The Big Trail" Again.

FROM the wild and woody regions of
Bakersfield, Calf, comes an electro
graphic message from that Fox director
OF directors, Raoul Walsh, who has been
flooding the market with verbal de-
scriptions of 1.-THE Big Trail" activities
since the perturbation of this film be-
gan. Says he in this well nigh final
lyricism:
Leaving here on the last location
trip the end of the big trail stop desti-
nation big tree country in mariposa
where trail ends and where original
pioneers who struggled so long and so
faithfully got their reward in the valley
of dreams their new home in the west
stop john wayne marguerite churchill
and fully marshall are the principals In
this inspiring episode of the big trail
stop the same spirit of optimism and
hopefulneSs that must have actuated
the original pioneers seems imbeCNed in
the hearts and minds Of the entire
company stop we tackle this final epi-
sode happily and / am sure that emo
ton will register on the screen stop
expect to be in the big tree country for
about ten days and hope to secure some
wonderful scenic backgrounds of this
great country stop will notify you def
n1tely OF the exact date we end the
picture and then back to the studios for
tougher job of cutting many thousand
feet of film to the footage you require
stop please emphasize for it is true that
the entire production was made on loca-
ton and not a foot of film shot within
hundreds Of miles of studios and Holly
wood stop regards Raoul Walsh
Most Of this should be fairly clear.

Screen Economics.
WHEN Frank Mandel conceived

WHEN Frank Mandel conceived the
w idea of adapting Queen High,
his firms musical comedy, to the screen
he was told 1t would run far longer than
the conventional feature picture length,
due to the completely of its action and
plot.
Retiring to his office, Mandel set a
stop watch and started enacting the
various roles of the play at motion pic
ture tempo in his mind. When he had
finished he found he had occupied only
hour and Is minutes. He insisted,
therefore, that Queen High" could be
translated to- the screen without delet-
ing a single line from the original script.
Such was found to be the case when
the production went before the cameras.
Scene shifting and intermissions were
eliminated, of course, thus saving much
time. On the other hand, action and
dialogue were maintained at a pace
which would have been meaningless on
the stage. But because motion picture
actors appear much nearer their audi
ences," as it is explained, this actually
increased the effectiveness of the action,
and when the picture was completed 1t
was found that all the original comedy
situations contained in the three-hour
stage performance had been compressed
into an hour and a quarter of hilarious
screen entertainment, although num-
Der of new episodes had been added.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-08-03

But Whatever 1t was, it simply diSap-
peared, and very soon thereafter the
music of its punky piano could be
heard inside. And the crowds still
poured into the doorsi Why. they we're
bigger and crazier than ever. Why?
Simply because now there was a movie
inside
The proud and naughty theater looked
down upon its petty competitor with
d1sdain, even contempt. Neither man
ayers nor players could see it for a
moment. And now look at them!
They are wiped out. And the movie
did the wiping.
Every time anything, no matter what
1t was, except that it must be a ia
vorite with the great mass of rest
less people who inhabit the earth, but
every time it bobbed its head in the
air, quickly came the prediction that
it was destined to kill the movies.
The latest in the line of deadly rivals
was the radio. The radio was certain
to annihilate the Pickering phantom
of the screen, even after the engineers
had begun to make it talk and act like
something keenly alive. And now what
has happened?
The movie has started to devour the
radio. And howl
Perhaps the radios greatest gift
from heaven is Graham McNamee.
oh, yes! Fellows that follow the
broadcast of prize fights don't like him.
Neither do those with gravy spots on
their vests. Nor do foot ball lovers,

mains Graham does go strong with
the lassies. And it Is fact no one
may dispute that the broadcasts. with
McNamee behind them. from soap TO
yeast-cakes, are always the most popu-
lar that come over the air. He gets
the results or he wouldn't be where
he is in the official line of the biggest
broadcasting institution in the world.
But--for all that-the movie has cap
tured Graham McNamee and tied him
up hand and foot for a triad Of time
cycles. Not to make sentimental pic
lures. nor to be the film hero to haraSr
the villain in thriller. ncS :. .S75S

shiver with thrills, or pathetical1y weep
with the sad and the sorrowfIl.
Everything that creeps into these lead
ing picture reporters of the day,
whether frnm the crowded city. or
from the quiet countryside. Graham
now has to invest his personality. his
wit, his humor and his irrepressible
and unmatchahle gab He is going to
tell the world all about it, whatever
at" may be.
And now. If you dare, say that the
radio Is going to do up the movie!

/ and hears any Of the standard thinly
yelled obScenities, what can its members
do? Suppose one of them should speak
I'D and announce: 81 object to that
That is only another way of saying
so-and-so." In protesting thus the
censor would be telling nothing less
than the truth, but he would also be
advertising his own evil mind-admit-
ting his knowledge of some of the COM
monplace but unlovely elements in our
language.
So it is that the wary film producers
can and do get away with all sorts OF
furttve tricks. Ninety per cent of all
the audiences recognize them for what
they were intended to be and are pro-
voked to outbursts of coarse laughter
Perhaps it Is from the remaining 10
per cent-the innocent. bewildered mi
nority-that the censor boards are
recruited.
Personally I wish they'd speak out
and be done with it. If, for instance,
the bawdy sailor in THE Bad One" las
lmpersonated by Edmund Love- had
been allowed to give vent just once, and
In no uncertain terms, to the thoughts
which were Enthusiastically uppermost at
all times in his mind, then hundreds
OF feet OF fllm would have been saved,
and the audience would have been
spared an ineStimable amount of OBJ
Vlous circumlocution.
Also l doubt very much whether we
would ever again have to see Mr.. Lowe
IN TINS particular part-which would be
a blessing. We've had about enough of

A CERTAIN Maj. Pease has met with
Scant success in his attempt to
have All Quiet on the Western Front
banned in the United States on the
ground that it is subtly perniciouS
Soviet propaganda, intended to wreck
the structure of our democracy by dep
recating the glories of military service.
There has been a widespread tendency
to file Maj. Pease's warnings under the
general head of What of It?"
In Germany however, the public in
dignation against "All Quiet" Is aSsum-
ing formidable proportions. At first IL
was feared there that Universal would
not make the picture faithful tran
script of Remarque's book. Now certain
patriots have decided that 1t Is alto
gether too faithful. 1t represents young
German soldiers as cowardly neurotlcs
and is therefore a studied insult to the
entire Teutonic race.
1t might be added that there have
been precisely similar objections in Eng
land to the scrupulously faithful MIN
verson of Journeys End"
Which just goes to show that, in the
Judgment of some people, Hollywood
can't possibly win.
