Discuss Industry
Possibilities For

Analyzation Of our advantages,
such as climate, as a wedge in the

ment In Jackson county was ad-
vised at a meeting Of the Indus
trial Promotion committee Of the
Chamber of Commerce wednes-
day night by the comittee chair
man, M. b. Scholtes.
Mi. Scholtes UNDERSIGNED the
need for industrial development
by pointing out that unless bust
ness opportunities are made avail
able for young people, Pascagou-
la and Moss Point will become
cities Of old men as young men
and women leave for more wide
awake communities.
Committees were appointed 10
investigate the various industries
proposed as possible for this
county.
The establishment of an Elm
dustrial nursery" was suggested
by j. G. Schwingle who advocat-
ed the setting up Of a service by
the chamber whereby a man with
an idea could benefit from the
experiences and advice of estab-
lished business men In the COM
munity until such time as his new
business, was In condition to stand
on It's own feet. Mr.. Schwingle.
Joe v. Krebs and John Watts
were named as a committee to In
vestigate the possibilities Of de-
veloping such an Incubator.
The production OF milk, of
which 1900 gallons is imported
into Pascagoula and Moss Point
daily, was discussed as was the
feasibility Of manufacturing glass
locally.
The manufacturing of tile and
the refining of oil and sugar were
discussed as industrial possibili-
ties as were crab farming, the
muskrat industry and building of
pleasure boats. Utilization of
scrap wood from various mills

B. de Mile put over another

vindicated. At best the contest
between extravaganza and econo-
my was draw.
Came The Revelation
l HAT was before the recession"
Things are different now. The
Young Turks" are in complete
control. Confirming the victory
was this statement from successful
old-hand Goldwyn:
In the next twelve months,
Hollywood must make completely
revolutionary changes in its OBJ
jectives and methods. Quality must
be doubled and costs cut in half.
"Inefficiency must be rooted out
of high places as we'll as all other
ranks. 1t is startling indictment
of our industry that with employ
ment throughout the United
States at its highest peak in his
tory, box Office receipts have been
going down. Unless thorough
and honest housekeeping takes
place, the difficulties our indus
try has experienced of late will
fade into insignihcance by COM
parison with those ahead. Costs
can be reduced without impairing
quality by careful preparation of
scripts, advance planning and
by reduction of general over
heads.
There is no surer road to ruin
for the industry than poor pictures
produced at high cost" Since this
seems to be the general line now,
the people who return to the
studios will hardly recognize the
old places. They might even have
trouble keeping up with the new,
quick tempo.
Returning publicity men will
have a difficult adjustment. No

When the Digestion is
Weakened or impaired
AS people grow older and digestion
becomes weakened or impaired they
often need larger amounts of certain
food elements to maintain strength
and vitality. Ovaltine can help in
these important ways:
First, it supplies a wide variety of
food elements which are frequently
deficient in diets of elderly people.
High-quality proteins, food minerals
Iron, Calcium and Phosphorus, and
vitamins A, b., c, D, G and Niacin.
Second, it furnishes these vital fac
tors in food-drink form-speciaIIy
broeessed for easy digestion.
Tbird, taken warm at bedtime,
Ovaltine promotes sound sleep, with.
out drugs.
So try it today, for better sleep and
for extra nourishment to maintain

Young Turks" who are talking
as if golden opportunity had hit
the industry instead of hard times.
They have been arguing for years
that the industry needs cheaper,
better productions, and that the
two adjectives can go together.
They thought their point was
proved when Dore Schary was
made production head at RkO on
a program of this sort. He crashed
through with pictures like Cross
fire. and The Long Night" But
RkO was never fully committed
to the program. 1t continued to
make and distribute conventional
pictures, with conventionally large
budgets.
At Twentieth Century-Fox,
Daryl F. Zanuck, long the symbol
OF lavish production and mediocre
plot, confounded his critics and
backed the Turks" with a series of
workmanlike and economical Jobs
The House on 92nd Street."
Boomerang" Miracle on 34th
Street" Kiss of Death" Gen
tleman's Agreement" He has
others like them Oh schedule.
These pictures cost relatively
little and made lot Of money.
But the studio seemed frightened
by its own temerity, had 50 little
faith in Miracle on 34th Street"
that it hardly gave the picture a
promotion campaign.
Cradle Doesn't Worry
FURTHERMORE, Zanuck hedged in
a big way by producing the
%,000,OOO extravaganza, Cap
tain from CASTLE" in glorious
Technicolor, with % principals
and a cast of 10000.
Zanuck's biggest star, Betty
Cradle, (see our cover), doesn't
worry about the wolf. Like other
top stars, she makes a couple of
pictures year. can't afford to
make more on account of taxes.
Ditto such cameramen as Betty's
Leon Shamroy, several times
Academy Award Winner, and her
director, Otto Preminger. (The
sequence they are filming is from
what may be Hollywood's last gala
musical this season - That Lady
in Ermine.
Samuel Goldwyn continued to
make good but expensive pictures
"a policy that found its justifca-
ton in the artistic and financial
success of BEST Years of Our
Lives" David o. Selznick made
lot of money on a bad expensive
