Movie Sub-Title Writer’s Life Is Not an Easy One

It's His Jots to Be Clever, But He Seldom Gets Any Credit. Editor's Note: This is the ninth .of a series of twelve articles treating l of movie making from the inside. BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer HOLLYWOOD, Cal., April 28. After everything else on the production schedule of a motion picture has been completed the film is handed to a title writer. His job is to write the. sub-titles, ranging in number from 120 to 175. And it's as easy as it appears. Few of the millions of theatergoers pay much attention . to the movie titles. They take these word explanations as a matter of course. If the titles are noticed, credit for them goes to the character supposed to be speaking Time after time I have come out of the theater and heard, "Wasn’t that a clever line Jack Mulhall spoke to Dorothy Mackaill—he certainly is brilliant ” Public Wants to Laugh The public seems to believe that the words they read actually come from the characters. Little thought is given to the poor title writer who spends days and sometimes weeks thinking of these snappy titles. Title writing is an art in itself, entirely different from other forms of writing. The titles must be kept short, usually not over ten words long and rarely ever more than fifteen words in length. There are two classes of titles—story titles are the vogue at present, even in dramatic pictures. Producers have learned that the public wants to laugh. Hence the wise-cracking writer is now in demand. But even in comedies no attempt is made to inject laughs into story titles—they are merely an aid to the theme of the picture. Pictures Revised After the titles have been written, they are ready for the laboratory. A specially prepared white ink is used in printing the title on a black card. This is then filmed with a regulation motion picture camera using a standard negative. A foot of film is allowed for every word in the title. Many titles also have artistic backgrounds. This is hand-painted by an artist who sticks very closely to the theme of the picture. Wth the titles in, the picture is ready for a preview. All studios preview their pictures before releasing them.

the public's reaction to a picture before it is pronounced finished. Most previews result in changes being made. Titles and scenes in the pictures that don't get the desired reaction from the audience arc changed. . Two or Three Previews The general procedure these days is to preview a film two or three times before it is released. Big specials sometimes are previewed oftener. What are known as "temp” titles are printed for these previews. "Temp” titles are photographed directly on a positive stock which is printed and cut into a print of the film. When the final set of titles is approved, they are photographed on a negative which is cut into the master negative. Dozens of prints are made from this negative. The same process is followed that is used in printing a picture on paper except that the printing is done on positive film. With the final changes of scenes and titles after the second or third preview, the film is ready for release—but it must be exploited. Plans Wheat Crop Survey fill United Tress GREENSBURG. Ind..

4 Black Crows’ Visit Mayor

SOCIALIZIN’AROUND Moran and Mack Call on Slack

BY EDWIN V. O’NEEL GEORGE MORAN and Charlie Mack. “Two Black Crows” of phonograph record and Earl Carroll “Vanities” fame, who are at English's Theater this week, dropped in on Mayor Slack for an hour Thursday. When they departed—Mack to play golf with Dr. J. W. Wright, an old friend, and Moran to join his bride of five weeks, Clare Whyte, dancer in "Vanities "—Slack had enough wisecracks stored up to make himself the hit of dinner parties for weeks to come.

Slack Spent several hours with Will Rogers on his recent trip here and was “loaded” for the stage stars. They agreed that Will could handle "delicate subjects” before a mixed audience in clever fashion. The stars attribute much of their fame to the fact that they have “stuck together” and offer clean amusement. "We have made it a practice never to use a joke which could not be heard by children, preachers or mothers and sisters. Americans appreciate clean humor,” Mack said. Asked what he considered the greatest contributing factor to the popularity of their dialogue. Mack said: "I have a system which I have never heard of any one using. Our expressions are those which might be used by a child between 5 and 8. We keep our ears open for the naive humor of the very young. Both were bom in Kansas. Moran at Elwood and Mack at Whitecloud —twenty-eight miles apart. Mack is 40 and Moran 46. They have known each other a quarter century. Both have been on the stage for more than thirty years. "I just wouldn't work.” said Mack when asked how he happened to take to the stage. Mack is running against Will Rogers as a presidential "candidate”

CHICAGO FACES 1 ‘PANIC’; COFFER NEARLY EMPTY City Owes Million and Has Only $13,300 to Meet Its Debts. By United Tress CHICAGO, April 28.—Chicago's city fathers today were seeking a financial wizard who can devise means to pay $1,045,021 of debts, with a fund of $13,300 now in the treasury. The figures were made public last night in the city controller’s report. The aldermen became so alarmed over the statement that they voted to recall all unexpended appropriations, defer all those pending, and ordered department heads to conserve every penny until a solution can be found. The financial problem was said to be the greatest since 1917, when it was necessary to vote bonds to keep the corporate balance. Mayor William Hale Thompson was serving his first term in 1917. If Chicago's bills were paid up. the controller said, the city would be $1,032,121 in the hole, with nothing in the treasury for the rest of the year. No way other than drastic economy was suggested by the aldermen as a solution of the problem. The council had counted on a large bond program passing at the last primary, but the issue was defeated. It was said the council had spent around $200,000 for miscellaneous items, believing there was a balance of $500,000 in the treasury. HONOR MRS. DICKEY Flower Mission Pays Tribute ot Late Worker.
