MR. COCHRAN ON THE FILM

Mr. Basil Dean Replies

RELATIONS OF THE STAGE

AND SCREEN

Mr. Basil Doan has made the Following reply to Mr. Cochran's. criticisms of British films and film producers and players:—

- should like, as a beginning, to hint to Mr. Cochran ever so gently that he has been over hasty in cri ticism, I should have been better pleased if criticism had awaited the practical working out of my pro position. However, let, me hasten to reassure him that my views as to the inter-relationship of stage and screen are not, as if considered as be seems to think; they have only heen arrived at after a profound study of the problem extending over a period of three or four years, dur ing which time I have been, as it were, serving a necessary appren ticeship to the whole business of making films Mr. Cochran will frid it necessary to serve a similar apprenticeship and in the course of it I am convinced he will" come to discard the American, connection, As I have done before ham, I will give my reasons in a moment.

In

First, the techniques of acting for the stage and for the screen are, of course, acparate and distinct. But this is not to say that the younger and more flexible actors cannot acquire and use both tech- niques with skill and success. my opinion stage experience is a very necessary part of the training of the modern. picture actor; and this is generally recognised in America as well as in England. It lane of the reasons why. Holly- wood so accessfully combs the British stage for the best of its young acting talent,

Mr. Cochran will be surprised to find me in such agreement with him, but that is because he has mis- understood my interview. The stage can. and does supply writers and actors for the screen, but that ja na reason why the talents of these artists should be divorced from the service of the stage once they have been recruited for the screen. They can divide "their minds into com- partments just as Mr. Cochran en- joins me to do, provided they have u clear perception of what those compartments should be and of the difference between the modes of ex- pression of the two media. Thc point is that they have little or no encouragement to do so if they are enticed away to work under the fac tory-like conditions of Hollywood.

As a play "Peg O' My Heart" is some twenty years old and yet on the talking screen it is brand new. The reason for this, is in the ap- parent agelessness of the charm- ing story.
