by birth a Russian. He was educated in
Russia and Germany. His film experience
has extended through those two countries
an the United States. He is generally
accredited to be an outsts nding artist at
directing.
Mr.. Milestone was not hampered in any
way by Mr.. Laemmle. He chose his own
cast and handled the production as he
wished, always ~clinging faithfully to the
novel. Virtually all the reviewers who
have seen the completed picture give him
the major portion of the credit for the
splendid results which have been achieved.
Among the players he selected for the
cast are Louis Wolheim. Lew Ayres, Slim
Summerville. Owen Davis Jr.. Russell
Gleason, John Wray, Ben Alexander. Will
liam Blackwell. Raymond Griffith and
many others. Perhaps you do not know
these names very we'll; however. you may
rest assured that you will after you see
the picture.
A veritable army of extras was hired to
enact the battle scenes required. and in
the handling of these men Milestone is
said to have done wonders.
Tit panoramic scenes are reported to
be among the highlights of the film.
With the exception of the episode where
the German soldiers swim a river one
night to visit some French girls. the
picture does not contain resemblance of
the customary 'love interest"

mated that the story has cen read by at

the height of its popularity as literature.
The picture has probably received better
reviews from the critics in New York. and
other cities where it has been shown
than any other film production that has
been exhibited.
1t might be well TO return for a moment
to the time when it was announced that
Carl Laemmle. president of the Universal
Company. has bought the talking screen
rights to the novel. Commentators on
events in the cinematic field were loud
in their laments over the novels proposed
Elimination. It was feared in many quar-
ters that the story would not reach the
screen intact.
Mrs. Laemmle. however. in accordance
with his pledge to the author, showed
signs from the first of making a sincere
effort to do the right hank and transfer
the book to screen exactly as it was writ
ten.
He went to great expense to obtain
Maxwell Anderson as adapter of the novel.
Mr.. Anderson. you nay remember. is the
man who helped to write What Price
Glory for the stage. He also has proved
his dramaturgic abilities by writing a
number of other plays of more than aver
age caliber.
Maxwell Anderson vent to work on the
novel and became so inspired by the job
that hi gave up all his other interest for
several months in order to devote his
complete attention to the work at hand.
He asked that George Abbott, another
playwright. best known for his Broad
way" be called in to help him in the
writing of the dialogue. This request was
granted. and the team worked diligently
until the job was finished.
Laemmle then demonstrated further dis
regard for expense and showed his eager
ness to produce a masterpiece by signing
Lewis Milestone as director. Milestone is

strange articles of microphones

ton with the filming of Call of the
Flesh Ramon Novarro's new Me-
neutrality-suspicious. picture, which
opens today at the Palace.
In the cantina scene, where No
varro and Renee Adoree dance
their Spanish dance, the music is
that of a symphony orchestra, but
at the same time the tinkIe of
Spanish guitar and mandolin filter
through it, keeping every strain in
character"
Dr.. William Axt, who directed the
big orchestra, tells how it was done.
I'VE wanted the full orchestra eff
feet, and still retain the Spanish
influence" he remarked, so we
placed the orchestra in a shell, or
special room, with its own micro
phone, and then, set apart, a group
of mandolin players, guitar players,
and two musicians playing cymba-
Ions, a strange sort of stringed per-
cussion instrument. We also had
castanets in this group. A special
microphone picked up this music
and it vas mixed in the proper
blend. with the strains of the or
chestra itself"
There are a number of interesting
effects in the new story of Spain
and a young Spanish opera singer.
When Novarro jumps over the wall
to meet Dorothy Jordan, for in

through the employment of an in
tricate piece of mechanism with
levers and gears. In the opera
scenes a special opera orchestra was
used, and the music was filtered"
through gauze in front of the mi
crophone to keep the tone and yet
temper the volume.
The new picture was directed by
Charles Brabin, and Dorothy Jor-
dan, Renee Adoree, Ernest Terrence,
Nance O'Neil and others of note are
in the cast.
Novarro sings a number of special
songs, as well as arias in the opera
sequence, and Ernest Terrence is
heard as a pianist for the first time
on the screen.
The story is the tale of the rise
to fame of a young opera star, torn
between two loves. The dramatic
remuneration of his sweetheart, Re-
nee Adoree's tragic sacrifice on the
altar Of love, the great opera scenes
and other vivid moments mark the
huge production.

Farnum, with dialogue by John Col

hal Gesture and THE Rogue Song"
Herbert Stothart and Clifford Grey
of THE Rogue Song and Devil

stances ensue which threaten to dis
rupt their romance.
When the girl causes the accident,
which results in her being brought

her influential friends tries to bribe
him, he r%esolutely decides to push

Of equal justice to rich and poor
alike.

Dunn and Hilda Vaughn. George
Abbott directed.
