SUNDAY, JANUARY 6, 1924 In Hollyw \ HOLLYWOOD, Jan, 5.—({United Press.)—The new year dawns in Hollywood with assurance of pros- perity. Actors and actresses of high and low degree, imbued with the undying optimism of their pro- fession, are waiting the call for “action,” which studios generally promised would be sounded shortly. The close of every year finds a let-down in picture produc- tion, while the business office checks over its books, figures up the profics of the season just ended, and plans the program for the new year. ‘The biggest studio in Hollywood, in point of important players em- _e@loyea and annual payroll, at least, “{s the Famous Players-Lasky. It is sort of a thermometer by which production in other film cannerles is measured, and Hollywood ts turned to Lasky’s with expectant eye, awaiting the resumption of the camera's grind.

Director Sam Wood has with Lon Chaney, Conway Tearle and Dorothy Mackaill and the big studio, which normally sees from six to ten companies working at once, 1s practically deserted. But Lasky'’s is scheduled to re- open early this month, with a strenuous schedule ahead, and many big features to be turned out during the spring and summer. Other studios will follow suit, and production of pictures for the film lovers of the world will soon be in full swing again. see Carmel Myers isn't worrying about studio shutdowns. She signed a contract a few days ago with B. P. Schulberg to portray one of the featured parts in Robert W. Service's “Persian Paradise". She will start on the new characteriza- tion within a few days. eee A regulation size boxing ring has President M. C.

Tearle says that “unless the player has definite say as to what parts he or she should portray, there is little hope for the artist who be- comes a member of a stock com- pany and signs away his or her ser- vices for more than @ year.” eee ‘That shorter feature productions will come back into favor among producers as a result of the present condition of the producing industry is the contention of Maurice Tour- neur, well known director, follow- ing a recent survey of the produc- ing and exhibiting conditions. “The present slump in the producing ta- dustry has proved to film executives that it is a fallacy to make a so-called big production for the sale of achieving a physically big pic- ture," said Tourneur. “Many of the ‘big’ pictures released in re- cent months in nine, ten or more he Casper Sunday Cribune as effectively in six or seven reels, but better.” eee Lieutenant Winson Hitt, one of the nerviest airplane stunt ftyert in the business, is working in Rich- ard Walton Tully's production. of “Flowing Gold,” from Rex Beach's story. Hitt was badly shot up dur- ing the war while un ace in the British flying corps. At Plessis Bellville, in France, he was shot five times and sufferéd 27 flesh wounds. -He also carries a silver plate trepanned over a skull frac- ture as a memento of a fall from a plane during the war. ‘That Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks will leave some time in the spring for an extensive tour of Europe, has been announces. Twice in the last year the couple en- deavored to slip away from the studio, but on account of pressing engagements have been forced to cancel reservations, This time it is going to be a success, states Mary. Just to where they will go and how long they will stay is still an uncertainty. ‘While it is primarily a pleasure trip.” said Miss Pick- ford, “if we should chance to find a story over there, which suits us both, we will make a co-starring production, a thing that we have long wanted to do.” kl pet ee ‘The year 1923 was remarkable for its earthquakes in various parts of N. & 3, PERMIT OPPOSED HERE (Continued from Page One no grounds for asking a certificate of convenience and necessity from the Interstate Commerce commis- The primary object of the Business Men's association is to make the Haskell line in Wyoming place al of its cards on the table tn Sheridan, it is said, and to show just what its future prospects are.

Some of the colleges and uni- versities are taking the “referen- dum” not only in the college but in the town as well; as for instance, Mt, Holyoke, which will conduct the “referendum” throughout South Hadley. 100,000 ministers, through the ac- tion of the Federal council of the churches of Christ will receive from the Federal Council copies of the plan and a multipie ballot. The ministers will appoint a special committee of the congregation to see that each member has an oppor- tunity to vote and he will personally certify to the genuineness of the signatures. The Union of American Hebrew Congregations has sent in orders from every large city in the country. The National Catholic Welfare Coun- cl! has presented the “referendum” to every one of its bodies. constituent PAGE FIVE both their patrons and their employ- ees an opportunity to vote by hay- ing ballot boxes on the hotel desk or in the lobby. The president of the American Hotel Association es- pecially commended this matter to the hotels and thousands of them, including the most important met- ropolitan hotels, as well as the sma’l local inns, have eagerly re- sponded. Over 700 Ubraries have sent in orders for the “referendum” in some cases ordering as many as 100 thousand copies. As one li- brary in Cincinnati wrote, “15,000 people pass through here in a day, and we should be glad to see that each one of them. has an oppor- tunity to vote.” In a statement issued today at the American Peace Award office, the policy committee in charge of the award and of the “referendum” said: “The widespread desire for par- ticipation in the ‘referendum’ is in- controvertible evidence that the sub- ject of our relation to the reet of the world has become a matter of fundamental interest to the Ameri- can people.
