when 1t
opened in London. 1t has an irresistible
human appeal.
A group of men In q frontline dug
out in France, during q few days, are
waiting for q great German attack,
which they know will come, and that
It will overwhelm them. In the tense
days of expectancy and dread, all bar
riers of nationalism and racial types
are broken down, leaving only the raw
and essentially fine stuff OF which
humanity is made.
Journeys End" hits home, doubly
so to those of us who were in the war.
Written by Robert G. Sheriff, a for
mer lieutenant in Surrey regiment,
1t presents actual experiences and pic
lures men whom the author really knew.
The company to be seen here and
which will play the larger cities OF the
East Is the same that played through
an extended run in Boston the early
part of the season, and in Philadelphia,
where it packed the Lyric theater for
several weeks. 1t includes Richard Bird.
Henry Stephenson, John ParriCh,
Charles Esdale and Arthur Stenning.
