But there are a few movies being made which would indicate that we will probably have a far better output ghan we have ever had before. . When Sam Goldwyn scrapped Ronald Colman’s picture, to date Tuesday, with the intent of starting it all over again ‘with another director and another lead- ing lady, it really made a milestone in an industry to which we have all lightly referred as “canned” entertainment. Mary Pickford lightly tossing nearly half & million into the waste basket wasn't half way so significant. Mary 1s & beauty to begin with, and one hears that the caméra didn't prove that in| its work on the picture scrapped. It's| quite in the reckoning that a lovely lady would want her public to go on seeing her as lovely, Aside from that, there were a lot of other things in- volved. And Mary Pickford was, and is, in a position where one more bad pic- ture can ring down the curtain for her. Not so Ronald Colman. It's fairly safe to state that no matter what sort of picture Colman turns out the public will flock to see him. He's fatal so far as women are concerned, and most of | the men admit that he's one matinee idol who doesn't aggravate them. In fact, they'll agree to a strong, sneaking liking if pinned down tfo it. So the picture will be begun again, with all the things now m” wiped cut. It's a Lonsdale story, ter all, end that meant money to begin with. And it's been intended for the greatest Colman appearance of them all Almost on the same day young Carl Laemmle, jr., looked at & film called “The Cat Creeps” out at his lot and said “Throw it to the lions,” or words to that effect. 1t costs money to make speeches like this in Hollywood, and very few such speeches were made in the old days. | The morgues of the village have several | tin cans of discarded gelatin on them, ‘but all of them are material that is not MERRICK. bad; it is material that is impossible And every conceivable trick was tried with it to doctor it up and realize on it before it was shelved. Directors generally work on inspira- tion. The time clock comes in, of course, but only after the man behind the cameras has decided that all the fresh fury of work which the afternoon contains has been had from the players. Marian Nixon didn't think of this when her husband gave her a very smart watch which whirrs the hours. It may be set so as to indicate each hour any particular one desires. She was in a scene with Lowell Sher- man directing Tuesday when the play back indicated a loud whirring noise. The men in the sound booth couldn’t account for it. Lowell Sherman was at 8 loss to know whence it came. ’I;kllen Marian Nixon remarked, casu- ally: “Oh, T forgot! It's my alarm watch. You see, we had a 6 o'clock dinner en- gagement, and I thought it would be nice to know when it was 5, so I set it this morning.” Lowell Sherman has a sense of hu- mor, even if he has a monocle. “All right for tonight!” he shouted. ‘Theh to Marian: “You may leave that t.hll home tomorrow, if you don't mind.” And this bit of waggery, written in all seriousness, strikes me this morning as delicious: “Although Adolphe Menjou was born in Pittsburgh, he comes rightly by his air of foreign sophistication. ~Despite his American birth, he lived in such a foreign district that he didn't learn how to speak English until he was 7.” All of which is a revelation in the origin of sophistication.
