HOLLYWOOD, Cau., May II.
COME think the influx of German
- made films is to cause a serious
sIump in the business. German pro-
ductions are made for possibly tenth
of the cost Of ours, but are not tcchni-
cally correct-as yet.
One big firm bought thirty Ave or
forty German films. Out. Of these fve
are TO be released, but because Of the
low price paid for the forty the deal is
a happy one.
"Passion" and "Gipsy Blood are
two of them. II ] am correct. "Decep-
tion" and Mistress OF the World are
two more. However, of this i am not
certain.
When the Cabinet OF DR.. Caligari"
was shown at Miller's Theatre, Los
Angeles, the American Legion picketed
the theatre, urging theatregoers not to
patronize an enemj made picture. The
film still drew large houses, so last
Sunday night the boys bombarded the
audience with ancient eggs.
The manager sent out quick word
that he capitulated and another film
was substituted. .EL
