fident, and 1t enhances and builds
up the courage of the tinid.
Proof of the success of this or.
ganization is on every hand.
Mere words are not needed.
Box-office lines at the theater
doors and the unanimous voice of
critics scross the continent unite
in testifying to the efficacy of
the M. G.. NJ. plan.
With q general average of sue
cess which should please even the
most captious, the newly formed
production company has within
the fifteen months since its in
cebtion produced at least two pic
lures which promise to rank for
years among world famous achieve
ments.
In Won Stroheim's 1.-The Merry
Widow" already reaping a whirl-
wind of applause wherever shown,
lies one Of the great and sur
>prisingly splendid winners of the
big cinema field. Even more ire
nlendous is the promise OF THE
Big Parade" recently completed
and already declared one of the
most overwh Ginning Of screen pro-
auctions. This picture, shown as
yet only in a few pre-views and
private projection rooms, has
Weakened a. storm of excitement.
It has become overnight a sub
iect of keen interest, and its arts
tic and realistic value is said to
be no less than its obvious box
office power. King Vidor as the
director of this picture will per-
haps be the skyrocket sensation
of 1925; and after many years OF
ratient effort, study and strug-
gle seems of a sudden to have
come into the public eye with
Overwhelming sensationalism.
Before the year is out, too,
that much discussed and gigantic
production, "Ben-Hur," will be
ready for the projection machine,
and in that will undoubtedly lie
still another triumph on the side
of this organization.

Among other big releases an
ticipated for this year will be

Midshipman," marking the stellar
debut of Ramon Novarro.

gigantic whole for which credit to
this young organization is due.
More than half hundred films
will go out of the studio this year
and of these the proportion or
success is generally well above
the average.
No one knows quite how this
remarkable combination OF men
came together. No one, that is,
but Mr.. Mayer, and II he was
conscious at the time of the i'm
port of his powers of selection he
gave no sign Of especial inspira-
ton. But on the whole the re,
suit indicates unusual ffnesse both
in the original grouping and in
the division Of labor.
ct didn't know myself how
well 1t would turn out" admits
Mr.. Mayer.
Here we were, described / sup.

time producer from a side street
myself; a mere STRIPPING with
but brief experience and authority
-ThaIberg, and a Snowman,
whose efforts had been limited
always to unimportant produc-
tions'-that's Rapf. The descrip
ton would have been fair enough.
Il could form no estimate Of the
possible triumph we might achieve,
but could only realize that these
were the men in whom had con-
fidence and in whose judgment
and executive ability l trusted.
With those elements we made
our start. How we'll it has work
ed out and how satisfactory our
alliance has been both to each
other and our public our film out
put alone must tell"
None of the figures in the or
ganization can point out the
identical place wherein lies the
secret of success.
Outsiders gaze with amaze
ment and envy at the achieve
ment Of these three youngsters"
in production activity.
But the strength of this three
link circle is in the ascendant,
and names of Mayer, Thalberg and
Rapf already loom large in the
bright galaxy Of film fame. The
successful ''big three" is now aug
mented by the presence of Hunt
Stremberg. His affiliation with
these studio executives promises
less strenuous effort on the part
OF each, and brings into the exec
utive ranks another youthful and
vibrant personality.

Behold a triumph in organiza-

See how quietly without blare

long-fought battle of the films

Since cinematic history began
the conscious aim has been to

MAMMOTH MINE TO
BE BOUGHT, REPORT

TUCSON, Oct. 4.-Negotiations
are now under way by certain in
dividuals connected with the In
piration mines, acting as indivi-
duals, to purchase the Mammoth
and Mohawk mines with veiw to
increasing development of those
properties, it was stated in Tucson
mining circles yesterday. The
Pickwick mine and other proper
ties in that section are also
thought to be under consideration.
The Mammoth, which was oper-
ated by the late Col. Epes Raj
dolph and associates, during the
World War was one of the largest
producers Of molybdenum in Ari-
zona, and was long a record gold
producer. The increased value OF
lead, which is near wartime level,
together with the assurance of ap-
pr0ximatelv ST per ton gold from
the workings. is said to be fac
tor ir negotiations now under way.
Placing The Mammoth, Mo

that section under more active pro-
duction would mean much to Iuc-
