A Movie CITY.

IMMEDIATE construction Of IS addi-
tional buildings at Fox Movietone
I City. Beverly Hills, has been ordered
to accommodate the increase in produc-
ton scheduled for the coming year.
More than $2,00O000 will be involved
in the additions to the walled Aim city
which already represents an outlay OF
100000
The new structures will include a
music hall, cafe seating 500 persons,
q wardrobe building another double
soundproof stage. a Movietone engineer
ing building, dressing room building,
a scene dock and five BUNGALOWS OF
unusual design and purpose.
The music hall will be the home of
the symphony orchestra. In addition
to oficeS, copyists' rooms and arrangers'
rooms, 1t viii contain large assembly
hall.
The Cafe de Paris, modelled after the
sidewalk cafes Of the French capital,
Will accommodate 275 persons In its
main dining room, 80 persons in each
OF private rooms and more than $50
persons on the veranda, which will be
covered and surrounded with removable
glass panels.
OF perhaps the most Importance will
be the engineering building. In the
research department of this building
will be quartered 20 engineers. In the
testing department all lights, cables,
alnplifiers and other equipment will be
gone over at regular intervals.
A large building will house the largest
Wurlitzer pipe organ on the Pacific
Coast, a lotion affair now in stage l..
From its new home 1t will be possible
to furnish music to any Of the 10
soundproof stations through q tele-
phonic process.
The dressing room building will be
more like an apartment house. It will
contain Is star suites, consisting of
lounging rooms, dressing room and
bath. The interior of each apartment
will be finished in accordance with the
wishes of the star who will be its occu-
pant. The three song-writing teams"
now under contract to Fox will each
have a bungalow, fully equipped musi
cally. Work already has been started
on an especially designed bungalow for
Will Rogers.
Next door to Rogers bungalow soon
will rise that of John Mccormack, the
Irish tenor, who will arrive in Septem-
Der to fulfill his Fox contract.
First construction work at this 140-
acre city started on July % Of last year.

THE Warner Brothers, moving picture
producers and promoters, evidently
are not believers in the doctrine Of al
truiSm. Their business, next to making
and selling pictures, with all that goes
with it. Is conducted for the purpose of
making money. and one of the ways
of making money is to cut down the
overhead expenses in the business you
are conducting, regardless OF other con-
sequences.
In June. 1922, Harry NJ. Crandall,
then owner Of the largest chain Of
theaters ever known In the District Of
Columbia, with q public spirit rare in
its quality, and purely as a side enter
prise for the welfare Of the local pub
lie, established what he called the De-
partment of Public Service and Educa-
ton, under the direction of Mrs. Har-
riet Hawley Locher. II was the FIRST
formed within the movie industry. But
it became in time contributing fac
tor in the city's community life, and its
accomplishments were Of such mani
fest advantage to the city'S welfare
that 1t became not only nationally but
internationally known. It was not long
before other localities were following In
its footsteps and also were claiming the
credit of initiating its endeavors.n
AIlOHS lLte movements
sponsored and encouraged to the limit
by Mr.. Crandall'S Department of Public
Service and Education, which was con-
Quoted without outside contribution so
far as its expenses were concerned were
the cause of visual instruction work for
the benefit of the public schools and
what was known as the Americaniza-
ton School. Under Mrs. Locher's I'M
restrained guidance selected picture
programs we're exhibited on Saturday
mornings and their contribution to the
needs Of the child was such at time
when much was being said OF his de-
moraliZation by the general picture
programs exhibited to the public, that
the work became basic In the plans for
similar movements elsewhere through
out the country.
Representative women from the club
life Of Washington becoming interested
in Mrs. Locher'S efforts In this direc-
ton and in her study groups. were soon
enabled to contribute to their own or
CARNATIONS practical, constructive and
fundamental information for the solu-
ton Of motion picture problems. ESpe-
cially did the Americanization School
prove Of inestiInable worth in the en-

close a considerable number of its lavish
theaters, discharge most Of its en-
ployes and debate all Of its extraYagant
ideas. What is more, it will have tc
learn TO survive without the aid OF
mechanical novelties, which are actually
no more than temporary shots in the
arm.
Whether or not. 10 sa4rzes vs.
vive is q csaSt-r OF relatively smait :n:-
po-.Arice. The real question is whethc.
or not the moving picture will survive
as medium Of entertainment. 1t has
needed heroic stamina to live through
its past ordeals and through the grue-
some Encouragement to which it has
been subjected. When you consider
the incredible number of feature pic
lures that have been produced in the
past few years and the extent to which
they have been oversold and the STAN
dard Of mediocrity that they have main
tanned and the burdens of wastefulness
and bunk that they have carried you
cannot help wondering how it happened
that in this huge and dreary array there
should have appeared The Covered

Big Parade" or The Gold Rush." o.

morphine the goose that lays their
golden eggs and forced her to work
overtime. Up to now that goose has
rniraculously avoided being cooked, but
its luck cannot continue forever.
THERE was q time when 1t seemed
= that the movie industry had learned
its lesson as result Of the terrific up
heaval caused by the talkies. It seemed
that the business was going TO be re-
organized on a more sensible. more
substantial basis. But THE Broadway
Melody" has evidently spoiled all
chances Of that For now every picture
must be made on the same scale as
THE Broadway Melody" so that it will
earn a staggering amount of money.
There is no longer much likelihood that
the producers will make some Of their
pictures so ineXpensively that they may
be limited to small and appreciative
audience. The old boX-office story is
repeating itself.
1t is my personal belief that the
screen. given the addition Of sound,
color and stereoscopic depth. can ac-
complish artistic miracles that now are
beyond the bounds of Imagination. But
it is extremely improbable that any of
these miracles will come to pass in
Hollywood. Perhaps we shall have to
wait for them until the mechanical
novelties have reached Berlin and
Moscow.

The Moying
BY Robert e. Sherwood.

TIME toy manufacturers have to
turn out fresh novelties for
every Christmas season, due
i perhaps to the fact that chill
dYen are forever growing wiser
ana demanding startling sensations in
entertainment. A new type Of doll may
be invented which can say mamma"
manner. It will be popular for while
and then will suddenly become obso-
lcte, and its sponsors will have to dis
card it and offer a doll that can recite
the Declaration Of Independence and
whistle all the latest airs.
The movie manufacturers now md
themselves in o similar predicament.
Every year or so they have to give the
public another novelty to play with.
The Mov!etone was not the first Of
these novelties. although it was GER
ta!nly the most sensational. 1t is now
10 be followed. apparently, by vastly
increased use Of color photography.
Then will come broad-gauge, grandeur
film," and then microscopic depth. and
then, presumably, other innovations.
AS soon as the customers have grown
weary of one mechanical novelty the
tireless engineers will attempt to turn
out something else.
This Is al very well as long as the
supply of ingenuity lasts. But-what
II 1t should be exhausted? What If
the engineers were suddenly to an
nource. We've invented the last nov
elty?"
This would be an appalling disaster.
1t would mean that the movie pro-
ducers would have to make pictures
Sood enough to stand on their own
artistic merits. In other words, 1t
would mean that the movie producers
would have to shut up shop.
THERE are still many thoughtful
people who believe that when the
talking-c color stereoscopic films have had
their day the public will arise and de-
mand the restoration Of the silent
drama as 1t was known in the days
before the Warner Bros. let noise be
unconhned.
This, of course is an entirely possible
development-for who knows but that
some day q strictly silent black and
white film will be offered as the latest
novelty Of all?
However, II such should be the case,
there is one thing certain: The movie
industry can never go back to the
position 1t occupied In 1927. any more
than Russia II the Soviet government
were to collapse could 60 back to the
Romanon regime.
II the movie industry goes back at all
1t will have to go all the way to the
period Of The Birth of a Nation" and

Bannister's Debut.

HARRY BANNISTER, who has
L i spent the last year touring the
principal cities Of the United States in
the New York Theater Guild produc-
ton Of Strange Interlude," in which
he played one of the featured leads, is
making his screen debut in the pro-
duction Her Private Affairs"
The popular actor was placed under
contract by Pathe several months ago,
but the success enjoyed by Strange In
terlude" heightened its Los Angeles and
San Francisco runs 80 greatly that it
was impossible for the Aim organization
to make use Of Bannister's services I'M
til the present time.
An interesting angle Of Bannisters
role in Her Private Affairs" lies in the
fact that he Is not only playing oppo-
site but portraying the husband Of Ann
Harding, who in private life also Is his
wife.

Charlie Chaplin against entering mo-

to act in pictures and Kelly said,

PICTURE HANGING ON WALL SIDEWAYS WINS
 COVETED PRIZE

NEW YORK, Nov, 21, (P)-Art is art, even when it is awry. Such is the conclusion in art circles here following revelation that Edwin Dickinson won the coveted $500 second Altman prize at the winter exhibition of the National Academy of Design, altho his canvas was hanging on it's side when the digni- fled and learned committee made the award.
 The error was discovered by a photographer and confirmed by the artist himself The painting is one of the few eSoteric canvasses ac- cepted for conservative showing. It was reported the painting had been hung similarly on its side in the 1928 Carnegie International Exhi- bition without art lovers noting the difference.
