That's Allan Dwan'i opinion when he's had a tough day. And even when every thing's gone Virginia. KsveFherswfi along just dan dy he still thinks the movie-makers ought to get out of town to grind out their epics. "They've lost the feel of life," Dwan said. "They're all racing hell-bent to see which one can drive himself to Forest Lawn first." Forest Lawn is the town's most expensive graveyard and Dwan will tell you that's where some of the "bright boys" should be anyhow. He tells them so, too. They take it, too. Because Dwan is lust about the No. 1 veteran In the business. He got into it by mistake back in 1907 and since then he's directed 1708 movies in 43 years. Wouldn't Blamt 'Em That's almost more'n any horiy'd wanta look at in a whole lifetime, come to think of it. Dwan said he wouldn't blame them if the movies were like a lot of "this junk they're turning out now." "I learned to be a director the hard way," he explained. "I came out here as an inventor and an engineer. I had some work to do on movie set and the director had quit. So I took over." He has been doin' it ever since. Back in the old days he whipped out three movies a week some weeks. And had fun at it. "I still do," says Dwan, now white-haired and handsome in his 60s. "The day I stop get ting a bang out of it I'll quit. Go into television." Would Altar Locale Dwan'a all for making movies in the town where the action's supposed to take place.

"And use all the Wichita natives you can cram into the cast. That'e how you get the feel of a town. "It's also a lot cheaper to use real trees and mountains and lakes and rivers. You don't have to foot the bills for making up fake ones that always look like fakes anyhow," If they'd let him, Dwan'd probably use natives for the leading roles, too. Story Makes Movie "They'd be more natural," he argued. "And show me the town that doesn't have one or two born actors. Besides, it's not the stars that make a movie good. It's the story." That's another pet beef of his. "Screen writers have forgotten how to write real stories," Dwan says. "They may have known once before they got to Holly wood. But a few years of this big dough and fancy living soft ens 'em up to a point where they all turn out the same pap."
