British quota situation, and a very unsolicitous way it is for the stars in question. The British quota law de mands that British Isles producers shov homemade products for at least 7}2 per cent of their running time. So E. B. Derr finds it expedient to send over ks stars, give them an English director, as the English lJaw demands, and then put an American director over him in the role of producer. Paul Stein, E. H. Griffith and Tay @Garnett will be the three directors to w a trip under the new arrangement. reign versions will be made over there with Spanish and German actors. Altogether, it is a unique departure, and | one which will produce some interesting results. ‘What with foreign actors drifting back | to Hollywood to make pictures in their ewn tongues and Americans ~oing abroad to cover the exigencies of quota elauses, we have become a complicated industry. And Hollywood village, once pre-eminent in the motion picture pro- duction field, will find its activities slowly dispersed throughout the world, dt e to these conditions. We still have the master recording systems, the perfect photographic re- sources and the ideal weather condi- tions for filming the outdoor scenes which are becoming more and more prevalent in talkie annals. The James Gleasoris celebrate their twenty-fourth wedding anniversary this month. They are a family singular in the motion picture indusiry, aithough| lsug! the stage is the medium through which thefl gained fame. house is more nearly the true American ideal of home than any here- sbouts, notwithstanding that the entire family is professional. Lucile Webster Gleason acts, directs and supervises all in turn and as the humor seizes her. James Gleason is one of the most sought-after character ac- Gleason pere is author as well as | facile brain. But get Jim Gleason at | the edge of his swimming pool with his | favorite dog and youll find the actor and the writer sunk in the man who |loves home and family. And Lucile | Webster can give you a recipe for hash | tiat will make your mouth water. Russell comes up to the family tradi- tion, in that his first thought is of home. When he began earning a Holly- wood salary he gave his father a swim- ming pool for & birthday present. Most villageites buy a foreign-made car with a snake horn with jeweled eyes. ‘The wits of this village would seem to be unwontedly quiet of late. Once Arthur Caesar’s epigrams were the stuff of which luncheons and dinners were made. His approximations of the movie town were repeated by all. His witti- sims went ricocheting like spent bullets until they exhausted themselves from sheer repetition. Then Arthur Caesar, the man who had gazed upon a Holiywood premiere pensively, only to remark, “I have never seen 30 many peasants in ermine!” the man who said the famous “From Poland to polo in two generations,” the father of a million other priceless re- marks, went demure. He has taken up polo for reduction purposes. He has settled into the groove of one studio where formerly he passed, a brilliant incendiary, from one to an- other. His quips have lost their edge, his wit become more kindly. But those of us who lived on Caesar hs bewail the loss of the most ebullient jester who ever lingered on the Gold Coast. ‘Wheeler and Woolsey have this one: “What became of the laundress who used to darn my socks?” “She’s married, but still darning.” “Socks?"” “Nope—her luck.” (Copyrisht, 1930, by North American News- paper Alliance.)
