HOLLYWOOD, Calf, April IL
HAVING mulled over the matter,
A this department has decided to
paragraph an economic, a lin
guistic film treatise Of a decided
gray. not to say cynical. tint.
I speak Of foreign versions of
motion picture talkies.
Since it is logical to assume
that France and it's colonies,
Spain and its colonies. italy and
its dittoeS, and so on have gons
celluloid talky and demand such
talkies be native-tongued and not
foreign (EngliSh). I contend,
since this hypothesis is funda-
mentally true how will such a
condition effect the world box
office draw Of current players?
Gloria Swanson is a draw in
any country. Likewise. Mary
Pickford, Doug Fairbanks. Gary
Cooper, Lon CLANCY, William
Haines, Richard Dix, ct cetera.
But what about these stars and
the coming stars a year or two
hence? When separate groups
of players are engage I'd for the
English, French, Spanish, Italian
version of each picture made?
Stars will become. indigenous to
their country. Except in the
rare cases where they speak other
languages fluently. And by the
narrowing down of their drawing
power, what about salaries? 1t is
also logical to assume salaries
will slide from four figures a
week.
Verify, there is a fruitful,
gloomy outlook.

CL ARKE W AS
ANGEL FOR
LEIBEP
By ANDREW r. KELLEY

"A CLOSER alliance between the
"A stage and the movies Is
visioned as Harley L. Clarke. Chi
cagO utilities magnate, becomes
the financial guardian OF the
William Fox enterprises.
It was Millionaire Clarke who
conceived the Idea of selling
Shakespeare to the masses and
Fritz Leiber became the bene-
ficiary Of his benevolenceS to
the stage. Actually he put ST.
600, 900 cash in the bank for the
Chicago Civic Theater and built
o fine playhouse to house the at
fractions. Leiber was outfitted
professionally as he never had
been before and 100000 was
spent on scenery and costumes.
, Now the marvel Of all this
proved 70 be that the Harley idea
worked out profitably. Chicago
took II weeks Of Shakespeare and
provided paying audiences. All
the cities on the brief road tour
turned in profits and even blase
New York gave Leiber three
weeks Of swell business. 1t led
the Shuberts 10 give Leiber a full
season of bookings for 1930-31.
Having dipped in successfully
Broadway expects Producer Har-
ley to give some more attention
to the possibilities Of footlight
drama. It would dovetail per-
fectly with the plan Of keeping
the Fox studios busy for like all
other great movi, companies, the
Fox organization is eager to grab
successful plays for the camera
and microphoneS.

In doping . baseball race
there are always two things
to consider. One is pitching
or defensive strength, and the
other is hitting or offensive
strength. In the American
League I figure there are four
clubs that will have particu-

These are the Athletics, the
