The Moving Picture
By Robert f. Sherwood

THE motion picture industry Is
= about to enter what is known as
the dead period. which starts with the
appearance OF the first robin and
comes to an end around Labor day.
The dead period is socalled, aptly
enough because business in the film
parlors is always at low ebb during
the Spring and Summer months.
When the ring of the base ball bat,
the swish of the mashie, the eager
chirp of the budding crOcus and the
plaintive honk of the truant Ford are
heard through the land. the citizens
develop an understandable predilec-
ton for fresh air and the joys of ma
ture. They are not lured past the
box Office by the signs which read
"20' Cooler Inside. In fact. they
stay away in droves. AS result. the
movie theaters are apt TO be empty
and there is nothing more useless than
an empty movie theater. Not even a
full one.
Thus il comes about that the movie
producers release their worst pictures
during the dead period. knowing that
patronage will be low anyway and
that it is futile to waste brilliant en-
terta inment on unoccupied seats. OF

course. they don't consider the feel
ings of the poor movie critics who are
compelled to see pictures week in and

There are very few plea SAINT pros
poets, therefore, on the immediate
horizon. Cecil B. De Miles latest
mammoth production. THE Nolga
Boatmen," will be along within the
next few weeks. This is a screen
version of the famous Russian song,
directed by Mr.. De Mile lin person)
and played by cast that includes
William Boyd.

Otherwise, nothing much of impOr-

will come with a rush.
