Production in west coast and
Long Island film studios has
reached point of definite limita-
tons. Stars must be supplied
with only the types Of stories
they can best do; costs OF crea-
ton must be kept within certain
amounts; getting picture in the
first-run houses has become an
important factor and consequently
producers are anxious to present
each vehicle of each star under
conditions that promise long life
in second and third run houses.
Too, production has balanced
itself in effect. chiefly because or
public demand. THE Greater

assuming a closer connection with
the public itself and the sort or
production this public favors.
Such makers of movies as Para

This makes for two striking re-

higher planes OF accomplishment.

NAVAJO SWEETIES DO
THE COURTING, LADS

Most of the Navajos, says Holt,
can talk enough English to get
around New York, and the white
man finds Navajo words fairly
easy to pick UP under Indian
tutelage.
Another thing Holt discovered
was the Navajos' waning faith
in, their own medicine men. The,
Wild Horse Mesa" company had
a physician in attendance during
the time they were on location
and when the Indians discovered
1t, this young medico picked up

VIENNA BLOCKS PROGRESS
WITH UNCONTROLLED TALK

vienna, June l6.-RD-A COM
mittee Of the Austrian National As
sembly, for a period of two months
past, has been giving striking ex-
hibition of obstruction Of the public
business by nrocess of talking a
measure to death. There is no reg
ulatlOn to prevent the committee
men from speaking forever, and some
of them have declared their inten-
ton to talk until they gain their
point, irrespective of the merits of
the case.
There came before the committee
the question of nominating a chair
man to look into the question Of city
rents. The Social Democrats were
opposed to DR.. Kienbock, former
minister of finance, who was desired
by maj of the committee.
They began a series of endless
speeches on the duties of the chair
man, and have kept this up for
eight weeks. Any accomplishment
has, of course, been completely OBJ
structed. One member, Herr Witter-
nigg, has spoken for 43 hours, spread
over a period of seven days. He
recently announced he would "mum-
ble" for seven days more. His
method is to utter a word every 80
seconds, or two words a minute, and
thus to prolong indefinitely his
discourse.

MAIN STREET
AND BABBITT
AREIMPR0VINC
Sinclair Lewis Says American
People Full of Bunk and
Self-cOnsciOusness
BY GENE COIN
NEA Service Writer

New York, June 1C.-Attention,
Rabbits! In case you are not
aware of it, you have progress sed
materially since Sinclair Lewis, writ
er, first made your name a byword
Furthermore, your Main Street
shows slight improvement as the
years go by.
Babbitt has grown more tolerant
to the arts; his tastes are pitched
bit higher; he doesn't laugh quite
as loud at poets and things esthetic,
though he still shouts a lot about
things Of which he knows little or
nothing. Such is the report of the
creator of Babbitt and Main Street
who recently returned from Europe
and has had an opportunity to sur
vey his American people and scene
anew.
"The great American maady is
sel-consciOusness," says the fiery
haired and nervously intense Lewis.
It's the first thing that strikes you
after watching the Europeans.
I'VE care too much about what is
said of US or what people think of
US. We worry too much what We are
going to do about things. In Amer-
ca the writer says to himself: i am

this: 4 am writer and | write.

"Why should anyone give a hang
what Sinclair Lewis writes about
him? Or, to 20 one better, why give
a hang what Bernard Shaw or Ana
tole France, or anybody else. thinks !
The trouble is we're full of the bunk
of self-consciousness.
II write a book about Rabbits and
people rush to the defense and
shout at me or uphold me, as the
case may be. Why should Babbitt
or anyone else. give a continental

the car he drives or the style of his
tie?
."Any cafe offers a fine picture OF
what Pm driving at. An American
walks into restaurant and lets a
waiter select for him dishes he can't
afford and doesn't even desire par
ticularly. In Europe the diner frank
ly@says: 4 can't afford that. What
