FILMING NIGHT SCENES
Technicians were working' for weeks in preparation for the filming of “The Docks of New York/' <"ue to the fact that almost all of the action in the Picture occurs at night. This has made necessary certain lighting effects as well as the construction of settings in order to exclude daylight. The stages on which Josef von Sternberg, the director, is working, are the darkest in the entire Paramount studio, onlv a few shafts of soft light illuminating the faces of the Players. George Kancroft is starred in the Picture, with Betty Compson, Baclanova, Clyde Cook and Gustav von Seyffertitz featured in supporting roles. Glenn Tryon, Universal’s newest star, has arrived in New York to attend Universal's sales convention at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Atlantic City. It is expected that he will al«w present at the ensuing conventions in f3t. Louis and San Francisco, returning to Universal City to start work “The Gate Crasher” under the direct*©* of William Craft.
