MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., September 22 (N.ANA).—“Four pictures a year s the maximum amount a producer can make and comgleu with the new stand- fig‘:dw'l’fl‘:h talking pictures have estab- Sam _Goldwyn, Evelyn Laye, Ronald Colman and Eddie Cantor to the entertainment world this year as his part of the gelatin enter- tainment from Hollywood, made this | revolutionary statement to me. We had been discussing the new Col- man picture and the fact that a pro-| ducer called a halt on an expensive uction yesterday and lost perhaps 100,000 or so rather than see it limp | * on to an unsatisfactory conclusion and lose infinitely more in both money and m.e for the actor before the final| ‘were taken. “I stopped the Colman picture be- tause it wasn't going to be good,” said Goldwyn. “People seem to have sud- denly wakened to .he fact that this is 8 radical proceeding. It is nothing new for me. Since T made my first picture I have unhesitatingly stopped any pro- @uction which I clearly saw was not going to be as near to topnotch as I 8nd my staff could make it. “People shop for their movies these days. Time was when a movie meant either from cold streets, or a Roisy_household, or a cool place on a hot day, or a convenient place to kill two hours while waiting for an ap- pointment. “Today it is different. With talk, movies entered the field of entertain- who is presenting| ment. Audiences read the papers and choose the picture they are going to see from standpoint of star, story and the general standing of the producer. ! “That why it is important we ‘xhould keep the quality of our general | standing. Another thing. I consider it a shabby trick to handicap a very fine actor who is excellent box-office with a story or play which is so faulty t'at he can only make - success in spite of it. A man should be able to make a success through what you give him to work with. “Silence plays a large part in many of the talkies today. Whether audi- | ences realize it or not, ‘Raffles’ was ore- third silence. That is due to the type of story which had a great deal of action demanding absence of dialogue. | “But you cannot frame a picture and |say I will give such and such per cent silence, because the audience doesn't like to be dialogued to death. The pic- ture itself determines the amount of dialogue, not the producer. A story must work through to a logical conclu- sion in the way that best unravels it. “When we dealt with beauty and silence we could get away with any- thing. A lovely women who didn't speak had a hold on the audience that even the loveliest ones speaking find difficulty to get. “That is what we are trying to avoid |in talking pictures. We've got to keep |them to the highest possible standing, | becavse they are self-revealing. They |tip their own hands when they fail below par in quality.” (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- paper Alliance.) Daily Cross-Word Puzzle . Estimates which are below actual worth, .
