WILL OMIT CYCLE
Producers Decide Copying
Big Hits Is Bad for
Industry.
ny the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD. Calf, November 80.
1.-THE movie cycle is out.
Judging from the concensus OF execu-
tives at the major studios, there will be
little plot or fol mular copying IN the
coming years production programs.
The reason is that the producers.
looking back over the red ink ledgers of
tie last two years, have decided that
film cycles are had for the industry
and that too msny pictures are being
made. Usually the pictures that fol-
low the original smash are much less
successful.
Although each year the several ex-
ecutives have announced they intended
to maintain variety in their output. 1t
invariably followed that their plans
drifted into cycles before they had pro-
ceeded very far.
Definite New Trends.
Each found the temptation to model
after the others highly successful pic
ture too great to be overcome. The first
successful war talkie brought an ava
lanche of others. So also was the first
gangster stcry copied and recopied until
audiences rebelled.
There will be definite new trends in
the screen fare that is planned How
ever, fantasies, human interest stories,
musicals anu JIdNclOBuCS Will Ale1FS a
prominent place iii the schedule OF each
studio.
When people are depressed, finan-
cially harassed and worried, they dis
like stark realism in their entertain
ment, the psychologists tell Hollywood.
II Is at such times, and when in such
q state of mind. that they turn to
stories of dream life, fantasy. gay
adventure and happy romance for re-
taxation.
Examples Are Given.
Screen fantasy, as described by the
producers, is a picture like Douglas
Fairbanks silent film, THE Thief Of
Bagdad,' or the more recent "Just
Imagine" bad Girl" 1.-THE Champ" "
and Daddy Long Legs" are good ex-
amples of human interest stories.
To 1.-THE Smiling Lieutenant" may go
credit for plans to make musical pic
lures. This demonstrated that songs
can be reasonably and logically intro
duced.
