n Mayer studios reached its high
II est peak in the past three and
4 \ q half years with 18 pictures
currently in various stages Of
production and IL others being made
ready for work. This represents more
than has been usual at these studios
since January, 1880.
Among the photoplays now nearing
completion on the Culver City lot are
two with multi-star casts-casts which
compare with Grand Hotel" in plenti-
tude of stellar names. These are Din

Wallace Beery, John and Lionel Barry

headed by Clark Gable, Helen Hayes,
Robert Montgomery and the same two
Barrymore brothers. At the present
time most Of the players in both Of these
productions have been set free to work
In other stories, and practically all of
them have gone on with new roles
without even temporary breathing

Zasu Pitts Wins Contract.

7ASU PITTS has signed q long, term
contract with Carl Laemmle, jr.,
for Universal Pictures. Miss Pitts will
be co-starred with Slim Summerville
in feature productions, three and pos
sibly four Of these pictures being con-
templated for the 1933-34 Universal
program.
Miss Pitts signing with Universal
means that she will concentrate on
feature films in the future and that
her screen appearances will not be so
frequent as in recent years. The sad
faced comedienne appeared in SO pic
lures in 1892 and has been featured in
16 thus far In 1893.
Last week Summerville and Pitts

was so explosive, so emotionally
devastating that anything that
followed afterward seemed hollow
and insincere. So it was yanked
from its middle-ground and put
where you may see it today.
This, of course, brings up the
point as to what the end of pic
ture should be. Gold Diggers"
indicates to us what the end of a
film shouldn't be. Granted that
it is effective-that you sit in a
state of near frenzy watching it
and that a definite climax is
reached. Nevertheless it is not
the climax for that picture, nor
for any picture which is based on
frolic and nonsence.
Why you should be torn to rib
bons after having had such a
good time puzzles us a little.
Frankly, we didn't want to be.
But we should like to hear what
the rest of the world thinks. If
comedies are to end on such a
bitter note, then where will
tragedies end?

IN last weeks brief compendium
of reflections on movie goings-
on it was limited that we had hit
on dislikes rather than likes. We
offer, therefore, a few added words
on things that we have enjoyed
during the past few months:
Mae West doing anything and
everything;
Gene Raymond in ZOO in
Budapest;
Bebe Daniels getting slightly
under the weather in Cocktail
Hour;
Ernest Torrence's last work be-
fore the camera in Il Cover the
Waterfront;
Frances Dee putting everything
she has into some of those vio-
lently emotional Silver Chord
scenes;
Ann Harding being sincere,
feminine and likable in that mo-
ment when she confronts Myrna
10y in When Ladies Meet;
w. c. Fields getting a real break
in international House;
Polly Moran over the radio;
Henry Carat well teamed with
Janet Gaynor in Adorable;
Aline MacMahon dancing with
Guy Kibbe and telling him that
he's "as light as heifer" in Gold
DiggerS";;
George Brent and Kay Francis
in THE Keyhole";;
The volatile Peggy Hopkins
Joyce proving that she is not the
forgotten woman in "Interna-
tional House;
Dick Powells stage act at the
Earle;
Ruby Keller suddenly no longer
merely Mrs. AL JolSon";
And the splendid imagination
that inspired Mr.. Cooper's king
