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.

With a declaration that no evidence

test of his election brought by his

EUGENE. June 5. ( AP) One per

experienced narrow escapes from
flames which destroyed five buildings
and damaged another at Notl, 20
miles west of here, early this morn

by the bla7e which was brought un
der control after two hours fighting!
Lack of any wind saved the rest of
the town, resident said.
The blaze started at 1 o'clcx-k this
morning, apparently from defective
wiring In a pool hall. The hotel,
poolroom and barber shop, a barn
and two residences were destroyed.

caught la a corner of a building. His

Of the "stop-gap" plan. Senator
Vandenberg (A.. Mich.) sntd:
"The mountain has labored and
brought forth a mouse. I don't think
anybody should take the time to
kick the little mou.-c around."
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

of NRA code principles had not been
found to conform to the supreme
court's limitation. It was added the

further exploration.
President Roosevelt turned over all
suggestions for the future of NRA to

The White House reported little re
