He also has charge of the k 'bits' ' and extras, estimates from the script how many and what types will be needed and then sends out orders for these people through the casting office. When the "bits" and extras come to the studio, he examines their make-up, their costumes, etc., and decides whether or not they are the right types for the picture.

That evening he telephones to the principals and important players, notifying them where and at what time they will work the next day. He also assists the director in directing the action of the mobs and of small "bits of business."
