PAGE ITVJfl State Policeman mwn impair OPDCCM Accimcn lfVA Carmen to Be First Filmed Studio Technique to Differ From Long Ac cepted Methods of Stage By ROHBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD (AP) Grand opera on the screen has ceased to be a mere possibility, discussed pro and con at the Hollywood round table. It has reached the comparatively cer tain state of being Included on the production schedule of at least one studio. "Carmen," Bizet, popuUr work. Is to be the first opera film ed. And for the filming, a new tech nique will be created. Grand opera as It Is known on the stage will not be fed to the cameras of Hollywood. Ernest Lubltsch, who recently gave up directing to become manager of production at Paramount, was first to herald the coming of opera to the screen, and It Is his studio which has announced "Carmen." .May Aid Siorc Opera In Lubltsch's opinion, opera on the screen may Influence stage op era as profoundly as motion picture technique has Influenced dramatic stage production and the opinion is the Influence will be all for the good of stage opera. "Nothing new has been done In staging grand opera for a long time, and It Is out-dnted In Its present form," he declares. "In putting It upon the screen we must not be afraid to change the style of It. Such a change would not be an artistic violation, for If any art needs fresh blood today. It Is grand opera. A New Presentation "First." he says, "we must have a real style for presentation of opera on the screen, a new style. The story lines as they now stand must be re vised. I think we. should not rely en tirely upon singing, although we should have much of It. Some of '.he story would be told in dialogue, with underscored music from the opera, but not too much dialogue. In fact, much of the silent picture technique, with scenes In pantomime and ac tion, would be used, and the score thus brought In as musical accom paniment. All of It will have to be very cleverly devised, but I am con fident that, properly presented, grand opera In films will meet popular fa vor. "The casting problem for ope.-a used to be difficult, because while rn the stage no one objected to buxom sopranos and stout tenors, the screau would not tolerate them. For a screen opera the performer must not only sing, but have looks and acting abil ity. Good-looking singers are avail able now. and we are going to use them." Many Singers Vnder Contract Other studios with operatic stais under contract are proceeding on stories that will Incorporate operatic selections, but to date none has plan ned a true "screen opera." Grace Moore's second picture for Columbia Is a modern story with music, as ws "One Night of Love." Lawrence Tto bett will do "Diamond Horseshoe" for Twentieth Century, a "backstage-at-the-Met" story. Lily Pons at B-K-O has no vehicle as yet. and the same Is true of Marlon Talley at M-G-M. Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDon ald at the same studio probably will be teamed again in operetta. Uni versal Marta Eggreth is set lor "April in Paris." of the operetta type. Paramount's vocal hopes, one of whom will be "Carmen" in all prcb ability, are Mary Ellis. Gladys Swai thout, and Helen Jepson. with Jan Klepura of "Be Mine Tonight" also coming. Fox has Nino Martini and Tutta Rolfe. and Warner Bros, nas contracted Everett Marshall once seen with Bebe Daniels In "Dlxlana, ' at R-K-0 for vocal-acting duties. Feodor Challapin.

He saw the move to retain an NRA skeleton organization aa an attempt to "provide a cushion for several thousand employers to land on." Law Definition Wiintcd Rather than an attempt to use the tax power, some new dealera In the senate were 'ic lined to look for a move to have congress write a defi nition of interstate commerce Into law. It was hinted that the skeleton NRA organization would assemble facts to show that many Industries which would be excluded under the supreme court's decision actually would affect Interstate commerce. This data might be presented In fu ture court tests. Mean while. It wns said at the White House that proposal submit ted by 30 or 40 experts for extension of NRA code principles had not been found to conform to the supreme court's limitation.
