On several occasions during the Aiming of rural pictures, in which "barnyard altnos-phere" is an es.sent.lnl effect in the pictures, directors and their slaves have betn confronted with one of the- mov't troubleaome problems th-al could possibly be conceived by the pijjple who strive to make the public k'.uxrh. No doubt you have sat in a theatre seat and watched a rooster crow on the silver theet. You probably smiled and gave the matter no serious con- sideration. Or perhaps you said: "Simple enough," and let it go at that. But juat try to make one of the stubborn fowl's crow. You would, without a duubt, wi.*h that sucii crazy creations never existed. It is with this diiiifult feature that members of the movie p-rofopsion have to deal. In most cases they have to resort to H dummy for the purpose of producing u desired effect in picture.', and dummies arc easily delivtcd. The substitution of dummies for the red thing in ivio- lurcs only causes pu-ture patrons to turn up thi -ir noiss in s>..orn and won- der what t!'e maiiiifac'.uv.TS of screen -stories take them for. One dirwccor of eomedie- was re^imi'y hiiniilia^ed by several letters, whk-h asked lum if I'r- thaight he ;:< reaHy ye.ttillK away \.-th IMC in'*--.; cf m'ltinjj ome over on I bo j ublic. Why, a new-born baby j-ould ci&tinjruw'h :-. dummy rooster from tho veal one. Where did he get the idea that movie fans were abso- lutely dumb'.' Tho gentleman in question is one wiio has an interivatioiwl reputation Cor har.uling animals and fowls in pic- t:i>-pi. He has frequently been sty-led, "the man who make* animal* act." Kv Silently ho vealiM<l tliait there could i o nolhing that could take the place of a natural actor, whether human or thir.gs.' animal. lie began a puzzling study of what he c-a-lled "chickneology." P'or several ('ays he wondered how he could make his rooster crow in his next pic- ture. Every mears that ho resorted to proved useless. The camera* were set and the cam- erairan wasted many thousand feet of film waiting for the roostur to crow. Rut to no avail. It, was ii'b.+olii'ely u*e'ess. It coul-.'n't be done. The d-i- rcctor had given up the id<a entirely, when one morning he s.aw his trouble- some rcoster walk proudly out of the coip in V.h-ich he h:id been -.-iK'tosed. Some sympathetic fellow had felt sorry for the- fowl and unfastened the- door for tho abused rocster to seek freedom. The director watched the f( . .ter strut from the coop and stop, stretch his wings and crow as if his very life depended on it. Now why in thv world wouldn't the roj.-iter do that for him? The projd king of fowls was put into tho. coop and kept for several hours-, then curned loose again. The same procedure was followed sc-veral times. Invariably the rooster would crow after being' imprisoned for sc-v- eral hours. The ps.vch-c-lo'g-y cf making the ras- ter crow was tinaiiy determined by tho fact that the coc-p had a low roof. The rooster while in it could not hol-d his proud head up. When liberated Hf'tet a few hours of being in the coop ha naturally hail to stretch, and then h-i stretching was followed by the fam iliar sound uhkh every or the *oi;g of a rooster. This moans of making a crow in a picture ha:* been a great help to directors who like Lo make everything appear natural. When a picture is filmed that requires a roos- tiu' in thn act of crowing, tho fowl is procured and pluwe.1 in a coop con- structed so that he tii u not reiiB his head.
