CLOSE-UPS of the
By HENRY
It's a Hard Job to Make Some of 'Em Really Act
New Yorlt, Aug. S.
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."

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.

This Is How the Story Begins:
JELLA MORELANI), most famous
i" of screen stars, hears that a
young girl, AmiicMc Wilkin, hat
fallen in love iclth Roland Welles,
an idol of the screen. 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!

it was one of those melodramatic af
