Be that as it may, the sacrifice of the little
fellows failed to stem the tide. Lesser stars,
second leads, assistant directors, low-ncome-
bracket writers, dialogue coaches and other
'expendables" were sacrificed.
Movie workers who had been able to keep
their jobs were daily haunted by the fear that

How to cook the wolf at the door is Holly

ghastlier tale to tell.
Things Were Too Good
But before we shed tears over the plight of
the nations fourth largest industry, it must
be admitted that the wolf at Hollywood s door
is rather fat one. Hollywood is retrenching
in the face of swollen profits. As in the big
depression, the movie capital seems bent on
queuing up first in the bread lines
The announced reasons why the movie pro-
ducers are running for cover are shortening
of the lines at the box Office and the slap
ping by Great Britain of rs per cent tax on
American films Hollywood tends, in the

studio was informed that the cost of the towel
service in certain department would 60 up
60 cents per month. The head of the depart
ment refused to authorize it. The question
went to higher echelon. finally reached the
vice president of the company. Somberly. he
okayed the expense.
Even some of the big shots felt the squeeze
Last July there were l07 directors under con-
tract to major studios. BY mid-season. "a
except in b. pictures.
But the bigwigs could save only so
much money by cutting salaries. The
old problem of studio overhead was still
with them. boosted by rising costs and
imitation. The yowl of the wolf even affected
the pin-and-stitch field. Charles lie Marie,
wardrobe director at Twentieth Century-Fox,
says: There was a time when a producer
would order wardrobe. then discard the
whole batch if he didn't like the way they
photographed. Now we have to be agreed on
the final wardrobe before a stitch is taken"
And so on down the line. 1t isn't what you
see on the screen that indicates Holywoods
waste, although it may sometimes seem that
way. You could sit for hours watching scenes
from pictures like ''Yolanda and the Thief
and The Harvey Girls" that were shipped
into the ashcan by the cutters shears. As one
wag put it: IF you asked Hollywood pro-
ducer to build you three-story house. he'd

Pointless Perfection
PREVIOUSLY nobody had seemed to care To
mention cost to Hollywood's creative souls
was to betray mean spirit and lack of
understanding of filn-making. Only results
counted, and not the efficiency with which
results were obtained. Producers and directors
strove for a pointless perfection. They de-
manded and achieved fantastic accuracy of
detail, regardless of expense. They would
call for endless retakes to insure proper
stressing of single syllable, or the elimi-
nation of a harmless off-screen noise.
Less attention was paid to soundness of plot,
authenticity of dialogue
Then suddenly. the lush days were over
The Hollywood genius was no longer the fel-
low who succeeded in spending eight million
dollars to make a super-colossal, but the hard
working guy who could turn out competent
job for less than a million, in 81 instead of rs
working days.
To those who had been hanging around the
palm country for years, operating in lavish
style the thought of working in a real world
was as gloomy prospect as toiling in salt
mine. They were appalled, by the handicap of
not being able to shoot 100000 feet of film

Strange New Year
Beliefs Still Exist

Over England and Scotland, In
the villages of the plains and high
lands, ancient New Year supersti-
tions still exist.
It is considered unlucky to wear
old clothes on the New Year: bad
luck falls on a house if anyone goes
out before someone has entered. If
the first comer-''first foot" the
natives call it-be man, good luck
will bless the house; if woman or
a fair-haired man, the luck is evil.
So widespread is this belief that in
many villages the dark-haired men
of the community make it regu-
lar business to 60 from house to
house to take the New Year in"
In Herefordshire. at midnight, the
girls rush to the spring. The one
who gets the first drink. or the
"cream of the WELL" is sure of a
handsome, husband.
Unlucky. too. is the good woman
who gives away a light on New
Years day. Where a brand goes
out, the evil fays come in. The
most tender-hearted woman will see
her neighbors shiver in 6reless
house rather than give away light
on the New Year.
