SOME of the renders of this page, bless their romantic little hearts, kccui to doubt nn ncscitlon made here the other day that most of the credit fqr the acting that tlicy love to untch on the screen should go to the director. They Imply can't believe that it ibn't just what It appears to be spontaneous emotion, deeply felt and ably expressed by the actor or the actress they hne come to wor- In making the assertion I did, T was careful to explain that most of the really big stars arc true actors and actresses. They do feel emotion and they enn express It wonderfully, nut even they constantly get advice, if not down right orders, from their directors, and the wise star docs pretty much what the director wants. With the minor characters, however, and with most leading men nnd women, tho things von see them do on the screen arc the things the director instructs them to do:' they express emotion his way, nnd I've known directors to get mighty hard-boiled with iome of them before the thing was done satisfactorily. And today I had nn excellent illustration of thii cry point. I wandered up to the Itobcrtson-Cole studio, on West Forty-third street (It's west, all right; they couldu t put It much farther west without loading It on a xhlp for Europe), and I sat ntound for just llfty minutes watching William Christy Cabannc (you pronounce that Cnban-uy, with tho uccont on the "ay") rehearse two people for n scene that took one minute t shoot the iirtt time and one minute and twenty Itcconds the second time. 1 timed 'em by my watch bet-auto I wnntid to give jou as accurate an Illustration of my point as possible. THEY weren't bonchcads. those two people. Thiy were both the kind of folks chn arc rated a excellent actors, and you will simply love them tchen you sec them on the screen. Hut they tcerc too eloir " ro their acting to get the proper perspective and they had studied their own parts to the exclusion of the big trend of the thunc of the story. . TlIIE director had fairly lived with that t-tory for weeks. He knew the exnet relation of every phase of emotion to every other phase: he had carefully planned the whole thing to give the most dramatic effect to it ns a whole. And he knew exactly the shades of joy nnd sorrow each person hud to express in order to carry along the big idea. The story is "The Barricade," by Dr. Daniel Carson Goodman, who wrote "The Wonder Man." This one is a tale of the contrails of New York. It starts in the squalor of the East Side, goes to tho homes nnd the hnunts of the wealthy nnd ends in the East Side again. And the director ha gathered a wonderful lot of hast Side types. He is putting across his atmosphere so carefully that, during the rehearsnls and the shooting, ho hns some of his (plaintext characters speak their liu" In their native Yiddish so that they will feel more natural us the cameras grind. The scene I speak of is one between n nung Jewish girl and her husband. A haniNomc chap has come into their lives and the husband flares up into sudden and fierce jealousy. He pulls the girl alde and orders her to pay no more atten tion to the other man. And she poutingly claims that she is doing no wrong, and tries to pacify him. It wns this lasf part of the Incident that I saw rehearsed over una over ni?nin for fiftv minutes. It wouldn't be fair to give ou the name of the jming actress. You'll love the way she does It on the screen, so it wouldn t be nice to tell you how very hard it was to make her do it right. yOU see. she had the direct, simple, straightforward idea of the part ichieh comes from only a superficial study. Cabannc, however, had gone more deeply into the character of the young wife; he had found it a complex mixture of straightforwardness and knowledge of wrong doing, and he knew that, in that particular scene with her husband, all of the difjeicnt emotions had to be expressed to show the inner working of her mind. FIRST, he himself went through it with the young husband, the girl standing by and watching. And the director explained to her everything that he did and just why the voung wife would have done the s.amc things. Then he had her rehearse it. Some of it she got right; most of It was Cabanne got up nnd went through it himself again. Then he talked to the actress, reminding her of the story and the character of the woman, and urging her to FEEL it, rather than merely to try to carry out his directions mechnni- cully h Time after time they went over it with varying degrees of success. The girl began to tire nnd lose interest. Cabanne began to get hard-boiled. He had to. He -aw her ejes wandering over to where some of her friends sat off-stage and he had to frighten her hack to a realization of her duties. "You luiicn't got it right." he thundered, "but jou're going to stay here nnd stick ut it until ou DO get it right." At tho end of fifty minutes he ordered "lights" and "camera and they Harted to shoot it Sixty seconds nfterward he btopped them. It wasn't satis factory. He shrugged hi shoulders and declared a rest for a few minutes. Then they went at it again. Tills time the camera men ground for one minute and twenty seconds. "All right," said Cabanne. He went over nnd put his hands on the shoulders of the girl. "I'm sorry I was rough," he said kindly. "Sometimes I have to be, you know. If I weren't, you'd never get anywhere." S 0, yEXT time you see a title mpaticnt and mutter. 'Wint do with the oirture.' Once you familiarise yourself with the names of the best known dirrcoM and their work, you can come pretty close to telling, when you sec n picture advertised, that it will be worth seeing. For the big directors who are in the game today seldom put across a mediocre -piece of work: they If 1ii? their actors act in spite of the fact that the actors get all the credit.

Miss Mortland, to save Annette, writes the (story of her oicft traolo love affair with Wrllf. intrndlna to send it to Annette so she may know tho kind of man he is. She tells bote, while a pianist in a movie theatre in a Western Penn sylvania town, she met Welles when he made a "personal appearance there, how he invited her to come to New York and said he would place her in the movies, how she came and the chilly reception which ho gave her in the studio. Then, becoming interested in her, he pets her a job in a small town stock company for the experience, promising to see her often, . . . The manager insults her and she leaves, finally getting into pictures in New York, Here she works with Welles. lie makes love to her, pro poses and sho is deliriously happy until another woman reveals n dies perfidy. Then she quits him and the company. Here the Story Continues HE LOOKED at me reproachfully. "Why? You know why. Why did you ran nwny? I've been waiting to hear from you. How could you have brought yourself to listen to that silly talk of Miss Audrey! .It wasn't like you, Nella ! You don't know how you hurt rao! I felt that I could never go to you ngnln. You can't realize what a hard struggle I've had to bring my self to this. But since I have so far humbled myself, can't you meet me half way? Can't you forgive nnd forget? Was there ever a man who knew so well how to mako love? Thnt velvety purr of tho voice! That Ingratiating charm of manner! That humility nnd utter self-abasement! I was carried nlong by him. I tried mv best to resist. I kent telling my self: "You will regret yielding now nil your life. Be firm. Stand by your decision. Your eyes have been opened once for all. Do not be beguiled into forrcttine the lesson that it has cost bo much to learn. You know what he Is." "But what she said was true," I managed to say. "True In n sense. I confess that until I met you I wns n different per son; a rather bad sort, I'm afraid. But since then you. Nelln. you have changed everything in me." I felt the forco of his argument. Perhaps, after all, he was telliug the truth. Ho may have really loved me. And thnt love may nave worked a change in him. How could I question It. when my heart cried out : "Be lieve"? "But it was true," I urged. "And that's all you thought of me!" "Nella. do you remember thnt aft ernoon on the cliffs? You did not doubt mo then," he whispered. I shut my eyes thnt he should not eeo the rush of hannv tears. If he had taken my hnndH then, I should have been lost! (Yet should I say "lost"? I ask myself. Is it not what I am dreaming of even now? That he should come back to me and beg my forgive ness nnd tho renewed gift of my love?) But In that moment's pause, a ter rible thought came to me that fairly scared my heart, and sent back the warm tide of my reawakened love. It suddenly flashed into my brain that ho had been content to do without me so long us I was unknown. Thnt ho had waited until I wns famous before com ing. Well he knew how great a prize I was for a moving-picture director! Now. I could make him. as well ns bring money into his pockets ! And I recalled nil that I had ever heard about him. And I remembered that he had made love this way to so many others. And the moment of true Insight that I hnd had when I left him, came back to inc. I felt both humiliated and ashnmed. And the shntue wns not nil for myself. Suddenly, the panther within me awoke. I fairly turned upon him. "Mr. We'les," I burst out, "I renlize perfectly why you have come. I'm fnmous now! Will you please go?" The colosbal conceit of the man ! Even then he did not dream that any girl could hold out ngainst him. "Nella," he cried, "have you for gotten our great love?" I experienced a completo revulsion of feeling. How dared he speak of "our grcnt love" in so casual a way! 1'llOTOri.AYfl MOTMiiYr "tmA I) xrtaaaw, CUMFAMY W OTAMtniCA ADA I ( G2D & THOMPSON STS.
