BY E. de S. MELCHER.

r OLLYWOOD, Calf, August o.
There's something about
l. filming Pulitzer Prize play
Il Il that sets it slightly apart
from its studio mates. An aura of
dignity surrounds it. The players
may get glass of water or a coca
cola or so more. The director prob
ably doesn't sleep at nights. The
company which is filming it goes
around with a wider chest and with
an inner consciousness that it has got
a prize bird which must be cooked
to the best taste and that it's going
to be cooked that way just to show
the other studios that its knowledge
OF higher things is infallible.
So with "Winterset," out at R-K-O,
the mere mention of it seems to bring
a certain reverence, and there isn't
any one out there who isn't enthuSed
at the early "rushes" which have been
shown and at the mere thought that
this popular Maxwell Anderson play
Is being prepared there for the screen.
R-K-O knows, of course, that 1t
has a fight ahead with the film. The
names of Burgess Meredith, Margo
and Eduardo Ciannelli don't mean
twopence to the box Office. Never
theless, having been honest with the
script, and honest with the casting,
realizing that the Broadway players
who played in it probably know their
business a hundredfold better than
could any Hollywood celebrities, they
have gone ahead with right and might
behind them and, but for the fact that
they have changed the ending (the
girl and boy don't die-and why
should they, after all-or do you re-
member the play?), all will be as 1t
was Except on larger scale) on the
stage.
Set Is Marvellous Work.
You would marvel at the set which
has been devised in studio lot and
which takes up every inch of that
lot. At one end of the building the
Brooklyn Bridge rises suddenly out
of the air, high over the heads of
the Brooklyn buildings which are cut
out in miniature against the wall.
Lights fash from these buildings and
lights fash on the bridge as it dis
appears into space over your head.

NEW YORK, August 22-Among
the passengers sailing from New York
recently was Van Worker Walsh, au-
thor and travel lecturer. Arriving
in Dublin, Walsh began the most ex-
tensive photograph tour Of his long
career. where, in Q three months
journey of the Emerald Isle, he pro-
poses to take over 1000 photographs
Of Irish scenes and points Of interest.

Below the bridge flow the waters of |

Below the bridge flow the waters ot
the East River.
The construction of this river in a
space 100 yards long and 10 yards
wide is miraculous. It is done by
tipping up long strip of tar paper
on a small angle, then furrowing this
paper (Which begins at the base of
the Brooklyn buildings) with lines
like those indicating ridges of noun
tains in topographic map. When
the scene Is "shot" a sheet of water
is let out at the top of the paper and
as it rolls down and across the river"
the burrows cause the water to sparkle
and rise in tiny waves such as you
may have seen out of the back win
dow of an East Side house.
1t is this sort of artistic magic which
endears Hollywood to the douoting
Thomases. You have only once to see
construction Of this kind to take off
your hat to an industry which may
be young and often foolish, but which
also can reproduce scenes and places
as they have never been duplicated
before.
We sit this day on an East River
dock, with our back to the river, and
face the other way. Here We see the
dingy buildings, which you must re-
member from the play, and the cob
blestones which glisten with the wet
of the fog and the rain. The Nujol
boys are busy again and clouds Of
mist rise into the air and buffet the
face of the organ grinder as he grinds
away and the small children who
dance around in childish exultation.
Margo sits sadly beside flicker
ering fire and looks wistfully at the
funmakers.
Meredith Admires Set.
Burgess Meredith joins us there,
grinning grimly out of the deep yel-
low makeup and admiring, too, the
Hollywood scenery which has copied
so closely one of Jo Meilziner's finer
stage SETS He tells of his admiration
for the prop" men, those wizards
of detail who 60 around mending and
weaving and fixing little things for
which bigger men would have no use.
He tells of new contract with R-K-O
which will allow him to do one pic
ture a year and two later on should
he have time. And then he says that

TOURISTS TO JOIN
33(EYEAR CLUB
Nova Scotia Revives "Order
of Good Time" on
Modern Lines.

ANNAPOLIS ROYAL. August a.
Unique is the invitation the Province
Of Novia Scotia is extending to visitors
to Join the first social club In Ameri-
ca" established $50 years ago. This is
"the Order of the Good Time," formed
during the Winter Of 1906 ITO keep
alive the spirit Of fellowship and good
cheer among the early French pio-
neers" Its founder was Samuel de
Champlain, its charter members were
the leading figures In the proud little
community, and the meeting place
was Poutrincourt's great hall In the
settlement Of Port Royal. now Annap-
oils Royal. on the tide-swept Bay Of
Fundy.
Each member Of this convivial as
sociation held the office Of grand mas
ter for one day, during which it was
his charge to provide for the company.
Ritualistic Meal.
The meal, served at noon in the
great hall, was much more than a
dinner. 1t was accompanied by all
the trappings of ritual. Into the i'm
mense chamber, in which a log fire
roared out its welcome, came the grand
master. He carried his staff of Office,
displayed the orders collar around his
neck and had a napkin slung across
his shoulder. He was followed by the
brotherhood, each carrying a dish.
The evening meal was eaten with
slightly less ceremonial but at its close
the grand master resigned the collar
and staff to the man who was to fill
the office next day, and the company
then pledged him in a cup of wine.
The long Winter evening had now set
tied in, but 1t had no terrors Of loneli-
ness for this happy crowd who passed
1t in the telling of tales and in what
our age knows as community sing
ing" The program closed with the
smoking Of the pipe of peace with
Indian guests.

The visitors organization which the
Province of Nova Scotia is forming this
year is to be known as "the Order of

the organization Is twofold-"To per-

of the first European settlement on

It Is entertaining because Mr.. Gregory
Raton and Mr.. Arthur Treacher. q
pair Of Hollywood's better motion
picture saviours. have been allotted
generous portions Of the script to
handle in their own bright ways.
Mr.. Tibbett is a singer Gin spite OF
the fact some casting director might
say he isn't the type). Mr.. Treacher
Is his valet and Mr.. Ratoff is his
manager. and they deftly manage to
make up for any shortcomings of the
film play. Making up for these short
comings is no mean task, either, when
you consider the story. 1t presents
Mr.. Tibbett as this singer who wants
to get away from it all, goes to New

known as q headstrong heiress

love. She is everything from the
country girl who can discourse on
proper diet for cows to the courtesan
who can make monkeys out Of Paris
most sophisticated males. Love is her
art and she Is the complete mistress
of its every subtle phase, q quality
that will make her current Aim no
less pleasing to women than 70 men.
Alternately she digs gold (paper
francs, to be exact) out Of Paris
most noble lover and lures bees to
peaceful haven on the bucolic re-
treat to which she has retired with
Armand. She is no less talented in
one vile than the other.
She appears in one Of her most
startling, If not her most happy mo-
ments, when she Is resoundingly
slapped by the disappointed baron
after he has Just given her 10000
francs to pay the debts that will free
her to love Armand.
RETTER, perhaps, than any scene
in Anna Karenina," as good, in
deed, as in the unforgettable inter-
lude Of the inn in Queen Christina"
Is the sequence in which she agrees
to renounce her love for Armand
at the behest Of his father. At
this moment . love that is without
stain is made ugly by q remembered
past. That part speaks not only in
the tormented words, but the tor
tured expressions Of superlatively
fine actress. To many it will be the
highlight Of the entire film, q Sc
quence in which Garbo shares hon.
ors with Lionel Barrymore.
Defiance Of the happy ending ira
dition gives Garbo's Camille its most
poignant moment. 1t Is in the death
scene that both she and Taylor rise
to their finest performances in the
picture, playing 1t with . finesse that
never permits it to get out Of hand
when it might 30 easily have done
Just that.
The supporting cast in the picture.
which belongs 30 definitely to the
enraptured lovers, is excellent. It has
been dressed with the care and
fidelity that mark all the pictures of
Great Garbo.
There are short subjects to COM
plete the bill, but the feature makes
them seem singularly unimportant.

10 JuQRe. CT one IeelS IIldt perspective
will not pull it very far below that
ranking. The story and the woman
who interprets it were made for each
other. If there are moments when
this truth Is less apparent than at
others, it Is not the fault Of Sweden's
greatest gift to America. She always
is on key, the poignant one which she
plays 80 well and with so many varia-
tions OF infection and mood.
The picture itself is not always SO
worthy of unqualified praise. There are
times when 1t moves slowly, when one
feels that some of its detail could have
been discarded without loss to its es-
sential theme of love that was deep,
glorious and doomed.
4 Il 4
IF ATTENTION flags at such times.
there are many avenues of es-
cape One, for instance, is the change
in Garbo's voice. The Scandinavian
accent Is gone. It Is clear voice now
with none of its musical quality lost
in the process Of change. Or, during
those passages Of less compelling at
tention, one can contemplate what
has happened to Robert Taylor. Under
the spell Of Garbo he climbs to the
stature of an actor in the role Of Ar
mand. Not always does he seem ade-
quate, but his failures do not occur at
those crucial moments when he must
match her fire with similar emotion,
her grief with equivalent torment, and
her ecstasy with his own.
Taylor comes through his greatest
screen test with more than many sus-
pected him Of having in the way Of
talent. Whether he owes 1t to the
Inspiration Of the woman with whom
he plays, his next picture will tell.
He was Carlos personal choice for
the role Of Armand, the handsome
youth who perceives the inner beauty
Of Camille where other men had found
only maddening attractiveness. She
never lets him fail in those numerous
sequences where the action Of the
story lies In their hands.
