OF the new methods of making talkies because
there is no settled technique. Directors are
working on individual lines and 1t is impossible
to say at present that certain method of re-
hearsing and of shooting is the best.
What are getting is blend of the
methods of stays and screen. When went
out to do my first talking picture went to
work on the set with the slow tempo which
had been used when I was in pictures 10
years ago.
That's all washed up that's out I was
told; give real theater stuff I discovered
that the talkie- makers were using the legit-
mate technique of permitting the scene and
action of the story to set its own tempo.
You will notice that this Is recognition OF
the advance of audience intelligence. The old
theory was based on the idea that the public
was so dumb that action had to be slowed up
in order to allow the movie millions to grasp
the emotional ideas depicted in pantomime
III 1t is no longer considered necessary to
make this concession to the vast audiences
that throng the motion picture houses and
If 1t is also possible to use story material that
would not have been considered 10 years ago,
there is absolutely no question that there has
been an elevation of public TASTE
THE improvement in intelligence or public
taste means that all the delightful inconsist-
encies Of human nature may be portrayed on
the screen as they always have been in the
best vehicles of the legitimate stage When
the heroine said to the hero, I hate you,' she
had to mean 1t in the old days, because it
was considered impossible to portray a COM
plex emotion, but now she may say the same
words, yet through the projection Of her inner
spirit and the understanding Of the audience
1t is possible to convey the fact that she is
only speaking in gust of anger and is madly
in love with the man.
Making talking pictures is not much differ
ent than preparing for play. Tile micro
phones take the place Of the audience

proper attention to house lights and decora-
tons, would go far to bridge the gaps between
the acts and hold the audience continually in
the period and tempo of the play.
plays change from year to year, with a
clear tendency toward the naturalistic and ro-
bust drama. Plays are holding mirror UP
to nature, interrupting instead of trying to add
a falsetto and artificial note to life. The Sir
I-dare you type of drama is extinct, and people
are too intelligent to accept artificial substi-
tutes.
This is as true in pictures as in legitimate
drama. There has been a great change in
the type Of material offered to the public in
the form Of entertainment, for the producers
have begun to realize that they have been
Understanding the intelligence of the public.
1T is true that the screen speaks to millions
while the stage talks to thousands. The themes
which only short time ago were thought flt
only for the highbrow intelligence of the audi
ences in art theaters now being converted
into drama for the masses.
1T is not generally realized that there is a
constant elevation Of public taste. With our
mass methods Of public education we are Gre
ating audiences for more intelligent drama.
ono ONE doubts that the radio has given a
musical education to millions and that
the constant repetition of Wagner Tschaikow-
sky, Beethoven and Brahms has popularized
musical classics In way one would have
considered impossible 10 years ago.
I'm the same way, talking pictures will
create larger audiences for the speaking stage.
Picture house audiences, having learned the
pleasure Of reacting to the emotions in speech
and pantomime projected to them through a
mechanism, will patronize the legitimate houses
to get the thrill which can only be communi-
Gated by real people from the speaking stage.

MYSTERY Wells
TEXAS MURDER
Third Victim Taken From
Pecos Waters At
Fort Stockton

FORT STOCKTON, March as
R-Another murder mystery con-
fronted Pecos county officials to-
day as they sought Identification Of
the body or a 45-year-old man,
third murder victim recovered from
the brackish waters Of the Pecos
river with the last six weeks.
The nude body Of the man, q
bullet hole through the back, was
recovered yesterday by fishermen
from the river 25 miles from here,
near Imperial, about half a mile
from the place where the bodies
OF a woman. about IS. and e r.
year-old girl, were discovered on
Feb. 81. The mans body had been
stripped OF clothing. and nothing
with which to identify him was
found in the vicinity. The body
was held today in a mortuary at
Fort Stockton.
Sheriff w. p. Rooney and state
rangers who investigated said the
man could not have been dead
more than two days.
The murder victim had grey
eyes, was of brunei type with hair
turning grey. His face was closely
shaven, and his hair had been
neatly trimmed. A small pit scar
on the left cheek and a large scar
on the left side Of the neck were
the only marks on the body which
might afford Identification.
Pecos county and seven neighbor-
ing counties posted rewards OF
more than 81 900 for apprehension
OF the slayers of the woman and
girl, and Sheriff Rooney predicted
other rewards would be posted in
the latest case, which he believed
might have some connection with
the other two deaths.

men Are Found.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 20.-Lieut. Rocco
Passarella and Patrolman Albert Ristau
the two Melrose Park policemen who
made the recent liquor raids In the
suburb-were still missing from their
homes early today.
Reports Of their disappearance varied;
some had them taken for a ride" as
gangland reprisal; others had them In
hiding after reputed death threats had
been received
Neither has been seen since Friday
the day Passarella resigned from the
police force. The resignation, 1t was
said, was In lieu of discharge intended
by the village board.
Meanwhile, the United States district
attorneys Office became interested.
Daniel Anderson, assistant district at
torney after a conference with Chief of
Police Leesberg and the village trustees
of Melrose Park, issued the following
statement:
Following the bombing of the home
OF Guy G. Guerine, village attorney, ]
called the chief and the village officers
to my Office and demanded a cleanup
Of the Melrose Park alcohol ring. I
thought Passarella was the only man
with sufficient courage and resourceful-
ness to clean out the ring and told
them so.
They agreed to put Passarella on the
cleanup job. Within day or two he
raided three stills, the last one being a
1,200-gallon plant, which the Govern
ment regarded as an important seizure.
We need Passarella's testimony in these
cases and If he has come to harm the
village officials will have to face the
Federal grand Jury"
