Are new stars being developed
rapidly enough?
Is there justification for the
charge that censorable material is
being allowed to creep into motion
pictures?
Are certain types of pictures being
|overdone, others receiving too little
attention?
Are there too many psychological
films?
Should professional critics judge
screen plays based upon previously
published material on their merits
as entertainment or on the basis of
fidelity to the original?
Are foreign films, the number of
which is certain to increase, likely
to be popular with American au-
diences?
Is there justification for the
charge that commercial advertising
is creeping into the movies?

Richard has just been assigned to

be played by Ronald Colman. The
special touch of drama beyond the
irony of Richards assignment is
that Colman spent more years trying
to get out of romantic roles than the
former has in avoiding being cast
as some ones son.
Ney, however, is equally certain

Like Colman, he is far too perceptive

Although wheat and milk may not

production has been slowed as
much as one fourth, by the wheat
shortage. "Roughage," a by-prod-

Producers must have this type

Taylor's Dairy which produces
and distributes from $50 to 200 gal

said the price rise of one cent per
quart would definitely be added
to their sales. This they said will
give them about $35 to $40 per

Officials of White Milk and Ice

that should they get the rise, the
