Movie Directors Do
Not Need Whifevushine

10 the Film Editor of The Tribune:
Here is my modest answer to your
SIS the SQUAD Farm True?"
With due respect to Frederic and
Fanny Hatton, the producers, and the
artists playing in "The SQUAD Farm,
let's take quiet little squint into the
offices and studios of the big film con-
Germs. Then you who are interested in
the fantastic and tiresome Hatton affair
look to the legitimate Offices for the
deadly parallel.
There has been but one big tilm pro-
Queer divorced during the past five
years.
There have been but two film stars d-
vorced during the past eight years.
The following prominent film pro-
ducers and directors have had but one
wife-and are still content with the
original:
(Names deleted by censor)
But what's the use? could go on
for ten full columns and note the
names and addresses Of happily mar
ried couples who have spent the most
Of their professional days in the
studios. The film business has not yet
bred Nat Goodwin, De Wolf Hopper,
Conway Tearle, May Yohe or nation
wide scandal.
Unquestonably Mr.. and Mrs. Hat
ton got the data for their present
vehicle in the same manner as they Sc
cured their data for "Upstairs and
Down'-from distant observation; or
mayhap they submitted some Of their
salacious dialogue in scenario form to
one of the film producers, who prompt
ly suggested they would do better in
the legitimate with it.
One can nevar tell from where they
sit just what does prompt rancor.

ouite recently we went to see film
..ars;on of ia Tosca" and there we saw
Iules Raucourt, Mario who was new
to US.
We rather liked his work and we de-
.;dedlv liked his looks, and all the
while we watched the picture our sub
conscious mind suggested him as sub
;eet for Sunday story.
of course there are movie actors and
,,ovie actors, but having met both kinds
we were not prepared for something
different, and NJ. Raucourt is different.
We were rather afraid of him from
the start and had meant to ask such
simple questions as How long have
rou been in the movies ?" (Which do
vou prefer, the silent or the spoken
drama ?" "Who is your favorite act
ressq" and few other things which
orc suggested in the "Interviewers'
Guide
But he didn't wait for US to ask ques-
t;ons. He took it for granted that we
knew what he was taking about and he
talked of Flemish art and Vermeer
and of Cesar Franck and cyclical form
of the Sonata and of Ferhaeren, the
Belgian poet and dramatist, and of the
decline of the piece these in France
and lot of other things we can't even
remember the names of.
As soon as we could we stopped him,
and sticking pencil in his hand and
a piece of copy paper on his knee we
said "Write il in words of one syllable"
So here it is:
ITO distinguish himself from his fell
low animals q modern actor must be
versatile; he must live in contact with
the writers and painters Of his epoch"

operative buying of pictures, has ex-
tended it's activities from the East to
the Middle West, where large increases
in membership were reported last
week.
The united exhibitors believe that
their collective consumer demand will
improve quality. They want closely
knit dramatic stories, voice in the
selection of stars and directors, in
creased studio efficiency, the elimina-
ton of useless scenes and padding"
+ in pictures, and good music, not merely
potpourri of the tunes and jingles
of the day.
The pooling scheme of the coop
orators calls for an initial fund of $780,.
900 for the purchase of features on
the "studio cost plus-producer' s-reason-
able profit" plan. Instead of leasing
prints, United Theatres will buy each
picture outright, make its own prints,
engage composers to write the special
music and distribute everything to
the members direct, each paying small
fraction Of the aggregate cost. "Over-
head" and distributing expense will be
cut to minimum. Ultimately the ex
hibitors expect to reduce their film
costs and at the same time give the
public better shows.
