HOLLYWOOD] €al, Feb.10 .—The backgrounds of fame are quicker-vanishing than fame itself. Artists and artisans work for days to frame an actor’s work. It takes the crew half an hour or less to “strike a when the actor’s work is done. Today Lewis Seiler is directing Jessie Busley and Aldrich Jowker in a rectory scene for “And It All Came True.” Una O'Connor is in it too, but her close-up is finished, and she’s just waiting. The rectory is a convincing background—book-lined walls, faded flowered carpet, a prie-dieu with a holy statue and candles. The scene is done. “Stage 16,” calls Russ Saunders, the assiste ant director, and the flurry begins . It's like a gnomish scene from, a Disney picture, the gnomes of the crew having no truck with make-believe. They're tearer-downers, breaker-uppers, movie- overs 5 Seiler walks over to 16, and Saunders, and Ernest Haller, the head lenser, and Bill Schurr, the “ope e camerman.” It's Frank Gaudio, the second camera, who sees to getting the camera hauled to the new scene of activities. no sooner has called “Stage 16” than the crew is ctricians are shuttering their lamps, wheeling them over to waiting trac Grips are folding back the carpet, to make sliding-space for wheels. Other grips are toting out a section of the wall with the rectory window. Propmen are there Saunde: in action to reclaim the prie-dieu, the statute, the candles, the chairs. loading stools, eanvas chairs, ladders, and assorted hernalia on to a truck at the big stage door. Jessie hed, is ing goodbyes. . { . in, hooks on to the mammoth blue A small tractor exclusively prop-truck, shuffles out again and down the studio ‘street between the high grey walls of the stages. . . . In 20 minutes there isn't a sign of the rectory set. . On Stage 16 the hegira is completed. The camera is there, and the lights are aready set up, and the mike is ready. It's a precinet police court, and the 'coppers are sitting around, await- ing the call to action, The grips and the electriians are busy set- ting up what they've just torn down—arranging the “baby spots” exactly, disposing of canvas chairs and toos and ladders out of camera range. ZaSu Pitts is there, in a red wig and net evehing dress and blue cape—ready to give the police her champagne- drunk report on Humphrey Bogart’s gangsterish threats. During all the meving and rattling and banging—it's like spring housecleaning day at home—Saunders and Seiler go over the dialogue with the police chief and with Pitts. Byt the time thing are fairly settled into quiet, ten minutes later, they're re- hearsing the scene at the bar of justice—interrupting themselves twice for a procedure that strikes the outsider as slightly loeco. This is when Miss Busley, recalled before she got away, stands under a mike and gasps “Oh!” and “Oh!" and again “Oh!™ She’s merely making sound-track for a scene she finished days before. Half an hour—and an entire film troupe has made the transi- tion from the rectory to the police station. The rectory is struck,” gone, dead, preserved only on film, Tomorrow, or the next day, or the day after, the new set will follow it.
