166 THE TWENTIES Charles Rav's disastrous Miles Standish had sent him back to homespun parts. We see him here ( at the left ) in a scene from Percy, directed by R. William Neill and supervised by Thomas Ince for Pathe in 1925. Notice the two-piece orchestra in the foreground. No self-respecting screen star could get into the proper mood without music, in those days. The middle and late twenties saw the advent of the documentary film, which featured scenic effects and mass action rather than "plot" story or star performances. Here is a shot from one of the first— and still one of the finest— Grass, directed by Merian C. Cooper in 1925. The amazing photography was the work of Ernest R. Schoedsack.
