Many times in her long movie

Once, during an influenza cpl

the report that Miss Main was sit

5.Point Program for Recovery Taking Form
in Hollywood

ther, it must get unified support
from every faction in the business.
A flVe-point program is being dis
cussed, as follows:
/. Reduction of production costs
by 40 per cent.
2. Complete concentration on the
domestic market.
3. Wholesale development of new
starring faces.
4. Closer scrutiny Of stories,
stressing originals.
5. Establishment Of an industry
bureau of public relations, spending
S., 100000 annually to Offset criti-
cism and build good will.
Analysing this program in nu-
merical order, the first naturally is
the one demanding most immediate
and serious consideration. Reduc-
ing picture-making costs by 40 per
cent Is no wild dream. It has been
done in several notable instances
during the past few months. Half a
dozen good pictures have been
brought in for less than $500 900 bv
independents, lending inspiration
and courage to big studio heads in
the habit Of tossing funds around
far too 'lavishly.
Point two's development narrows
down to the mere matter of keep.
ing an eye and ear out exclusively
for the wants Of fans in the United
States and Canada.
New Talent Gets Chance,
Point three already has progressed
to an encouraging extent and will
continue to do so as fresh, new tai
ent is brought in from all parts of
the world. They are being groomed
as requirements for the much-de-
rided tired faces" overrunning the
screens for the past 20 years or
more. Hollywood next year will af-
ford the greatest of opportunities for
newcomers.
Point four's enforcement means
the end of 100000 buys on best
seller novels and Broadway hit plays
as well as finale for the spectacle ex-
travaganzas depending on costly
sets and thousands of extras. Staff
writer's are being urged to whip up
original human-interest tales such
as THE Miracle on 34th Street" and
Naked City," ETC., which carried
practically no writing overhead.
Point five Is believed by many as
tute leaders to be one of the most
essential of all. Since its inception
the movie business has been an easy
target for all the critics and REFORM
ers; yet never has 1t moved finger
to fight back.

Finally convinced that their busi-
ness must be overhauled from top
to bottom if it Is to be salvaged
from utter ruin, leaders in the mo-
ton picture field are stalking their
revival hopes on a series Of revolu-
tionary changes that may set new
pattern in celluloid entertainment.
In the face of the screens worst
economic blow, studio heads have
been sitting back for many months
doing little in the way of meeting
the situation head-on.
Now that the day is no brighter
and gives evidence of growing even
gloomier, the boys up front gradually
are beginning to pull themselves
together. They're calling one session
after another. From these gather
ings are blossoming some logical
ideas and plans that may yet prove
effective in putting the derailed
gravy train back on its track.
Even Best Suffered.
No single industry ever has assim-
Hated so much punishment-most of
it sudden, unexpected blows-in such
short time. There was no reason
to suspect that the sensational busi-
ness transacted on every type of film
would founder after the wars end
But it did-and by a lethal 80 per
cent or more! Nothing could stop
the nose-dive. Where both good
and bad pictures had been playing
to whopping returns, even the super
dupers began folding.
Hollywood barely had got under
way with its firing campaign-some
IS per cent of all workers eventually
were laid off-when the British
debacle broke. Hollywood's only
hope in the wrecked foreign field,
England calmly announced crush
ing embargo on American-made
movies. Just how much of sumner
this proved Is indicated by the fact
that Hollywood producers could de-
pend on Britain's revenue to pay the
entire negative cost Of each feature.
All other play dates were pure profit.
Average negative cost of feature
these days is $1,500,000.
All this time, of course, television
was sneaking up on the film busi-
ness. Not unaware of its rapid de-
velopment as a direct competitor to
the theaters, the film industry pre-
ferred not to notice. Two years ago
television still was gadget to be
toyed with and speculated about.
But today it is giant ogre that
keeps thousands Of people chained
at home and in cocktail bars when
normally they would be out buying
movie tickets.
TV Hazard Recognized.
Hollywood likes to say publicly
that it faced this same dilemma and
eventually whipped it 80 years ago
when radio leaped into the arena
Privately, however, 1t confesses that
television shows every sign of be-
coming a much graver menace than
radio.
Can Hollywood snap out Of it and
make quick comeback?
Shrewd old-timers who have man
aged to retain their sanity and op-
timism through the emergency be-
lieve it can. They hasten to add,
however, that definite plan of &C
ton must be determined upon. Fur

Hit, 9 Flop
In Theater's
First Dozen
By jack OBrian
NEW YORK.


The fall theatrical program being
in full seasonal gallop. let's take .
peek, as the politicians say, at the
record.
So far there have been nine defin-
ite fiops. Three Of the recent ar
rivals are smash hits. Several
others, greeted variously by critics,
have yet to prove their staying pow
er, although some of them seem
likely to stick around through the
full season.
The smash hits are Life With
Mother" greeted with unanimous
raves from the reviewers: Edward,
My Son." welcomed with only slight
ly less enthusiasm, and Private
Lives" O revival Of the old Noel
Coward nonsense with Tallulah
Bankhead starred. In the latters
case, the reviewers who didn't locate
much fun among Mr.. Coward's lines
found that Tallulah's performance
more than made up for any literary
debilitation.
These, then, are what is known in
the agency trade as tough tickets"
Proof Yet to Come.
Others recently presented but vet
to prove their long-run staying
power are Small Wonder" the de.
lightful, intimate musical; "Magda.
lena" exciting musically, but dole
full as q story; Summer and
Smoke" the new Tennessee Will
liams' drama; Love Life" another
bright and tuneful shindig; where's
Charley?" whose attractions are
topped by Ray Bolger but bottomed
by slow and corny old libretto,
and my Romance" a Sigmund
Romberg operetta which is hanging
on despite unanimous agreement by
the critics that it is pretty dreary.
The nine productions which
opened and promptly were battered
to death included Shutdown Beach, :"
a bit of literary amateurism which
never should have got on the boards
in the first place but did because Of
a strange combination of. laudable
but hopeless condolences; Show
Boat" which was booked in for but
two weeks and made graceful and
dignif1ed exit after what amounted
to critical hosannahs.
"Hilarities of 1949," a vaudeville
starring Morey Amsterdam, which
was neither hilarious nor of 1949,
closed after Is performances.
Heaven on Earth" was q huge
Monte Proser> musical which shut
tered after II times. "A Story for
Strangers" sputtered hopelessly and
metaphysically and passed on in less
than a week; "Grandmas Diary"
