HARD-WORKED DIRECTOR
WORKS ALL HIS SPARE TIME There is no rest for the director while production of a picture is in progress—at least while the making of such an important photoplay as “Loves of Carmen” is in progress. In making the photoplay, the director, Raoul Walsh, who has such successes as “The Thief of Bagdad” and “What Price Glory” to his credit, devotes as many hours to character concentration off the set as he does in the actual making of scenes. As soon as the day’s work is finished, the director rushes to his home or a secluded spot in the club and rehearses the following day’s routine, assuming the following day’s necessary for the development of the plot. The method of enacting each role, from Carmen to Jose and Bscamillo,' brings to him the most vital points of characterisation in a direct manner, and Walsh credits his phenomenal success to the time he has scent in this wav. _
