. v Theaters ‘ ~ E have had our little peep into the domestic difficulties of the theater by long-distance telephone and through other eyes. . know, however, that the theater will not be closed the coming fall and winter, and that the actors, as a rule, will not change their means will fight each other, and sometimes with such realism that the world will be misled into the belief that a real war is on. All this is a part . manager and that actor have to say of one another help the interest in the theatér amazingly and make a fine asset in advertising, or, as art many a bad play good and many a poor actor great. It is a part of the game of make-believe, and the publig is familiar with it. T when the clouds have rolled by we find both actor and manager back at the old stand ready to smile with success or to bluff through | a failure. The coming season Wi out th N have preceded it, no doubt, with here a bright bit of new entertainment and struggle of art tp rise above the clouds of commercialism; a thrilling moment when success seems likely and then the same old engine trouble, rest in this country simply because no one can prevent it. ) * % Kk K M the generic term, the revue, the extravaganza, the comic opera— with new names are legion. Some of them may be tried out in Wash- ington, one of the familiar dogs of the theatrical circuit; others will find the map. It is a bit soon to discuss any of them, or. indeed, to contem- plate in advance the probable booking for the new season. News from play, “The Detour.” by Owen Davis, and a genuine black eye to “The Elton Mo raise the hope that the playwrights may evolve something new and better than we have been long accustomed to. Of the seventeen plays some, of course, will die a-bornin’, others will probably trudge along on crutches to an_early demise, and there may be—doubtless will bé—some sending on the road to shiit for themselves.

THE insensitiveness of photographic negative to many colors necessitates resorting to many substitutions for the sake; of realism in photoplays. The scribbled note from the maiden in. dis- tress that is thrown on the screen was not writfen with the black stub pencil the audience saw her use. It was writ- ten with a red crayon by someone in the title department of the studio, for red photographs even blacker than black. A king clad in his purple coronation robes could never pass inspection with a motion plcture director. Purple pho- tographs gray. A monarch in gray vest- ments would have no more chance with a cynical audience than a Marquesas islander in evening clothes. The same problem in photographing colors arose- recently at Universal City when the subtitles were being prepared for an Eddie Polo serial, “Do or Die.” A telegram supposed to have been re- celved in England was to be thrown on the screen, and the title department was searching for the proper kind of blank on which to typewrite the message. All the English telegraphic blanks available had biue headings. As blue photograph: white; blanks of, that color would not look genuine in a film. It was meces- sary to hold up that particular subtitle until the proper form could be printed in_different colors. Perhaps few movie “fans” . have no- ticed that almost all telegrams received in photoplays are sent Western Union. This company has a monoj because its blanks have a black heading,. while those of the Postal Telegraph Company are printed in blue. - - persons have asked why mation picture actors put on.so much, makeup. Under the hard white lights used in the studios, if the players were not made up properly the hands and faces woul appear dark and the players would like negroes. The idiosyncrasies.of the photographic lens also make it difficult to have a suit of clothes look. shabby. A player's trousers may be baggy at the knees, but the fact it barely noticeable on the screen. A light suit may look a little worse for wear in a film, but it takes close-up to reveal that dark-colored rai- ment needs pressing. = ‘These are only & few instances:of | Preston Marshall, why substitutes sometimes look more real on the screen than the genuine articles. And with the increasing de- mand for realism in pictures and the | familiarity of most of the public with the tricks of the stage and studio, the 8successful director has to be cons:antly on the alert to escape the caustic criti- cism that errors in details always bring. i New Producing Company Here.
