The prediction, as made by the

portable movie theaters, is very
rosy. The outlook, like the neonic
decor of their instruments, positively
glows.

Just around the corner. In fact, two

312 Films = Year.
In Hollywood, one hears talk about
"cheap movies harming major pic
tures," but few believe barroom
movies will keep people from attend
ing regular theaters.
James Roosevelt, the Presidents
movie making son, will produce
films for a Chicago novelty company
which expects to have $4,000 ma
chimes completed within a year.
Roosevelt's company will film
3l2 different two-and-a-half- minute
subjects year. Six will be on each
reel; it'll cost you a nickel per sub
ject.
Another firm, formed by Agent
Frank Orsatti and Producer Sam
Sax, is ready with a competitive
machine. This company will film its
own pictures. The Orsatti-Sax film
box resembles an diversified record
player, with the screen-about Is by
"a inches-in the face. The machine
the Mills Company is making to
play the Roosevelt films is similar
in appearance. except its screen is
on top of the box.
Objectionable Films?
The pictures will be on .l6-rnilli-
meter film. The screens are so
shielded that, even at a distance of
go feet and in ordinary light, the
pictures are quite easy to see. Roose-
welt says his films will be visible to
persons as far as ITO feet away.

story has no place to 60. 1t achieves
that effect from time to time, but
there are other movements when
the audience is enabled to sit back
and wait for the picture to catch up
with it.
Best feature of "An Angel from
Texas" is the portrait of a Pam
handle dimwit created by Albert.
A prairie cluck with $4,000, he
looks just like the push-over for
whom a couple of shoestring musical
producers Ronald Reagan and
Morris) have been searching. Love
for a Texas girl, full of ambition
and in the clutches of the producer
pair, makes Albert even more OF a
sap in the hands of the pressure
boys. In the end, however, he gets
them In the best tradition of the
kaufman satire which always has
been a two-edged affair.
Brightest sequence of "An Angel
from Texas" thing of sound and
fury which would be spoiled by
sense, is that in which the producers
turn the heat on the young man
to convince him their crackpot
musical is the greatest drama since
Hamlet" Adaptors Fred Niblo,
tr.. and Bertram Millhauser plucked
generously from the kaufman orig
inal dialogue and action and the
thing comes off very well.

other passages to make IAN Angel

when he can be pulled aboard and

then tied up until brought ashore.
When the hunter spots his quarry
