I—T]l(-‘ mn[ tion picture industry is reversing the adage and hitching the star to the wagon. | It isn’t that the advice is m); sound; rather that vehicles ave| improving and not all stars pos- sess all the qualities every hitching. In other words Adolph Zukm‘.| president of the Paramount Fa. mous Phyerss‘lfiky Corporauon,, tells ‘The As: ted ! Press that| stars are being fitted to the| story rather than the story to the star as one phase of a de-! cided movement toward reduction of waste, improvement of earn- ings and stabilization of the ia-! dustry. | There is no disposition to penal- ize ability by reducing salaries of stars and executives, except where adequate screen results are not forthcoming, Mr. Zukor said, ex- plaining that the greatest savings are looked for in increased of- ficiency and -preparedness of pro duction. | needed for “Talking Movies” “Talking movies” have beer taken quite seriously, althougl progress so far appears to be m the direction of musical accom paniment and introducing effects, leaving the matter of giving voice to the actors to those oecasions when words would enhance the drama. Incidentally Mr. Zukor intimates that ' Paramount prob- ably will make an interesting an- nouncement '~ “this connection in the near futgre. But about this the industry’s ini structure, “In an industry’ which grew <o rapidly and reached, within the space of a few years, such a co mndlng poamon‘jn public fav- or,” Mr. Zukor said, “naturally business practices ,arose which hnve to be discarded when the| jization era arrives. “‘I'Ms is the meaning of. the de- termined ‘and ~gueeessful efforts to curtail costs in, the interest of better pictures atid better service to the puble.
