HOLLYWOOD, March 25 (N.A.N.A.).) basing my prophecy on what Ina Claire ~What are we going to do for leading | herself told me one day not long since ladies? Some of the new experjments are not working so well, and so many of the old stars are passing out of the picture that the outlook is ominous. At the First National feminine talent has dwindled down to Alice White as sole star of a lot where once Colleen Moore and Corinne Griffith were names of might. When these heads fell, Alice White’s pictures were broadcast| throughout the country as the great attraction of 1930 at this lot. She’s been on the Iot all the while, but only for the jazz angl little-cutey-with- Ina Claire is out with Pathe, but fan't bothered. One of her greatest dis- tments in motion picture work is fact_that her first gelatin was not given a Broadway showing. Bastern critics hunted in vain for her talkie, and with characteristic per- sistence located it in an the-way theater. But Broadw: darling of these many years didn't get a chance to play on her own street. Ina Claire will not go back to the legitimate without giving talkies a thor- ough try. Before the dissolution of this centract she was talking things over with other companies. The reledases of her first picture didn't reach her public in the way they should, is her feeling. Not that she gives the first one much; she’s inclined to believe it wasn't good movie stuff. The village is already agog with ru- that this development will end Jack Gilbert mai I think I rriage. safely say it will not. And I am | at luncheon. Herbert Brenon, rife with tempera- ment, telephoned his producer in Holly- | wood and read him most of a play. | Brenon was in Copenhagen. But littie things of that sort do not bother those who make talkies. ‘They mulled the story over for 48 minutes while central counted up $934 on her rosy finger tips. The best part of it all is the fact that the gentlemen will now take the tale under considera- tion. There is no penny pinching in this village along such lines. But let some one buy 30 yards of cheesecloth more than the necessary amount, and then the efficiency staff steps in and m:z poor benighted individual steps out. One of our biggest and best studios brought a famous New York playwright out and put him to work on a story. It was weak, but he labored to build it up. He put in harder hours toiling on dia- logue for this than he ever had on his own.works. Seven days later an assistant to the assistant of the producer's assistant burst into his room. “Quit working on that story! Boss’ orders. We don't want it.” I cross my heart and hope to die if it isn't the gospel truth. So is the one about the nervous lady who didn’t know what to say when she was seated next Ben Turpin at lunch- eon.
