JMurnau's American Success I ST what 1". W. Murnau has accomplished in his first Anurican-iiiade picture, "Sunrise," we prol)al)ly will not know until next September when it opens in New York, for the greatest secrecy is l)ein<r ohscrvcd at Fox concernin<r it and it will be shown to no one. Murnau, however, is quietly confident tliat it is his best picture, and he is of a type likely to be slow in eominfj to such a decision.
There were many predictions that he would not fit into the Fox organization — we, ourselves, felt that he would have a difficult situation to face in any American studio — but the best answer to all tiiat is the fact that he has signed up with Fox for five years, despite hysterical' efforts by rival companies to obtain his services. Now he has gone back to Berlin to make one picture on his old eontract, "From Nine to Nine," which will be ])roduccd jointly by Ufa and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, with Lars Hanson and Camilla Horn in the leading roles.
The future of tiic screen, Murnau believes, lies with the youngsters now coming along who have been raised on motion pictures, and bring no false theatrical or literary traditions to their work. Young writers, he feels, slu)uld be strongly encour aged.
All in all, Murnau is well pleased with his stay here, and his reception exceeded his exj)ectations. And it is nice to know (as a personal letter from the Coast informs us) that even the grips, props and electricians on his set fairly idolized him. ^^'e deed such directors, of whatc\er nationalit\'.
