EVERYBODY'S PICTURES. “LETTERS OF FIRE.” The special feature for to-night at the • Princess Theatre is ‘ ‘Letters oi Fire” starring Edward G. Robinson. contains a swooping camera manoeuvre like the flight of a hawk, which reveals details of an. under-the-street speakeasy—and catches two of the patrons in ,a shaken tremulous light which suggests amusingly the state of their minds. The shot required much ingenuity on the part of Mervyn Le Roy, I ” the director, and Sol Polito, camera expert. . A three-hundred-pound camera, equipped with a lens capable of focusing clearly at high speed, was mounted on an elevating crane. The crane, a haphazard looking, machine built for Le Roy from specifications he drew in the air with his finger, takes the camera from a level of one foot to a height of thirty in nine seconds. 1 First National executives were so impressed by the results of the machine that they ordered the mechanical department to work out a machine that could toss a camera around ever more unusually. Mr Robinson is supported by Marian Marsh, H. B. Warner, Anthony Bushell, George Stone, Frances Starr, Ona Munson, Boris Karloff, Robert Elliott, Aline MacMahon, Purnell Pratt, David Torrence, Oscar Ap- > fel, Gladys Lloyd, Evelyn Hall , and I Harold Waldridge. “Letters of Fire” | was written by Louis Weitzenkorn. 1 Mervyrn Le Roy directed. It was Mr Robinson who supported George Arliss in “Disraeli.” Good supports are in- J eluded.
