(N.AN.A)—If you can assimilsf}: the idea of $176,000,000, then you !ffve a faint idea of what it is going § cost to make movies during the year 1931. Of course, it will really amount to far more than that, but this is the sum producers have planned for the original outlay. You can add a few random millions for surprises, retakes, remakes and mistakes. When you realize that 35 features made by Wamers last year cost $20,- 000.000, you can easily see that movie making is no small money venture. Out of these projected pictures one lot, the Fox, will make 20 or 30 silent t versions as a compliment to those per- sons still preferring their entertainment without sound. Many of these will reach the foreign market—and foreign- ers still like their movies to be movies in every sense. Despite the rumors which come to HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Decemll\' 27 me from New York that movie stars| are traveling around out here with armed guards because of the gang ter- ror prevalent, I have yet to see or hear of such a case. Some time back I told you in these eolumns of the Lloyd babies’ guard and of the guard put over the niece of Mary Pickford. It was due to unusual pub- licity given the Llloyds-by the adoption of a very beautiful child, destined to be the playmate of little Gloria. Undue publicity arouses cranks, and to avoid such things ‘the Lloyds in- stalled a protector for the youngsters, and Mary Pickford followed suit. Once in the long ago the children of Harry Carey were subject to an at- tempted abduction, and that started a lot of excitement. Conrad Nagel's chil- dren have always had a keen eye kept on them, but not by a guardian of the law. A chauffeur does the work to and from school, and excellent servants and » trustworthy housekeeper continue the good work at home. But during the pre-Christmas holi- day shopping I never saw more of the famous strolling along the boulevard gazing in shop windows. They didn't seem in fear of any reign of terror, and close investigation doesn’t reveal any one with a gunman at his back. I love excitement, and such-a state of affairs would have its meed of enter- tainment for us civilians, if not so en- tertaining for the famous. ‘When police uncovered the private list of Jake Caress’ abductor it included the names of three multi-millionaires, who have.
