ATTENTION REBEKAHS OAYS EACH T6 CHECK EMm UP WORLD GROWS THIN UNDER MOV IE DIET; PRODUCER SEES MANKIND LOSING WEIGHT UNDER INFLUENCE By WADE WERNER (Motion Picture Feature Editor) HOLLYWOOD, Cal, The movies are making mankind thinner. £0 asserts David Wark Griffl who has been making movies long enough to have formed a few con- clusions as to what they are doing to the humap race. Millions of men and women are striving to become or to remain slender, Griffith observes, ba- cause motion pictures daily fill the eyes of the world with slender heroas and heroines. If slender he- roes and hero- ines were only a passing film fad, such wide- spread imitation of a screen ideal would have no lasting effect on the race. But Grif fith says they are not a pass ing film fad. “The roman tic screen he roes and heroines always will be thin,” said the veteran producer: director who years ago discovered such slender stars as Mary Pick ford and the Gish sisters, and who later brought to the screen the slim, vivacious Colleen Moore “The Venus de Milo type of fem- inine beauty never will come back into popularity. “When I' pickéd Mary Pickford, Lillian Gish and other slender girls in those formative days of the movies,” he explained, “I was not launching a fad nor merely expressing a personal preference for slender beauty. Beauty alon cannot make a woman successful on the screen; she must be alert, vivacious, sparkling, alive with energy. And it so happens that when a woman fis all those things she is practically always thin, She is not of the Lillian Russell or Anna Held type once popular on the stage. “l did net pick Colleen Moore because she was elender. I pick ed her because she was so alive with eagerness and nervous ener- gy, that she fairly quivered. That sort of temperament succeeds on the screen, and incidentally 't keeps one thin. In other words if the Venus de Milo came to me looking for screen opportunity I would refect her, pot because hei form is no longer fashionable but because it s the physical expres sion o6f a temperament keyed tco low for the screen. “The Same holds true of mascu- ling screen stars. Genius is thia. “So you seec there can be no question of returning to the bux- om ideals of former years. The screen’ must have heroes and heroines whose' personalities shide clearly upon the screen. Such players tehd imevitably to be thin and so, without any conscious ef- fort to met tfashions of physical culture, the movies must continuc to preach always the gospel of slenderness. “And / long @3 human beings are hum they ‘will continue to seek that romantic slenderness which they #ee on the screen.” Infringe'mem. of Patent Rights Claimed in Suit Sm‘ffl Movie Circles ; Feb. 7—A suit, the h@&’- a which Attorneys sald might hfilvp royalties and profits of -betwees $5,000,000 and $10,000,000, was filed in Federal court here by Famous Players Lasky Corporation against the Chester Bennett Laboratories, Inc., g infringement of patent rights.
