Asked why those extra pages on

replied:
Aside from salaries paid to stars
and the cast, and to the technical
crew. and aside from studio rent and
the upkeep on various mechanical
devices used, there Is the material
involved. the most important Of
which Is raw stock. Every take
shot means just that much more
negative and positive stock and more
printing. All this runs up to big
money"
The tycoon here took fling at

Of great reputation who run wild

gard to budgets or film conserva-
ton.
"The average director has no con-
ception of the stock he wastes" con-
tinued the producer. They keep on

lone hundred million dollars-
one-third Of the money that goes
into Hollywood picture production
annually--is wasted In excessively
long pictures, or thrown on the cut
ting room floor
This startling charge was made
today by the head of one OF Holly
woods major studios and will be re-
vealed in detail in tomorrow's issue
of Harrison Reports, weekly trade
organ OF the motion picture indus
try.
p. 8. Harrison, editor and pub
Usher, who Is here for q series OF
interviews with industry leaders
drew many amazing admissions rela-
tive to industry waste from this stu
dio chief. For obvious reasons. he
asked that his name and studio con-
nection be withheld.
Much Of this terrifying waste is
due to the overwriting of scripts
the studio head declared. Most
scripts are overwritten. On a 90
minute picture, the script should be
no more than l30 pages, since it
takes anywhere from one-half to

the action Of single page. What
happens invariably is that the script
is prepared in $50 pages. The en-
tire script is shot, and the picture Is
brought to the required length in
the cutting room.
ITO shoot those extra scenes in
the overlong script, the cost is pro-
portionate. If, for instance, a pro-
ducer budgets his picture at $500, 600
in the case OF q 90-minute picture,
the extra scenes shot will cost one
quarter more than the original bud
get figure. In other words, 5000, 600
is thrown on the cutting room floor.
And Just because the screen play
was not prepared with patience and
judgment so as to eliminate the un-
necessary shooting!"
The producer went on to draw
comparisons between methods OF
operation In various other industries
and the motion picture business.
The latter Jared pretty badly.

tinued, "if I, as an architect, should

Pilgrim Baptist Church News:
The activities at Pilgrim, Sunday,

mately three months and Fl days
under the pastorate of Rev. Floyd
Massey, Jr., can possibly be sum-
med up in three words, 'full church
participation" as every organiza-
ton redoubled its efforts to make
the day one long to be remembered.
"Sorry All Rooms Are Taken" was
the very timely topic used by the
minister who made clear the fact
that we are so possessed with the
activities of nervous world that
it is not hard to crowd Jesus Christ
out of this season. Rev. Mr.. Mas
sey, Jr., pointed out that, "He is
crowded out by the behavior of
both sides in this world war, by
the gross negligence in the Dunn
barton Oaks World Peace proposal;
and by Organized Religion"
The minister went on to say that
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1944-12-29

man he got it from?
Negro income is leaving Negro
communities in huge chunks, most
or all of it, destined never to be
returned, because no organization
or pressure group has been formed
to convince white business men and
merchants that they ought to in
vest in Negro community projects,
thus leaving part of their take
where it was made.
In other words, the average white
merchant is in a position to pack
up on moments notice and move
out, taking everything with him
except the sidewalk and the poor,
deluded Negro can't put his hands
on thing. It's like a confidence
man working on the street corner
when the cops come along, all he
has to do is stick his cards and
handkerchief in his pocket, pull
his derby down over his ears and
run to the next corner to await
more fools.
With the power and influence
Negroes have given the NAACP
and the Urban League over the
years, it would be very easy for
these organizations to set up in
each city and community where
they have branches pressure organ
izations that would do nothing else
but teach and instruct the people
in sound business principles based
on race pride.

ERIE, Pa, (ANP) = Although
holding to it's non-partisan line, the
Pennsylvania State Conference of
NAACP branches challenged the
branches throughout the state to
ring the doorbells of candidates for
office "and have them go on record
as to how they will vote, both in
concern to Negro citizens.
This was the spirit of the 10th
annual conference held at the Book

presided over by Mrs. Sophia B.

years and one of the founders of the
state conference.

Mr.. McKaine said this was the
first time it had been noted that the
tax was cumulative in South Caro-
lima, and added that "these reports
indicate that the tax is not a simple
fee of 81 per year. The white citi-
zens who have heretofore con-
sidered it lightly, can now see the
Mr.. Mc.Kaine said the real facts
on the tax had been carefully hidden
from the people; that were the cum
