HOLLYWOOD, June 27 (NAN.A).— fhere is always a plagiarism sult run- hing in a colony which turns out 500 picture plays a year, Harold Lloyd and his executives are at present faced with a million-dollar plagiarism suit being brought against the famous comedian by Mrs. Sadie Witwer, widow of the author, H. C. ‘Witwer. Mrs. Witwer claims the Lloyd film, “The Freshman,” which Harold Lloy made some time ago, was based upon story, “The Emancipation of Rodn written by her husband several years 8g0. Sam Taylor, village director, was the most important witness Wednesday. He tld of the preparation of the seript for /The Freshman” which, he says, hle understood was done by Lloyd em- ployes. Studio staffs who deal only with Hollywood ‘“originals” often get into this sort of trouble. Charles Chaplin works with “original” stories. They are usually credited to Chaplin himself, although a goodly line-up of film con- structors is to be found in the vicimity before shooting begins. Douglas Fairbanks is another whose | stories have been “originals,” Doug him- self authoring many of the tales, ac- cording to studio publicity. Again, there is always a capable writing staff to be found thereabouts. Plagiarism suits, which can be settled for reasonable sums of money, do not get into court. During the past year &an author who had been employed on & local lot sued the cnmcgdny for using work which it had reje during the time of his employment, but which it put into use when he had gone. ‘The terms of his contract provided so much per week, but all ideas, stories, titles for pictures, and so on, accepted by the company were to be paid for in addition to his salary, which was merely & retainer to insure his remaining in Hollywood and giving & certain part of his time and advice to the studio.

Which is one way of killing off & suit. The smart thing nowadays is to finish off the evening of gayety with a mid- | night visit to a Tom Thumb golf course. | These miniature greens are becoming | plague spots in the village. Parking |stations are being embellished with such | decorations as are deemed necessary to the Tom Thumb course. Arc lights and flood lights are installed, and the gay and ginny are to found laughing shrilly and putting at a great rate from midnight on. Because we are in a working com- munity—and don't you forget it!—the midnight putting is topped off by gen- erous draughts of warm milk with a dash of salt added. | ‘This straightens out the nerves and ile?.s the stomach out of the fluttery | state. It's & funny town, at that. Local dairies sell and deliver skimmed milk, Fed to pigs in other communities and |not purchasable as a general rule, it has ome such a vital part of the | Hollywood beauty and reduction regi- men that dairies are meeting the de- mand. | But the milkman is a cynic. “Say, lady,” he said one morning, “just what is this skim-milk gag, any- way? I'm kept busy runnin’ into places with bottles of trash that we useta give the pigs where I come from.” I explained that skimmed milk re- duces fat figures, makes for beautiful hair and good teeth and builds firm tissues—very important things for gela- tin folk. “Well, T hope it does somethin’ fer their brains. They certainly need it!” (Copyright. 1930, by North American News- paper Alliance.) Interior of Lung Filmed.
