Tel. Bryant 4981-2 CRITICAL FOCUSING (Continued from page 392) the results attained in Street Angel are not only technically perfect, but of an artistic quality that is breath taking. Color: Although color is used with the greatest economy, its addition greatly enriches certain sequences, and the manner of its employment is entirely practicable for amateurs. In some of the waterfront scenes, for example, where an old lamp or lantern is part of the composition, this light has been colored yellow. Although a bright spot in the full scene of gray, it seems an integral part of the picture, because applied logically. For the amateur this would mean hand coloring each frame of the sequence, and this method will be discussed fully in an article, "Coloring Film With Brushes," in our July issue. Shadows: There is excellent shadow work, heightening the mood which it is desired to invoke. Atmosphere: Street Angel establishes and maintains the atmosphere of its locale with the easy perfection which bespeaks great artistry. Composition: The intelligent use of composition in interpretation of the story is illustrated by the scene in which the girl is brought before the court. She is small and weak and the court is powerful. Therefore, the camera placed behind the judge shows the judge and bench looming large in the foreground, while the unfortunate defendant, scarcely able to see above the bench, is placed in the middle ground, and by contrast with the mass of the foreground seems very small and insignificant. Note: For the above reasons and many which do not so readily lend themselves to comment every reader of Movie Makers should see Street Aneel. PHOTOPLAYFARE (Continued from page 393) muscles more his eyes would not have had to carry the too-heavy interpretative burden. We thought the Duchess Josiana — Miss Olga Baclanova — too "utterly utter" for even her frank period and Hugo's psychopathic personage. We recommend to Mr. Laemmle that he turn Mr. Leni as director and Mr. Warrenton as photographer loose on something that is designed for the screen. He has a valuable pair of cinematic artists, and if he keeps them in progressive channels and lets Victor Hugo rest under his time-frizzled laurels, we shall all be thankful.
