DRESSLERONCE
GRABBED A
BAD PART
By ANDREW r. KELLEY

Those who profess a more in
Etimate knowledge of conditions in
and around the front line
trenches vouch for the fact that
the two-fisted drinking which was
shown in Journeys End" and
now in The Dawn Patrol" is a
close to the truth portrait. And
Still I doubt it.
It struck me that the drinking
was much overdone in both pic
lures. The Captain Stanhope OF
Journeys End" was continually
: fitting the bottle. although we are
led to believe he seldom passed
out. He was runl-soaked and nurs-
ing the Jug constantly, tossing
off one big hooker after another
) and still capable Of clear think
ing and commanding men in
battle as well as their respect.
Unless he was a marvel at hold
ing his liquor, the load which
Captain Stanhope was alleged to
have consumed in Journeys
End was sufficient excuse for
him to have walked out into No
Mans Land and challenged the
whole German army. That Is, If
he reacted to his SchnappS. like
the average tippler.
In "The Dawn Patrol the
Major Brant, who leads the air
squadron, finds the solution of
every problem in Have Another" :"
He never gets noticeably tight,
although he bends the elbow
without any excuse. I have
always thought, and still like to
think, that both civilian and war
laviatorS consider hangover or
q case of Shaky nerves liability
for those who must ride the air.
The only answer for it all was
that the liquor consumed back OF
the lines must have been better
stuff than they're serving in 1880

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 12.--One
Hollywood company is taking
steps to solve that troublesome
British quota problem.
E. B. Derr, president of PaThe,
is on his way to New York to ar
range for the production of four
pictures during the coming year.
The British quota law, which
has made strong film executives
weep in Hollywood, requires that
English theaters show home-pro-
duced pictures for at least 712 per
cent of their running time. 1t also
provides that only one American
actor can be used in the cast OF
any film that our studios make
over there. The directors must lie
English. too.
Here is how Pathe will solve the
problem. They will send Ann
Harding, Constance Bennett,
Helen Twelvetrees and William
Boyd, all established stars, to work
in the four pictures. And since
they must have an English di-
rector they will put an American
director over him as producer.
Paul Stein, who is well known
abroad. will be the first of these
specially created producers. Upon
his return, Pathe will send E. H.
Griffith, who directed Holiday"
(and what a swell job he did
OF it's Tay Garnett will be the
third.
It also is planned to hire Span
ish and German actors to maze
foreign versions over there.
Mr.. Derr has other big plans for
Pathe in this country. And with
a grand comedy like Holiday" to
his credit. people are going to
listen to him.
