Says William Fox, as He Tells
OF Coming Seasons Schedule

Pcssimists and others who cry
calamity are answered by William
Fox, presiden. of the Fox Film Cor
poration, one Of the largest producing
companies in the world, in an an
nounccment just made to the film
trade dealing with business conditions
throughout the United States.
forecast of conditions can be more
accurately gagged by studying the
pairing itself for the coming months
than in any other way, he says, and
the motion picture industry is the
fourth largest in the world The feel
ing among its leaders, he says. is one
of extreme optimism for the year Just
beginning.
"Thc wise men Of the commercial
world are very frank in stating their
belief that .his country is on the eve
of a period of great prosperity,a period
which, according to al, signs. will be
of long duration" he says. THE en-
suing protit-naking will extend to all
men and women in every walk OF life
and in every trade"
The confidence expressed in the
above is borne out by Fox Film Cor
poration's announcement of produce
tions totaling 273 separate releases
during the new season which is at
hand.
An idea of the magnitude of this
program will be obtained when men
ton is made Of the names Of the
writer's whose works will appear on

These are pictures produced at great
expense and upon which much time
and care are lavished They usually
reach the public first on the screens
of the largest theaters.
Upon the Fox list of stars there is
the name of William Farnum, whose
first production for the new season
is screen presentation of Justin
Huntly McCarthy's stage success and
novel, IF were King" This picture

Interesting Chat and Stage Gossip for Playgoers .
What's in Big Theater?
Annual Question Asked
As Hippodrome Opens

With the premiere of Good Times"
at the Hippodrome tomorrow night
Charles Dillingham; will present his
sixth annual production at the big
playhouse under his management and
under the stage direction of r. H.
burnside. Information regarding this
years spectacle is lacking because Mr..
Dillingham's policy always has been one
Of surprise, and his theory that an
nouncements before an opening have
tendency to take the edge from the
anticipation Of Hippodrome patrons has
been continued in effect from year to
year, but enough has been divulged to
indicate that Good Times" will bear
many of the characteristics of its
predecessors.
In this policy Mr.. Dillingham; has
considerable justification. He took
over the Hippodrome after other pro-
ducers had met with Indifferent sue
cess over a period of ten years, and
with spectacle staged on mammoth
scale he realized success. Each of his
five previous productions at the Hippo
drome has played to a greater number
of patrons than its predecessor.
The desire for change and novelty
makes playgoers and amusement seek
ers tickle. but Mr.. Dillingham; puts in
scenes and features which are designed
particularly for the amusement of chill
dren, and this element, alone probably
makes his amusement market one of
the most stable in the world. Fairy
lands. toyshops. bookshops which come
to life, and countless other scenes
built upon the things of childhood
have been used with remarkable effect
in other years, and doubtless there
is something of like nature in this
years show. Every year the Hippo
drome has an elephant act, and
Powers Elephants, featured in other
years, again will be part of the offer
ing
Mr.. Burnside likes elephants because
a herd of the massive beasts on the
vtstness of the Hippodrome stage and
show. Circus novelties are included
III every show at the big playhouse,
and this year the Hannefords are back
for their third season. Before the war
Mr.. Dillingham's policy was to import
novelties from the European theaters
for the Hippodrome. The war, of
course. interfered with this policy, but
for Good Times" Kara and Sex, novel
ty acrobats; Ferry Convey a musical
clown; Max Teuber, the Four Roses,
Sascha Platov, Mile. Natalie, as
well as others ali coming direct to
the Hippodrome, are engaged.
But colossal spectacles with the
elements of color, Illusion, striking
contrasts and motion with the stage
filled with dancers and singers-as
many as 500 persons have been on the
stage at one time in some Hippodrome
scenes-always have been the back
bone of the Hippodrome spectacles.
The tank, with its capacity of 100000
gallons of water and hundreds of
chorus girls, has been a fruitful base
for Mr.. Burnside's inventive genius,
and this year the tank again will be
