HOLLYWOOD, Calif., April 2—FPree- ance lists in the village are being aug- mented each day. Ruth Taylor is one of the players entering the ranks of movieites who have the whole field to romp in, but sometimes nothing to romp about. Being entirely free and inde- pendent has its drawbacks, as many in movies can assure you. John Monk Saunders is free-lancing among authors. But writing people have a better time of it. Sometimes being in one studio and routined in the type of work that studio decides a per- son does best is fatal to the versatility of the writer. This has been found true often for players also. f Aileen Pringle has joined the ranks of the free-lancing ladies. When I think of Pringle, with her exquisite skin coloring and the rich, lovely shade of her hair; when I consider the whim- sicality of her volce tones at times and the cl and cultured inflection at all times, T wonder why the legiti- mate has not claimed her long ago. Perhaps as the next year unfolds some interesting interchange between this village and Broadway will take place. An interesting reunion Hollywood makes possible is that between Olive Brook and Sir Basil Dean within the next few weeks. It goes back to a friendship made during the war days, when Brook, invalided home from the front, acted in the war-time theaters of Dean. It was strenuous work, with a new show each week and two per- formances every night. They will meet once more on the same lot in Movie- land. But reunions are the usual thing here. Foreign players who froze and starved and struggled together in the ments and on the small salaries ropean surroundings wave nonchalantly to each other from luxurious cars. In the old days they associated such transportation with bankers, American You can be sure of requests for a second cup when you serve this delicious millionaires .and war profiteers. In Movieland they take them for granted: adapt themselves to the Hollywooden idea easily but not ungraciously. Seldom do foreign players overshoot the mark. Rarely do they go broke. As a rule their talent is good enough to command sizeable salaries, and they keep the instincts of their origin suffi- ciently to invest cannily and put by something for a day of retirement. The first all-Negro picture reaches the screen with an apologetic pream- ble which is scarcely timely. The Negro theme has been popular in East- ern theaters for some time. Short- story subjects have a definite market | pop gazines catering to large subscriptions. The Negro novel has been a decided addition to literature of late years. So the Negro picture is a natural outgrowth of the above-men- tioned things. An apology for the thinness of the story might be more in order. Pro- ducers are being entertained them- selves by the idea of sound. They can't bear to shoot a scene without backgrounding it by a quartet in the distance. This dangerous practice un- doubtedly will weaken sound pictures, lessening the realism of the drama and contributing _artificiality to a medium paramount in its artificlal quality at the outset. This first all-Negro g{cmr:, despite its beautiful photography and excel- lent photographic composition, estab- lished during the first 25 minutes only these thin t there were Negroes in the world, that they could sing, and that one of them was very lazy. We've got to do better than this, even in catering to the intelligentsia. Speaking of the ‘last-named, an 8- year-old child pointed to & man on stilts who was advertising a new movie with the loudly-put question: “Mamma, is that an intelligentsia?
