Hollywood Behind the screen:
The subject of truth-versus-i ILLUSION
arose during q chat with Basil
Rathbone on the set of If I Were
King 1t all began because the
scene being filmed before us in
viewed a battle between soldiers and
bandits, and the bowmen were
equipped with rubber-tipped arrows
which still were dangerous at such
close quarters.
Anyway, Rathbone Is one who OBJ
jects to revealing tricks Of the mo-
vie trade. He would like to pre-
serve, as far as possible, the glamor
and mystery Of make-believe. And
he cited as an example Of destruc-
tive writing a recent story by an
other correspondent who cried
"Fake!" at the archery scenes in
Robin Hood"
He said" related the actor in
dignantly, that the closeups show
ing men being struck by arrows
were trick shots. and that the ar
rows actually were sewed to the
costumes. Now that Just isn't true.
Those men wore small steel breast
plates next their skin, and over the
plates were jackets Of cork In which
the arrows would stick. Those par
ticular arrows were steel-tipped
Shot by Howard Hill, who's marvel
ously accurate, they hit hard and
the victims had no trouble falling
realistically. know how hard they
hit because Hill shot a mace out OF
my hand"
CREDIT ETTER
THAN CRITICISM
I agree with Rathbone that the
accusation Of fake was unfair, but
do not agree that the real facts Of
the trick should not be explained
TO movie fans. No member OF any
audience will believe for an instant
that the men struck by arrows &C.
tually were killed. Is II not better
then, to give full credit to the mo-
vie-magicians who made such scenes
possible, and credit 10 the skill OF

Is utterly convinced of their reality.
The film concerns itself with the
first blazing story of this country's
migratory workers and aside from
the interest story itself, 1t has a
particular interest for admirers Of
the two stars in that 1t finally
shows O romance between them
happily consummated. Theatergo-
ers will remember that in the first
instance, -Four Daughters, they
were separated by death and In the
second, Daughters Courageous" by
Garfield's desertion.
Romance and happiness come to
them very early In the new picture,
for they are married almost at the
outset. But it's a shortlived happi-
ness, for they are forced to flee like
hunted animals from the officers OF
the law, who believe the boy has
murdered the girls drunken step
father, although the old man ac-
tually died of heart failure.
Besides the two stars the cast Of
the production includes Alan Hale,
