ANOTHER CRISIS
IN MOVIELAND;
SALARIES CUT.

A battle apparently starts to re
duce the high cost of making NOV
les, especially the fabulous salaries
paid to movie stars. Adolph Zukof
announces that the eastern and
western Famous Plsyers-Lasky
film studios will shut down, halt
ing work by 16 companies of movie
actors.
Some Of the stars affected br
the shutdown are Pola Negri, Bebe
Daniels. Williams S. Hart, Gloria
Swanson and Thomas Meighan.
Production costs sre too high, in
addition to overproduction, says
Zukor. He says he's aiming for "a
lowering of movie salaries, cost of
staging and mechanical expenses.
The making Of movies is only
secondarily an art. Primarily it is
business, as mach so as selling
sausages or hardware or groceries.
The public knows this, and it
naturally must be surprised that
producers find the cost, Of making
pictures too high, in view Of what
the public pays to see the films.
It is quite possible, and prob
able, that Zukor's shutdown viii
mean an end of "super-films" and
return to simplicity.
The theater met the same sort Of
crisis years ago. Shows had been
running to the extremely spectac-
ular. Production costs had become
almost prohibitive Then Eugene
Walter wrote paid in Full" start
ing an epidemic Of plays with
small casts. Producers naturally
liked the small cast idea: few act
ors to pay, few scenery changes. A
show could be tried out on the
dog with out gambling much
money.
The small cast injected real art
into the American theater.
This bit of history may repeat
in the movies.

the war, there has been a decided
increase in the number of boy ba-

smaller number of girl babies.
The tendency has been noticed

SPEED.

A new system of rapid writing
is being adopted by many business
firms. It's called Brief English
by Emma B. Dearborn, who invent
ed it. The idea seems to be to
write things as they sound when
spoken quickly. For instance,
"Suitor held for MURDER" would
be written "Sutr Id fl mdr."
The penalty of all kinds of fast
writing is that they encourage
fast thinking. Few rapid thinkers
are thorough or accurate.

A BOOST.

It's quite the proper thing of late
To knock, belabor and berate
Our country for its packard state
In ways artistic.
To say that dollars are our goal
And all we think of is "a roll"
And that our people have a soul
Commercialistic.
I'm fed up on that sort of stuff.
We like the shekels we'll enough
And so, in spite of all their bluff,
Do other nations.
But for the poets singing line,
For music, painting and design
We, too, possess some very fine
Appropriations.
Commercial? That we can't deny.
And that, undoubtedly, is why
These uncommercial peoples vie
To tap our Golfer;
And artists, singers, actors come
From everywhere in Chirstendom
Because we'll pay the largest sum
For what they offer!
r., e.
I'm sick of supereilious cliques,
Who with the masses never mix.
And yet who will presume to fix
Our state artistic.
Get down beneath the surface, find
The sould of US, the heart and
mind,
You've got bunch, fairfi generous
kind,
Idealistic!
So, though to knock is quite the
style,
choose to wave the flag awhile!
