Hollywood feels IL the safest track This
year.
And Fred Newmeyer is steering the
destiny of The Best People" with
Miriam Hopkins. Charles staffett, Carol
Lombard and Frank Morgan.
Ernst Lubitsch doesn't know what he
will do on the East Coast in his first
directing venture. He has made some
departures which are revolutionary in
his recent pictures, and with the choice
OF new material available at the At
lantic side of America he should do
still more interesting things in the
future
Five short subjects are being filmed
at this same studio each week.
AT warmers Eastern branch short
subjects are being turned out continu-
ously. They have included. varieties
presenting Giovanni Maftinelli, Marion
Talley, Reinald Werrenfath, John
Charles Thomas and Nine. Sehunaiiii-
Heink. Weber and Fields and Eddie
Lambert are among the comedians who
have made shorts at this studio on the
East Coast.
All of this does away with the theory
that talking pictures are for motion
picture people alone. That ancient
propaganda, still advanced from time
has made serious and successful inva-
sion of gelatin entertainment, and its
adventures in this field in the future
promise even greater success.
In mild retaliation stage producers
are seeking out movie favorites for local
and Eastern productions. The total re-
suit OF all these things will be an ANAL
gamation of the stage and screen, thu
productions originating on each coast;
pictures made East and West, according
to the material available and the condi.
tons controlling things.
The Hollywood colony will not lose
its entity-its new entity. It has long
since lost its old one. The aelatin VIII
lage has changed radically since the
advent of talking pictures. The old
ways wouldn't 60 with new conditions.
This interplay Of two arts Is the only
feasible result Of difficult situati6n.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY NOBLE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD. Calf, September "A
(N.A.N.A.) Hollywood producers who
once said that this gelatin village alone
could successfully turn out motion pic
lures are eating their own words by
reason of the number of pictures made
on the East Coast at the Long Island
STUDIOS OF various concerns.
AS this number is increasing daily,
Tor many good reasons Eastern produc-
ton takes on an importance in cine
matics not to be moderated.
When Ernst Lubitsch, ace director of
one OF Hollywood'S largest studios, was
sent to the East Coast to be production
chief there and direct also, the colony,
which once hailed this as the worlds
only center Of production, grudgingly
admitted that talking pictures made on
the East Coast with successful results
had not been happy accidents
And with the departure of Dorothy
Arzner for New York-she is the only
woman director In the field-the feeling
has become strengthened.
Paramount studio alone has six large
pictures in production now on Long
Island. This Is large number of pro-
auctions to be under way on any Holly
wood lot.
Ina Claire was sent to the East Coast
to make THE Royal Family" In this
N6IS1OI1 ETeQeT1Ck MdICI1, MARY 6T1dn
and Henrietta CroSSman are appearing.
It is Ina Claire's second venture in
talkies. The first, 1.-THE Awful Truth"
didn't do as much for the lovely Claire
as 1t should have done.
Dorothy Arzner has been sent East to
direct Claudette Colbert In q picture
which will begin as soon as that lovely
lady returns from q four months sea
jaunt which she has been enjoying and
which included trip to the Island Of
Bali.
Nancy Carroll made Laughter in
Long Island, and is being kept there to

declared women spent s7OO. 100000 Of a family pay

not take time to teach their women sound finance
He did not venture to suggest how much the women
earned, but he did say they spent IS per cent of the

1928 and bought themselves unsound investments

Millions to Texas Highway
Construction

Texas leads all other states in area and mileage
Of designated highways and ranks fifth in popula-
ton. For this very good reason the state will receive
federal highway aid Of approximately 100000 ad-
ditional available for the year from June 1880 to
June 1891, and make the annual appropriation by the
federal congress for the years 1882 and 1888, SIPS,
p00,s 00.
Texas received approximately six per cent Of the
total appropriation.
It goes without saying that the Texas highway de-
partment will be very busy for three years to come,
and. lest w forget. the practical politicians who are
scheming for an elective commission Of three or five
should not be overlooked by the voters Of Texas who
believe In honesty In government and a dollars worth
Of material or labor for every dollar paid out Of the
highway department treasury.
Care should be taken by the voters in the selection
OF candidates for senators and representatives at the
July primaries. Give the seekers for legislative place
the acid test. There's a way to do it.
