love scenes. A great lover needs to
have a strip of meanness in him. If
he is too placid he cannot fascinate
either his leading ladies or his future
audiences. When he is hungry he is
dangerous. Then he makes dan
gerous love scenes. They are beau
tiful. They are not what I call
after lunch love-
Before lunch, Flynn he snarls
like tiger. After he eats he purrs
like cat BAH That is not good
for motion picture love"
Nearly all directors agree with
this, at least in part. As a rule, love
scenes are filmed either during the
morning hours or late in the after
moons after the lethargic effects of
lunch have worn of.
Even James Cagney. who eats
lightly at noon. preferred to play his
romantic scenes with Ann Sheridan

morning hours. Ann agreed. Ann

co-star and current romantic inter-

pair play comedy in the afternoons
and held the morning hours in re-

making.

Turned Script Girl.
Miss Arzner did, despite the ap-
parent lack of opportunity for ad-
vancement. And so for three
months she banged out dialogue and
directions on the quickies of the
day.
Then she got her first break in
the chance to hold a script during
the filming of a Nazimova film.
And as script girl on the scene of
action she learned much about
picture making that was later to
stand her in good stead.

In between cutting jobs she wrote
scenarios.
1t was as result Of this last edit
ing job that Jesse Lssky asked her
to direct his Fashions for Women" ="
which catapulated Esther Ralston
to stardom.
Il took the assignment" Dorothy
recalls, "and found out promptly
what the word headache really
meant. Every night, after we fin
ished the days shooting, I was ready
to quit"
She stuck it out, though, and the
film was a huge success. That was
in 1927.
Her next assignment was to direct
"Ten Modern Commandments" and
she has followed with such hits as
"Craig's Wife" The Bride Wore
Red" Manhattan Cocktail" Sarah
and Son." "Merrily We Go To He'll"
Mana" Honor Among Lovers" and

Among the stars she has directed,
many of whom rose to fame as
result, were Clara Bow, Nancy Car

and Claudette Colbert.
She's Respected.
Despite her success in the directo-
rial field, other women have been
unable to duplicate her feat. She
stands alone, feminine Trojan
Horse" in the ranks of film directors
The reason, says Miss Arzner, is
not that women haven't the aptitude
for the job, but that the field today
is more restricted than it was back
in the formative period. Directors
are entrenched firmly in the indus
try and even men have difficulty
breaking in.
Women, who might be suspected
of catty tendencies when required to
take orders from another woman, re-
spect this quiet, trinity dressed direc-
tress as fully as their male COM
panions. There are no feminine
tantrums on her set.
In Dance, Girl, Dance" for ex-
ample, the proportion of women to
men in the cast is approximately two
to one, but there's no trouble at all.
Miss OHara, Lucille Ball, Virginia

anything less than a revolution
fails to make much of an impress

So Miss Arzner staged her first
uprising-overturned the tradition
requiring film editing to be done by
males and got herself a job as a
film cutter.
The wiseacres sneered. predicted
she'd be back tipping scripts in short
order. But they didn't reckon with
the fact that Dorothy Arzner was
aiming higher than film editing,
wasn't going to be stopped at this
intermediate stage.

Quietly she went ahead and
