COMEDY FEATURES NEW FILM CYCLE

FIJI MS
BY A. nj. JAMESON

The marked advance to public
favor Of such fun-makers as VIM
ME Lightner, Harry Green, Rob-
ert W6olsey, Jack Oakie and FL
Brendel has about convinced the
maestros Of Hollywood that the
next big trend or cycle Of photo
play mass production should be
comedy features.
We have had feveriSh runs Of
underworld, mystery, backstage,
college and courtroom films; now
the vogue turns to comedies. rang
ing from such antique farceS as
''Charlie's Aunt" to Oakie'S latest,
"A Social Lion"
The public calls the turn and
the StatiSticians who analyze box
office crosses have sent out the
word that the new crop of laugh.
producers are leading the field at
preSenS; and that without any
great support from Harold Lloyd,
Buster Keaton, and others Of the
standard pattern.
So look out for comedies next
fall. It Is a pity that most Of
them will come in a rush and "all
punched together" so to speak,
but such is the Hollywood COM
petitive spirit and way Of doing
business.

Amos n Andy

Amos n Andy are in the heavy
work of comforting with RK-O
officials over their forthcoming
debut in the talkies.
It has been decided that the
shook" for our 6 o'clock cvme-
dians is to be written by Kalmar
and Ruby, and also the lyrics
and music, for this time Amos
n Andy are to be equipped with
something approaching a full
fledged musical comedy.
Nationwide interest, we sup
pose, awaits the announcement
Of the lucky Hollywoodians chosen
to play the parts of Madame
Queen, Ruby Taylor, Kingfish
and Pat Pending.
Apropos of the huge marginal
difference in, craftsmanship being
shown in Hollywood in the blend
ing of the old technic of the
cinema with that of the talkie,
we find these words of Brock
Pemberton gets at the core of
the situation:
1ne silent picture was more
narrative than dramatic. The
talkies is more dramatic than
narrative, though some of the
backward folks in the industry
don't know it yet"
In the future it seems probable
that the public will force the
industry to get out of the idea
that a film in the new style is
merely a vocalized motion PIC
ture. The pictorial side of the
coming screen will have exactly
the same function as scenery on
the legitimate stage, no more and
no less. This is, of course, jump
ing a few leagues into the fu-
ture, but it is inevitable.
There need be no limitations to
the screen in its appeal to the
eye, but the spectacular is no sub
stitute for real drama, nor is the
narrative or visual method Of
telling a tale more than clumsy
makeshift for the real dramatic
method.
