His Heart Is in Good Cry, Not in Laugh
Director John M Stahl Finds Making Women Weep
Is Sure Formula for Film Success
HOLLYWOOD.

Make 'em weep! There's MOTH
when you're crying over some one
elses woes. If you can make movie
fans reach for that handkerchief
or choke back a sniff1e, you've got
'em in the palm of your hand"
That, briefly, is Director John NJ
Stahl's box office formula, and, with
few exceptions, he has stuck rigid
ly to it over 20 years of movie max
ing.

of Life Both films did a pretty
thorough job of draining audience
tear ducts, at the same time filling
the Golfers of studios releasing them.
The pair, along with a dozen othe~
outstanding hits of the lachrymai
variety, bore the Stahl trade mark.
His few efforts at lighter drama
have not been nearly so successful
because Stahl's heart is in good
cry, not in a laugh.
You can easily forget that YOU
laughed at the big fat man who
slipped on banana peel" he says.
But what makes you cry stays down
deep in your consciousness for a
very long time. A heart-tug is a
hundred times more effective than
a loud guffaw. I know, because
I've tried them both.
Il don't know many men fond
Of crying over a movie, but the
women love it-provided their emo
tlons are worked up in a reasonable,
logical manner. And Ill cater to
the women-folks any time. The
women give show shopping lot of
thought. Men are inclined to be
casual. and thus are easily led.
They buy the tickets, of course. but
It's the women who lead them up
to the chosen box office"
Stahl is sometimes referred to
as the "Belasco of the Movies" be-
cause he bears a startling reSem-
blance to that late-departed genius

1t requires some courage, and

for husband to admit he buys his
Wife's clothes.
Alan Dinehart, motion picture
villain, is the husband we're talk

you buy Mrs. Dinehart's clothes?"
"It is" he answered readily. II

I know lines and materials. But
I'm no expert.

Does Mr. Dinehart believe he is
a good shopper?
II do.
Women are bargain hunters, but
they get sold onto things they don't
need. The saleslady will say, My

Does Mrs. Dinehart believe her
husband is good shopper?
Mr.. Dinehart:
Yes, she does. She likes my
taste, which runs to simple lines.
No fluftlness or frilliness. But she
doesn't like everything I get her.
She sometimes sends things back.
Il figure my score on pleasing
her is about 65 per cent, Pretty
good, huh?"
To complete the record, Mrs.
Dinehart is considered well dressed.

More Jobs Depend on More
Employers Says Bobson

leaders may serve them better at
times by urging reduction in
wages or an increase in hours. The
current theory about hours is wrong.
Reducing hours ultimately increases
prices so that the net result is a
loss in the number of jobs. Only as
more is produced, is there more to
divide.
90 Restriction and regulation as
To building operations and other
new plans of employers should be
temporarily lifted. Every kind OF
handicap today is placed upon a
man who wishes to build new

addition on his plant. 1 recently

they must get a little more each
year for their members in order to
hold their jobs and collect their
