Musical Is Based
On viii. Idea

The impromptu flavor Of the
racy "little" shows that New York
has enjoyed so many years in the
Garrick GayetieS and presenta.
tions alike in their devastating
wit and rapidity Of action was the
goal Of Lew Brown and Hamilton
MacFadden in putting Fox's
"stand up and Cheer!" on the
screen.
The chief difference lay in the
scope of the camera. MacFad-
den, the director, realized the
problems he would encounter in
this type Of production, for it is
entirely new to the screen. and he
acted accordingly. His directorial
strokes were broad and obvious
and at the same time pointed.
"Stand Up and Cheer!" Is based
on an idea by Will Rogers and
Phil Klein. Heretofore Rogers
has confined himself primarily to
his miniature column for the
dailies. But the idea Of q myth
ical president Of the United States
creating an administration Of
entertainment so appealed to him
he wrote the story at greater
length and "sold" Winfield Shee-
han the idea.
The first object achieved in
eliminating the stereotyped Holly
wood customs in the production
of such an elaborate and novel
film was the wiping out Of the
usually included dance ensembles.

Horror Film

HOLLYWOOD, April 20.-When
Universal decided to make a pic
ture Of "Dracula," five years ago,
there were many dissenting voices
and those who sharply criticized
this experiment. The eerie, horror
drama, which created such q
tremendous sensation on the
stage, was not considered good
entertainment" for motion picture
theater gosrs, especially for
women and children.
But when "Dracula" was shown
in thousands Of theaters all over
the country, the box offices told
the story. People like to be enter
tanned at the movies" it is true,
but liked even better to be thrilled.
The theater-going public again
responded with enthusiasm after
"FrankenStein" was released. Both
these pictures were experiments,
but successful ones. People from
all, walks Of life like the unreal,
the weird and uncanny.
On the theory that imaginative
stories are most popular with mo-
ton picture audiences Universal
has gone forward, preparing for
bigger and better pictures of this
type. The most recent horror
film Is "The Black Cat" bringing
together for the first time both
'Frankenstein' and "Dracula," in
the persons Of Karloff and LugoSi
who Cre0ted the original roles In
those two A1illerA.
