so, of course, none ventures to
predict. But it's unSpoiledness
may be taken as automatic for

matter of moment that we are to
see Bali, as is, on the local

One week from Friday, to be
exact, unless the publicitors of
the Loew houses are doing bit
of kidding. Charles T. Trego, we
are assured, brings Isle of Para
disc" to the Columbia for a
world premiere at that time, and
Mr.. Trego will be there in per-
son. Trego went to Bali because
he was tired of punching time
clocks, and remained to make a
picture. It shows the daily life
of Bali, sans any Hollywood
actor or actress, and the only
misadventure mentioned to date
is that Trego came near being
decapitated because he hired the
chief dancing girl of a local
sultan to appear in his movie.

Film Story
By RoUBEN MAMOULIAN


The camera in motion pictures
is not mere observer of events
unfolding themselves on the
screen, but also an active par
ticipant and an actor-just as i'm
portant as any engaged in the
cast.
Even as an actor. the camera
can underplay or everyday its part.
Obviously it should avoid doing
either.
There is always sound logic in
all good acting-every movement,
every intonation of a good actor
is inevitable; it has a reason and
a purpose.
So must it be with the camera.
Camera effects for their own
sakes have no place on the screen.
They must have reason for be-
ing"
Camera movements, angles. trick
shots, unusual and picturesque as
they may be, are useless and
harmful unless they help the
story or the characters portrayed
IN the screen play. They are
justified only when they help to
express more vividly the dramatic
point and mood of a scene or the
psychology of a character.
To illustrate this with a simple
example: Suppose we must show
a group of people sitting at a
table discussing some subject,
The natural way to photograph
the scene would be from the
normal eye level.
On the other hand, a shot of
the group taken from directly
above might be more effective
pictorially. Yet the latter would
be utterly meaningless and dis
tracing to the audience unless
there was a real dramatic rea-
son for it. If. for instance, one
of the characters in the story
were a spy hiding in the upper
floor of the house and caves.

through a hole in the ceiling:
such an angle shot would i'm
mediately become interesting and
necessary.
There must be artistic sense

move and angle. If man

to show that he could, on.
lockers would classify him as
foolish. But if he takes the
same course because it is the
quickest way of halting someone
about to shoot him, then the
same onlookers will laud his

between necessary and unneces-

The gentleman who unfoded this story to made two
requests He asked first that believe the story implicitly
And secondly he insisted that he wished to remain anony-
nous Both of his requests hereby granted and we
leap into the yarn with effugent avidity which
is very nice when served cold with dash of lemon.
1t Seems that Joe Burton resident of of the larger
cities in upper New York, had been playing the market
short for the past years When the first of last June
rolled around, he decided that enough plenty. He
closed out all his and found that he had $5OOOOO
in cash Which is not bad thing to find rainy
Monday morning 1t of helps to start the day off in
The Washington times., 1932-08-09

A little more persuasion on
Joe's part and the girl agreed
to go.
George received an excited
phone call from his friend that
night and was told that THE
girl had been found. AS Joe's
best pal. would George come to
New York the following day
and meet her? George would.
And the following night found
the three of them dining in one
of Broadway's faVorite res
taurants.
During the meal, as the
drinks went down and the bill
went up, Joe reached into his
pocket and drew forth five $100
bills. He gave them to Ethel
and said that this was her first
months salary in advance. She
placed them in her pocketbook,
thanked Joe with a charming
Smile-and then looked Wlst-
fully at him.
You'll not forget tomorrow
morning" will you, dear?" she
said. We'll have to start early
because there are so many
things I must get if we're to
leave on Wednesday. I'll have
to get practically an entire new
wardrobe. But you do want
your Ethel to look we'll, don't
you?"
George swallowed hard. That
speech gave him the tip-off on
the situation. And when he
saw his pal pat the girls hand
gently and tell her he would
buy anything she wished, the
cold shiverS ran up and down
his spine. When they finally
left Ethel at her home, George
tried to do the improper thing.
He'd Forget Her
Joe" he asserted, II know
this is none of my business, but
that girl is a colder proposition
than you think. You're being
taken over and it's 100 to
that. after she gets everything
she wants from you, she won't
sail anyhow
The other man did the thing
a man usually does when he's
infatuated with a woman. He
became furious with his best
friend.
I'll trouble you. George" he
stated abruptly, Ito keep any
of your unfavorable impressions
to yourself. Ethel is a grand
girl and 1 have implicit faith in
her. 1 didn't ask you to come
to New York to destroy that
faith"
You win" was Georges reply.
George was right. Ethel didn't
sail. Until 80 seconds before
they pulled up the gangplank,
Joe stood on the pier with his
friend and waited for her.
Then, just before he raced
aboard, Joe talked.
You were right, George" he
said. shes not what I thought
she was. I'm going without her
and I'll soon forget about her.
So long"
About 10 days later, in his
home town, George received a
cable from Joe that told him
all the news. Seems that, on
the second day out, a wireless
from Ethel informed Joe that
she had oversight and missed
the boat. If her darling Joe
would only send her another
$1,000 she'd join him in Paris
Immediately. And Joe had
sent 1t!
Joe is still in Paris alone.
