HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 24.-Odc
bits Of press agentry: The Mary
Pickford deal for the Dionne
quintuplets to make three pictures
for her organization is still goine
strong with the quints getting g
percentage on a rising scale or
each opera, perchance the Ca
madam Government allows them
to accept the offer. If this dea,
goes through, the market will be
absolutely flooded with motion
pictures Of the quintupletS because
Pathe already have a contract to
show them once a month in a
newsreel, plus three tWo-reel fea-
lures yearly. Not bad!
Stepin Fetchit is no longer in
the Shirley Temple opera THE
Littlest Rebel" He's been replaced
by Sleeping Eat, another sepia
gentleman and furthermore I be-
lieve Stepin has lost his contract
with Fox-Twentieth Century all be-
cause of temperament for which
he is famous. The first day of
shooting he delayed the company
an hour because he complained
the lights hurt his eyes-so rather
than put up with any more non
sense, they replaced him then and
there.
At Sam Goldwyns studio they
won't let Eddie Cantor on any set
where they are shooting serious
sequences because his infectious
sense of humor gets everyone hys-
terical instead of lacrymose, and
you can't get any place seriously
if you laugh all the time-can
you?
1t would seem that Pert Kelton
IS giving Hollywood and the
movies the go-by even though she
is noncommittal whether or no she
plans to resume her career in the
near future. According to the lit
tie woman, having been here for
two years is entirely long enough.
She's now off for New York, Eu-
rope and possibly Ethiopia, and
not a future plan in her head. {.
In Sylvia Sidney's new picture,
Mary Burns, Fugitive" they have
one of the most unusual sets
you've ever seen. It's the second
story of tenement house flat
built on stills so she can actually
have a staircase to run up and
down. Usually when they have a
second story scene they cut a hole
in the stage, put couple of steps
down in it, and then you have to
duck to give the illusion of going
some place. Well, as I always say,
something new out here every
minute!

rank. His struggle in loneliness,
his unhappiness and his final
winning through to the heart OF
his father is a thing that misted
the eyes of even as hardened

The cast is most unusual. The
roles are few but are, without eX-
ception, played with restraint and
fine feeling for the quality of
the story. I am sorry that I have
no data on the cast. shall ask

a tender and gripping story. The
French dialogue may bother you
for the first five or ten minutes,
after that you are wrapped in a
story that won't let you loose.
The picture shows throughout
the deft touches of a master
artist. j. w. b.

Protection For
Big Movie

An entirely new system OF re-
stricted release of a motion pic
ture, with one years protection
given to every theater playing the
film, will be put into effect by
Warner Bros. for "A Midsummer
Nights Dream" is announced by
Major Albert Warner, vice presi-
dent in charge of distribution.

Powell, Jean Muir, Victor Jory,
Verree Teasdale, Anita Louise,
Hugh Herbert, Frank McHugh,
Mickey Rooney, Ian Hunter, Ho-
bart Cavanaugh, Olivia de Havil-
land and Ross Alexander.
Major Warmers statement fol.
lows:
In view of the magnitude of
the Reinhardt production of "A
Midsummer Nights Dream" on
the screen, of the fact that it rep.
resents one of the greatest for
ward steps in the history of the
motion picture industry, and of
the widespread public interest in
the picture, both in this country
and abroad, Warner Bros. have
decided that it shall be exhibited
only on a reServed-seat basis and
under special conditions which
must be agreed to by the theaters
showing the film.
Every theater booking "A Mid.
summer Nights Dream under the
special terms applying to this pro
duction will receive one years pro.
lection from Warner Bros. That
is to say, the theater will be guar
anteed that no other exhibitor in
that territory shall be permitted
to play "A Midsummer Nights
Dream for one year after the be-
ginning of the original engage.
ment on any other than a. road
show basis"
