StroIs Thru Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 5. UP)-The
closeup and the "cutback'', with
which D. W. Griffith repolutionized
pictures during the early years of
the World war. had almost vanish
ed from the screen as 1897 began.
Griffith'S inventions, called the
greatest advances in the history of
picture-making, remained bases Of
production technique for two de-
cades. They're gone now, killed
by a combination of sound, all-star
casts and the Russian invented
"Montage" shot.
Advantage of the closeup was
that it permitted intimate pan
tomime of facial expression, elo-
quent compared to stiff subtitles of
silent pictures.
Possibly it would have remained
in use in spite OF the development
of sound, which could say in dial
ogue what silent actors had to eX-
press usually, had it not been for
the appearance of all-star casting.
The current mode for three
quarter and medium shots at closest
comes of the desire of producers to
use multi-star casts to fullest ad-
vantage by keeping them all before
the cameras eye as much as pos
sible, instead of cutting from one
closeup to another.
Cutbacks Ito previous action
were used chiefly to build moods
and explain motivation. They have
been replaced almost entirely by
"Montage" - such as flashes of
crowds, turning wheels, clocks in
dicating passage of time, and so
forth.

Frank Dobson subscribes to the
theory of running off tackle for

uses this great offensive weapon
for football.
Every element must coordinate
to make the play effective. The
short side lineman must leave his
station swiftly and run hard to be

University Of Detroit'S football
TitanS are in Washington today,
ready for their game with Cath
olic University at Griffith Sta
dium tomorrow night. This bat
tie of Notre Dame coached foot
ball elevens looms as one Of the
outstanding games of the week
end. Detroit is perennial threat to
ranking teams, and the Flying
Cardinals, undermanned as they
are, have played smashing, high
grade football in their games to
date.
Bergman is just a few shades
grayer of thatch today. He says
he fears the Titans, and he is tell.
ing the absolute truth. But Gus
Dorais, quarterback of the i'm
mortal Rockne's team, will admit
that he fears the Cardinals and
their crafty head coach.
STRONG LINE
I'VE have ample reports on
the Cards game with Loyola Of
the South" Dorais said today.
He has been in the East for
several days, and tonight will
discuss the game and its posi-
bilities over the radio. They
played a hard-hitting, clever
game from start to finish. Their
line stopped Clay Calhoun. who
is known throughout the South
as a great line bucker. Well
have to be good to win"
Well, the record in preliminary
games shows that the Titans are
good. Frankas can smash a line
with the best of them, and
Palumbo is passing ace. White,
at center, is a terrific charger,
whether on attack or defense, and
his passing is just about perfect.
Beer is a heady player at left
tackle, and captain Cieslak al
right tackle will take care Of his
station. Not only in starting
strength are the Titans powerful
but they go three deep in reserve:
at most positions. Which mean.
that the Cards are not scrappine
a team, but three teams, and i
they win in the face of such oppo
sltion they'll be doing something
worth while.
