for six years. These will be
known as Morris Gest spec
tacles.
Although production win not
start until next February, Mr..
Gest s. made 1t clear that this
ARRANGEMENT is more than a
dream. His first picture is al
ready selected. 1t will be THE
Darling OF the Gods" the roman
tic drama OF old Japan written
by David Belasco and John
Luther Long nearly twenty-five
years ago. Belasco has always
refused to release the screen
rights OF this, one of his great
est successes. Perhaps the fact
that Morris Gest is his son-in-
law partly accounts for his pres
ent assent.
The announcement was made
with great ceremony this after
noon. at four precisely. in Mr..
Gest's offices. A pretty Japanese
girl In appropriate costume lent
the proper atmosphere. It was
q very fitting background for a
discussion OF THE Darling OF
the Gods
OF course, admitted Mr. TEST,
the cast has not even been dis
cussed. Production is too far
off. He does intend to direct
the entire picture himself. Warn
ed that he might find the screen
very distant from the stage, the
producer nodded. He may, and
he is willing to study the diff
ference. Although never active
in motion pictures, he has al.
ways been interested. It was
he who persuaded Geraldine Far
rar to make the screen version
of Carmen"
Joseph M. Schenck welcomed
the new member Of his organiza-
ton by saying:
IL have long felt that Mr..
Gest's genius for presentation
OF such spectacIes as The
Miracle 'Aphrodite' and 'Chu
Chin Chow could best find ex'

POLICY
DEFENDED

That the policy OF Dodge Broth
ers. Inc. in adding car improve
ments from time to time instead OF
bringing out yearly models, has been
justified by recent developments. Is
the contention of Raphael Semmes,
Dodge Brothers dealer in Washing,
ten.
"A change in models" Mr.. .Semmes
points out, involves a complete
change of dies and production
schedules, 1t upsets a factory and
often means a virtual stoppage of
production. This naturally means
loss to the manufacturer and his
only recourse Is to get it back In
the price OF his product. The saw.
ing effected by Dodge Brothers,
through the policy Of gradual re.
finement instead of radical annual
changes OF models, Is returned to
the, buyer in the form of surplus
value. Every dollar saved, of
course, enables the factory to give
that much more for the money.
1.-The practice of bringing out new
models every year Is also respon.
sible for a slow.up OF sales during
the summer months. People hold
off, waiting to see what the new
models are like. The fact that
Dodge Brothers sales this year on
August 26 exceeded the entire year
Of 1925. Is another indication of the
confidence engendered by the prac-
tice of not issuing annual models.
Coming at this time when many
manufacturers have issued new
models. in keeping y it'll annual Gus.
tom, our policy serves as a whole
sale reinsurance to prospective buy
ers. They dislike the idea of buy
ing car today and finding a month
o. so later that it is obsolete. The
depreciation loss is out of proper
ton for a few months use. More
over, most people like to be up.to.
date in their motor equipment and
if they wish to follow their desire
in this respect they must accept
this depreciation
