FOR ONCE FILM COMMENTATORS AGREE
Better Stories Is
Movies Need,
Say Critics

On one thing American movie
critics are almost unanimously
agreed. That is upon the need
for better screen stories.
Film Daily has been conducting
a critical forum, designed to de-
termine what's wrong with the
movies. About 800 critics re-
sponded to a QUESTIONABLE sent
out by the publication. and they
we're SO per cent in accord when
asked what is the weakest link
in film production.
Weakest link?
Poor stories, sez they. Backing
it up, maybe, with proof.
More than 100 critics urged
more original stories conceived
directly with a view to the re-
quirements and possibilities OF
the screen. 1t may seem aXlo-
matte that good novel doesn't
always make a good play or a
good movie, but you can't keep
those Hollywood boys from trying.
There's too much dialogue, the
critics crit. Too many illogical
situations. Too many fantastic
plots and dragged-inby-th y-the-heels
happy endings.
Some of EN- say. why not
write about normal, everyday
people, and stop trying to shock
audiences. They think the di-
rectors in general are pretty
good, that acting is better than
it has ever been before. that the
movies technically are at peak.
But oh those yarns:
A few don'tS:
LESS sex, fewer drinking
scenes, less smoking, less imita-
ton of the stage, less gaudy
society drivel, less slang"
A few dos:
identify players better, try
for better manners, greater aC-
curacy in courtroom and news
paper scenes, more originality,
more attention to details"
Critics like travelogues, news
reels, cartoons and comedies,
among short subjects, IN the or

He Fell for Maize

How he came to fall for
Maize, no one seems to know.
She surely wasn't his type. For
Maize was a very frail child
with no sense of humor at all.
But. just as strangely, she fell
for Joe Martin. She looked up
to him with the light of hero
worship in her eyes. She
thought that he was by far
the incest looking fellow in
town, and undoubtedly he would
be great success-if he ever
got the chance.
Their courtship was long and
turbulent. Joe could get a job
quicker than anyone in town,
and lose it just as quickly. He
was forever playing jokes on
the boss. His favorite was to
send a scented letter to the
boss wife claiming that the
boss was unfaithful to her,
that the sender of the letter
was his sweetheart and that the
boss was not only the father
of her baby. but had been plan
ming to run away from home
for long while.
Funny? It's a howl.
Maize was the only one who
seemed able to stand his jokes.
Sometimes even she came close
to deserting him. and once she
saved him from a terrific beat
