SILENT DRAMA, "TALKIES AND THE STAGE OFFER LURES
Talking
Pictures Bring
Many Changes in Story
Writing for The Screen
Playwrights and Authors Called to Hollywood to Help in
Synchronizing Dialogue with Action to
Complete "Talkie" Production
TALKING pictures have already brought about one strik
ing change in connection with the authorship of screen
stories. It is now considered extremely important for writ
ers to go to the West Coast studios and be on the lot during
the shooting of a drama they have'sold to a film company
for sound production
This point has been clearly
brought out through the filming
of two new Fox talkinc pictures,
fin Old Arizona" and "Napoleon's
Barber' - If these had been silent
cinemas, instead cf all-dialogue
productions, the authors, who are
Tom Barry. and Arthur Caesar, re
; sportively.' would most likely not
Share been .'called to Hollywood.
Sometimes -writers hare been
sked to assist In the preparation
f a particularly technical type of
production, hat on the whole di-
rectors hare usually regarded
' them as a necessary evil.
- ;. A Vital Necessity
. Now. they are looked upon as a
Tltal necessity. - .That's due to the
fact,-that' changes sometimes have
t be made in the lines during the
scooting of the picture. No one
Is , so qualified to make these
exchanges as the author himself. Di
rectors like Raoul Walsh and Irv
rsrtCtimmings, who hare had
charge of the work on "In Old
Arlxona," have had plenty of writ
ing experience, but it is now con
sidered wise to have practicing
playwrights of popular speaking
drama on hand as barometers of
public taste;
All of this has brought about
some curious consequences. Cae-

ground with an obvious wrench.
He was expected to go flying back
at the first opportunity. Instead,
he has "gone Hollywood" with a
vengeance. Through being right

ers he has sold two other stories
to i Fox.

Cod, Hollywood's
Rarest Commodity,
Movies Discover
The scarcest commodity in
Hollywood is coal, a fart
that was not pen era II y
known till the chief prop
erty nutn at the Fox West
Coast studios was asked to
furnish a hundred tons of
the fuel for the stokehole
scenes on an ocean liner in
"Captain Lash." These
scenes, which show Victor
McLaglen, in the title role
driving his "black gang,"
are vital to the production.
The property man found the
coal in such quantities was
not to be bad.
' Production was delayed
for a day till a dealer was
found who consented to
"loan" the coal for a price
jfreater than it was worth.
All of which might be con
strued as a boost for Cali
fornia climate until It is
recalled that down there the
chill of evening is taken off
wit h the aid of electric and
gas heaters, while industrial
plants are operated by hy
droelectric power and pow
er generated with oil from
the many nearby fields.

EW YORK, Jan. 5. Just as
was saying the talkies had
the field to themselves in the
way of success, along comes a sil
ent picture at $2 a seat on Broad
way and knocks 'em over.
The movie in question is "The
River," with Charles Farrell and
Mary Duncan (as a temptress).
Their lives are like a river. Me-
thinks audiences' like the old
movie stories. The talkies are shy
on action stories.
"The Trial of Mary Dugan,"
successful stage play, is counted
upon to be a thriller in the talkies.
In the cast are Norma Shearer, H.
B. Warner and Lewis Stone. The
courtroom set is said to be about
the most elaborate built so far for
a talkie.
