"God’i Country and the Woman”. The camera setups use up hours of the day. Formally, Keighley gets 15 scenes a day. On this picture, he gets five. George Brent tells me some of his troubles. All his tan is wasted in “God's Country and the Woman". There's a line under the eyes that the sun doesn't tan evenly. And the face must be absolutely uniform in shade for the technicolor cameras. Brent has to apply a grayish fluid to every inch of his skin that shows. Then makeup on top of that. In natural light. It looks ghastly. Or even if photographed in black and white. He is having trouble about suits the day I am on the set. His valet, a colored boy with the longest upper lip this side of Übangi, keeps bringing new ones in. Gray is about the only color that satisfies the technicolor men, but Director Keighley wants a contrast. There is a squawk about ties, too. Any sort of bright color in a tie Is taboo. “If they keep arguing enough, they'll have to get a new actor, anyway,” says Brent. "With these lights, I’ll be lucky if my eyes last through the picture.” A hot argument is in progress when I visit the “Wives Never Know” set at Paramount. Adolphe Menjou and Director Elliott Nugent can't agree on how to pronounce the word "vegetable”. Menjou wants to accent the first syllable and run the rest together. Nugent wants to hear each syllable pronounced clearly. The scene is one between Adolphe, who plays a cynical nov ell st, and Mary Boland, F,vs .?• who is Charles 4 Ruggles’ wife. -' Menjou Is in full dress and wears a mono- £ a W clt for the Fl .»» jH second time in Mu r his career. His g||%, A brows don’t jut byenough to hold , it securely, so HVE " he has resorted r ——" to coating the Mary Boland rim of the glass with toupee wax. "If it holds some of these actors hair on, It ought to hold this monocle in my eye,” he says. Menjou, an old-timer, is very meticulous about lighting on the set. Before the take begins, he calls to the cameraman: "Are all my spots working? everything on me that should be . Preparations have taken a long time, but are justified. Adolphe and Miss Boland speak four pages of dialog, about 500 feet of film, before he blows a line.
