same time Roosevelt is making
every effort to slash the living
standard of those workers still en-
ployed by insisting that the wage:
on public works be not more thar

Trade at Home
Policy Adopted
Paramount Gets Props for
'CrusadeS' in America.

The time has passed when home
offices of major film companies in
New York have to worry about the
state of foreign commerce and high
express rates.
Production of such p tremendous
feature as THE Crusades" has con-
WINGED Paramount, at least, that
five sixths of the properties and
equipment needs of a producer may
be obtained by the film industry
right within the limits of its own
studio colony, Hollywood.
Goods from England, Japan and
Germany were considered necessary
when Paramount first scheduled this
picture. BY the time Cecil B. De-
Mills was ready to start camera
work Frank Richardson, head of
the Paramount wardrobe depart
ment, found the company could dis
pense almost entirely with import
ed wares.
I'VE found" Richardson report
ed, that American mills and fac
tories could supply just about ev-
erything we wanted and give us as
good a product as we could get
elsewhere, and at reasonable cost.
The advantage the Hollywood
manufacturers representatives had,
too, was that most of them are IA
miliar with the eXacting require
ments of the studios and have done
work for them before.
"One local manufacturer went to
the trouble of obtaining a special
loom from abroad-the only one of
it's kind that has ever been in this
country-to knit $500 pounds of cord
into garments for the Crusaders"
Richardson also pointed out how
medieval weapons used during the
Crusades era were faithfully repro
duced in this country without Para
mount so much as having to send
abroad for patterns.

cities in 33 states before terminating
its travels in Richmond, Va, late in
March, 1886.
This rather closely approximates
the record established by THE
Green Pastures last year when the
Negro classic visited SO cities in 80
states.
The Old Maid" again like the
Marc Connolly play, will be pre-
Sented at more than 20 leading uni
versitieS throughout the country as
well as play brief engagements in

In THE Old Maid" Miss Atkins,
the author, tells a poignant and
moving story of the struggle of two
women for the possession of child
born out of a fine passion, but not
within the bounds of wedlock.
A compelling drama, replete with
pathOs, handsomely mounted, and
every phase of its production &C
cOmplished in superb taste, THE

the most worthy and deserving can
didates ever to attain the coveted
