Such is her role in the comedy of

Colleen S 5; Foreign Films.

COLLEEN MOORE, film star, will
make four pictures abroad at the
expiration of her present contract
with First National Pictures. accord
ing to an announcement made in New
York by John Mccormick general
manager of First Nationals, West
Coast production.
According TO Mr.. Mccormick g
statement, Miss Moore will start her
European production plans in. the Fall
Of 1927 and will make one picture in
England, one in Germany, one in
France and one, in Italy. AS. far: as
conditions make it possible, foreign
directors. STATS, cast and technical
equipment will be used. -
Several stories are under considera-
ton. All of them will be from books
or plays of international reputation.
Special studio facilities for the MAX
ing of these pictures will be provided.
t'Twinkletoes" is a forerunner Of
this series, as Miss Moore and her
. husband made a special trip to Lon
don last Summer to get the proper at
mosphere for Thomas Burke's classic
tale of Limehouse, the Chinatown of
the English capital.
I'VE believe" says Mccormick,
that making four pictures abroad
will go long way toward promoting
better understanding among 1lm pro-
ducers. exhibitors and distributors
throughout the world, as we'll as pro-
ducing a much needed atmosphere of
internationalism In the film world.
There has been considerable con-
troversy recently over foreign films
versus American films. r..
First National believes that the
best results for the picture-g going pub
lie of the world at large will be OBJ
tanned when cooperation and mutual
interest exist between the picture
producers of all countries.
German directors have been
brought over to study our methods,
and one of them, Lothar Mendes, has
just completed one of the best pic
, lures of the year-'The Prince of
Tempters.' -

been hired. and in return we now
