"Tnen 1t seemed that Mrs. Mead

Film Makers WAKING Up.

THAT Broadway stage producers
who have been holding up the
motion picture companies for fancy
prices for the screen rights TO their
plays VIII in the future find the
movies rather slim pickings," in so
far as at least one of the biggest COM
panies is concerned. was forecast at a
luncheon of the Associated Motion
Picture Advertisers in New York last
week.
The guest of honor and principal
speaker was Richard A. Rowland, gen.
eral manager of First National Pic
lures. elected some time ago by his
hosts as one of the twelve I'M
inortals" of the film industry.
Mr.. Rowland pointed out that First
National has purchased only two
plays this year for production and
asserted that the company would go
very slowly about buying any more.
Take the average stage play" he
said with much feeling. THE average
producer thinks that when he has
a production on Broadway all he has
10 do Is sit back after the play has
run for three or four months. and
some sucker producer OF motion pic
sures will come along and pay from
$50 goo to $4,000 for it.
Il do not see where the average
play which has had run of three or
four months on Broadway is worth
any more than the average short
story might be worth. unless the
stage production has a particular
value for a particular star which we
would be willing TO pay a big price
to build up.
A'1n many cases the most successful
