Politicians Seeking to ) Accuses Politicians | ONCE UNDERWORLD | EXPERT SAYS FNS | RAVEAL REALFACTS| Courtenay Terrett, Former Gotham Newspaper Man, Recognized as Authority SUBSTITUTES ARE SOUGHT Producers Talk Much of Cut- ting Out Crime Pictures to Appease Officials Hollywood, May 22.—Politics, not | public disfavor, will be the main fac- tor in driving out the general run of gangster motion pictures. This is the opinion of Courtenay Terrett, former New York newspaper | man, who now is recognized by Holly- wood as its foremost authority on crime. As a star writer for the New York World and New York Telegram, Ter- rett gained an intimate knowledge of Manhattan's underworld—a knowl- edge that he now is putting into use in writing a series of underworld stories for motion pictures. * * * “There is a great deal of talk about eliminating the production of gang films—but so far it is mostly talk,” | ‘Terrett declares. “Producers will tell | you that the public is tiring of under- world films but at the same time they | are continuing to make them. The} real truth of the situation is that gangster pictures still are making money but politicians are bringing considerable pressure on studios to have them eliminated due largely to| the iact that a good many of these pictures disclose many true facts re- | garding crookedness within city ad-| ministrations. | “Thot puts producers right on the spot, so to speak. So they are doing abort the only thing they can do now. They do a lot of talking about the passing of underworld films to ap-/ pease city officials and at the same time continue to grind out such pic- tures in order to get the money the public still is willing to pay for them. “The general run of gangster pic- tures will die out, however. And I don't believe that time is far off. ‘They have been turned out recently | like so many sausages with little re-| gard for quality, Naturally, they! can't exist under such conditions. But the underworld will continue to fur- nish material for so-called specials. gangster productions.

But a mystery show must be seen right from the start in order to be enjoyed. If a person drops in| about the middle of the picture he) sees how it comes out and doesn't care a great deal about seeing the| first of it. Yet he doesn’t under-| stand why certain things happen and | therefore does not thoroughly enjoy | the picture. News of Interest in N. D.
