Remove the sound track with all its dielog from “Bulldog Dru film with subi an exceptionally effective picture, with none of the stodgy deliberateness tha would render “The Letter” or “Madame | X" unbearable in silent form. It may even be possible that “Bull- | dog Drummond” would be much better | with subtitles instead of spoken dia- logue—but that is a matter of opinion, and therefore beyond argument. The important thing is that the makers of “Bulldog Drummond” have shown_ that the makers, with. or without sound, are still independert of the stage. Holly- borrow telent and ideas from v, as it has always done in the past, but its method of expression is still ess: entirely its own. T is difficult to place the credit for the surprising excellence of “Bulldog Drummond,” but it should probably | be assigned principally to F. Richard | Jones, the direct and Sidney Howard, | of two-recl comedies. His experience | was gained in an atmosphere of bath- | ing girls. bow-legged cops, custard pies and bricks. After he departed from the Sennett lot Mr. Jones had the benefit of instruction from_another master of | the movie art, Hal Roach. Sidney Howard, on the other hand, is | a stranger in the film factories. He was not educated in the Sennett school. He went from the University of Cali- | fornia to Harvard to study the drama | under Prof. George Pierce Baker, and | vived to become the winner of the | Pulziter_prize. _ Three of his play: “They Knew What They Wanted," “The Silver Cord” and “Ned McCobb’s | Daughter,” have been Theater Guild success2: Nevertheless, Mr. Howard did not | journey to Hollywood wearing the high hat of the Broadway cramatist. He went with the idea that something | might be made out of talking pictures bosides money. He realized that it was his mission to learn from the toilers of | the studios the principles of the | movies, and not to try to teach them | the principles of the speaking stage. | With the result that the dialogue in | “Bulldog Drummond”. is terse and keenly pointed byt never obtrusive. It is humorous in & commendably effort- less way and so intelligently restrained that it never interrupts or embarrasses the action. Furthermore, the fact that this pre- posterous melodrama doesn’t take. itself seriously is never flaunted offensively in the audience’s face. It could have been entirely too funny, in the manner of a tongue-in-the-cheek revival of a uperannuated thriller, but exactly the ight balanc is acheived between ham theatricalism and satirical kidding, and this is a tribute to the delicacy of the dialogue and to the skill and grace of the performance. * kK % AS to Ronald Colman, he, in my estimation, is by all odds the best actor that the talkies have revealed. His voice and his diction are perfectly | in character with his previously estab- lished personality. When his numerous admirers hear him speak for the first time they will not be disillusioned; on the contrary, they will be moved to ex- claim gratefully: “Why, he talks just the way he looks!"” s a matter of fact, it has been proved in recent months that practi- cally all the film stars “talk just the way they look.” XKspecially Clara Bow. (Copyright, 1929 From Now On—Talkies. ERNST LUBITSCH has made his| last silent picture with the com- | pletion of the John Barrymore-Camilla | Horn film, “Eternal Love.” his tenth American production. The German | director, around whom the cult of | cinema devotees rallied in days when | deft suggestion and story-telling by the camera were new in the movie, is him- self authority for the statement that henceforth he will devote himself to talking pictures. Lubitsch likes the talkies. He thinks they will have to retain most of the tricks of the screen and that they can g0 beyond both the stage and the silent zom ‘To. the making of talking pic- res he will apply his own technique of visual movement, short sentences in dialogue, establishment by the camera of background and situations with the dialogue moving the plot along. Confronted with the challenge that his theories of cinema work eliminated sub-titles and, presumably, conversa- tion, Lubitsch was asked during a re- cent New York visit how he reconciled talking pictures with his former tech- ductions. His enthusiactic approval of | nique. “I used lip movements as panto- ime and indicated thus that dialogue | was taking place,” he countered. Even now he does not intend to eliminate suggestion by obvious dialogue. The camera will continue to tell most of the story and in its old fashion. Now, though, "stories must be adult, One | must be careful in the choice of words, and that opens the door for intelligent suggestion. ~ Mr. Lubitsch considers silent versions of talking pictures stupid, just “gaping mouths that emit no sounds. “Eternal Love” was a silent film, as | have been all of Lubitsch's former pro- | the artistic ‘and technical merits of | sound with films is regarded in Holly- | wood as significant, It was in December, 1922, that Karl K.

The answer and Herr Lubitsch followed. | Tricks of the Trade. THOSE interested in the production of motion pictures, whether spe- cials, superspecials or superproductions, all terms mcaning but little to the movie fan, have also become used to stories detailing the immense cost of this or that picture or its elements. The big fizures serve to create an awe of admiration that is very often pro-| duced with a mediocrity of fact, but it makes the knowing ones smile. India, as the result of story and of song, has come to be regarded as some- thing to astonish the imagination of mankind with its wealth of beauty and pageantry. But out from India, the land of all this wealth, beauty and incomparable pageantry, has come a picture of ro- mance woven around what many have heard is the most beautiful temple of art in the world—the famous Taj Ma- hal, the love tribute of the Emperor | Shah Jahan to his favorite wife, who | died, as all mortals must, but early in | her career, “before her time,” so to speak. It is called “Shiraz” after its| outstanding character, the man whose | brain conceived it. | More than 10,000 extras, we are told, | were utilized to people the picture, its| slave market and court scenes, Seven- ty-five camels stalked with 30 elephants in its pageantry, in which 500 rare steeds of India were a feature.

Discretion Essential. ONTE BRICE, a supervisor at the Pathe Studios in Culver City, is searching assiduously for a nanny goat with discretion, the proper kind of so- prano voice and other qualifications to make her suitable for a series of talk- ing comedies based upon Hugh Wiley's character of fiction “Wilcat” Marsden. Although 12 applicants have been tried out before microphone and cam- era for this desirable job, none has yet qualified. It appears that the goats have wanted to butt when they shouldn’t and wouldn’t butt when they should. “The goat that plays ‘Lady Luck'— otherwise known as ‘Lily’,” explains Paul Powell, who is to direct the come- dies, “must possess self control. She must not let her appetite betray her into lack of discretion. Cameras and microphcnes are too costly for goat fodder.” It is whispered, also, that an odorless goat would be desirable, since Summer is coming on. 6, 6:14, 7:52 00, 7:38 and 9:1!
