AT THE MOVIES
Plans First

More than twice as much time Is
spent in the preparation of an Ernst
Lubitsch picture than in actually film
ing it.
Lubitsch, whose latest production,
Trouble in Paradise" comes to the
Paramount Theater, with a cast head
ed by Miriam Hopkins, Kay Francis,
Herbert Marshall, Charlie Ruggles
and Edward Everett Horton. is one of
the most painstaking of Hollywood
directors. Though the principal
charm of his pictures lies in their
apparent spontaneity. they're worked
out far in advance, and all that ap-
pears spontaneous has been mulled
over time and again until Lubitsch Is
sure it's absolutely perfect, according
to his way Of thinking.
In preparation for Trouble in Par
adise," for example, he worked daily
for three months with Samson Ra-
phaelson and Grover Jones, who wrote
the scenario from play by Laszlo
Aladar, Viennese playwright. Not
only plot, but dialogue and the deft,
whimsical touches that trade mark q
pictures as Lubitschmade, were work.
