It seems strange so early in the year | to forecast the great picture of that year, but this epic of the great West promises Quiet on the Western Front” was to last year, and because of the univer- sality of its theme, the pioneer motif, understandable to all Americans, it has & more widespread claim on our inter- est and sympathy. The more one sees of pictures the more is the realizasion established that the director is the genius of the pic- ture in the final analysis. Wesley Rug- les, & director about whom we have from time to time as having un- usual quality, has stepped from a mod- est ition in the motion picture world nto the front ranks of those who write tales in film. Richard Dix’s career has been one of ups and downs, of good pictures and great pictures, and then of long inter- to be to this year what “All| it given. Irene Dunne, Radio Pictures' new | find, is one of the most beautiful girls jon the screen today, and that is the least of her qualifications. She pos- sesses, beyond beauty, that sympathy and direct appeal to the emotions of her audience which has always been true of Norma Talmadge. She has a |scope of acting ability which carries |her in this pieture from a young girl |to a white-haired woman, With each changing phase exquisitely delineated. ‘There are too many characters in “Cimarron” for any one to give much of an impression. Edna May Oliver's comedy is a high light; Buster Collier comes to us in the role of the boy bandit, one of the .best things he has done; Robert McWade is excellent as the owner of the first automobile in Oklahoma. One could go on ad infini- tum. Each character is perfectly chosen for its place in the picture and they are all artists of standing. But Wesley Ruggles has taken artists Plates Like MY NAME'S RILEY ! ‘ SORRN = WHAT DOES WELL, HoW ABOUT WE ONLY ME STARTING NEED ONE AS A PROPERTY DIRECTOR MAN ? AND THAT JuB 1S of standing and so handled them that he has made you forget that they are actors and actresses at all. He has taken Edna Ferber's story and adhered faithfully to it, yet made you forget you are seeing the picturization of a great novel. Wesley Ruggles has made 13 reels of the opening and building of Oklahoma, which seems like 13 minutes. He has made you forget gelatin strip and act- ing technique and the cutter’s art, and all the er things which are gen- I HAVE A LETTER OF INTRODUCTION To THE HERD OF THIS FILM COMPANY = | T WANT R JeB8 DIRECTING TALKIES | vals with just pictures, nothing more. | He proves in “Cimarron” that he must HE KNOW ABOUT RELATIVES — HE NEVER.

He is presented to his audience with- out tion. Neither apologies for ‘what he nor attempted justifica- tion. Herein lies the secret of some of the film “Cimarron’s” strength. It is the custom of movie producers to jus- tify themselves in presenting a char- acter that is not perfect when that | erally foremost in the talking picture. And this, when all is said and done, is the ideal for which every director struggles—to blot out the art in actu- ality, to so perfect the illusion that it merges into reality.
