Screenland (May-Oct 1931)

KU W L-P S-U for June 1931 When the Movies Demand Brains More Than Beauty Continued from page 30 kind of brush the actor was using, and so on. "Well, my notes fortunately covered such details pretty thoroughly, and I told Mr. Milton to go ahead. Everything was ready, all the actors were ready, and the shooting was about to begin. I sat beside Mr. Milton and waited for him to give the signal. "Suddenly I felt a cold chill. Instinctively I reached out and tapped Mr. Milton's arm. 'Wait !' I said. " 'What's the matter?' he asked. " 'Mr. Stone,' was all I could say. Then I got up and examined Lewis Stone's smock. From where I'd been sitting it seemed that he had lost a buttor And I had a momentary vision of a stack of letters from neat women all over the country, who would remember that in one scene the buttons on Mr. Stone's smock were intact, and a second later a button was missing. Oh, women notice those things, and thev write letters about them. When the script girl makes a slip she hears from her own sex. Of course she doesn't write to the script girl, but to the director, but the director isn't responsible for those details, and the kidding and razzing and indignant letters come from girls and women all over the country. "However, I soon saw that the buttons were all right. The smock merely had rolled back and hidden the button that I thought was missing. The scene went on. "The directors get used to these interruptions on the part of the script girl. It's annoying, of course, to be all ready to take a scene, only to have the script girl put up her hand in the signal to halt. But it's more annoying to have to take a long scene all over again because of an irregularity of detail." The script girl is responsible for more than meets the eye. Her duties do not begin or end with remembering the length of star's cigarette or the kind of shoes that were worn by an ingenue. Far from it. PADS IB: :3. i;s'T. HALL .VHITZ HOISE.
