r OLLYWOOD is a compli-
r. Gated place. Malibu Beach
citizens are no longer mere
graduates of the now an
cient Mack Sennett Academy of
Cinema Art. Kings and princes
stop off to pay it their respects,
and grand old grandees of over
seas countries are only too glad
to get their fingers in the pie.
OF all types and of the many
celebrities who have Wintered and
Summered there, the writing man
alone seems to have suffered. AS
revealed in "Once in a Lifetime, 4"
as also by quantities of East Coast
scribblerS who have fought their
way out and Immediately fought
their way back, Hollywood is a
cold place for the typewriter art.
Stories are stories only if they
are available for la Dietrich or for
the services of some of the less
blistering stars, and the fact that
a novel is a good novel is appre-
ciated only If its surface value is
rife with cinema possibilities.
So the writer has come to be
the forgotten man, except in such
cases as Red Dust" where, for in
stance, the bright little SquibS
which Writer John Mahin has in
fused into it raise it above the
level of mediocrity. The authors
who are happy out there are said
to be far and few between.
GIrlIaFllxy ont
is made that one of this country's
most expansive writing men,
Theodore Dresser, not only has be-
come vitally interested in cinema
goings-on, but he will burst out
there himself and take an active
part in them.
Author Dresser, according to
Variety" after making arrange
mentS with the Paramount people
for the disposal of Jennie Ger
hart" as a vehicle" for small,
shrinking, wide-eyed Sylvia Sid
ney, has made it known that he
will go West in person, take up
the cinema cudgel and WELD it
very much himself.
In other words, Mr. Dresser is
to become a film producer
This amazing news, from one
who in the past has been allied
with such cinema cynics as
George Jean Nathan and other
first-claSs literatti, is a coup which
may well surprise both Hollywood
and the East Coast. Ever since
Mr.. Dreiser's American Tragedy"
was the cause for much excite
ment in and around the courts
and the studios, it was thought
that probably Mr.. Dresser was the
one man who would eScheW the
lure of the Pacific.
Word comes, however, to the eff
feet that Ito demonstrate how he
thinks pictures should be made" p"
Theodore Dresser will turn pro-
ducer next February and film in
dependently a story on which he
is now working.
Instead, however, of doing his
work in one of the Hollywood
studios, after contemplating Ger
tain mechanical studio gadgets, he
will embark for Texas or Arizona,
where his story is to be filmed.
Instead, too, of signing up an ex-
penSive West Coast cast, he will
employ only "paSserS-by."
This is a novel idea. Referring

to throng the room Of the Senate
District Committee late today
when the committee will open
hearings on the radical bill of
Senator Robert B. Howell (R)
Nebraska, to make the Capital
bone dry" by legislation supple
mental to the national prohibi-
ton law.
Despite a written opinion by
the Attorney General that the
search and seizure clause OF the
Howell measure is too drastic,
and likely to bring about a re-
vulsion among home owners here,
its extremely dry author seem
ingly is determined to press it.
One of the highly controversial
sections of the bill Is that to
clothe all Washington police.Aen
with the raiding authority of
Federal prohibition agents. Only
a small squad of officers now
exercises such functions.

Committee today to oppose
legalization of beer, conceded
that 4 per cent beer is not
Intoxicating and distribution
of beer direct from producer
to consumer would not bring
back the saloon.
The witness, Whiting Williams,
industrial expert of Shelby. Ohio,
made the admissions under ques-
tioning by Senator Bingham CRO
of Connecticut, sponsor of the
bill to legalize 4 per cent beer.
Sees Worker Harmed
Legalization of beer would,
however, increase the difficulties
of prohibition enforcement and
divert the money which the
working man now spends on
radios and automobiles, Williams
said, and added:
'Tt would make prohibition
enforcement in such cities as
New York particularly difficult"
He asserted intoxication among
working men had greatly de-
creased since prohibition.
Economic Claims Disputed
Assertions of the vets that the
return of beer would greatly re-
lieve unemployment were disputed
by Prof. Ernest Smith Bradford,
director of business research, New
York City College.
He declared the return of the
brewing industry would merely
take business from the soft drink
and allied industries, which have
replaced it.
DR.. Bradford estimated the
number of workers employed in
brewing industries at the peak of
that industry in 1914 was less

threatened to resign should the
government decide to send more
troops to China.
The home minister said further
dispatch of soldiers to the Shang-

expense. Others in the cabinet,
leaders of the dominant military
faction, favored sending addi-
tional forces in view of unex-
pected Chinese strength.
The war office officially an
nounced that some of the Japan
ese troops which recently marched
into Harbin will be withdrawn
soon,
