INDEPENDENTS MAKE PROTEST
 TO PRODUCERS
Claim Movie Stars Paid Ex- 'cessive Salaries, No
 Longer Drawing

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, May 5-Tht Independent Theatre Owners Asso- citation, Inc. representing hundred, of the United States, charges tho movie producers with paying exces- sive salaries to such stars as Greta Garbo, Mae West, Joan Crawford Katherine Hepburn, Kay Francis Edward Arnold, Marlene Dietrich Sonia Henie, Myrna Loy, and Gary Cooper. It is claimed the stars named, as well as others have lost their drawing power at the box of flee.
 The charges appear in the form ot an advertisement in a trade publi- cation
 The charges, it is claimed in the advertisement are designed, to wake up the producers, in a con- structive way, to the fallacy of pay ing top salaries on long term con- tracts to stars who are not paying returns on the investment"
 Replying to the charges, an execu- tive of one studio, planes the con- dition on the agents of the stars, saying they boosted the salaries to a point where production can nc longer be maintained at high scale and still pay two leading players $30o,000 per picture. The official stated that if the producers would get together and not outbid for the services of the stars, things would be different.
 The independent theatre owners claim they are forced to pay too much for productions and do not get their subsequent returns at the box office.

WASHINGTON May 5. = That double play, Lodge-to- to- Lodge has the dowager brigade and the debs corps biting their pretty tinted fingernals. But the papas are chuckling into their check books So is the State Department So are l the Senators
 But don't quote me '' Remember the play? Ambassador Joseph P, Kennedy announced re- gently that his embassy no longer would grease the corridor for the American ladies who wanted to meet England's Head Man. He did it after Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, had written he had an applicant.
 So this year about 50 American papas will slip through the summe- S10,000 to the good. It costs about that to bend the knee to the British King in good style. Every year some 300 mamas have kept the social grapevine hot de- manding the right.
 Here's how it goes:
 Mrs Three Chins wants her daughter, Miss One-Chin to be in- troduced Her request is filed with 2S9 others. There comes day when the embassy staff goes into secret session and cuts the list to 50-be- cause there are only two courts a year, and only 25 Americans can make the list each time.
 The 50 names are sent to the Court Chamberlain who has some secret way of finding out whether the ladies are acceptable.
 Two kinds aren't: actresses and divorcees. That bar reaches very high.
 The gates open easily, however, to the offspring of American for tunes
 When the Court Chamberlain sends back an okayed list, the Am bassador forwards letters to the 50 winners telling them the date of the court, asking them to report at the embassy a month ahead of time. That's when Papa starts writ ing checks.
 When the court-attenders descend on the embassy, the Ambassador wife announces a series of teas They're not teas at all, they're schools in court manners.
 Before the tea is passed the Am bassadress holds mock court. She sits in chair at the end of the ballroom, and the candidates prac- tice walking up to the throne. curt swing and backing off side wise. like a crab. That's a little hard on the heavy ladies. They loosen their garters after splitting out the third pair of g chiffons.
 Meanwhile, dresses are being made. They're all on one design, but there's choice of color.
 Three fea thers go with the outfit. They're attached to the head with a tight band.
 The Great Day arrives. Courts at T. The ladies s,art dressing at B. they step into theA- autos around 5.

learned that good picture, whether
1t be comedy. melodrama, whimsy
or stark tragedy. is welcomed by the
patrons. They expect no formula and
no flavor; they do appreciate quality
and an intelligent approach to any
story no matter how trite. Films
marked as sophisticated comedy lose
their popularity when directors,
writer's and producers confuse rowdy
and pointleSs action and dialogue with
the frothy and buoyant stuff out of
which the successful pictures of this
type were made.
As a result of dismal offerings, a
hue and cry has been leveled at the
fantastic comedies j. L. Warner has
declared that smart, sophisticated
films are on the taboo list at his
studio. Frank Borzage, who is di-
recting the rather somber Three
Comrades" at Metro, believes that not
Is per cent of the public appreciates
sophistication and that the balance
is bewildered by fantasy. OF course,
it must be realized that Hollywood
executives always declare a cycle
ended, or type of story unpopular,
when they do not happen to have
yarn of the type under discussion
on their own schedule. It is Just as
well that this antipathy towards
sophistieation has been created in
the industry, for it will spare the
customers from having to sit through
low, slap-stick ventures that Holly
wood believes are whimsical. The
public should not take the producers
declarations too seriously, however.
for, while their minds seem to be
made up today, along will come Frank
Capras you Can't Take It With
You" in a few months and they
will be of again on a rampage of
