EVENING PUBLIC LEDGERPHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 111' 1921 J-. y- ;vr CLOSE-UPS of the MOVIE GAME II)' 1IHN1IY The Movies Sure Hit the Doldrums Last Week IT WAS a weary Job trying to dig up boiiiothlng .startling In the movie Industry In New York last neck. Everybody seoinetl to have entrrcd on a period of marking time previous to tlie hoped-for rnMi of production In the foil. It may not be nu'te fnlr to nay "marking time." Everywhere 1 wont they explained that productions hod just ben finished, and the new ones were not I ready to start yet. Kvcrjbody around the studios denied that there was any hint of the industry having struck the doldrums. Hut, In spite of this brave attempt to explain it in the most hopeful spirit, I found a most unmistakable feeling of uneasiness deep underneath. Every one N looking for changes, for reorganizations, for new affiliations that will leave the positions of the old ones problematical. These potential upheavals ore in the business and distribution offices which, of course, makes them, on the surface, of ver. little interest to the movie fan. Yet he Is the one who will be most affected by the results. It is difficult to get nn.xbod) of real authority to discuss the situation There la a general tendency to hold ever thing tempororll in abeyance until Bomebodj baa the nerve to throw his cards on the tublo and demand a new denl all around I doubt If there is a man In the bulness who doesn't grudgingly admit to himself that, somehow or other, the public has got to get better pictures and at lower prices. Hut nobodj wants to start it. PRESEXT contract in nil departments of the industry nrr ton high ml these rontrncti include everything stir nnd director salaries, office overhead, production cost, distribution, shocking duplication, criminal wastage and quantity far in excess of what is possible with real quality. But of count, tee nil believe the other fellow ought to be willmij to take leu for his work, and if he will, wr will mebbe. And mebbe not principnli not. That's the way the inovio business looks to me today, THIS condition wo not responsible for all of the gravejord nlr that hung about the New York studios last week. It na n romblnation of circumstances that brought ubout an inactivity never matched before and probably not likely to be met again. The great I.asky studio on Long Island was closed and the people had been Mnt either to California or to the Hritish studio. Nobody seemed to know just when the Long Island plant would reopen ; there were rumors along the Klalto that Cosmopolitan was trying to buy it, but official of both organizations pro fexsed not to have heard any such reports Cosmopolitan's big place up on Second avenue was also shut, and the floor was absolutely clear for the first time In so long tlint nobody can remember when I This was because both Marlon Davits and Tom Torriss had Mulshed tlielr pictures at about the same time and things were not ready for them to start on their next. Uoth of the Talmadges ore still vacationing. Norma is expected back ome time next week to begin work on "Smllln" Through." but Constance will not return for about six weeks. Griffith is busy at Mamaroncrk on "The Two Orphans." nnd was scheduled to shoot the big garden scenes Pridnj and Saturdav. but the rain the early part of the week prevented the completion of the sets and that studio hit the doll drums too Vitagraph had onlj one minor compan.x working. Fox was ubout cleaning up thn two apcdalK I wrote about some time ago. and (ieorgc yeitz and Charles Hutchinson, the Pathe people, were away on location somewhere around Aiibahle Chasm. Selznick was working only one company out of five nt Fort Lee. Cabanue Wan cleaning up on "The Unrrlcade" at the Robertson -Cole plant, and Warner was only preparing to begin work on a special with Vera (Jordon In the old Blograph studio. They will probablj start in about ten days or tw'o weeks. Hope Hampton is looking for a story, and the Rollins, having finished "Journey's End," are in Hermudn. Johnny Hlnes, with "Hum 'Em l'p Barnes" ready for the market, is taking things easj. 1ITHEX you consider the dozen of ntudios there me in nnd about 'ric York, this isn't a very eiciting tecord of activity. Vet with all the undercurrent of uneasiness, there it a still deeper feeling that the. turn is going to come very soon. There will be a period of unpleasant readjusting and then the upicard climb, lay Barnes, Oliver Morocco's personal representative, declares the climb xtill come early in the winter, "I believe the public will be going to the movies as they used to do," he said. "But 1 also believe the producers icill have to give them better itotics at lower price." MODERN METHODS USED TO REPRODUCE CITIES IN MOVIES TID you know that by photograph - J ing a yardstick. three-foot rule, an ordinary any building or woik of art ran be reproduced on the motion -picture ' proper thing to do would be to look screen? I self-conscious and say nothing, but if For those who have marveled how it'jou're asking me what my faults are was done when they have seen in photo plays reproductions of world-famous buildings the explanation is simple. "Suppose we need the picture of a certain English street for "Sacred and Profane Love' or some other picture," raid Max Pnrker, art director at the 'Famoua Players studio. "Wo wire to our English office for a photograph of the scene desired specifying thnt a three-foot rule be set up along side the ' bnlldlnc to be reproduced. ' "With Just this measure as a guiue can reproduce to the fractional part i (of n inch a single building or a whole ' town if necessary. Reproducing Lon- . don in Hollywood is not gue.ss work through this very simple process we' cin make a creation so accurate that 1 denizens of the original district can find no fault. "Another Important value of this method of measuring comes when we hare many scenes around the door of a house, for instance. Perhaps at the nousc used for exteriors the situation nt the door Is surh thnt we lanuot get the correct sort of light. Then we reproduce the door nt the studio, perhaps manv miles away from the 'location,' ns was done in George Melford's 'The Great Impersonation.' Even in reproducing costumes nnd properties a measure within the photo graph is of utmost importance. A six inch rule aids tremendously when we want the kind of uniform worn b policemen in Slum or something of similar import. "Even experts erred in the days when we made sets from oral description Rut 'the camera never lies, especially wheu thorc's a three-foot rule in the fore ground."

Mis Mortland, to save Annette, writes the story of her oicn frnpt'o love affair with Welles, intending to send it to Annette so she may knoio the kind of man he is, , , . . She tells how, ichile a pianist in a movie theatre in a Western Penn sylvania totcn, she met Welles xchen 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 redtption which he gave her in the studio. Then, becoming interested in her, he gets her a job, makes love to her, proposes and she is deliriously happy until another woman reveals Welles' perfidy. Then she quits him and the company. Lattr, when she has achieved fame, U'clfrs reappears and tries to renew his love-making, but she knows he wants her for her value as a film favorite in his pictures, and she repulses him. Desperate, she writes a photoplay full of dangerous "stunts," and she and H , her director, who has stood by her in all her troubles, prepare to film it. Here the Story Continues For a moment T feared that the whole 'thing would hove to be postponed. Get ting another child at the last moment would cause n tiresome delay If not a postponement. I could hnve wept with vexation. I was all "keyed up" for my foolhardy exploit. No one knew better than I that such moods were transi tory. But II , who knew human nature In its many variants, soon fathomed the real cause of this sudden and un foreseen solicitude on the part of the child's guardian. I saw his face grow hard and stern. In a few moments ever thing wns arranged, every fear allayed and all by lidding a yellow backed bill to the sum which had been rnld iu advance for the child's serv ices. I experienced a complete revulsion of feeling. A few secords before 1 had hnd it sort of sympathy for the woman. Al though I felt that her fears were en tirely groundless, I told myself that a nervous person might easily invest the situation with imaginary tcrrorn. Now, in a reaction of disgust nt her sordid- ness, I crossed over to where II was standing nnd begged him to call the whole thing off for the time. Hut he pointed out to me that in compljing with her demands which practically amounted to blackmal' he wns saving money for the company. To bring the whole company out ngain would have put us to even n greater expense. Ho nt Inst nil was ready.

I do .not know what his thoughts were; but the only feeling I wns con scious of tvas that it was taking them nn immense deal of time to maneuver to let the row boat go, so that it would drift to the exact spot we had agreed upon. Then they stood off. The camera-man on the shore started to work; and Manton and I, running into the water, plunged into the, Icy tide. We shouted together in real enjoyment, while we swam nbout gleefully. He, too. was a good, strong swimmer. It was as much ofa lark for him as It was for me.
