ant as the title role, and the pro-
ducer is now engaged in negotia-
tionS with one of HollyWood'S
most prominent stars.
The scale on which Little Lord
Fauntleroy" Is to be produced will
be comparable to those Of Little
Women" Dinner at Eight"
"Viva villa" David Copperfield,"
'The Tale Of Two Cities" and
other films recently produced by
Selznick.
Added significance attaches to
the engagement Of Freddie Bar
tholomew for the title role through
the fact that the young star Is a
personal discovery Of Selznick'S.
It is he who found Freddie in
England after q worldwide search,
and brought him to America to
play the now-famouS screen role
Of David coppegtield. ..ahA.-~--

scattered along pine ridges, be-
side Bear Greek and in the ad-
joining meadows" McCrea de-
clared. "There also will be q
central lodge and swimming
pool for the guests"

MarIene Suffers
From Arty Friends

Some blame on the authorS but blame the directors
for Dtrich failures had high hopes when heard
that Reuben Mamoulan had been assigned to TSong t
Songs for this graduate Theater Guild stage drecSR
had real achievement on his stage score card.
Imagine then the disappointment when discovered
Mamouan in his first 20 minutes Of 'song Of ScngI~
progressed further in his story than to introduce his two
principal characters Then statue into tho narrative
and it good night Marlens. MamOulian kept throwing
this statue nude fgurs-at the audiences photographed
it from every angle and seemed to forget all about his plot
and story telling Brian Ahearne Marlenes leading man,
expressonless department store dummy and as
wooden high school beginner. Then and there re-
solved that Dietrich would make feature
while she teamed up with directors who were suffer-
ing from an art complex.
Joseph Won Sternberg has been even worse than
Mamouian Marlene Dietrich guide. In Scarlet
Empress he seemed to lose sight of the fact that screen
audible that something necessary besides artistic
pictures Of royal candeabras and backgrounds Of beauty
Somebody like Edwin Hill rectng the story Of this pic
ture could have done better job than the scenario
provided for Won Sternbergs jubilee with the
Won Sternberg got mother chance with "Devil 1 b
Woman and did from every standpoint Their pro"
fessional parting may have caused Joe and Mrene pan
but for the good of Paramount it desirable rupture.
1t my intention to write at length Paramounfs
problem stars but they the purpose IN proving that
there greater handcaps to the production Of successful
motion pictures than the restraining hands Of the purity
