Jesse L. LASKY, of the Famous

nounced that in the future the COM
pany will concentrate all its feature
producing in it's big new studio in
HOLLYWOOD. Transfer of production
activities from the Long Island studio
will be affected as each unit finishes
its current picture.
For some time" said Mr.. Lasky,
1--WE have been making about % per
cent of our pictures in the East.
This was partly due to the fact that
our old studio in Hollywood did not
offer facilities for more production.
Last Fall, however, we opened our
new studio, which is the biggest and
best equipped in the world and capa-
BILE of taking care of all our produc-
ton activities in one plant.
Even in the short time since the
new studio has been functioning, ex-
perience has shown that. with the
efficient producing organization we
have built up out there, we can make
all our pictures in Hollywood and
make them better than under the
present system Thus all our produc-
ing activities in the future will be
concentrated in the motion picture
capital of the world. which has at
tracted to itself all OF the artists, di'
.rectors, writer's and other creating
forces engaged in the production OF

There will be no reduction in our
production schedule. On the other
hand, we shall make ae many pictures
as last year and possibly more.
