The announcement that Fired

probably be an early film ifnportA.
ton to America recalls the days
not so long ago when people said
that the three and four reel pic
ture would never be able to find a
market. "F'redericus Rex" is said
60 be-and doubtless Is, for that
matter-the longest motion picture
ever made. In Europe they are
exhibiting it in four installrnents
of ten reels each. All of which
prompts the question--what is
the ideal length for feature
film? B. P. Schulberg. president
of Preferred Pictures, has given
his opinion as follows.
mo definite length can be set.

different treatment according to

81 don't believe for a moment
that the 'Fredericus Rex type of

For the last five years there
have been innumerable bids for
the motion picture rights to THE
Bird of Paradise" the play which
brought Lenore Uric, Bessie Bar
riscale, Laurette Taylor, and in
Vulnerable other stars to fame

Tully, the author, always refused
to- sell the screen rights to his
play, saying that one day he
would make it himself. Now it
seems he intends to keep his
word. AS soon as he finishes
'Trilby" he will start on his new
picture, which will have for it's
star some headliner. But who
will play Luana has not yet been
decided.
