Pantomime Is Still Essence of Comedies, Hal Roach Declares
Hal Roach is making no drastic changes in his policy of short comedy production because of the progress made in talking pictures. Roach believes that sound and dialog should be adapted to the silent comedy in its true form, rather than that the silent comedy style be radically changed to utilize all the possibilities of sound.
While he believes that sound effects are a boon to the producer of comedies, Roach thinks dialog is dangerous. The temptation to use talk where action and pantomime are essential to good comedy, is a constant danger, Roach says. The use of dialog to explain situations is too easy, he thinks, and is bound to result in static footage, ruined tempo. Motion and pantomime are the essence of the two reel rough-and-tumble comedy, and words are unnecessary, he believes.
