that he will join forces with Anna
Sten. who is very popular in London,
and Dr. Eugene Frenke, her husband,
to produce a picture.
Charles Laughton says that his best
American-made picture would be one
in which he would choose the story
and director. Since Laughton invested
money in Henry VIII" he isn't averse
to doing the same thing again If the
right set-up is found.
Richard Barthelmess has been con-
Quoting quite a canvass among his
friends-including Ronald Colman-
with the idea of a group of stars
getting together. investing some of the
money they have made in pictures
and doing things in the way they
know-or feel they know-things
should be done.
Tsy Garnett is one Of the directors
who are going into production for
themselves. He is renouncing a ma ior
studio contract in order to go it on
his own. He realizes the perils; he
also realizes the profits, should he
click.
Under the present system director
passes his failures along to the COM
pany that hires him and goes mer-
rily on. Garnett says. L think the
time has come when a director should
take the responsibility for failure on
his own shoulders and bear the part
Of the loss incurred by an indifferent
picture. AS producer, am going to
stand on my own feet. If I lose I'll go
back to work for someone else until
I get enough capital to start on my
own again."
Now. some Of this rush on the
part of actors, directors. authors and
the rest to make pictures is due to
a condition that is little known out

pictures literally night and day, is

demand each year. There are not
sufficient stories worthy of the name
available to producers.
Producers know that they are turn
ing down fresh material every day
when they return without reading
them unlimited scenario manuscripts
that flood their Offices. But produc-
ers are not to blame for this con-
dition.
They have been the butt Of so
! many plagiarism suits (many of them
without foundation) that they no
| longer consider 1t safe to open and
read a manuscript which is submitted
to them. If they ever-within several
years time-produce anything family
resembling a situation limited at in
4 scenario which has been thrust upon
them. 1t costs them thousands of
dollars to make their position legally
clear.
So producers never open manu-
scripts mailed into the studios. They
are returned unread. although Holly
wood needs stories If, by any
chance. a manuscript Is opened by
mistake-and many are mailed in
such way that they will not be rec
ognized as submitted manuscripts
the copy is Immediately photostatted
and placed with the legal depart
ment.
This Is an angle on story buying
that is interesting, and terrifying,
and it's a lesson to those ambitious
to write for pictures. Write your
material in story form. sell it to a
magazine, and come in the literary
door . not the studio door.
