Out here in faraway Hollywood the
producer is inclined to believe radio
is negligible factor in cutting into
theater receipts-although he tenn
pers the statement by specifying that
radio offers no competition to good
pictures"
As the howls of the exhibitor pack
increase. the major studios turn
deaf ear and continue their elaborate
plans for another new season ION the
air.
M-G-M and Warner Bros. sponsor
regular weekly broadcasts, Paramount
is launching program, and Twenti-
eth Century-Fox with a kindly feel
ing toward air advertising, will take
an occasional fling when the situation
seems to warrant it.
What chance has an amateur writer
to break into films?
The short, if brutal, answer is, none.
Studios long ago, because of nu-
merous plagiarism suits, discontinued
reading stories sent in by mail or
tossed on their front doorsteps. Nova
days, they deal only with established
writer's directly, or through reputable
agents representing authors. Even
then the procedure is cautious, as there
is a surprisingly large number of
"slickers" who regard the studios as
fair game.
What kind of pictures are we going
to get?
A study Of films now completed and
production charts covering the next
four months presents some very
bright prospects. In fact, there is
every indication that the new prod
uct for fall and winter release will
equal or excel in quality that pre-
sented year ago this time-and, by
and large, there was nothing par
ticularly wrong with the product of
that period.
The new trend Is definitely toward
comedy drama and comedy, although
there is a conspicuous absence of
farces OF the "screwball'' or ''nit-wit"
brand which came to the screen last
season In overpowering quantities. The
soggy fops registered by the last two
or three Of these zany pictures con-
vinced producers that people can
stand just so much.
Foremost on all studio charts are the
"series" subjects. They have taken
surprising hold on the public during
the past year. The studio without a
family series" subject. which can 70
on and on with the same cast and on
very small budget, is out in the
cold.
Gangster pictures, as such, are out,
although there are several crime"
productions on the list. However, this
theme is now to be approached from
a serious and sociological angle tn the
fashion established by Dead End" and
Crime School" Following Little
Tough Guy" which featured the
famous Dead End" toughies, 1T is
understood the Hays ONCE warned
producers to go easy on stories dealing
with the pranks of these lads.
In the 81 pictures listed in the "mo-
ton pictures are your best entertain
ment" drive, which ends December 81,
there are about Is musicals smaller
ratio than ever, indicating producers
are again treading cautiously in offer
ing song-dance subjects. Incidentally,
only three pictures will be in techni-
color.

MONTANA SEEKS TO HALT
 SPREAD MARIJUANA WEED

HELENA. Mont.-Co-operation of two state agencies in a campaign to halt the unexpected spread of the marijuana plant growth in eastern Montana was announced by James T. sparling, state commissioner of agriculture.
 MariJuana was discovered grow ing in eastern Montana by Wallace Kaiser. one of the state horticultural inspectors. Plants valued at about S7500 were found growing wild in the GlendiYe district Sparling said he and ]. W Forbes. director of the food and drug division of the state board of health. were interested in the campaign to prevent the plant from spreading throughout the state.
 George L. Knight, chief of the agriculture departments division of horticulture, has advised all in- spectors of that division to keep a close watch for marijuana plants and to report them to local authori- ties immediately upon discovery.
 A field force of about 20 men will take up this campaign in Mon tana. Field men of the food and drug division of the health board also are to cooperate in this man. ner, Sparling said.
 One arrest has been reported in the drive. J. R. Madero, said to be a sugar beet field worker who made his home at Worden, recently was convicted of possession of 60 dried marijuana plants and was fined 5000 and sentenced to six months in the Yellowstone county jail.

FOREST SERVICE CHIEF TELLS
 DISADVANTAGES OF HIGHWAY

Robert Marshall, chief of the di- vision of the forest service, and author of Arctic Village, told the Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce recently that in his opinion the pro- posed international highway would not be such good thing for Alaska as many anticipate.
 He said that the tourist attraction to the Tanana valley, for example, is not so much for the scenery as for the fact that Alaska is a fron- tier. It it had direct link with the states, that frontier attraction would be removed and he predicted there would be an influx of broken-down cars with broke people anxious to share in Alaska's fabled riches.

AND CAssIAR HOTsH0Ts
 1By Ken NeyiIle)

Another phenomena of ever changing river conditions confront ed the Hazel B No. 3 on the stikine trip last week as We found on en- terIng the river at it's mouth that unusual low water prevailed almost to the Porcupine The next day about mid-mOrning. the river began to rise at an alarming rate and without any apparent reason. Sticks and ieebergs came floating down stream in such quantities that 1t was difficult to avoid them. h the water was somewhat of a mys- tery. since there had not been enough rain to cause this condition and it certainly was not because the sun was shining so fiercely as to melt the snow on the mountains, we were pleased at the prospect of making a quick and easy trip to Telegraph Creek with our ten tons of freight.
 An unpleasant surprise lay in store for Us, however, when we found on reaching the Barley Cash, point just half way between Wrangell and Telegraph Creek, that the river had dwindled to a mere creek and that our high water was the result of a large lake which had been storing water all summer from a glacier, suddenly breaking loose and pouring it's entire con- tents into the Stikine. Anyway, our quick and easy trip illusions were shattered and we reached Telegraph Creek after a fiYe-days trip in which we had to line seven times.
 %#
 One of lifes tragedies was en- acted the other day in a real life drama aboard the Hazel B No. which threatened to upset the mor- ale of the entire ship. Captain Hill Harrington had just retired, and several of Us were carrying on an animated conversation in the galley. During a lull in the discussions, strange sounds were heard coming from the direction of Hills state room. Audible grunts, a whispered curse, and finally a roar which shivered the timbers from stem to stern. Feeling that something was drastically wrong, l hastened into the room, and found the captain, pajama clad, sitting in his bed with both feet sticking clear through a recently torn sheet, and as mad as a German dictator. This, he said, wiggling a couple of toes in fur ious manner, is going too far, wait till I get my hands on the guy who short-sheeted me. Brooks Hanford, the lion hearted, perpetrator of this dastardly deed, spent many bad moment while waiting for things to quiet down.
