PRODUCER PANDRO S. BERMAN
of R-K-O-Radio has hardly
passed the age of 80, but his predic-
tions for I'm production usually set
a standard for other. more mature
producers to follow. Here is what he
promises for 1898:
Drama, action and suspense in the
class b field, with a noticeable i'm
provement in this type of picture. Two
recent typical examples were Flight
From Glory and Danger Patrol.
strongly dramatic films, cohesive and
made at moderate expense. There
appears to be positive demand for
class b pictures along these lines" "

Production for 1888 at Twentieth
Century-FoX will continue along the
lines of the current season, which,
under Wahoo- Wonder Daryl zanuck,
has seen that company rise to the
highest point in its history.
Features Of this trend are the en-
phasis on dramas that have worldwide
significance as well as worldwide au-
dience appeal" states the producer.
THE new pictures include Stanley
and Livingstone The Life of Alex
ander Graham Bell and Bank Of
England These productions will COM
pare with In Old Chicago the most
pretentious we have attempted.
AN important part in the coming
seasons program will be taken by
Shirley Temple, who continues to be
the screens No. star. Shirley is
showing great promise as dramatic
actress, and we will continue to alter
nate her in bigger productions which
will show both her dramatic and song
and-dance ability.
As always, musicals will also be a
formidable part of our program.

Movie audiences have only just
begun to laugh" states veteran

dies for 1893 release-'Bluebeard S
Eighth Wife starring Claudette Col
bert and Gary Cooper: DR.. Rhythm,

and Harold Lloyds first film for
long period, Professor Beware"
Sam Goldwyn is striving to estab-
lish something new for 1898.
Public acceptance of the ballet on
the stage and concert halls has been
very evident this year." says Sam.
Its acceptance on the screen will do
more than make pictures like The
Goldwyn Follies' successful. 1t will
destroy the Hollywood belief that a
few routine. old-fashioned dance
numbers, a back-stage locale and a
thin love story are enough to make a
musical picture" Goldwyn also be-
lleves that 1888 audiences will de-
mand the abolition of the double bill
menace, produced mainly for the pur-
pose of filling time cn two-picture
program.
Hal Roach's aim for the coming
season is to produce lavish and di-
versifled films, but the same old
laughter makers.
Comedy is comedy, ages old, and
the basic situations which produce it
are unchanging," he says. I'm one
OF the more recent successes there is
an episode almost identical with one
in short comedy made on our lot
more than 10 years ago, and the
heartiness with which it is greeted is
IN no way affected by the passage of
time.
ONE change is apparent, but it has
nothing to do with basic princi-
pies. In former days, romance and
comedy were not permitted to mix.
The public did not like to see its
idols in anything approaching slap
stick. The principals took no part in
the mad melee around them, leaving
the rougher stuff to the foils. Now,
the greater the star, the madder and
giduier the comedy in which he or
she enjoys being thrust"
THE successful pictures of the past
year have been the good pictures"
says Jack L. Warner. And the out
standing success of our picture, The
Life Of Emile Zola," with Paul NUM-,
gives us renewed courage to proceed
with plans for other productions as
carefully made from worthwhile SUBJ
jects. Our 1888 program offers a
widely diversified list of choice pic

GROWTH OF A NATION
By J. E. Jones

by >. r.. JONES
Delaware recently celebrated the
settlement by the SWedes in that
State three hundred years ago. Del
aware was the first State to ratify
the Constitution. Ohio reminds US
by it's automobile tags that it escap-
ed British captivity in the North
west Territory $50 years ago when it
was ceded to the United States.
Eight Presidents have come from
Ohio. California and Texas came in
to the United States less than a hun
dred years ago.
Every State has contributed its
thrilling chapter Of growth and de-
velOpment through the years. They
have all come by way of the primi-
tive forests and unsettled lands, to
find places of importance in a grow
ing Nation. That Nation began-with
a narrow strip of IS quarreling
States along the Atlantic seabOard,
and those States were unwilling to
submit to Federal control.
The early pioneers crossed the
Continent by travelling for several
months, OF they sailed around the
Horn and back. II took a year or
two. They had no visions of Our
Future, when fresh citrus fruits
from Florida and California would
find their way to breakfast tables in
every State. How could they con-
template the future of Muscle Shoals,
Niagara and Columbia Rivers, or
Boulder Damp.
Steamships began using fuel oil
and electric drives 80 years ago;
railroads have very recently recog-
nized the value Of Diesel engines.
The automobile ranks first in
transportation though it was mere
infant in 1900. Before a single wheel
turns in any motor manufacturing
plant, the purchases have already
begun in the process of moving mon
ey to Main Street.
The far-stretehes of space and
time have been brought closer by
modern transportation and commun-
icatiOn. In consequence neighbors
and customers are no longer the
few who live in the narrow spaces OF
a single community-theys spread out
into every nook and corner of Ma
tion that had its simple beginnings
in Virginia, Massachusetts, and Della
ware. Finally the family of Nation
was complete when Arizona and New
Mexico were born. Today we are the
most progressive Nation in the
World with 130.000.00O people-con-
trasted to less than 100000 when
George Washington pushed of as
top-man OF the new Government.

BELIEVING IN SIGNS

A good many of the latest official
reports are optimistic. The Depart
ment of Commerce which is rather
cautious in its conclusions, has
hopes of a business pickup in the
near future.'
A good many lines Of business are
feeling the beneficial effects Of Gov
ernment purchases. Careful obsery-
ers i'm Washington believe that the
investing public is ready-with lots
of boarded and hidden money. to re-
turn to the investment markets and
pour new capital into business.
The action OF the Government in
opening the gates for more care
less banking" In the way OF "elas-
tic lending" is hailed by the Admin
istration as a big thing for business
men. Well, maybe! Suppose you ask
your own bankers opinion. He likely
knows the answers better than the
Governments money-managers.

FEDERAL LICENSING
OF CORPORATIONS

The entire political swing, inde-
pendent of campaign issues or inves-
LEGATIONS, is leaning towards the pro-
posal of Federal licensing OF corpor-
ations.
Undoubtedly the corporations
would have no objections to being
licensed under definite conditions
that would not restrict them in the
conduct of their affairs. The fear Is
that such a system Of licensing
would gradually reduce our great in
dustries to a system Of servility like
that which has made the Govern
ment the Railroad Boss.
