While it connot be denied that. a

been for the master directing such
as Edward J. Le Saint gave it. The
director must be a man fully cap-
able 0! getting the best results out
of a star cast. He must be acquaint-
ed with every detail concerning each
character and has to lite each part
in order to bring out the best from
the actors. In the making or "Pal
0' Mine." which was screened from
Edith Kennedy‘s famous story. the
producers made no oversight or
hasty selection of the. director who
was to handle the production. They
went over the field very carefully
and after'due deliberation decided
that the man to do the trick was
Edward .7. Le Saint, who bears an
enviable reputation for having put
on real screen successes.
Mr. Le Saint has accomplished
wonder: in “Pal 0' Mine" and he
repeats some of the brilliant work
that. has made his former produc-
tions great successes. He is thor-
ough. painstaking and earnest; and
he knows how to handle players and
to get out of them the best that is
in them. Nothing is ever left. to
chance by Director Le Saint to make
each of his pictures just a bit better
than its immediate successor.

tuturistic treatment of sets and

Before becoming a. director. Gade
was a designer in Europe. The
production is the first . picture he
has directed in this country. and
besides directing, Gude designed
some of the decorations and. fur—
nishings or the magnificent sets
used in what promises to be a lav-
ish production.
Gade confided his skepticism to

question: “These have been given
the European futuristic treatment
as far as I dared give it in an Am-
oriczm production. for these oddit-
ics are not in full favor here." .
Miss Philbin said that she ap-
proved of the treatment and she is
as anxious as is the director to learn
what the public thinks of it.
This picture was adapted from
