CLOSE-UPS of
By HENRY
They're Even Using Postcard's to Light Sets Now
IT 1'OU could sec a moving-picture film made (en years ago and then, Imme
diately afterward, view one just from a modern Rtudlo, you would be con
ne.ous of a vast difference In the general "lool:n" of the thing, though you
might not be able to explain just exactly whnt tho difference vn.
Not long ago I saw one of the old Estanny films showing Charlie Chaplin
and Ben Turpln together remember tlioe old days? It followed immediately
lifter Gladys Walton In "Short Skirt-" I think that was the title; I can't keep
m all straight in my hentu.
The difference was really startling. The Walton film was beautifully lighted
in every single sequence. There was a softness and a diffusion that was most
restful to the eye and the general effect was pleasing to the seusss. This Is true
of all the films put out nowadays by the big companies.
But the old Chaplin picture wax one glaring succession of hard, trying
whites and deep, sharp blncks; there were no half tones, no shadings, no boft
ness or roundness of faces or figure. And, by the way, it was Interesting to
note that there not not a rlosc-up in the two reels. That hasn't anything to
do with the subject of lighting; it's just interesting as another evidence of the
changes of recent years.
1 found my eyes were tired more by the two reels of the old stuff than by
the five reels of the Walton and two other short modern subjects we saw. The
glaring whites were murderous to vision: the sharply cut-out figures gave nu
odd tense of unrenlit to the whole thing which we were not conscious of In
the old days, but which is so different from what we are used to now that it
made the actors look like little more than animated marionettes.
I doubt If there Is any one branch of the movies which has made greatei
advances than this one of lighting. There is no branch more important, It Is
to lighting that we owe, to n ver large extent, the amazing development of the
business and the possibility of talking seriou-l of its progress into the field of
the true arts.
FOR years nobody thought of using any but dirtct lujhtma method
that is, allowing the rays from a lamp or the sun to fall directly
upon the object to he photographed. Urdecting surface were used to
help out and to lighten shadows, but reflected light teas never considered
seriously. Voir, however, according to word from the Lasky California
studios, after a long series of erperimints, this tdfo i likely to be
absolutely reversed.
K
.VEN the lowly postcard Is playing
has been discovered that the highest eificlency in reflected light can
obtained from a surface about the size and color of the postcard.
Mot unusual lighting effects hove lately been accomplished largely
reflected rays, According to Frederick S. SHIN, electrical Illuminating engineer
at the T.asky studios.
"We have found." writes Mr. Mills, "that r large set is best lighted by
searchlights eoncentroted upou a tinfoil or ripple-surface minor and "kicked
back' upon the set itself."
There are various kinds of reflectors the white mat surface ; the creamv
tinted surface; the ordinary mirror and the Trench rippled mirror. These are
of all sizes and shapes and the Lasky studio has a lnrgo equipment to suit even
need.
When the sun is the souice of light, n-s in an exterior scene, the tinfoil or
nat-surface reflectors ure used and by raining the rays of the sun reflect them
upon the faces of the uctors or upon certain part of the setting ThU method is
also frequently used in taking whnt are termed "still" photographs to get
light on n face that would otherwise be shadowed. Thus light urn be thrown
under the drooping hat brim of a woman so that the camera's eye cau hne light
enough to impress the feature clearly on the film.
The reflection with these surfaces is diffused In character, us opposed to
the "specular" reflection gained by a higher-powered surface. There is a certain
loss of efficiency by absorption, dependent on the class of reflector. The post
card with its creamy color has teen found to be most efficient because it does not
Absorb the light like tinfoil.
...
XlTIIEIiE an effect of sunlight through a window or door is destred the
TV mirror is employed, sending a brilliant ray or beam of light by ichtch
means some beautiful effects air obtained. Sometimes it is necessary to
place a small mirror or a rod or brace behind or aborc the head of a per
son in a scene where it would be impossible to use a direct spotlight.
The spotlight placed elsewhere is dnected upon the rumor and the neces
iarv backlighting obtained.
ON LARGE sets whre a multiplicity of spotlights would ghe a light uneven
In tone and cause an unnatural effect an 'enormous reflector is hung high
in the back and the powerful beam of a searchlight directed upon It This is
"kicked bock." to use a technical phrase, upon the set and the whole srene is
evenly illuminated. ThK is, of course, only possible where seart blights of
greut power, like the famous sunlight arcs, are included in the equipment
It must be remembcied that for a long shot a slinrper light is required
necessitating the use of mirror reflectors. If it is a close-up. a softer and more
diffused surface is employed
Indirect lighting i a highly tcchnual phni-o of lighting and when the work
Is done inside the studio. Mr. Mills ,ays. he generally plans the anangements
of reflectors with the electricians and cameramen of the unit. Where u distant
location is used and sUn is the souice of light or even artificial illumination is
employed the cameramen and electricians with tho company must bo able to
figure it out for themselves. Thus it i essential that a first-class cameraman
know the values of reflected as well ns direct lighting.
In these das of perfect photography for the photoplav it is necearv for
every man engaged In their making to know his branch of work thoroughly 'Only
In this way can the beautiful effects and the roundness f.o much desired be
obtained : only In this way can the star be supplied with the qualitv of Ilbt best
uited to his or her complexion. '
It Is quite possible to make a pronounced blonde look like r perfect brunette
by means of Improper lighting. "

JAMES HIRKWOOD
Whose return to tho screen as a
lending man has gladdened many
hearts. He is to do "The .Man
From Home."
bf. Wc might have to report for 0
o'clock in the morning, but he'd nirlye
at 1 In the afternoon, just letting us
sit around nnd wait nil that time.
And he was exceptionally disagree
able to me. ' He'd steal 6ccnes when
ever iic coujd make me turn nwny from
the camera In order to face him. by
standing back of ine, for instance. When
the burden of the action fell on me,
he'd move about so that the attention
of the nudlen.ee would bo divided be
tween us. If he hnd n close-up and
oh, how many he had ! and it came in
n part of tne story wnero i was sup
posed to be talking to him, he'd make
me "stand outside," aa we say that
is, stand out of the camera's range and
say whatever it was that I was sup
posed in the story to be sa.Wng. But
if I had one, which rarely happened,
some extra or the jsslstnnt director or
most anybody could mumble over the
lines for me.
You see, it makes all the difference in
the world how the star with whom you
ore pln.Wng acts. For exnmplc, lending
men who have played with Norma Tnl
mndge always rave nbout her. They
can't say enough about how wonderful
it Is to work with her. I asked one of
them a while ago why it wns.i
"Norma's so generous," he nnswered.
"If you give her nil thing if you do
an thing nt nil that makes n bit of ac
tion go better for her, she'll do ns much
for you the first chance she gets. She's
just iih muili interested in helping you
put your stuff over ns she is in getting
her own to go big."
You can see how much that would
mean, nnd how serious might tfe the
difficulty of working with somebody who
didn't do It.
However, I get along fairly well.
Mr. Sandy had evidently told the direc
tor with whom I was working that he
waa to iielp me as much as possible,
with a view to seeing what I could do.
And so. when the star wasn't there,
the director used to work with me,
coaching me in expressing various cino
tlnns, showing me how to get various
iffects.
The cameraman worked with me,
loo, trying dlffeient systems of lighting.
Lighting makes nil the difference in tiic
world, you know. That's one reason
why sonic stars who look so young and
pretty on tho screen look so much older
off it. Lighting can take awuy bulgy
places under the ejes nnd conceal bad
lines. It can soften a harsh contour
nnd make n flabby one seem firm.
Sometimes when I went home at
night I'd simply sag with weariness.
But I didn't mind very muci, not even
when I wns most homesick. For after
this one production I wns to be ,i star!

"Sho got married suddcnlv," Teddlt
recounts. "I had just three rehenr.Ti
when I took her place. Very apprfl
priately, one of the dances I had t
give was 'The Wedding Glide.
j.i-3, it .vending ring is ns lucky to
me as n rabbit's foot or a white horn
to other superstitious people. I treat
it with nil the reverence it deserves,"
she declared.
"After breaking into the 'Weddini;
Glide ir London I stayed there for
beven yenrs. starring In E. Phillips Op
penhclm's 'The Eclipse,' also 'Hello
Ragtime.' 'Tails Up' and other nell
known favorites."
IT WAS the fourth marriage which '
brought Teddie into the limelight In
her own country again, however. After
seven years of the continent she ycarnei!
for her native country she was born
in New York and she came home for
a rest and visit. Motion pictures were
farthest from her mind. But little Dan
Cupid winked his roguish eye and
planned otherwise.
"My girl chum had been signed bj
Inspiration Pictures to play the hero
ine in. tho film version of 'The Cave
Girl,' " Teddie continued. "But at
the Inst minute she suddenly adopted
the woman's prerogative of changing
her mind, and instead of having a ro
mance before the camera she wcut to
the Little Church Around the Corner."
Yes Teddie stepped into the breach,
and "The Cave Girl" was the result of
bcr first appearance on the screen.
"Yes, mnrrlage has done n lot for
me," she said, at tea in her cozy studio
in Washington Square of New York
City. "It has taken me all over the
world to Cubu, Paris nnd London,
other European cities, nnd back te m;
own native land.
"It has brought me into dancint. "
speaking and singing pnits. and now it
has carried me into tho silent drama,
where I neither 'have to sing nor sneal,
I wonder where next it will lead," she
concludeded dreamily. "Wherever it
is, you can be sure I'll follow."
