The Grand Jury report bristled Hollywood Sights And Sounds 8y Robbia Coons This will be good news—and in HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Oct. 21. bad—for the parents of child prodigies who ought to be pictures: There's a producer who is turning over his entire studio to the production of “kid pictures,” and nothing but. “A little child shall feed them,” said Sol Lesser today, look- ing around the lot where his staff of workers was making ready for ancther Tommy Kelly starrer called “Wings of Tomorrow.” He meant, however, several little children—but not too many, and therein lies the bad news. Because he says: “The market for child stars has reached the saturation point in Hollywood today. There are enough. A child would have to be really different to get somewhere in pictures today against the competition already here. And I mean different. “Every day we get letters from parents who claim that their own child is a second Shirley Temple, better than Jane Withers, a finer singer than Bobby Breen, tougher than Mickey Rooney, and so on. None of that interests us.” And what would interest him? Well, a letter like this might —just possibly—get an answer: “Dear Mr. Lesser, In our house there is a brat. He is & moral backslider, a thief, disobedient, impudent, and I'm sure he’'ll come to no good. For all that, he has a personality that makes us love him, regardless. He will probably wind up in the electric chair, but we've been thinking he might as well earn a few shekels for our old age before he reaches the hot seat. If you want to take the risk, and give him a test, you're welcome. But understand, it's YOUR risk, and if he comes to see you be sure everything of value in your studio is nailed down.” Well, Lesser isn’'t looking for embryo gangsters, but you'll get WHY NOT ENJOY A REALLY DELICIOUS SUNDAY DINNER AT THE NEWER—FINER PERCY’S the idea. He doesn't want carbon copies of kids alerady on the screen. Lesser’'s been making pictures since that day, as a San Fran- cisco film distributor, he was invited to make a commercial reel for a drugstore chain. He made it, and probably should be hanged, as the perpetrator of that current school of salesmanship which teaches salesmen not to let a customer get away until he’s bought ten other articles in addition to the pack of cigarettes he really wanted. Anyway, that reel convinced him he was a pro- ducer, and he followed it up with a spot-news feature on the fall of the Barbary Coast and another starring Annette Kellerman, called “What Women Love.” Jackie Cooper in “Peck’s Bad Boy” was one of his biggest hits and through the years the child stars consistently scored for Lesser. 2 : That's why today he is coricentrating on them exclusively. From now on, he will exploit Tommy Kelly, Bobby Breen, Ann Gillis and the little skater Irene Dare—in pictures with appeal for adults as well as children. “You can't succeed with a picture that doesn't interest adults, no matter how many children you use,” he said today. And Lesser is one of the two producers in Hollywood who HAS to succeed. The other is Samuel Goldwyn. 'i‘hose two are the only ones who gamble their own money on their pictures! individuals to whom its administra- | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, PUST S First Show Starts at 7 P.

Kyne's fic- tional character, first stamped through the pages of a salty sea yarn, but the old skipper has re- | tained his popularity year after year luntil now he is rated one of the i most beloved - heroes of fiction. “The Affairs of Cappy Ricks." Republic photoplay now showing at the Capitol Theatre, presents him at his best, the lovable, belligerent |old sea dog who is determined to keep his navigation company run- ning “ship-shape” in spite of the new fangled notions of the men now in active control. Kyne based his original Cappy Ricks story on fhe career of Captain Robert Dollar, west coast shipping magnate who owned and operated {the famous round-the-world line still bearing his name. The story had such a favorable reception that |editors clamored for more, and for years Kyne supplied sea tales to such magazines as the “Saturday Evening Pos “Cosmopolitan” and | others. Several Cappy Ricks novels put in their appearance also, and | were received by the public with | sensational enthusiasm. { In the current film production, | cappy Ricks stages a week-end | eruise to try to bring his family to ltheir senses. His son-in-law wants | to streamline the navigation busi- ‘ness to a dangerous degree, and his | daughter is intent on marrying ¢he ! wrong man. Nothing can bring them to time, Cappy Ricks reasons, so | much as a good, old-fashioned ship- {wreck where modern, streamlined | “contraptions” show themselves up | by their utter uselessness. The shipwreck ‘backfires on Cappy, and for a while things look dark, but with the aid of his crack | | star salesman, Bill Peck, everything | works out splendidly.
