Marcus Loew, who just returned

arranged to have the Metro studio
enlarged to take care Of the In
creased production. ..t
Mr., Loew said he did not be-
lieve the big pictures on the
order of THE Prisoner OF Zenda"
and "Trifling Women" could mix
with the unimportant story with
inconspicuous. cast. "We have
eliminated all the small stuff"
said he, "and because these spe-
cials need SO much more space we
are building three new stages to
handle them"
Viola Bana, who has been
starred in Metros program pic
lures. will be transferred to the
big productions.
Mr.. Loew. in commenting on
the market. said each one Of
Metros pictures would stand on
its own merit. 1t will not be q

the larger production. No ex-
hibitor will be obligated to take
