ACTORS WORK AT NIGHT
With many stage actors and actresses now under contract for talking pictures, directors at the studios have discovered that they can accomplish more work on sound stages at night than during the daylight hours. Asked to explain the psychology of this strange phase, Fred Niblo, veteran actor and noted director, who is directing John Gilbert’s new starring vehicle, “Redemption,” at the Metro-Gold wynMayer studios, said: “Most of the actors and actresses who have come from the stage, are accustomed to working at night in the theatre, and many of them are not ‘awake’ until night falls and the ligths go on. Anyway, it is true that better results are being obtained and with greater rapidity when we work at night.”
