R T In Screen Productions Some Of The T^tw Pictures Have Scenes That Rival The Canvases Of The Greatest Artists. AFTER the costumes and properties for a ■^-picture have been secured and the actors have learned their lines, then the Art Director studies how to make the scenes remarkable for their taste and picturesqueness. One of the earliest of full length films, "Cabana," a silent film, of course, had a "shot" of a file of camels against the evening sky, as the caravans moved across the desert. This scene was so outstanding that for years anything crossing the desert was photographed against a light sky. The Art of a picture must enhance the dramatic effect. Note how this is accomplished by the smoke and steam from the boats in "Steamboat Round the Bend." Everyone enjoys pictures that are artistically arranged. Not long ago a picture, "Zoo In Budapest," was famous for its well managed effects, and recently "Becky Sharp" was sensational for the manner in which the scenes were arranged. The "Wanderer Of the Wasteland" is being made again, this time with Gail Patrick. Nature supplies a gorgeous background. They take to the boats to escape the wrath of Vesuvius. A scene from "The Last Days of Pompeii." Preston Foster plays the lead.
