HE steel story which First Na- tional will ilm this Fall as one of the biggest “specials” of the year was written by Milton Slils, First Na- tional's famous actor. In this picture, titled “Men of Steel,” Sills will be starred, and will be supported, according to Earl Hud- son, who will supervise the production, by an unusually strong cast. Sev- eral of the players, recently placed under contract in Hollywood, will be GAYETY LADIES' CLUB THEATER Produced by Actors, Not Make-up, for Types. 1E picture of tomorrow will de- pend on actors who employ make- up to duplicate types, rather than actors who are types. This means a return to the actor of yesterday— the real actor, according to the pre- diction of Lon Chaney, king of make- up artists, prince of thrills. “The old-time actor had to play a different part every week,” says Chaney. “And did it by make-up. In the old days we did the same on the screen. . Then came the craze for types, and many a man who wa a type was not an actor, and th artistry of the picture suffered ac cordingly. “1 stayed with the make-up anc never showed my own face. They thought 1 was unique. I achievec a certain amount of success. Bu I worked hard for years to lear: what I knew—in barnstorming stock companies and one-night stands. “Rupert Jullan, who directed “Th Phantom of the Opera,” is an ol stage actor—with stage slant. H didn’t look for types, but for actor who could portray any type. H grabbed Jack Pratt, an old directo and stage star—and Jack enactes three characters—all Qifferent—witt greasepaint. “Ed Tracy is another—played th rat-catcher in & makeup almost a fearsome as my own. Anton Va verka, the famous old Kuropear actor, achleved marvels with make up. These people know how to use it knowledge gleaned from year of study, hard work and often hun ger. That {s how the real artist i born. “I grant you an amateur couldn™ do {t—perhaps that is why the type system arose. But, after all, the g0od old hard work on the stage is what makes the real actor.” brought East especially for this pro duction. ‘“‘Men of Steel” will be made by Eastern production units of First 2 tional. Much of the picture will b filmed in the steel mills at Gary, In diana, on the Mesaba iron range of Minnesota, and at the ore docks in ‘he Great Lakes. Interior scenes wil' be made at the New York studios. For years Sills has had such a story in mind. When he learned that First National was planning a steel plc ture he immediately went to work on his story. Hudson read it and pronounced it one of the best origi nal stories submitted to him in his years of screen experience. In the picture Sills will be seen as a forelgner who has come to America in the steerage with thousands of others seeking a living in the land of prom- e. He has found his way to the iron mines, where his living depends on his hands and his physical strength As the {ron ore comes from _the mines and makes its way by river. lake and rall to the steel center where it finally emerges as highly refined steel, 8o goes this foreigner in his refining process, finally coming forth a refined product, a real American— + compliment to steel.
