"As business manager of a large studio I am constantly solicited for loans by high-salaried people who should be saving their money in an institution like the Pacific Coast Building Loan Association, where they will not only be providing funds for an emergency, but will earn interest in excess of high-yielding bonds, while at the same time they are guaranteed the utmost in safety on account of the state's supervision.

"Of the hundreds of propositions coming before me for investment, I have found the Pacific Coast Building-Loan Association the most convenient for my needs, while at the same time guaranteeing safety and a high yield."

WALTER L. STERN.

"A great many men in this industry are 'too busy' making money to give proper thought to keeping it after they get it. The result is they have nothing to fall back on when 'bed breaks' come along.

"If they would take a few minute now to learn about Mr. Eschner's plan, they would prevent losses and soon build up a comfortable living income from the earnings.

"I wish I had put my money here several years ago instead of into musical comedie; and business speculation."

WILLIAM BEAUDINE.

"Mr. Eschner's Income Building plan is big enough and important enough that I have made it the 'backbone' of my financial program."

Editorial

A birthday is a day of joy. It is the day when a man plans his campaigns for the coming year that he shall surpass the noble achievements of the year just past. In a way it is the beginning of a new fiscal period in his life. And it is always the ambition of man, that no matter how glorious his success of the past year, he wants to attain an even greater height in the coming year.

Carl Laemmle, the beloved chief and founder of Universal Pictures Corporation which with its thousands of ramifications reaches every spot on the earth no matter how remote, is celebrating his birthday on January seventeenth. What achievements have been his in the past year! The most glorious in his and Universal's history! Yet such is the driving, forceful genius of the man that he is planning to set even a new record in the future just as he has in every succeeding year in the past.

To you, Mr. Laemmle, every Universalite pledges his word that he will co-operate and work for you in the coming year with all the sincerity that is his. This is our birthday message to you as we wish you continued good health, happiness, success and "MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY."

CUBISM FOLLOWED

For the first time in Hollywood a large set
has been designed by Danny Hall to follow
the cubistic mode of art.

Impressionistic sets, modernistic and futur-
istic have been built, but the Paradise Night
Club set for "Broadway," Universal's million
dollar all-talkie, is first to carry throughout
the geometrical forms known as cubism.

According to Carl Laemmle, Jr., "Broad-
way" will be a revelation not only in its sets,
but in story, action and direction. It is ultra
modern and advanced in every way, he said.

Dr. Paul Fejos is directing with Glenn Try-
on, Evelyn Brent, and Merna Kennedy in the
leading roles. Dialogue from the stage suc-
cess will be used in the talkie, which Edward
T. Lowe, Jr., adapted.

In the supporting cast are Otis Harlan,
Robert Ellis, Betty Francisco, Fritz Feld,
Thomas Jackson, Paul Porcasi, Edythe Flynn,
Florence Dudley, Ruby McCoy, Leslie Fenton,
Arthur Houseman, Marian Lord, George
Davis and others.

Mrs. Flanagan: "Was your husband in com-
fortable circumstances when he died?"

Mrs. Murphy: 'No, he was halfway under a train."

ART DEPARTMENT

The Barometer of any business is
considered one of the most important
units of any organization, and in this
case let us compare the Art Depart-
ment to that important unit.

Long before the script of any story is
completed the art department usually
has some of the more important sets
designed, together with the trick shots
already figured out. It is the art de-
partment that is called in for consulta-
tion, for in this department originates
the creative ideas for the background of
the pictures. Greater still the respon-
sibility of correct settings and the
proper functioning of all units rests di-
rectly upon the art director.

The Art department and Danny Hall
can be classified as the same for Danny
is the head of this ingenious branch,
that digs into the unknown for new de-
signs, so that the world will stop, look
and stare in amazement at the distinc-
tive creations.

If one doubts this creative impunity
is all that they have to do is to go over
on the New Broadway Stage and just
look at the sets that have been design-

ed for Broadway. After looking at
these sets I am sure that the writer
will be given complete vindication for
his claims.

Danny Hall designed all the sets,
while Tommy O'Neil is Unit Art Direc-
tor on this picture.

Tom Watts: "What kind o' watch you all got?"

Bud Fisher: "I'se got one ob dem won-
dah watches, boy."

Tom: "Wondah watch—I ain't never
heard tell o' one ob dem kind."

Bud: "When I look at it I wondah what time o' day it am."

Doctor—I am sorry but I can't cure your
husband of talking in his sleep.

Madam—Can't you give him something that
will make him talk more intelligently?

Bucklin: "What's the idea of the suit-
case, going away?"

Clark: "No, I heard the church was
giving a rummage sale and I am taking
all my clothes down to the lot until it's
over."

“SAFETY PLUS SERVICE”

Personalities and Generalities

By "MARY'S LAMB"

Christmas was ushered in in the "BEST OF SPIRITS" * * * * The usual season's greetings; the usual season's handshakes; the usual season's libations—and ere long there was an outburst of incoherent conversation, jovial protestations and gentlemanly muffed hicoughs. But, then, what healthy, normal young man would not suffer some nervous affliction—super-induced in anticipation of the Christmas turkey and all its trimmings. Their voices and their gesticulations—north, south, east and west—represented the Tower of Babel, all cracked, unsupported, and ready to fall.

They were sufficiently advanced in social culture, however, to realize that the studio was not the place to celebrate Yuletide in an exaggerated manner, and, so, their conventional instincts caused the "congregation" to disperse while all was well and in good order —very polite of us all, I assure you.

Although a general instability of equilibrium prevailed, everyone's character could bear in-

vestigation. They, — everyone concerned — claimed that the "Virginia Dare" was not so "well-seasoned" (base ingratitude, I call it) but, to the onlooker, the facial expression of the surrounding group—or groups—whose Adam's apples were dancing in unison, were sufficient to sour any "Christmas Cheer"—even make Bacchus himself bow his head in sorrow.

I have the happy privilege of being a constant caller on Ralph Slosser, our pal and former associate, at the Hollywood Hospital. (Telephone OL-1151, Ward 560). He is recuperating with surprising rapidity, from his recent automobile accident. My report regarding Ralph in the last issue (I hadn't visited him and was working on indirect information) was, like Mark Twain's jocular reply to his reported death—"grtcatly exaggerated." Ralph was not "smashed to smithereens" as the report inferred, but was suffering from a badly broken leg, which was serious enough. His philosophical outlook on the situation is his best physician and he can show us all plenty when it comes to being a cheerful invalid. His personality and joviality, even in his injury, unconsciously draws celebrities of all walks of life to his bedside and who feel it a privilege to call upon him.

And, "lest we forget," there is another pal and co-worker of ours, good old Joe Dixon of whom I am sure you will all welcome this recent report. Joe is at the Olive View Sanitarium and another sufferer of optimistic turn of mind who has snapped and is continuing to snap his fingers at even a shadow of the Grim Reaper, until he is now slowly but surely climbing out of the pessimistic views of doctors until already the sunshine of promise of restored health and strength is looming just over the hill.

I take much pride and pleasure in extending my whole-hearted congratulations to our editor, Dave Garber, on the meritorious editorial he compiled for the Christmas issue of this bulletin. His vein of thought, needless to say, carried a great significance and if it is taken in the same manner in which it was written it should ring with sincerity and bind us all by a Golden Cord of Friendship that cannot be broken. I know that Dave's fine thoughts will be impressionistic.

The wiseacres' prognostications that I would be incapacitated (as a result of my recent high-powered haircut, I suppose) has been ma-

terialized. Yes, the 'flu got me—at least so the physician informed me—I didn't have one, but that is neither here nor there and doesn't matter in the least, but it helps to make a story. A picture of Norman Kerry stared me in the face each day and each night, which made me realize how much Norman was missed on the "lot" during the Yuletide period —and adinfinitum.

Dear "GROAN"

Your charming letter made my heart go "pitter-pat" and I'm all blustered and upset, really I am. I'm working on the Sound Stage, you know, DAY AND NIGHT, and the terrible hours have given me a monomania for keeping awake. I pray to be away from the beastly place very soon. It would have been to the aeronautical authorities advantage had they engaged Harry Grundstrom and myself to operate the Question Mark on its recent stupependous flight—for to laugh at the inviting arms of Morpheus is our greatest asset—thanks to the "talkies." Tell me about yourself, dear. Do your kidneys still bother you? Goodness, you must do something for them. I'm worried about you. Yes, I'm worried, I am. It breaks my heart to think of you suffering so, in fact, it hurts me more than it does you. This letter carrying a touch of

"MOAN."

There is no need to tell you all that "Moan" and "Groan" are just food friends, that's all. And both two mighty fine fellows.

I wanted to say something about Les Hydeman whilst on location with the Ruggles company at Santa Barbara. I received only fragmentary information regarding the affair, and anyway I haven't the time and I can't be bothured fooling with such a stupid situation, but it's something about when the company was "shooting" on the Polo Field, Lester carried a thirty-eight foot ladder about seven miles—or more, in order to establish a flag on top of one of the goal posts and when he reached there he found that the post was collapsible. At the near end Dan Fish (who is teaching Les the business) merely lifted his post out of the over-sized hole, "broke it down," attached the flag, re-assembled the post and the job was done—it was done so smoothly that Hydeman looked on in amazement. The rascal

Harry Grundstrom heard his voice recorded for the first time the other day and he claims he LIKED it very much.

In contradiction of their names, Mr. Ernest Smith and Mr. Roland Smith, are not brothers. That is they say they are not—they never have been—never will be, and neither of them give a darn.

Bud and Jack Laraby, on the other hand, have all the characteristic ear marks of being true brothers—they couldn't very well be anything else — they boss each other for supremacy all the time—at home, but "Bud's" position gives him the upper hand at work.

Neither are Les Hydeman and Eric Wilkinson—although they both display talking blue eyes—or should I say smiling blue eyes—have dimples on their knees and wear highly variegated garters. This does not mean that their dispositions are the same, however, Hydeman being a regular he-Circe and the other gentleman—I'm all exasperated at this point—knowing the fellow like I do it's hard to say evn a word.

they still remain two distinct St. Louis gentlemen—although they both advocate and use the same brand of hair restorer.

Wallie Kirkpatrick referred to John Hinds as "Pickel Heinz" and John indignantly claims no connection with Heinz pickles—neither the bottles or their contents—or any of the 57 varieties.

Jules Holland is not a brother (or a brother-law) to the Queen of Holland—although they both, perhaps, play the stock market. Jules enthusiastically juggling "Catterpiller," whilst Her Royal Highness joggles—well, it doesn't add to the story.

And Bert King denies any relationship with the King of Sweden, Spitzenbergen, Ohio, Boyle Heights—or any monarchy whatever. Believe it or not.

And Tom Ashton had nothing to do with christening any alley "ASH CAN ALLEY" or with naming the wrong kind of cat "TOM."

Thomas Ashton, the fellow who had nothing to do with christening the Alley or naming the cat, is the Walter Hagen of the Property Department. On the golf course he sports a gorgeous green sweater but is minus his plus-fours. Oh, Tommy, Tommy, tut! tut! to think that a thing like this should happen in this department. Naughty, Naughty! Tom will be my golf competitor next Sunday for the 'inth time and giving the "devil" his dues, Tom has defeated me at every performance, but, then, I must humor the boy!

This kind of twaddle stuff I try to write is foolish, I know, and the amateurishness manifested must cause lots of laughs. And if they do then that's all I ask. You know I'm just an idle tattler trying to circulate "abused confidences" about the boys, but I don't want to say anything to hurt anyone's feelings—not much!

## GETCHEL GETS FAT

Because of his "constant development," Sumner Getchel, fat boy of Universal's "Collegian" pictures, was signed to play in the fourth series of the popular short subjects.

The round youth, who is said to weigh more as a "senior" than he did while playing in the first, second and third "Collegian" series, will portray the same comedy role as before.

The principals will be the same in the new group, which will be synchronized with sound effects and dialogue, as in the earlier series. They are George Lewis and Dorothy Gulliver in the leading roles, Eddie Phillips, Hayden Stevenson, Churchill Ross, and others.

Nat Ross is directing for Carl Laemmler, Jr., who is author as well as producer of the series.

DEAR EDITOR: What is the origin of "club sandwich?"

Answer: "The name 'Club sandwich' originated when several Scotchmen clubbed together and bought a sandwich."

"FROM BRUSHING FLOORS TO PRODUCTION SUPERVISOR IN FIVE YEARS." Sounds like the title of one of Horatio Algers' best sellers, doesn't it? But it is no such thing. It is the true story of the rise of one of Filmland's most interesting youthful personalities, Robert Wyler.

Visualize, if you will, a picture of "The Ladder of Success." A very good-looking, earnest young man is about to ascend. On the first rung write: "Brushing Floors." On the second you may inscribe the words: "Free Lance Extra." Now, be prepared for some swift climbing. Next, Assistant Director and on and on. The fact that "Bobby" Wyler was born in Europe, has an observing eye and an analytical mind gave him his first big opportunity. When Irving Cummins was preparing for his famous Parisian Opus he needed just such information as this Wyler chap had stored in the recesses of his fertile brain, i. e., a knowledge of European customs, native dress,

foreign architecture and mannerism. Others heard of his efficiency and from that time on he has been in constant demand. Serving in the capacity of Assistant Director to many well-known megaphone wielders, amongst whom were: King Baggott, Clarence Brown, Harry Pollard, Melville Brown, Irving Cummins, and many more. He also served as gag man as well as supervisor for Irving Cummins.

"Bobby" Wyler has, what one might call, a modest complex. I found him very reluctant to talk about himself. Oh, he is perfectly willing to talk about all manner of things, "like shoes and ships and sealing wax and cabbages and kings." But very, very shy on the ego. Somehow that is the very quality one admires most in this personable young man just turned thirty. While he talks about every other thing but himself, one may be sure of this: Young "Bobby" Wyler loves books, the beautiful, and the realities of LIFE.

"What do you think of the 'Oral Cinema' (my own coined word for talking pictures)," I ventured.

Looking up with a quick, interested glance,

he spoke as if this subject was uppermost in his mind at the present time, as it is in the minds of most of us. "Why, they will completely revolutionize motion pictures." And continuing, he said: "Think of their educational possibilities? The field is limitless, isn't it?" Here I agreed perfectly. "Bobby" Wyler grew quite enthusiastic when he discussed synchronization of pictures.

Well-educated, handsome, cultured and of a delightful personality—all the essentials of a bright future are in store for Robert Wyler. With three pictures to his credit: "Buck Privates," which was directed by Melville Brown and has been acclaimed by critics everywhere as one of the outstanding war comedies of a period. Next, "Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly?" with William Wyler, brother of Robert as director, which is an appealing little story that shifts from Paris to New York; and "The Shakedown," which is now being released. One can readily see just how far up the ladder "Bobby" will eventually climb.

Do all the good you can as you roll along. Life is a one-way street and you're not coming back.

## "U"
1929 PROGRAM

Following a week of story conferences in New York between Edward Montague, Universal scenario head, and studio executives, a large program of production for 1929 has been announced.

At the conference it was brought out that the studio's stars and featured players are all admirably suited for talking pictures, according to Laemmle's announcement. They have all been given exhaustive film tests, some running as long as five reels, and in no case did any player have a voice that was faulty from a recording standpoint.

This fact will enable Universal to start immediately on the 1929 program, which provides for dialogue and synchronization in every feature production as well as in most of the short subjects. A silent print will be made of every feature, Laemmle said.

Recording of sound sequences for pictures already completed is now being carried out on both units of the new sound stage, with shifts working day and night. The two and one reel talkies are also being made, mostly at night.

"Broadway" is the first of Universal's all-talkies on the 1929 program. Following its completion, the new Broadway sound stage, the largest in the world, will be used in filming eight more 100 per cent talkies.

The first is "The Climax," from the stage play by Edward Locke, which Renaud Hoffman will direct. This will start early in January, and will use dialogue from the play. Jean Hersholt and Kathryn Crawford are cast in leading roles.

The pictures to be made in 1929 are:

"The King of Jazz," all-sound picture starring Paul Whiteman under direction of Wesley Ruggles. Paul Schofield is writing the story and L. Wolfe Gilbert and Marian Wayne will write the music. This will start in February.

"The Minstrel Man," to be directed by Harry Pollard with Eddie Leonard.

"A Bargain in the Kremlin," a story by Sir Philip Gibbs, with Joseph Schildkraut starring under direction of Edward Sloman.

"The Shannons of Broadway," James Gleason's play in which he and Mrs. Gleason will star under direction of Wesley Ruggles.

Others are "Barnum Was Right," starring Glenn Tryon; "The Great Microphone Murder," an all-talkie mystery written by Will Chappel; "The Drake Murder Case," to be directed by Edward Laemmle; "The Luxury Husband," from a story by Maysie Grieg; "Campus Kisses," starring Arthur Lake under Edward Luddy's direction; "The Girl Dodger," starring Arthur Lake; "No Place to Love," starring Mary Philbin; "The Braggart," starring Jean Hersholt under direction of Edward Sloman, from a story by Benjamin S. Kutler; "The Boy Wonder," starring Arthur Lake; "Flaming Daughters," from a story by Beatrice Van; "The Last Act," from a story by Joseph Swerling; "Crease Paint," by Svend Gade; "The Geezer," by Damon Runyon; "Why Girls Walk Home," from a story by Inez Gregg; "The World Tomorrow," by Leonard Fields; "You've Got to Fight," starring Reginald Denny; "Cne Rainy Night," "The Husband Hunt," "That Blonde," and "Dangerous Dimples," starring Laura La Plante; "Compromise," to be directed by William Wyler; "The Devil," starring Joseph Schildkraut; "Spring Showers," starring Mary Philbin; "Sutter's Gold," starring Jean Hersholt; "The Sin Ye Do"; "The Cohens and Kellys in Turkey"; "Come Across"; "The Wardrobe Woman"; and "The Pretty Sister of Jose."

Seven pictures are to be made in Europe in 1929. They include "The Five Frankfurters," "Folle Farine," "White Tiger," "Fallen Angels," "The House of Glass," "Diploma," and "Polish Blood."

Stories are now being prepared for Pat Rooney and Benny Rubin, who will each appear in a series of Movietone subjects. Joseph Cherniavsky, Universal musical director, is doing a series of orchestral sound shorts. Kurt Neuman is doing a series of one reelers using folk music of foreign countries.

There will be a fourth series of "The Collegians" to be made with sound in addition to other synchronized novelties, exclusive of serials and Westerns.

Grace Hough Ryan

Meet Mrs. Ryan, superintendent of the stenographic department, and believe us she has a mighty busy department. Machinery is always humming and thousands of words are flying on to pages via typewriter and mimeograph. From 10 to 20 girls are under Mrs. Ryan's supervision at all times and the volume of work her department turns out is surprising.

Many of our most popular and successful secretaries have progressed from the stenographic department and largely by the training and recommendation of Mrs. Ryan. A few of those are Buddie Daggett, Lillian Russell, Gertrude Taylor and Berylyn Stephens.

Mrs. Ryan says she is rather hard to work for because she insists upon maintaining a high standard of quality in the product of her department. Her girls must produce neat and perfect copy, ac-

cording to form and nearly always in double quick time. However, they are happy to help Mrs. Ryan get out rush orders because she understands girls, is considerate and knows their feelings, beliefs and inclinations. Girls who succeed in her department invariably make fine secretaries, for they have been trained under an expert.

Mrs. Ryan was born and raised in Minneapolis, coming west in 1912. She was formerly secretary to Albert W. Hale of the Kalem Studios, Santa Monica. She has been with Universal 12 years, four years of which was with the publicity department; she was also secretary to the story editor for some time. She says she is especially happy in her present position, its contacts and associations, even its responsibilities. The best known word in the department is "RUSH," a little word that sometimes spells a lot. Failure to turn out a certain script on time can easily tie up production and cost the com-

pany hundreds or thousands of dollars for hours that are lost.

Mrs. Ryan is a great lover of animals and an earnest and enthusiastic advocate of humane treatment; she is quick to help animals and much of her pleasure time has been spent in such activity. You can be sure the office cat, "Peabuts," is well cared for.

The use of gas as a deadly weapon at sea is no mere nightmare, in the opinion of both the British and American naval staffs.

Tom Reed to Confer With
Author at San Francisco

Tom Reed, who is preparing "The Three Godfathers" for the screen for Universal, has gone to San Francisco to confer with Peter B. Kyne, author of the story.

Reed, who is handling the continuity and the dialogue for the screen production, will consult with Kyne with especial reference to the dialogue.

"The Three Godfathers," which is one of Kyne's best known stories, is especially rich in humorous and dramatic qualities for the talking screen.

Credit Union Starting
Vacation Fund

A vacation without money usually turns out to be just a week or two of rest, and who wants to rest on their vacation?

Although you may have to spend your vacation in Griffith Park this summer, there is no reason why you can't move up to the mountain resorts next summer for a week or two.

Commencing August 1st the Credit Union is starting a vacation fund. You can deposit a certain amount every week and draw it out, including 5% interest, at any time between May 1st and September 30th, 1930.

Applications are being taken now by Mr. Deming, in the Personnel Department. Come in and talk it over with him.

## Great War Story
Purchased by 'U'

Universal will make into a screen play one of the most poignant and dramatic stories that have come out of the World War.

The story is "All Quiet on the Western Front," by Erich Maria Remarque, who joined the German army from the Rhineland in 1914. The book has caused a world sensation, nearly 2,000,000 copies already having been sold. The price

paid by Universal for the screen rights was not announced, but it is known that six different companies were bidding for it.

Remarque's story is a simple retell of the events and experiences that befall the average youth in modern war, irrespective of his country. The horrors to be endured, the psychological reactions, the effects of war service upon the veteran in the later times of peace, all are set down with the simplicity of a dairy.

The book has been generally acclaimed as the most powerful depiction of the effects of war upon the individual that the world conflict has produced.

Alec: "Why is Ernie like a fox terrier?"

The Boys: "Why?"

Alec: "He's so snappy!"

The literal meaning of the word Telepathy is "feeling at a distance!"

## News from the Alleys

Well, Boy, you have got to hand it to Al Sheppard when it comes to bowling. (No matter how he gets them). He undoubtedly is the most consistent bowler in our league, leading with a 172 for high average and 223 for high game

The Canvas teams are going to change their name to the AthLETICS and by the way they are stepping the move ought to be O.K.

With 10 games of the 15 played the league average is 155 and will raise a few more points before it is over.

Dell Forsythe and Morris Nelson still bowl once in a while. They were down last week.

Some one said Harry Burke has been practicing quite a bit lately. If that is true he is certainly proving it in the league games.

Bert Howell remarked: "If we could play the Canvas team every week my team would be far in the lead." (Now who believes that.)

The Pirates have the high team game and the team series cornered and to hear them tell it they intend to keep them. But who knows?

There has been additional prizes given to the winning team. These prizes will be announced later.
