 Paramount began making short pictures in foreign languages last April. sd
 Some were made in Swedish French, Czecho- -Slovakian, and three Spanish dialects-Castillian (the court language of Spain), Mexican and Argentinian. Even Esperanto was employed in one picture.
 Despite this activity foreign Ian guage productions are still utterly inadequate to meet demands.
 From the actors standpoint, if he has a reasonably good speaking ac- quaintance with three or four Ian quages, it is not difficult to make versions of a picture in each lan- guage, Robinson says.

 HOLLYWOOD, June 16--Al Jo,- son has finished his current and last outloud for Warner Bros, Big Boy" He and Mrs. Jolson plan to depart the colony in few days enroute to New York and thence to Europe. Al has signed to make his next vocalloid with United Ar lists, but this film doesn't go into production before November. So eastward ho for the Jolsons.
 The Warner lot won't seem the same without Al around. Was it two years ago-or more-that he went to work for that company in "The Jazz Singer? There was more than money staked in "The Jazz Singer"
 And then--zowie! Over the top smashed this first big talky. Panic and delirium in the industry. The outlouds were no longer farce. Hollywood readjusted it's box of flee perspective. Sound stages shot up. Sound equipment was import ed. Millions of dollars in con- structing the new method of pie ture producing. Many producers grumbled loudly and died hard. They looked at the talkies as a fad. A darn, expensive fad.
 Al Jolson, regardless of what he may or may not do in pictures now, goes down in the historical annals of the celluloid industry as the star pioneer whose dynamic name and personality launched the new type entertainment.

She ate a bowl Of spinach for

She was hungry all the time

She cried, cried and cried about

When people called her Big

laughed and showed all her pretty,
even white teeth, but when she
got home she cried about il.
She went without sleep and
without food, and when she heard
that drinking too much water was
fattening she even went without
water.
And she did not lose one pound.
She did not lose even n ounce.
