The weaknesses of Enchanted

the fact that the novel made
beautiful reading, but poor
screen material.
Despite the oft quoted Con.

worth a thousand words; there
are thousands of words which
millions of pictures cannot
make interesting.

performances with no story to

It remained for the last week
of 1884 to bring the preview fan
his greatest thrill Of the year.
Lives Of the Bengal Lancers"
is one of those rare motion pic
lures seen but once in a few
seasons and talked about for
several thereafter.
Incidentally, one might note
that Lives Of the Bengal Ian
GERS" Is one Of the few produc-
tions to emerge successfully
from what threatened to be
several hopeless beginnings.
Four years ago Paramount be-
gan to make it's plans. Story
after story was written. Two
years later Ernest Schoedsack
went to India to photograph
and direct atmospheric back
grounds. "Ben-Hur" was one
Hollywood classic which went
through even more difficulties.
Bengal Lancers"
Entitled to Epic Rating
Now completed, Lives of the
Bengal Lancers" will take it's
place among those epics to
which Hollywood points with
pride. The entire British En-
pire will gloat and rejoice over
it as it did over "Cavalcade,"
for a greater tribute to Britain
and the British rarely has been
seen.
A story by Francis Yeats
Brown eventually was chosen
as the basis for the screen
play; although Richard Bole-
sawski's book by that title orig.
inally caused the desire to
make it. Here is a motion pic
ture without a love story as
movies go. Beau Geste" will
be remembered as the nearest
thing to this. A trio of men
are the central figures. No,
four! To list Gary Cooper,
Franchot Tone and Richard
Cromwell together would be
rank injustice to a truly splen-
did performance by Sir Guy
Standing. In fact. C. Aubrey
Smith easily can make the
number five. Yes, five central
figures.
This is the gripping descrip-
ton of how England, with q
handful of men," controls the
lives of India's three hundred
millions. A soldiers story; a
tale for all men and picture
for all women. I can't think
of any production in years
wherein Gary cooper has
scored as big a hit as he will
in this. It is his greatest screen
character to date. Franchot
Tone is another toward whom
many adjectives will flow. Rich
ard Cromwell, Colin Tapley,
Douglas Dumbrille, Monte Blue
and Kathleen Burke, among
many others, make it a fine
cast. Henry Hathaway, hitherto
confined to Westerns, joins the
ranks of Class A directors with
this.

PLANS FOR EXODUS
OF MOVIES SHAPED
Scheme to Abandon All
Property in California
Barred in Tax Fight.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, March g.
An ace, hidden in the sleeve of Hol-
lywood's movie chieftains, dropped
out today.
It brought added weight to their
threat to take the film industry out
Of California rather than submit to
Increased taxation, proposed in bills
pending before the State Legislature.
A definite plan by which the colos-
sal task might be accomplished was
disclosed today. 1t embraced two
major premises:
!. Removal of the huge stores Of
equipment during a two-year period,
without appreciably interrupting the
production schedules of any major
studio.
Z. Sacrifice Of real estate proper
ties, on which the studios are Sit
uated, or allowing them to revert to
the State for taxes.
Plans Laid Years Ago.
Robert Fairbanks, general mana
ger Of United Artists Studio, said
such q plan has been in process of
formulation for several years.
Originally" he explained, "pro-
ducers were working on a project to
centralize all studios in Hollywood to
increase efficiency and to cut produc-
ton costs by housing all the major
companies under one gigantic CO.
operative program.
"This, naturally, would have
brought with it all the problems of
actually moving the whole industry
out of the State"
The first threat to take the movies
out Of California came from Joseph
M. Schenck, president of United Ar
fists, who proposed a wholesale move
to Florida. He said State executives
had offered the industry free land
and freedom from taxation for II
years.
Lloyd Raps Politics.
Commenting on the tax proposals
Harold Lloyd, who produces one film
q year, said he could not see where
the industry should be singled out
as a political foot ball, and an easy
money source"
Naturally, I'd prefer to stay here
TO make pictures" Lloyd said. but
I could well afford. and would prefer
to work elsewhere and live elsewhere
If these taxes are levied"
Upton Sinclair, creator of the E. p
I. c. END Poverty in California; plar
and defeated candidate for Cover
nor, added this comment:
"Of course, E. P. I. c. and favor
general taxation on wealth. but
whether measures involving the mo.
tion picture industry are included ir
the pending legislation, do not know

Silver Advances
Further to New
Peak Since 1928
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 6.-Foreign bar
silver for commercial use continued
its climb in today's market with q rise
of Il cent to price of 62A cents an
ounce, another new high since 1928.
At that level, the white metal was
up a full cent from a week ago. Its
record low, reached in 1882, was 24A
cents.
Brokers said the steady rise re-
flected the withdrawal of metal from
the markets of the world by United
States Treasury buying program. The
American market has been hinging
chiefly on London and has been
helped by the rise in sterling ex-
change this week.
At today's level, the foreign bar
silver price in New York, which Is in
effect the dollar equivalent of the
world price, was only 2A cents from
the level at which the Treasury has
been taking all domestically mined
silver since December, 1888.
When the rise in the world price
exceeds the 641a a-cent level, the do
mestic mines will begin to benefit.
