HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 25.-You
Hollywood believe it'll! There's
absolutely no doubt concerning
the genius of Irving Thalberg
as witnessed by a new 10-year
contract he has signed with MGM
that doesn't go into effect until
his present one is completed in
1898. They're certainly taking
no chances of losing him in any
key.
At Paramount the very affable

likes on the lot, has taken over
Lubitsch's berth and is now the
head of the studio. While al

George Raft is still on the sus

SUPERB DIRECTION
In the recreation of that dra-
matte scene in Ford's Theater on
Good Friday night in 1865, when
a bullet was lodged in the Eman-
cipator during the performance
of "Our American Cousin" the
California studios have been faith
full to history pages. The Sc
quence is dramatic, dignified and
catches some of the terror and
Mortified excitement which must
have gripped the audience that
witnessed the tragedy following
the precipitate flight of the aSsaS-
sin after leaping to the stage
and shouting: "sic Semper Ty-
ranniS."
Booths flight into the night was
checked by the injury to his leg
and he halted at the Maryland
estate of DR.. Mudd to get relief.
Unaware Of the identity of his pa
tient, DR.. Mudd prepared home
made splints, set the bone, and
then provided a prescription to
ease the pain. Circumstances

DRAMATIC SCENES
There is a story to the effect
that DR.. Mudd'S descendants are
not quite satisfied. Certainly it
cannot be because their ancestor
is painted with other than heroic
strokes. You can't see this pic
ture without taking away a belief
that the Civil War doctor was one
of Gods noblemen. q credit to
the honorable profession he
adorned.
At least, United States Senator
George L. Radcliffe, of Maryland,
is pleased with the production, for
the picture opens with this fore
word from the solon:

REPORTER FLIES
To G|RDLE WORLD
Hindenburg Takes Leo Kier'
ran on First Leg OF
22,OO0-Mi|e Journey.
BY LEO KIERAN.

LAKEHURST, N. j.. october !
(NANA).-Many months Of prep
arations are over, 1t Is close to II
pm, and the first air leg Of trip
around the world in test OF estab-
lished means Of transportation Is
about to begin.
The cry has gone up from the
waiting airliner Hindenberg. "Al
passengers aboard" In few minutes,
the ofioer on the bridge will give
the order, "Up ship"
It is my expectation to return to
Times Square, New York, my starting
point. about 4 pm. on October Il,
covering some $4,000 miles in less
than 81 days.
Clocked by an official timer, Will
liam c. Tint, representing the Ma
tional Aeronautic Association, left
Times Square at 7:43:32/5 pm. In q
dismal drizzle.
Traffic progress was discouragingly
slow under the circumstances and we
did not reach the Newark Airport
until 8:16:30. AS the weather forbade
air travel to Lakehurst, the American
Air Lines sped our group to the Lake
hurst field by iN regular limousine
service. We arrived here at 10:11:10
pm. and found an excited throng
awaiting the take-of.
AS no two persons previously travel
ing around the world, by whatever
route, have covered exactly the same
distances, therefore, whatever route is
travelled establishes its own record.
Suffice it to say that, in choosing the
regularly scheduled air lines, the
planned lapse Of time is expected to
be the shortest period occupied in cir
cumnavigating the globe in such con-
siderable mileage.
1t is intended to show what time Is
required by a 'round-the-world trav-
eler who resorts entirely to air lines
where feasible. This trip, which
began at Times Square this evening
and which enters its first phase in the
air in several minutes, will employ
five regularly routed air lines. besides
the Hindenburg flight. OF necessity.
because there Is no regular passenger
service there, the distance between
Hong Kong and Manila will be
spanned by steamship. At Manila,
the China Clipper will be boarded for
San Francisco and at the Golden
Gate the last air lap will be entered.

The Times Survey Taken at Convention
Reveals Film Taste Of Indiana Patrons;
Speaker Assai|s Block Booking System
Public Is Urged to Support
PettengiII Bill Now
Before Congress.

The public, If it wants the best in
motion picture entertainment, must
assist in demanding legislation pro-
hibiting the block booking" sys-
tenn now forced on exhibitors, H. M.
Richey, director of the National IN
dependent Association of Allied
Theaters, told members of Asso-
ciated Theater Owners of Indiana
at their midwinter meeting in the
Claypool yesterday.
More than so delegates, repre-
Senting almost all movie theaters in
Indiana, attended.
Block, booking, explained as a
system whereby exhibitors are forced
to contract for groups of from &c
to go pictures, often before they are
filmed, was attacked by several
members of the association, as well
as by the guest speaker.
Booking Surprises Kern
Mayor Kern, who welcomed mem
hers of the association to the city,
expressed surprise that merit sys-
tenn does not exist for selection of
movies by independent exhibitors.
He praised the Pettengill bill, pend
ing in Congress, which would out
law block booking, making it posi-
BILE for the exhibitor to buy from
each producer or distributor pictures
he wants. Mayor Kern urged ex-
hibitors to contribute to good gov
eminent by showing pictures which
tend to increase public respect for
the industry.
Mr.. Richey, also general manager
of Allied Theaters of Michigan, led
the discussion on block booking.
ut is up to the individual theater
owner when protests come to him
about the type of picture he shows
to explain to the public that under
the present situation he is forced
to buy from 26 to so pictures before
they are made, in one block and
most of the time without knowing
anything about them,' Mr.. Richey
stated.
"On the other hand, there are
undoubtedly hundreds of capable
directors and authors who would
produce many worthwhile pictures
if the field of competition were not
closed, as it is when a theater
owner is forced through block book
ing to clog up his limited number
of play dates with eye on the bud

Congressman Pettengill has
opened up a vital subject which, if
explored thoroughly, will bring a
new era in public entertainment
without increasing the cost to tie
industry or the public.
Provisions of Bill
Under provisions of the. bill
which has the active support of the
Indiana exhibitors, a theater owner
could not be unfairly penalized in
the price he pays for films, because
he refused to buy all of block,
and the producer would be asked to
give him at the time of sale a short
synopsis of what each picture is
about so he could to some degree
determine its suitability to his
