AL. Stone Admits
Inventing Idea
For Picture Show
It's Musical Movie in
Which Music Doesn't
Ruin the Plot
gv FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

by fKEDcHlSN - oiri"NN
HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 20. CUP
The wonder of it, inventor An
drew l.. Stone admitted yesterday,
is that nobody ever thought OF
such thing before; A musical
movie wherein the music doeSn l
ruin the plot.
These many years Hollywood
has been making musicals, with
lots of action and romance and
whatnot. But at intervals some
body steps up to the microphonc
and sings, while the story stops
dead in its tracks. The producers
of these pictures have wracked
their brains to bring in the mu-
steal numbers logically, but they
never have bothered much about
the audience, anxious to know VINO
is going to fall in love with whom.
being bored by songs which some
times seem intcrminablc.
Nobody worried, that is, except
Stone, inventor of complicated
niece of oil well machinery, orig.
inator of picture apparatus, ana
currently the director of the hrSt
musical movie in which the music
helps instead of boys down the ac-
ton. .o
The pictures called stolen
Heaven" II stars Gene Raymond
Olympic Bradna and Lewis stone,
and it's based on the adventures
of gang of jcwclry thieves VINO
mask their Skullduggcry by dis
guiSing themselves as musicians.
Stone wrote the story himself
so he'd be sure his musical theory
would have fair chance. Then
he persuaded Paramount to let
him make it. Everybody seems
satisfied to date, though the film
won't be completed for another
month.
"Therc isn't anything elaborate
or complicated about my idea'
Stone said. For instance you've
seen pictures with night club sets.
Somebody gets up and sings.
That's all to the good and PROB
ably they sing beautifully, but
the fact remains that all action
stops until the song is finished.
"In my picture there is a nlght
club scene, too, with n girl singing
a love song. But while she sings
the story continues. Things hap
pen in the cafe, under her very
nose. and even while the words
! are coming from her lips, her eyes
indicate that she's terrified.
"Thcrc is music throughout the
picture classical music at that,
| but nowhere does 1t subordinate
the action"
Stones idea is not as simple To
nut into practice aS he would IN
| dictate. II has ncccSSitatcd some
of the closest. Split-SccOnd timing
ever introduced in 4 photoplay
We had Il look at the script, on
which was typed the number OF
seconds every shot is to be plaEeu
Some are seven seconds, some 30
and one, actually, is listed ut nine
teen and one half!
Another thing that helps make
| the picture possible also was IN
vented by Stone. 1t is a trick Pho
lnograph regulator, whereby III
can play instantly any bar OF
music on any record. That doeSn''
| sound like much, but one OF The
main expenses in the production
of musical films is the FISHING
around for the proper bars OF
music for singing rchearsalS. II
usually takes six or eight minutes
for the sound man to get the rlgh'
music for the star to sing. Whel
this happens 20 or 80 times day
the wasted salaries mount into blt
money. Not an instant is being
lost on the "Stolen Heaven set
