MOMENTOUS ERRORS. M,fi/-"\,\/\\_f—\'/\« NIV e et e N S e S R e T e R S 0 1910 Tha & P Grent Brais Righis Roservas MOVIES AND HOLLYWOOD, April 5 (NANA)—| Lucile Webster Gleason will be Holly- wood's first woman producer. | It's an achievement to be first any- | thing in this village, but to break down | the barriers which have kept women on the acting side of motion picture pro- | duction pretty thoroughly all _these| years is a_triumph. And only Lucile | Webster Gleason could do it. | Today a suite of offices is being made ready at Columbla Studios for this clever woman, who has made a mile- stone in the story of Hollywood, Her activities will begin almost immediately. She brings to motion picture making a rich and varied career, in which her several talents have bceen used and | crowned with success. | Actress, she played in stock as a girl, | filling in all types of roles from aged | women to character parts, as the exi- ncies of a small company demanded; | roadway success in the play which her husband wrote; a furore in Lon-| don, where the smartest set of Great Brifain lionized the Gleasons during | their long run there: co-author with her husband in “The Shannons of Broadway,” and author of a newspaper | play which every producer in the village would give his eyes for at the present time. Making Luc'le Webster Gleason a pro- ducer isn't a blind move. _Added to these things. and for the benefit of those who believe a cerecr interferes with home life, may I say she has made the best, work of rearing a son of any woman I have contacted in a lifetime. And her home is one of the Beverly Hills estates really worthy of tke word “home” | Three women have held executive po- sitions in the colony's history previous to this They were directors, and only one of them survives. Lois Weber, Dor- othy Arzner and Elizabeth Pickett have been the only three of their sex to break into directorial ranks. The male element feels about women ; directors much as musicians feel about Woman orchestra conductors. Despite | MOVIE PEOPLE THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Dorothy Arzner, once a cutter, forged into directorial ranks, and has held her own. Her latest and most successful effort perhaps is the directing of Ruth Chatterton in “Sarah and Son.” Ruth Chatterton told meGher sureness of perception and a certain finesse and instinctive dramatic reaction made her a pleasure to work with. This is no idle compliment, coming as it does from | an actress who has worked with the best directors in theatrical history. Louis Bromfield and his wife lunched at the Embassy Club Thursday, but few of the colony were the wiser. The tall, nervous chap, with a slightly British inflection in his charming. jerky voice, is unostentatious in the extreme. He is an ace of American novelists. If he can bring to celluloid the same fineness of characterization which has marked his books, the gelatin product is bound to go forward. At a nearby table Elsie Ferguson, holding court at Quida Bergere Rath- bone’s luncheon. Elsie Ferguson is an admirable exemplar of the new mode— feminine in the extreme, the long, trail- ing lines of today accentuate her slen- der charm. But this doesn't seem to be a camera | face. However, it probably will be when | the beauty M. D.'s of the village get through with it. That is one truth soon Jearned by stars of the legitimate who face the old davvil camera and dis- cover she has nothing in common with the kindness of footlights and the| camoufiage of grease paint. Then there’s the blond from a Broad- way show who was asked ta describe me one: “Sure, I seen her onct! big of a girl!” (Copyright, 1930.)
