Stahl-The Great

Director

Sixteen years of specializing on one type of story have made John M Stahl, the industry's outstand ing director of domestic drama In 1917, Stahl, then, in his third year as a director, produced "Wives of Men," and ever since that time he has been writing and directing stories which dealt with the pro- blems of the home and the re- lations of the sexes. It has be come a master of emotion and has made nis pictures so consistently Teat that they have seemed like actual bits of life.

“Women, and not men, are the main factors in the success or failure of a motion picture," he de- clares.

"I refer to the women players who appear on the screen and to the women in the audience. the first place, sentiment makes pictures appealing to the women in the audience. In the second place, a certain amount of "hokum' also brings the women to the box office. "A woman has a far greater chance of reaching prominence in Hollywood, if she has any ability. than has a man of equal talent. Women are interesting to women in the audience as well as to the men. Men players have a hold on women, but have very little hoid on men. Our greatest male stars are laughed at and ridiculed by men. But seldom does a receive, auch ridicule.

In the case of "Only Yesterday" he spent three months on the story, He came to New York, fie engaged three different sets of au- thors to adapt Frederick Lewis Allen's story; and he went back to California with what he considers the best story he ever atarted to -direct.

From the time John Stahl joined Universal in 1930, he has produced for the company notably success- ful' pictures of this type.

Music and comedy divided the actors and the staff of Robert T. Kane's Fox Film uait into two camps during the first fimization of George White's "Scandals," each group striving for aupremacy in the fim.

The comedy forces have a total of five who lend their efforts "to producing the laughs George White who not only staged the production, but who is playing a leading role; Jimmy Durante, who had his New York vacation cut short to join the cast: Clf Ed- |wards, who enacts the role of Stew Hart; Dixie Dunbar, comedienne, who is a newcomer to flims, and Gregory Rstoff are the Ove.

Rudy Vallée's famous voice la the first ime offense. He plays the male starring role and, need- less to say, the role, calls frequent- ly for song. "Alice Faye made her name as a star blues singer on Vallee's radio hour and continued her fame in the New York stage "Scandals." This led to Hollywood, and she has won the leading feminine role in the picture.
