Native Technique.
DIRECTING natives Of foreign Loo

DIRECTING natives Of foreign locales
- for motion pictures requires great
tact, says w. S. Van Dyke, who filmed
the South Sea island romance Never
the Twain Shall Meet" now at the Earle
Theater.
The natives, he said. were the cause
of more headaches than any other
group. They wanted special food on
location, but what was an even more
exasperating problem was the fact that
they everlaStingly wanted to play. To
them acting was a great lark, and keep
ing their minds on business was the
least Of their worries.
Also to be considered were the Chi
nese extras, stolid and not easily under
standable. They, too had to have Spe-
cially prepared dishes. Furthermore.
many Of the deckhands and leaders used
in the picture were Italians with strong
leanings toward spaghetti and the art
Of basking in the sun.
1T often required the greatest self
control to handle the polyglot players. "
says Van Dyke. when told to act nat
ural they cut up, and when told to cut
up their ardor usually cools. My previ-
Gus experience in handling natives for
'White Shadows in the South SEES and
The Pagan and my recent trip to
Africa filming Trader Horn came in
more than handy"

A New Warfare Between

Thither by Organic ton Leaders.
Bv Robert E. Sherwood.

movies are certainly less prone than Is
the stage, or current literature, to call
a spade a spade, but they place far
greater emphasis on the evil power OF
suggestion However, the code goes on
being used as documentary, irrefutable
testimony to the cleanliness OF the
screen.
1t Is Cen. Hays duty to reconcile the
theories of the most rabid, vercnous
blond bartering showmen Of Holly
wood, and also with the tastes Of the
vast, thrill-hungry public. 1t Is an ut
terly impossible task one that can not
be accomplished by honest, direct
methods. The only methods open to
him are those that he constantly, and
skillfully, employs.
THERE seems to be prevalent through
all strata Of the film colony in
Hollywood the profoundly dismal con-
viction that the movie industry as at
present constituted hasn't much longer
to live. It is believed that whatever
happens to the stock market or to
business as a whole, the days Of mag
nificent profits from motion pictures
are done There is consequently a
grand rush by all present to consume
the liquid assets before the place
closes up.
The causes of this depressed state OF
mind are not hard to find. Good pic
lures have been made lately. the best
Of which the industry is capable. and
they have not been profitable. There
have been a few freakish financial sue
cesses, notably Trader Horn" and The
Millionaire" but there is little chance
that limitations of either will stand a
chance, and when Hollywood doesn't
know what to initiate 1t Is in a sorry
state.
The cinema supervisors have never
been conspicuous for their foresight

Now they can't even see that far. ]

hardly one pretends to have the slight
est idea what is to happen next. They
are completely bewildered by the pub
lies indifference to their best efforts
They try to study the box office sta
tistics, but these are confusingly con-
Trajectory. They cling to the belief
that the fans will always pay to see a
picture with strong sex interest, but
that straw isn't big enough to serve as
life preserver for an industry that must
produce TOO features a year.
It Is my belief that the attitude OF
pessimism Is justified. The next few
years are going to witness a stupendous
reduction in the opulence of the tradi-
tionally extravagant cinema
The supply of golden eggs is certain
to diminish. The poor old goose has
been worked to death.

Making Pets Pay.
ONE of Hollywood's safest economi

ONE OF Hollywood's safest economic
assets are its dumb actors-dogs,
cats and birds who act in films
At present, it is said, $50 persons are
dependent, their sole means of income
being the animals and birds they supply
for pictures In the golden era" these
overworked pets supplied their owners
with costly automobiles, impressive
states and daily repasts Of Drowned
frog legs and choice filet mignons. Now
1t is different. This Is the doubtful era
A good police dog, with a menacing
microphonic bark, has earned as high
as 5000 a day for its owner. In return
1t got raw hamburger steaks after a
hard days work and an occasional pat
on the head. A goose earned $50 day,
a cat $35. while there was no limit for
such freaks as q kinkajou and the cele-
brated Hollywood parrot who swears in
five languages.
These pets are distinct assets in the
economic life of the pet owners who
rent them out to the studios. COMPETE
ton for their pets, 1t is said, has made
these owners force to reckon with.
Rex Bailey, casting director at the
Radio Pictures studio. says they are
among the most regular callers at his
office, and some will go to great lengths
to get on the studios pay rolls.
