“It the Deck."

Luther Reed, director of two of the biggest musical sensations in talking pictures, "Rio Rita," and "Hit the Deck," is considered a prominent authority on moving picture choruses and their requirements.

"In sereen musical comedies," said Reed. "choruses should be considered As a unit of charm, personality and grace, rather than for the excellence and beauty. of the individual chorines.

This does not happen on the screen, where the ac- tion in fast and the camera' anglos make it difficult for the audience to get an impression of any one chorino in the ensemble unless she is singled out for a close-up.
