COLLEGIANS IN THE MOVIES
Editor's Note—The - following is the
fourth of a SC lieS of articles, written
on Hollywood life, by the editor of the
University of California Daily Tro
jan, whirh toil( be published in the
COLLEGIAN at regular intervals.
At last a man has been found who
believes four years spent in college
are worth while even if the student
doesn't graduate with a Phi Beta
Kapp:, key. Lloyd Corrigan, a Beta
from the University of California and
a member of the Paramount scenario
department, feels that the four years
of social contacts and rubbing shoul
ders with young men and women are
quite worth while.
Listen to what he says about col
lege life:
"Many people think that unless a
person knows definitely what he is
going to do when he.enters a univer
sity, he should not cbmc. I don't feel
that way. Any student will pick up
a few smatterings of education and
culture on account of environment.
To my mind, the individual who gets
everything out of college, except edu
cation, is far better equipped for life
than the person who gets nothing but
education. I don't mean to belittle
education, but I do mean to say that
education is not the only factor to
consider."
Scenario Writing
This man Corrigan has a personal
ity that is' pleasing and makes him
one of the easiestjmen in Hollywood
to interview. He makes you feel like
he in having a friendly chat and en
joying it immensely.
The writer talked etith Lloyd Cor
rigan for about an hour while he was
on the set where Clara Bow's 'Red
Hair," a picture which he adapted
from Elinor Glyn's story, was being
filmed..
Corrigan says that every scenario
writer strives to produce an original
story. While this is the aim of every
writer, there are two other types of
'stories. The first is adapting a story,
book or play for a picture and the
other type.of story work is assisting
n novelist or playwright.
Most writers know very little about
the technique involved in writing for
the screen and their work has to be
changed before it can be used. The
successful writer of scenarios knows
camera angles, how to give the prop
erty department tips on the properties
needed, and to convey to the director
the various types of action.
College Men as Writers
John Monk Saunders, a very suc
cessful short story writer, decided to
write sceneries, but before he started,
he spent several months learning how
pictures were made, and - how they
should be written. His first two stor
ies for Paramount, under whose ban
ner he is writing, were "Wings," and
"The Legion of the Condemned."
Saunders is a Sigma Chi from the
University of Washington.
Unless a writer can produce orig
inal stories his earnings are not very
high. Most of the writers in Holly
wood today are college graduates who
have made names as short story writ
ers, authors of feature articles or
playwrights.
While attending the University of
California, Corrigan took an active
part in - Little Theater work. Most
of his time was spent as an actor, al
though he wrote several short bits in
the form of one act plays. Follow
ing his graduation he entered motion
picture. work, and for a number of
months played with Raymond Griffith.
While working on a picture he injur
ed his foot, so turned to writing and
since that time has been one of the
lest consistent writers of stories for
the screen.
Time for Filming
After a story has been written or
a^ adaptation made, the average pic
ture takes from three to five weeks to
to filmed. The writer of the story
works about two weeks on it and
writer obtains a new idea, he writes
it into the story sometimes even while
then it goes to the title writer. The
picture is taken to the cutter, he
works about two weeks on it and

!then it goes to the title writer. The
title writer has one of the most dim
cult pieces of work to do of any indi
!vidual working on a picture and his
I work makes an interesting story.
Lloyd Corrigan believes that the
student who intends to do any writing
should take all the English and psy
chology he can get and engage in dra
matics if possible, if for nothing more
than to learn the things possible on a
I stage, and the fundamentals which
govern any play or picture. He be
lieves that having experience, meet
' ing people and really living are as im
portant as an • actual knowledge of
English. Corrigan sees life from the
standpoint of a young man, and his
very ideas; which have brought him
success, are marked and labeled with
the brand and fire of youth.
There seems to be one phase of mo
tion picture work for. which college
trained men and women are needed,
according to Jim Collins, head of the
Parkmount make-up department. The
vetei-an of the Paramount studio says
he can't think of a single college train
ed man or woman who holds a re
sponsible make-up position in Holly
wood.
Naturally, one is quite interested
to find a department in which colleg
ians play such a small part. Collins
says that there aren't twenty good
make-up artists in Hollywood. He
says he has a harder time securing
men than any other department of
the. studio because good make-up men
just can't be found.
Make-up work requires years of ex
perience, and small pay in the early
years of work, and Collins finds that
most college men and women want to
start earning real money when they
finish their schooling. Every man in
his department is forty years old, or
more, and some of theni have been in
the make-up business nearly that
long.
Collins feels that a college training
would help him since the greatest of
many great Abilities, as he sees it, is
to be able to meet people. Every day
he must come in contact with a
large number of people, and each one
presents a different problem.
This department is very complicated
from the standpoint of unit work. All
the wigs and hair styles are haridled
by one man. All the odd expressions
which come from false teeth, cars,
eyes, etc., are handled by still another
expert. Each step is handled by a
specialist. • ' ;
Make-up advances very rapidly and
Collins says that Germany and France
are now, where Hollywood , was ten
years ago. Just because those court-
Itries have famous artists and painters
is no reason that they could surpass
the United States in make-up, since
they are entirely different Sciences.
Collins names men like Emil. Jennings
and Lon . Chaney as examples of make
up experts who learned the secret
through years of work on the stage.
In short, if a college man wanted
to become a make-up expert he would
have to plan on spending ten or fif
teen years just learning the funda
mentals of the business. Studios are
looking to the stage to produce make
up experts. It seems that this is one
little field where the college man and
woman have little hopes of becoming
a leader, unless years of work at small

pay doesn't seem too much of a handi
:cap.
Three of the six members of the
Paramount studio art department are
university graduates and Van Nest
Polgiaze, head of department, says
that when any new are needed ho
wants college trained individuals.
Polglaze, himself not a college man,
says he finds the need of a university
training every day. When he makes
a report to the studio heads, to an art
guild, or talks with a director he feels,
he works under a handicap since it
was not bis good fortune to have much
schooling.
The work of the art or architectural
department in a motion picture plant
I is varied and calls for a combination
of artistic and business abilities above
the ordinary.
When a picture, or story for one is
selected, a member of the art depart
ment is assigned to the production and
he is in charge of all the sets and the
art work you see in the final picture.
Fred Ford, a graduate of Yale, was
in charge of the art work for Clara
Bow's "Ladies of the WI)," which was
directed by William Wellman. To be
sure he had the right effect for the
prison scenes, Ford spent two days
and one night at the California state
prison at Folsom.

Phelps Comments on Speaker
iMr.- Dryden Phelps, son of Dr.
lion -Lyon Phelps, head of the Yale
English department, heard a series of
addresses by Dr. Eddy at Asilomar
and commenting afterward said, "Eddy
lis neither genius nor giant, It ap
pears almost obvious that he has been
caught by a power and a way of life
neither too lofty nor too intricate for
even the average fellow. That power
is Christ, and the way of life is Chris
tian but lived-without eqtrivocation , or
excuse, daily renewed, daily expand-,
ing. I, came away from the confer
ence asking the 'question, 'Why are
there not morn Eddyo?'"
:Dr. Eddy is Associate General See
rotary of - the National Council of the
Y. M. C. A. He maintains his office at
347 Madison Avenue, New York City,
arid finances all his travelling expens
es from his personal income. He does
not receive a salary for his present
work, nor did he accept a remunera
tion for his activity in the Orient.
Physical vigor, and mental alertness
are two of the ideal's of Dr. Eddy.

Mr. Phelps declares that he is fifty
eight but looks forty-tWo. "Eddy
doesn't need to argue, as his intense
sincerity is absolutely convincing,"
Mr. Phelps stated. "Today his Gospel
is simpler, more direct, more human
and has a keener cutting edge than
ten years ago." .
Dr. Eddy himself says, "When I get
up in the morning, I eat, breathe deep
ly, exercise. I take a cold shower and
do a little shadow boxing. So, in here
(pointing to his heart) I nourish my
self by reading the Bible, I breathe
deeply—that's prayer, I exercise—
that is sharing this life with others.
That is all there is to it."
