GOULDING IS
NEAR TOP
in FILMS

If Edmund Goulding ever de-
"cides to retire from the movies he
may do so with the knowledge
and satisfaction that he has con-
quered nearly every important
phase Of this very difficult indus
try. --tsr .+@ .,.t 49,.
AS an actor from the stage he
first achieved success as a per-
former on the silent screen, and
even now is sought aS an actor
and singer in the talkies.
AS a cutter, early in his career,
he was one Of the best.
AS a. Scenarist, he did, among
other silent successes, "Tol'able
David" and then completed THE
Devils Holiday after writing
The TrespaSser."
AS a director, he guided such
silent films as Love" and now
has finished directing Nancy Car
roll in his own play, THE Devils
Holiday"
AS q song writer he turned out
the production melodies for THE
Trespasser" and '"The Devils Hol-
iday," now at Loew's Palace.
In addition to all this. Gould
ing is the author Of many sue
cessful plays which ran in New
York, among them Dancing
Mothers. And then there Is his
novel-"Fury," which ran through
nine editions.
1t begins to look as though Ed
mund Goulding has what it takes
to make q successful author.di-
rector in the talking movies.

ing off the attentions Of her other

NO THREAT
TO FILMS

The television scare" so-called,
seems to be more or less Q will o.
the wisp.
Ifthey are 9 real threat to the
motion picture theaters. the macs
tros are showing marked de-
gree Of unconcern. ANY one,
they are not Immediately prac-
tiacble In q commercial sense, the
technicians say.
Eventually. perhaps, television
will revolutionize the present form
of motion picture entertainment.
!. But 1t Is yet long way off, and
the theater world will be fully
prepared for It when it comes.
Warner Brothers and Radio
Pictures are experimenting with
television, and are gobbling up
all available patents, and keep
ing the picture industry on the
qui vive as to what they are up to.
But one New York expert dis
counts all the rtimorS that emerge
from these studies. He says that
the runors Of television are fan
tastic, mad dreams OF sullnle
goSsips.
Il Is possible that in the next
ten years there will be television
in operation sufficiently perfect
to Justify the est bhshment OF
teleVision theaters. Any fore
casts that embrace complete use
of the invention before that time
are, to say the least, intemperate.
This Is the point Of view Of tele-
vision engineers themselves.
The truth is that q titanic
struggle now is taking place be-
tween two rival and major con-
Germs for Subjugation Of the tele-
vision rights in this country.
Our interest lies mainly in the
struggle; theirs in the discovery
of the motives and activities be-
hind the struggle. One Of them
declares that tests have reached
astonishing perfection. Another
says that secret and awful things
are being done in the way Of tele-
vision experiment.
Experts are offering compre-
hensive and intelligent reports OF
the televiSion situation in New
York. Nothing that they have
learned, justifieS Q panlcky cry
that the theater is doomed; moth
ing that they have learned just1-
fies anything more awesome than
the cool fact that advancement is
being made to the point where,
eventually, we may look for re-
liable teleVision.
It is o curious manifestation,
this annual summer hobgoblin OF
numbering the legitimate. It is
practiced by the idle who sit by
the hour and have nothing more
valuabie to do than bemoan the
imminent demise Of the stage.
The distressing thing is that so
many otherwise sound persons
heed this vacuous debate and put
credence in the pompous fore
casts.
JUST now the struggle for SUI
premacy is the most fascinating
and compelling feature Of the |
whole television business. In that |
struggle there is wealth, poverty, |
suicide and the essentials Of
enormous and gratifying power. |
The victor will emerge q titan in |
this world, q mighty force for |
educStion and propaganda. 1t
will be force that win require
regulation.
For any one calmly to name =
definite theater as the seat for |
future television projection and
to imply that it is no longer than |
a.. fortnight away is rash. unin-
formed and scarcely sound.

Mud at Belmont Park Is different from that at
most other courses. The track has a good,
hard bottom to it. Gallant Fox apparently
found it to his liking. Before they had gone
mile the race was virtually decided. And the
fact that he downed the public favorite didn't
prevent the big bay from getting tremendous
ovation from the huge crowd as he went into
the lead and never gave it up.
In the ceremonies following his victory Gal

Mr.. Woodward had started to lead the colt into

The center of population, pivot of
human distribution in the United States,
is on its way Westward, strongly pulled
by California.
OF so much, Clarence e. Batschelet,
census geographer, is certain. But
whether this population center, left 10
years ago in a country spot 10 miles
west of Whitehall, Ind, will jog South
ward, as in seven previous censuses, or
Northward, as In six, remains to be de-
termined by more complete 1880 re-
turns.
If Texas and Florida gains can
counter-balance Detroit and its ada
cent auto centers; If Southern Califor-
Mia can outweigh developments in the
States of Washington and Idaho. the
seeming Southwark trend Of the early
returns will triumph. Contributing II

Col Harry Chandler OF Los Angeles, publisher and
editor OF the Los Angeles Times, is in the city OF
Washington as a champion OF Mexican laborers and
lator. Col. Chandler has large interests in Mexico.
He appeared before the committee on immigration.
He said: we are a thousand times better off with
Mexican labor than with F!lipinos or other foreign
classes"
He denounced the Box quota provision. He
flouted the Bacon bill to shut out I'll Mexicans and
al South Americans and TO let in all Canadians.
He warned the committee that the people Of Cali
fornia and the West, in self defense. IF Mexican
labor Is taken will send to Porto Rico or the Philip
pines for their labor"
Col Chandler IS a captain OF industry as well as
the publisher Of a very influential newspaper. He
is largely interested in stock raising and mining and
farming He made the frank admission that he en-
plcyed 300 japanese, 1000 Chinese and 5000 Mexicans.
This makes it interesting all around.
Porto Ricans are citizens Of the United States.
Economically speaking. they say they are worse off
than when they were poems to the Spanish crown,
that they exist and that is all. There's a vast army
OF unemployed Porto Ricans. II the Mexicans are
shut out, an army OF Porto Ricans may be let in in
order 10 appease the hunger Of the islanders.
Col Chandler and his associates are employers of
Japanese and Chinese labor. Would the colonel
lift the ban Of Chinese and Japanese aliens and
permit the Asiatics to swoop down upon the western
coast in fierce competition with the white wage
workers who are creators Of wealth, high standards of
living. and who are ever fighting for an increase in
the individual purchasing power Of the American
tciler?
