Making an Arliss Film.

IN all George Arliss screen plays. such
as his latest Warner Bros. vehicle,
"The Kings Vacation" the method OF
production is quite different to that OF
other pictures.
Almost invariably in the ordinary
production, the leading players are
given scripts and simply told to report
at certain time on given day. The
picture is Immediately put into produc-
ton, the rehearsals being made on the
floor, scene by scene, as they are taken.
The players of bit" parts are not even
furnished with scripts, but are given
their lines on the spot by the script
girl or director. Frequently the bit"
players have no inkling OF what the
story as whole is about.
Not so in making the Arliss picture.
The star calls every one, down to the
least important player, into conference
10 days to 2 weeks before the picture
is scheduled to start. The play Is first
read and a general discussion takes
place on the characterizations and the
motivation of the story. Every member
of the cast must be thoroughly familiar
with these details and have commit
ted his lines to memory before any
thing else is done.
The company then goes into rehear-
sal, developing the plot from the OPEN
ing scene clear through to the end.
much in the same way that play is
rehearsed for the stage. Not until all
members of the cast are letter perfect
with the entire screen play does produc-
ton start on the studio stages.
While considerable more time is taken
up in rehearsal by this method, this is
offset by the rapidity of action on the
stages, the players being ready to go
into their scenes with little prelimi-
naries.

IF "Forty-second Street." the new mu-
sical picture which is soon to open
on Broadway, succeeds In bringing mu-
sical. films back into high public favor,
as Warner Bros. are hoping and be-
lieving that it will, much Of the credit
will belong to Ruby Keeler. At any
rate, that is what those who have had
advance peeps at the picture are saying.
Ruby Keeler. ss you probably know,
is in private life Mrs. Al Jolson, and
she and Al attended a preview OF the
film together about week ago IN New
York. I'm scared to DEATH" confessed
the little blue-eyed. brown haired girl
who first came into prominence as q
tap-dancer in one Of Texas Guinan's
night clubs.
And she was genuinely scared. She
refused to sit beside even her husband
in the projection room, but went OIL
and sat by herself while the picture
in which she plays the principal FEM
inine role was shown on the screen.
At the end she was still doubtful.
though not quite so frightened. was
I all right?" she asked.
Everybody assured her that she was
great and she smiled. Maybe that's
why they decided they wanted me for
another picture" she said, with the
naivete that characterizes her.
I'm glad they let me do some
dancing in the picture" she confessed.
"You see, I'm not sure yet that I can
really act" But Warner Bros. seem to
be pretty sure about it. for they have
taken up her option and are building

On the few public appearances she

The resulting power Of Miss Hayes

her theater instincts can only serve
to bring one fervent hope to picture

About singing. though, I felt more con-

Miss Keeler, despite her dih1dence,
admits that she enjoyed her role In
"Forty-second Street" at the Warner
Bros Burbank studios. One Of the
chief thrills came from associating
daily with the other members Of the
cast-Warner Baxter, Bebe Daniels,
George Brent, Guy Kibbee, Dick Pow

rest. Il had seen them all in pic
lures and it was great fun working
with them. They knew that it was

forward to going to Hollywood again
