and France come great producers,
directors, writer's, and actors.
THE HELNISMEN OF
THEATRICAL PRODUCTION
First and unsurpassed is Max
Reinhardt, creator of the German
theatre. Even the greatest actor,
such as Basserman, played under
his direction; and to have been his
pupil was in itself an entree to a
career. Now deprived of all that
he built, be begins again in Hol-
lywood, lends luster to the movies,
develops talent at his school.
Second in Importance to the
German stage was Professor Leo
pOld Jessner. He was for years
the head of the Stats Theater
(state-Owned) of Berlin. Third
among stage directors was Barn.
Owsky, just arrived.
Hailed here as great film
find" is young Kurt Benhardt.
Over there he had piloted such
stars as Marlene Dietrich and Con-
rad Veidt. His first American eff
fort, MY Love Came Back" re-
ceived rave notices, won him a
long-term contract. He is de-
lighted with American ways, es-
pecially with Hollywood where
Everybody call everybody 'darl-
ing It's marvellous! You don't
have to remember any names!"
Other tOp-nOtcherS, now on the
HOllyWOOded terrain, are Kurt RO-
bitschek, BerthOld Viertel, Ana
toll Iitvak, and Richard Oswald.
RObitschek was the foremost di-
rector of cabaret vaudeville, head
ed the Kabaret der KOmicker in
Berlin. BerthOld Viertel guided
productions for the second larg-
est theatre of that city. AnatOl
Litvak was the megaphOner for
"NIayerIing," BE Mine Tonight"
and other super foreign films
shown in the United States. His
first American pictures were "The
Woman / Love" and "TOVarich"
in 1887. Yuda Leman, an astrOn-
Omer before the FurOre, went to
the Holy Land, wrote, produced,
directed "Land of PROMISE" the
finest Palestinian film ever made.
1t was exhibited extensively, even
in the Far East. Since coming
here, he has been associated with
one of the local lots. Richard Os-
wald is best known to American
audiences for his horror film, "The
Living Dead" but was response
bic for a number of excellent Ger
man pictures on social subjects.

1t NAV be, therefore, that
