PaireTKrwi Stage Successes Are 'Plums' For Movie Directors By Robbln Coon HOLLYWOOD Extremely buo- eessful stage plays usually are re garded as "plums" far the movie di me tor given the job of translating , them Into screen form. Ernst Lubltsch. who recently fin ished "Design for Living," considers the successful stage play the most difficult to film. Ho would rather direct from a scenario written especialy for' pic tures, because famous plays have legions of admirers and each ad mirer of a play is a potential cle famer of Its film form If the picture deviates ever so slightly from the play. And VQt dfroctors must bear In mind that they are making pure mo tion picture entertainment. A 'Counterfeit Presentment "In my experience," Lubitsch com ments. "I never have observed a mo- tlon picture photographed with an I eye to absolute fidelity to stage form which reached within a mile the .quality of that play. The reason for this Is that the screen Is an art form In Itself related to stagecraft, true, but by no means the same. "With this In mind. I analyzed 'Design for. Living' before the Ben Hecht script was written, and de cided on an individual treatment whlc preserves the plot and essence of Noel Coward's drama and at the - earn time affords an expression that is t'dstinctly cinematic. "A strictly photographed copy of a stage play, regardless of how excel lent It may be as such, is' to me a second-rate, substitute for the ori ginal, singularly void of Imagination zest and creative ability of the picture-maker. An Art In Itseir "Since the screen Is an art form In Itself. I see no reason for the slightest concession. "When, for instance, a playwright dramatizes a novel, everybody grants him the license to alter the form to suit dramatic purposes. The some privilege must bo reserved by the motion picture director when he transfers a stage play to the screen with full intention of doing justice to the original." AH of which, no doubt, Is a longer way of -saying that Herr Lubltsch must put in those "Lubitsch Touches" no matter what ho directs. And the screen's "Design for Living" Is full of them. UNION I'KKSOXALS UNION PERSONALS MO OR A fire of unknown origin started about midnight Monday in a wood shed back of Barney Hebrlck's con fection shop.
