Too much rehearsing is bad. Everybody agrees on that. But when you get a tough scene that takes a lot of working out, it is much worse to do it just before you shoot it than it would be to do it the day before. People get stale after an hour of the same three or four pages and it is an added difficulty to know you have to pull one out of a hat that is long since empty. These are things I’d like to see you take up because I am sure they would result in better pictures. Of course, it is all from the actor’s point of view, but, after all, actors have a part in making pictures. — JONATHAN. FORMAT PLEASES READERS (Continued from page 17) Lewis Milestone — Well, after all these years! Good work! Erich Wolfgang Korngold — I am happy to see the Spectator further progressing.
