Having just returned from our
annual convention, I am in posi-.
ton to outline some Of the high
lights Of our next seasons pro
gram. Columbia's solid financial
position makes possible very elab.
crate and costly program for the
new season.
There is now in production a
Claudette Colbert picture, "She
Married Her Boss" for which We
hold high hopes.
Grace Moore's Love Me For
ever" Is now definitely scheduled
for a third week in Radio City
Music Hall. Despite hot weather,
storms and extraordinary humid.
ity, new box office record has
been established in this, the
worlds largest theater. We there
fore look forward with great pride
to the two new Grace Moore pro.
auctions which are to be released
during the new season.
Frank Capra, in addition to di.
recting two productions, will per.
sonally supervise two additional
ones. His first vehicle will be
James Hilton's best seller, Lost
Horizon" which will star the dis
tinguished Ronald Colman.
Important stories have been
purchased from which his future
selections will be made. Some
which we are considering are:
valley Forge" Theater Guild
Broadway stage success by Max.
well Anderson, Pulitzer prize
winner.
1.-THE Big Shot," by Ben Hecht
and Charles Macarthur.
"The Rented Body" by Rupert
Hughes; as well as many hit
plays and short stories.
Leo Garlic, who earns a right
to stardom in Love Me Forever"
has been selected for feature
roles in two new productions.
B. P. Schulberg, for many years
production manager for Para
mount, will produce six Columbia
specials.
The subject, Erich Mans Daugh-
ter" featuring George Raft and
Joan Bennett, is now nearing COM
pletion.
Irene Dunno, lovely star of
Roberta" Back Street." "Cim-
AKRON" and other triumphs, will be
another bright personality to ap-
pear on the new program.
We feel that we have selected
an excellent vehicle for Ruth
Chatterton. Modern Lady"
which is adapted from the SenSa-
tional magazine serial by Grace
Perkins, will soon go into produc-
ton.
Josef Won Sternberg, the genius
who created Morocco" Shanghai
Express" 'The Blue Angel" and
others, will direct one of the most
powerful stories ever written
Dostoievsky's Crime and Punish
ment." Edward Arnold and Peter
LORE are scheduled for two i'm
portant leads in this production.
Walter Connolly, who has long
been associated with great roles,
will appear in two outstanding
storieS-"All His Geese are
Swans" and 1.-The Butler"
Announcements will be shortly
forthcoming regarding the i'm
portant star names which will be
cast in the Frank Capra and the
B. P. Schulberg productions.
All in all, it looks like our COM
pany is definitely headed for a
year which will eclipse anything

Once Wanted .Taffy

One month after I seized this
paste pot and shears and began to
critic on plays and pictures, I
received a scathing letter from q
Washington movie executive ad-
viSing me how he wanted his fea-
lures reviewed and quoting Peril
ton Maxwell, of the Theater Mag
azine as holding the right point
Of view. Mr.! Maxwell opined:
"COnsider the situation if it
existed in other fields: Let
Mays or Gimbel Brothers,
Wanamaker'S or WO0lwOrth'S

ment. Much money is spent
to make an attractive display.
What then, if the reporters sent
to describe the opening did not
like the show and roasted it?
why, those papers would be
sued for heavy damages and
they would have to pay for
their libeIS. But through their
dramatic critics the journals
can destroy great theatrical
ventures and remain immune"

Anyway, Mr.. Shaw is interest.
ing always and, ennuied, on the
eve Of quitting the typewriter
temporarily, I am going to put
some Of his 1879 remarks about
critics to work. Said he:
"When you first become a
critic no one asks your qualifi-
cations. 1 never was asked
whether I could read or write,
much less # I read Shakespeare
or any Of the dramatists whose
names begin with the same
first two letters"
"My first editor, T. p O'COn-
nor, made me, first Of all, q
music critic. That was my first
step in crime-to prevent me
from writing anything else.
"The only instruction O'COn-
nor gave me was For Gods
sake, don't fill the paper with
Bach and B minors"
From this first step Mr.. Shaw
said he went into dramatic
criticism, a thorough criminal
by this time"
"A dramatic critic is never
lnterfered with except on pOlit-
ical grounds. / was once asked
to be the critic of q paper, but
told the editor couldn't do the
present critic out of a job. He
said: "What can / do then"

He answered at once that

ever.
"The dramatic critic cannot
be removed, he is entirely ire
SpOnsibIe. There is no remedy
for it. Sometimes the talent Of
the critic creeps in in spite of
himself"
This, then, should give much
encouragement to those who are

can't, by the G. B. S. appraisal,

The wonder is that any critic.

enough friends left in the theater
to accept an invitation to sit in

Movies Grow Up

Strange to say I won in this
debate. The motion picture in
dustry has reached the stage to-
day where it no longer asks for
a steady dose of critical taffy.
It can take a rap now and then
and does-particularly If the
critical opinion is honest. It has
also discovered that all the critics
and all the columnists in the
world can't blow a product to
success if the public looks the
other way.
So the task of the critic and
the columniSt has become easier
and it is possible to retain friend
ships with the executives and
managers, and 'Still air a purely
personal view occasionally.
On a hot July night I couldn't
think of anything better to write
about than an introduction for
the pinch hitters and q word Of
encouragement, if they need it.

DISEASE IN CATTLE CAUSES 4
UNDULANT FEVER In HUMANS

A meeting Of State agricultural
and allied groups, called by the leg
islative committee Of the State
Grange, went on record Monday as
approving the continuation of the
program of testing cattle for Bangs
disease and destroying those found
to be infected, providing State aid Is
available for indem1ifying owners
Of condemned cattle.
The meeting, held in the State
Agricultural Building, Dover, had as
its chairman, Dean C. A. McCue, Of
the University Of Delaware.
1t was unanimously decided to
bring before the State Legislature a
bill, prOpOsinging to allow the State
Board of Agriculture to pay indem-
nifty to the herd owners for those
animals which shall have been found
to be infected, and consequently de-
stroyed. This activity is at present
carried on under Federal funds, but
there is little certainty of an extern
sion of this appropriation. Under the
proposed State law, the indemnity
would be paid from the fund set up
for the eradication Of bovine tuber-
culosis, so long as the appr0pria-
tiOn for the purpose will bear the
added expense Of the eradication Of
Bangs disease, without curtaillng
original purpose for which the ap-
preparation was provided.
Bangs disease is dangerous to
humans, in that they may contract
undulant fever through drinking
law milk of an infected COW. This
fever was not recognized until few
years ago, but several cases have
been detected throughout Delaware
during the past few years. In July,
1884. the Federal government apprO-
priated $5O,OOO for the purpose Of
testing herds in Delaware, and de-
those found to be infected |
with Bangs disease. When an ami.
NAL was found to be infected, and
was destroyed, the owner was reim-
bursed $4,000 for grade and $4,000
