Harold Lloyd, who enjoys the

While it is guess work as to
just how much wealth the
comedian has acquired as a side
issue in the business of making
laughs, conservative estimates
place his personal fortune at
$15,000,000. His H ollyw ood
home is assessed for more than
$1,0O0,OOO.
Mr.. Lloyd finds that the
talkies present new problems
for the making of comedies.
There is, for instance, the task
of keeping good laughs from
getting smothered by applause.
Thus, in "Welcome Danger" a
number of good gags rock the
audience with laughter. Just as
soon as the mirth erupts Mr..
Lloyd is compelled by the action
to shoot a nifty remark de-
signed to keep the fun moving.
1t was found that audiences
were laughing so loud some of
the best lines were hopelessly
lost in the noise. This diff
Guilty was never encountered in
silent pictures because the screen
title solved the problem. All of
which means that making talk
ing comedies require fine timing,
fair idea of what gags will
register riotiously, and due al
lowance for audience laughter
in order that the fun can sink in.
Things like these" says Mr..
. Lloyd, "are why my pictures are
not turned out more frequently.
Sometimes we work for weeks
on a single gag, and before l
decided to experiment with
sound I watched at least 100
short sound comedies in movie
theaters. The laughs were
timed and the volume of au-
dience noise estimated. 1t meant
a lot of hard work. but l think
when the public gets "Welcome
Danger" it will agree that the
long wait was justified"

GLEANINGs & SCREENINGS
By ANDREW r. KELLEY

R-K-O, when it reopens Keith's,
will go right into active COM
petition with the straight movie
houses. That is, it will provide
a straight movie show on the
grind policy at the same top
prices as the other District
first-run theaters. No reserved
seats.
"The Middle Watch" the jolly
farce of British seamen which
we saw at the Belasco last week
failed to reach first base with
! the New York critics. The con-
census opinion appeared to be
"old-fashioned in theme, too long
drawn out and only mildly
amusing"
Lawrence Chamberlain, who
delivers William Fox's financial
message via Movietone, makes
the mistake of talking too long
for the average theater audi
ence. However, for those who
fail to pay close attention, it
may be stated that the screen
speech is all neatly set down
in the booklets which are being
distributed as Fox patrons exit.
Such experienced and seasoned
performers as AL Jolson, George
Jessell, Fannie Brice and Sophie
Tucker have made the mistake
of thinking that they can sing
steadily for five minutes with
the cameras trained constantly
on their faces and hold atten-
tion. 1t can't be done and the
experience of Banker Chamber
lain in a lengthy monologue
only confirms this belief.
No definite announcement is
ready yet on the result of the
William Fox experiment which
aims to make stockholders of
his regular theater patrons.
What indicates the plan appears
to arouse substantial interest is
the fact that movie-goers are
taking the booklets home, where
the exact financial status of the
Fox enterprises can be closely
studied and the possibility of
profitable investment scanned.
The closest scrutiny is invited.
The late Marcus Loew tried
the plan of selling stock in his
theaters to the patrons of the
seats. 1t was never under
taken on the comprehensive
and extensive scale as the pres
ent over-the-counter movement.
Peace looms in Philadelphia
with signs that the armistice be-
tween the musicians and the
theater managements will be
signed before the week is over.
The Philadelphia hotel men
were the meditators who used a
big stick to force a settlement
of the labor dispute which has
closed the doors of all legiti-
mate theaters since September.
The bonifaces threatened to let
out all union musicians and run
the hotels without music unless
some arrangement was reached.
Dinner trade and after theate-
restaurant business has dropped
to nothing in the big hotels as
a result of the darkened places
of amusement.
Under the peace proposals the
musicians drop their demand for
a guaranteed season and also
make concessions on the new
wage scale.
Broadway is having hard
time figuring cut just what's
what in Boston censorship.
"Strange Interlude" was barred
but Richard Bennett in "Jarne-
gan" was permitted to appear
after his script was toned down.
Bert Lytell, in his play
'Brothers," was told that it
would be useless for him to try
to play in Boston. but Mae West
