1934-35 will be stepped up to in
clude approximately 40 features,
the greatest number for the last
three years, it has been an
nounced by Carl Laemmle, jr., in
charge of production for the film
company.
Twenty-six feature productions
were produced two years ago and

Young Laemmle pointed out
that the 40 productions did not
include serials, but did include
six adventure pictures to be made
by Buck Jones and represented
an additional $1,0OO,0O0 on the
Universal production budget.
The announcement came at the
end Of a four-day program at the
Biltmore Hotel, Santa Barbara, in
which production and sales chiefs
figured. Young Laemmle pre-

proceedings were James R. Grain

Immediately on finishing her

Korda to Produce

It requires only curSory knowl-
edge Of the book to realize the di-
menSionS of the project Alexander
Korda has set himself and to
realize why the decision has al
ready been made that no money
shall be spared in the production.
The story of this astounding
enterprise goes back many months
and forward many more.
Mr.. Wells has frankly admitted
that he has never been completely
satisfied with the film treatment
of any of his works. He is not
one of those authors who sell film
rights to the highest bidder and
forget all about it. He is keenly
interested in the cinema. He has
ideas of his own about it's posi-
bilitieS.
Even the sale and purchase Of
1.-THE Shape of Things to Come"
was q remarkable transaction.
The first item in the catalogue
Of problems created by the film
was the script.
Who could evolve a cinematic
treatment from the book? Mr.
Wells solved the question by do
ing it himself.
So clear were his mental pic:

future he had envisaged in words

that he could set them down in
the form of instructions for those
whose task it will be to translate
them to the screen.
All who have seen the script
speak of it with awe. One who
has read it tells me that it is
the first real film script he has
ever seen produced by a man of
letters. It is never literary, but
always cinematic and practical.
Running through the story is
q love interest which typifies Mr..
Wells appreciation of the me-
dium into which he has come.
In threading this personal story
through the general one he has
achieved a kind of Closeup"
temporarily reducing the focus
of his vision from the cosmic to
the individual, and thus making
it more vivid.
Cast Unchosen
No players have yet been
chosen, because the impersonal
aspects of the production present
problems beside which casting be-
comes insignificant.
One of the most important
people concerned in the produc-
ton is, however, already on the
job. He is a 40-year-old Ameri-
can, Ned Mann.
The summoning of Mann from
holiday on a years contract was
the idea of Alexander Korda's
new associate, Douglas Fairbanks.
From his experiences when max
ing 'The Thief of Bagdad" Fair
banks knew Mann as the best
technical stunt-man in Hollywood.
His task. briefly, will be to
construct the world of the fu-
ture!
Every known process Of cinema
trickeryN will be employed at one
time or another. And several
new processes will have to be
invented to meet the WellSian re-
Quirements.
After years of stunt-directing,
Mann had begun to think that
the limit of human ingenuity
had been reached. Mr.. Wells has
made him wonder if his whole
art is really in it's infancy.
Though the story of the film
starts in the present. it is the
future that is the cause of all
the difficulty.
Every aspect has it's problems

Then the tide begins to turn. A

ton into visual, audible, tangible
reality.
Each line Of thought has been
logically developed from present.
day tendencies. Wells conclu-
sions are not so much flights of
fancy as a thoughtful marching
forward, step by step.
.War in 1910
Many of his conclusions are
startling. He foresees a nine-year
war starting in 1910. That comes
after a terrible crime wave, with
piracy life on the high seas and
women unable to walk alone
after dark.
The war Of 1910 will be one Of
the films biggest problems. Mr..
Wells predicts that by that date
gas warfare will have become
practically obsolete. War will be
waged mainly in the air. There
will be horrible methods Of
spreading disease as q means of
killing the enemy.
He tells Of one terrible gas
which remains In use-a "steril-
izatiOh inhalation" which pre-
vents births among humans or
animals who inhale it.
During this war Of the fOrties
EurOpe's decline begins. Strin-
gent economy, caused by the ex-
penSeS of war, undermineS hOMS-
ing conditions and neglected
sanitation leads to cholera. There
is = dreadful epidemic, worse
than the Black Death.
Troops, tired of war, mutiny.
This chaos builds up to q climax
of horror in an outbreak of macu-
lated fever which halves the pOpu-
latiOn Of the world.
In his book Mr.. Wells surveys
these things with a panoramic eye,
but his film will trace many of
them in their effects upon the in
dividual lives Of the people in the
story.
Even after this point Mr.. KOrda
and his colleagues will still have
two complete eraS to precOnStruct.
There Is the age of diSintegra-
tiOn, and the age Of rebuilding TO-
ward . Saner and better world
than we know today.
BY 1858 Mr.. Wells sees Hyde
Park as an aerOdrOme and every
big building fitted with anti-air-
craft apparatus.
