...streams through a central glass. They develop the gags, draw only the beginning and the end of an action. Their sketches are passed to 2) the "in-betweeners" who draw the small delicately graded changes that make a motion kinetic. Then 3) the "inkers" place a transparent square of celluloid on the drawing and outline boldly in ink on the celluloid. Action is photographed by superimposing these transparent drawings over the painted backgrounds which have been placed under a camera...

...passing months have found "The Trial of Mary Dugan" to be fairly sound melodrama in the modern fashion. Successful on the legitimate stage, its chorus girl heroics modified by the prevalent taste for detective fiction have been impressed into celluloid to emerge upon the screen in almost recognizable form.

The popularity of the screen version lies in an ingenious plot, ably unravelled...
