r OLLYwOOD.-Did you notice
- that two-day lapse in these
/ epistles? Frantic pleas came
L L from the East. Are you
lost?" Are you married."
Where are you?"
Well, we're here, believe 1t or not.
And we spent a calm yesterday
scratching away at our typewriter
and the day beforehand the day be-
fore that No-the old wings of
mother air, which have carried some
of these yarns, must have played US
foul.
When you think of that splendid
moment when the bell rings up in our
room and a Clara Bow voice tells us
that Miss Joan Crawfords car is
waiting for u.s." you know well that
we're not lost. Ever since We saw
Harlow in that white dress We may
have been little groggy, but we're
certainly not lost.
On the way to the Crawford man.
sion Jerry Ascher, local magazine
scribe, points out the Connie Bennett
house, which sits long and yellow and
full of flowers to the right of Holly
wood boulevard And as We climb up
into Brentwood Heights, once the
home of Garbo, that nicely shaped
white house is also on the left of the
road is the one where the Gables live.
Barbara Stanwyck Estate.
At the Crawford entrance we see
across the street the familiar high
white fence which surrounds Barbara
Stanwyck's estate.
Looks bigger than it did last year."
1T is bigger" says Mr.. Ascher.
Then he points to that new two or
three or four acres to the left of the
house, also surrounded by a white
fence, which Miss Stanwyck has re-

them, called Pupchen, is the one
which Joan gave Franchot.
The house is changed. In the front

sits a raft of music. These books
indicate that Franchot, not Joan. has

Rubber-Stamp Movies.
It sounded reasonable. but the work.
out has proved this Get all the pic
ture-making personnel Of the world
together in o space the size Of Holly
wood, and within given time the
product has q distressing similarity.
That stamp Is the inevitable result OF
a community of interests. The pro-
fessional crowd travels together, talks
of nothing but pictures and, slowly
but surely, personalities and tndivid-
ualities become blurred, confused.
That is why one motion picture Is so
like another. Put some Of these peo-
pie 5000 miles from the parent group
and you may get a product with an
individuality of its own. That indi-
viduality may be caused by the tempo
of the surroundings in which the pic
ture is made.
Put some of them still farther-in
London, as it happens to be-and you
may get pictures with still another
quality through the influx Of q new
trend of thought.
Reasons Submerged.
Don't think David Selznick is CIV
ing this as his reason for opening a
London Office and for his preliminary
arrangements for production of linn
tied number of British films in London
to be made by M-G-M prior to estab-
ishment of Metro studio there.
Paramount doesn't officially give
this as the reason for allowing Hecht
and Macarthur to make their first
productions on the East Coast in the
Long Island studio. To admit such a
thing is to infer that all our pictures
have distressing similarity . that
suggestion must come from outside
the profession. But this factor doubt
lessly enters in. Producers must sense
a restleSsness on the part of the pub
lie a longing for some deep con-
viction in the story that will only
arise from sincere casting and without
regard for established box-office pull.
It can be done. Fox did 1t with Cav
alcade," and the public loved the
strange facts which gave the story
such semblance of life to them.
Out Of Britain will come Alexander
Korda's Private Life of Don Juar,"
with Douglas Fairbanks. Now. our
movie producers in Hollywood tell me
(confidentially) that the public doesn't
want to know about Catherine of Rus

tales don't happen every night, for one
thing. But "The Private Life of
Henry VIII" must have had reason
ably fair financial success when Korda
and his hackers go right on making
more of the same sort.
And Long Island and London stand
q better chance to interest the world
with their pictures for the very good
reason that they will give the world

COURT DECISION
IS BLAMED FOR
MILK PRICE WAR
BaItzeII Ruling Ties Hands
of AAA Here, Official
Points Out.

The milk price situation in In
dianapolis is out of control because
a decision recently handed down by
Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell
prohibits the agricultural ADJUST
ment administration from adjusting
it. Herman Christensen, AAA Of
flcer here. said today.
In an attempt to halt the price
war, which has sent the price OF
milk down to 6 and 7 cents quart
to consumers and is threatening
dairy farmers with sharply reduced
incomes, the AAA will appeal Judge
Baltzell's decision TO the circuit
court of appeals, Mr.. christensen
said.
Judge Baltzell ruled that the
Greenwood diaries, a local firm, was
not engaged in interstate commerce
and did not have to comply with
the AAA price agreement. AT the
same time he enjoined AAA inter-
ference with the Greenwood organi-
cation. The decision resulted in the
breakdown of AAA regulation here
and forced milk price war upon
other firms, Mr.. Christensen said.
Dairy farmers already have been
affected seriously by the breakdown
of AAA control here. according to
Mr.. Christensen. This sentiment
also was voiced by Ralph w. Bales.
Indiana Manufacturers of Dairy
Products secretary.

in asking congress to grant the i'm
mediate cash payment of the bonus
since it would increase the purchaS-
ing power of millions of the con-
Stunning public Much needed relief,
he stated, would be provided to
many holders of bonus certificates
who are in dire need, although, he
added, that legionnaireS and other
ex-service men are no better or
worse off than other citizens.
The new commander yesterday
participated in the anniversary
ceremonies of the historic Eleventh
regiment at FIT. Harrison. He de-
clared that the men were magnifi-
cent in their review and added that
he had been particularly impressed
by the high caliber of the new en-
listed men in the regiment.
He was disappointed, however, by
the condition of some of the bar
racks at the post here and said he
hoped the new congress would see
fit to pass legislation which would
enable these buildings to be re-
placed.
Mr.. Belgrano presented a striking
military figure at the press confer
ence, attired in his trim horizon

Notable Business Record
Born in San Francisco not quite
forty years ago, the new commander
has lived in that city most of his
life except for the years of his war
service.
Mr.. Belgranos business career in

president of the Bank of America

new CHIEF OF
LEGION REPORTS
HERE FOR DUTY
Business Administration Is
Pledged by BeIgrano:
Reviews Troops.

Frank N. Belgrano Jr., newly
elected American Legion national
commander, today began here a
year Of what he promised would be
a 'two-f1sted business administra-
ton" for the legion.
Mr.. Belgrano, who rose from the
ranks to a lieutenancy during the
World war, reiterated that promise
of "two-fiSted business administra-
tion," first made at the recent
Miami convention. at his first press
conference yesterday afternoon, and
added the promise that most of his
year in the legion's highest Office
would be spent in Indianapolis.
He explained, however, that it
would be necessary for him to do a
great deal of travelling in order to
keep in constant touch with legion
activities in other cities throughout
the country.
He will go to New York Friday to
attend the annual Victory ball at
the Waldorf Astoria Saturday night,
before going to Washington to take
part in the Armistice day cere-
monies at Arlington cemetery Sum-
day.
He will speak at Richmond, Va;
Clarksburg, w. w., and Milwaukee,
Wis, before returning for the meet
ing of legion commanders and adj
jutants which will be held here
Nov. 10.
Motors From Miami
Legion officials will offer sugges-
tons concerning the organizations
policies at this meeting and these
questions will be acted on at the
national executive committee meet
ing which will begin here Nov. "a
and IS.
Mr.. Belgrano arrived in Indian
apolis Saturday with his wife after
a motor trip from Miami, on which
he visited legion posts and veterans
hospitals in cities along the way.
He expressed himself as being high
ly pleased with his reception at
these places and declared he had
never seen legionnaires so actively
interested in their organizations
welfare.
The new commander said he was
confident that 1885 would be a most
successful year for the legion, both
in gaining new members and in car
rying out its program of "educa-
ton in Americanism," decided on at
the Miami convention.
The last year, Mr.. Belgrano said,
had been one of the most critical
in legion history because it had
been necessary ''to teach the Amer
lean people the meaning of Amer
icaniSm."
Sees Too Many 'Tsms"
"Our country is filled today with
too much talk about ismS'," he de-
clared. There is room here for
only one ism and that is Ameri-
canism. The American Legion is
the sworn enemy of every other
ism This is a declaration of war.
Our educational program should
enlist the support of every good
American" he continued.
I'VE expect the citizens of the
country to believe in what we be-
lieve in. It is the duty of every
citizen to exercise his right of
franchise if he wishes the United
States to continue under it's present
democratic form of government. In
carrying out our educational cam
paign for Americanism, we feel that
we can render our country as great
g. peacetime service as the war
service we performed in 1917 and
1918"
Mr.. Belgrano was very emphatic,
however, in asserting that the le-
gion would not take part in ma
tional politics as an organization.
I'VE can not fulfill our duty to
