HOLLYWOOD, Calf, November 5.
"HE infancy Of the motion picture
industry gave way, some four
years ago, to the infancy Of
i talking pictures, but the men
who made pictures were said
to have passed through the infantile
stages of that game and should be on
the adolescent road to industrial ma
turity. Then along come some weird
production stories-stories which make
us wonder If the motion picture In
6ustrv. as an industry, will ever be out
of pinafores and out of that garment
which Ed Wynne calls THE Eternal
Triangle"
There's the "Rockabye" story, for
instance "Rockabye" is a tale with
which Gloria Swanson fell in love when
she was working for that astute pro-
ducer. Sam Goldwyn. Gloria, who had
Just made comeback picture, The
ITrespasser," with great success, had fol-
lowed it with a noisy melange wherein
she played the part of very gay widow
who fiirted and champagned her way
through some seven reels with indlf-
ferent success. You came out OF the
theater with headache and an ad-
miration for Lew Cody'S technique ana
a miserable consciousness that Gloria
Swanson wasn't SO hot as that type OF
farce comedienne. At that Juncture
Joseph Schenck, who heretofore mac
quite a say in the policies OF United
Artists Studio, kept his say more to
the real estate end of things and the
ater management and let the above
mentioned Sam GoldWyn take respon-
kibility for the stories.
Came "Rockabye"-came Ursula Par
rott. who was to write treatments OF
story-"Love Rides Past"-came trouble
came the departure Of Parrott-and,
finally, came the departure OF Gloria
before that well-known grin came back
to the Sam GoldWyn countenance.
Gloria hit the headlines with her mar
riage, neatly accomplished; hit the
headlines with her new baby, Patricia
Farmer, hit the headlines with the an
nouncement that she and her new nus
band would make picture on the
French Riviera.
But no local headlines were hit with
the studio property "Rockabye, until
we woke one morning TO find that Con-
stance Bennett, who had annexed the
Swanson ex-husband, had also annexed
the Swanson eX-picture story and was
about to be starred in 1t. 1t seemed
the last chess move in a game neatly
played by two famous ladies with the
world as their chessboard and some
very interesting objects as their pawns
This article is really to prove that
motion pictures are still in their in
fancy. Well, perhaps one proof OF that
is the fact David Selznick bought
"Rockabye" for Constance Bennett, and
George FitZmaurice, her very flrst dl-
rector or something of the sort with
souvenir flavor to it, was put in as dl-
rector. All went badly up to the point
where Fitzmaurice walked out on
nine-tenths completed picture because
he couldn't have certain sequences as
he wished them to be- And George
Cukor was put in to finish the story.

Recent Studio Affairs Show That the Screen

salary, the other high-prOduction costs
and the fact that the so-called retakes
became o virtual remake of the entire
picture, "Rockabye" ends at close to a
million dollars, spent for very wishy-
washy film.
Constance Bennett, anything but a
knockout with millions of young things
who think she Is just about perfect,
shouts hoarsely In dramatic moments
and Is small-theater calm at other
times. It's a silly story of mother-love.
Coincident with all this comes the
great Barrymore opus with Ethel, John
and Lionel OF the royal family all
signed to appear in the spectacle,
"Rasputin." The studio, with a galaxy
Of starry names, cast list whose length
might well give even the most pros
porous producer headache and tech
nical problems galore to be met, put
Charles Brabin to direct. In the par
lance of Hollywood, Brabin Is one OF
the directors who often work for weeks
without getting anything in the can!
Which means no finished footage TO
show for the great expense.
The Barrymore picture was q facer,
since stars Of the stage are far often
more difficult about credits, and en-
frances, and the spot, than are movie
stars
After several weeks Of work, Brabin,
with nothing practically at all to show
for it, was removed from the picture
and Richard Boleslavsky was put in his
place. "Rasputin," dubbed ''Disputin"
by the Hollywood gang. went on apace
with fight q day to its credit, Jam
an hour to heckle the director and
much Of the talent he should bring
to the directorial end Of the work
being wasted in his efforts as diplo-
mat More than that, the most ex-
pensive picture made on the lot was
virtually being shot from the cuff"
as we say in Hollywood, since so many
of the arranged scenes didn't suit the
Barrymores.
In some 10 days, fate and the re-
naming Barrymores being willing,
"Rasputin" will be in the can and ready
for preWew. 1t has cost far more
than it should and there are whispers
that Ralph Morgan will steal tie honors
despite the Barrymores, who feared
such an eventuality all along, 1t seems.
Meanwhile, with these two fine ex-
amples at its door-object lessons if
ever there were lessons another COM
pany sets to work on a picture with
two high-magnitude stars, company
of excellent players all of whom COM
mand high salaries, and exactly one
sequence. the first one, on paper. The
rest will be feverishly written Of nights,
perhaps, and he thrust into the players
hands as they go along.
Oh, forgot to say that the company
secured a director who gets one Of the
highest salaries Of any man in the
business and paid through the nose
for him, since his own lot had to sub
stitute some one else for a pretty big
picture for which he was scheduled
This being the case, I'll get my kiddie
car and 60 out to see what else goes
on in this infant industry.

SAYS BORAH

NAMPA, Idaho, Oct. 26 UN.SO
Supporters of President Hoover
today claimed that Senator Will

Senator Borah did not mention
Franklin D. Roosevelt Democratic

speeches yet made in this cam
paign for MIR. Hoover was made
Monday night in Newark by

New York, Mr.. Smith. Many
sincere men and women have
been in doubt in this campaign
owing to the attitude of both
parties on the liquor question.
But Ex-Governor Smith removed
that doubt with vast number

CALLED DRYS BIGOTS
"He denounced as bigOts,
cranks, hypOcrites and in

not in favor of tearing down
all barriers against the return
of the liquor traffic.
"He says to them in so
many words, there is no place
for you in the Democratic
party The millions of sincere

who would control the liquor
traffic, who fear the return of

these people he denounced in
