Too many close-ups spoll * pretty face. Norman Taurog. one of the leading film direc- tors, thinks so, and practices. what he preaches,

Although Taurog is more often identified with outstanding pletures dominated by boy atari sucin. 13 | Jackie Cooper in "Skippy and

| Mickey Rooney in "Boys Town"--be

is na equally successful in wringing. from the mature stars the best of their acting abilities.

At present, Taumġ is directing two of the most popular azeen Robert | stars, Myrna Loy and

Taylor, in a fast inoying comedy, but he will never be found guilty: }of crowding the camera against Miss Loy's or Taylor'a face for too many "one-shot" close-ups.

לי י.

"A" pretty face that mis the

screen from chin tip to crown cla-

not depict action. I do not decry close-ups in their entirety, but I do disapprove of full-face close- ups. When I decide upon a close- up. I prefer at least a two-shop" in which both principals can be seen. A pretty face that fills the screen while speaking lines to another person removed from the screen always reminds me of a ventriio- quist speaking in two tones af voice.

CALL FOR ACTION

"When a picture calls for ac- tion, whether it is comedy or drama, It is my rule to show that action instead of attempt- ing to imagine it in the beauty of a face only."

wätching Taurog work at Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer, it is also revealed that he consistently knows what he wants, and gets it out of his cast.

Contrary to other directors, Taurog registers the story" he is transferring to flim in' the shortest "takes" possible, which, when woven together in the completed product, tell the secret of the action he injects into his pictures, No scene is long enough to become,, tiring to the eyes, and no dialogue is long enough to become boring. The result becomes a fast moving story that moves from one scene to another with the smooth rapidity of a pebble bouncing across the waters of a placid mill-pond.

'MARIE. ANTOINETTE” "BY REQUEST AT THE KING'S

"Marie Antoinette" which will be screened to-day at the King's Theatre, by popular request is a triumph of the motion picture art. More than that, it is a triumph for Norma Shearer.

Magnificent in its pageantry." with eye-filling beauty of brilliant flawlessly costume and setting,

cast with such famed flm nardes as Tyrone Power, John Barry-" more, Anita Louise, Joseph Schild- scores kraut,.Gladys. George and

to

WO-

of others, these were secondary Miss Shearer's absorbingly human interpretation of & man's sometimes carefree, oftimes desperate, seeking for happiness.

There arg moments of great drama and poignant tragedy, but also delightful comedy.

This is a picture "that can be beartily recommended to those of every age who enjoy an exclt- ing, adventurous motion picture, replete with thrills and romance.
