HINEN FLNS TOBE PRODCED Double Billings Blamed for Shortage of Pictures by Studios. By the Associated Press. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., July 6.—One of the heaviest production schedules on record is under way in the movie studios. The reason: A distinct and acute shortage of pictures. There aren't enough to go around. So—nine stu- dios will produce 449 pictures this season. Double billing, the practice of plac- ing two features on one program, has had much to do with exhausting the field. The situation has become so acute that “The Virginian," six years old, has been reissued. Another fea- ture, “Escapade,” was released only seven days after it was previewed. Several other pictures which left the cutting rooms only a few days ago will be on the screens soon. They in- clude “The Rave “Accent on Youth” and “Ginger. From January to June, last year. the studios produced 210 features. The output this year in the same period was 185. Here is how the studios are | lined up for pictures this season: Paramount, 65; Warner Bros, 60; Fox, 64; Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 50; Universal, 42; Republic, 56; Radio, 50; Columbia, 40; United Artists, 24. Among the pictures in these sched- ules are Will Rogers’ “Steamboat *Round the Bend,” still in the cutting room: Harold Lloyd's “The Milky Way,” “She,” the H. Rider Haggard story; “The Three Musketeers,” “The Last Day of Pompeii.” “The Crusades.” “A Midsummer Night's Dream.” “Romeo and Joliet,” starring Norma Bhearer, and “A Tale of Two Cities.” Some observers trace the shortage of pictures back to the time early this year when the industry was alarmed over the proposal of the State of California to tax movies drastically. Many admit the threat of increased taxation cramped production activity.

He appeared to think that the Kelloge pact, origi-| | nated and sponsored by this country, was still in favor in Washington. o o Of course, from the practical point of view, the administration could do nothing but tell Selassie that we are sorry about what is going to happen. but that we have nc means to prevent | the Italian aggression.

This, when we know | for certain that there is not even a remote chance of that arbitration com- mittee ever finding a solution. Long before it has submitted its “findings” | the Italian army will have entered | Abyssinian territory. To say that “the arbitral agency may be able to ar- rive at a decision satisfactory to both the governments immediately con- cerned” is just plain bunk. | Then, the statement that we would | be “loath to believe, in view of the | existence of the Kellogg pact,” that either the Italians or the Abyssinians | means as a method of dealing with this controversy” is another piece of diplomatic hypocrisy when this Gov- ernment knows full well that Italy has an army of about 150,000 men in Eritrea ready to cross the Ethiopian borders as soon as the rainy season comes to an end. Mussolini is not mincing his words and is saying to all who want to listen to him that a war | against Abyssinia is a foregone con- clusion. There is no question that the world | is changing. The blunt attitude which the American diplomacy would have taken some years ago in a case like the Ethiopian-Italian row, has been replaced by pussy-footing diplo- macy. * ok ox % Selassie has tried to use the Kellogg | pact as a publicity stunt. He knew that he would hit the front page in every newspaper in the United States by appealing directly to the American Government. He has succeeded in that. But whether his stunt will have the desired effect is another question. As long as there is no actual war between Italy and Abyssinia, the for- mer can purchase in this country all the war paraphernalia it needs. Ttaly still has some money and can buy for cash whatever this country can sell cheaper than the others. When the war breaks out, it is probable that President Roosevelt will declare an embargo on the export of war ma- terials to both belligerents. But by that time, Italy won't need any more from this country. * ok k% Abyssinia, on the other hand, is buying arms and ammunitions piece- meal. She has no credit and no liquid cash. Selassie has been trying des- perately to raise a small loan—not more than $2,000,000—in this country but has not been successful. ‘The bankers turned a deaf ear when they were approached by the Lion of Judah’s agents. They offered as col- lateral the Abyssinian custom re- ceipts. “And who can guarantee us that they will not be in Italian hands be- fore this year is over?” they were asked by the the hard-headed bankers.

He had intended a few months ago to appoint a special minister to the United States, but when his treasurer began figuring out how much rent the Abyssinia government will have to pay in Washington, how much the entertaining would cost and how much the upkeep of an automobile with a chauffeur would be, Selassie threw up his hands in despair and decided to | buy instead a couple of airplanes (pilots included). ik ek It appears practically certain now that Count de Chambrun will replace Andre de Laboulaye as French Am- bassador to the United States. Former Ambassador Claudel was re- placed just at the time when the American people began to appreciate him. De Laboulaye, who at first made no impression here at all, be- gins to find his ground.

July 6.—A man | and woman were being held in Clarke | County Jail at Berryville tonight for | questioning on complaint of Mrs. | Mamie Byrd Consolvo, wife of Charles H. Consolvo, Baltimore and V)rgmia; hotel proprietor, who told authorities she had been annoyed by the couple | loitering in the vicinity of her country | | home at Millwood since early this | | week. Mrs. Consolvo told officers she | feared they had kidnaping designs | against her. She appealed to the| | authorities here late today for pro- | tection. | Deputy Sheriff William Newcome and State Inspector R. E. Bayliss, who | hastened to Millwood, found the couple | apparently dozing in an automobile | | about 50 yards from the Consolvo home. They evaded direct questioning as to reason for their presence in the | neighborhood. The man, aged about 35, said he was employed in a Wash- 21, declined to give her name, but| said she was girl friend of the man. | Officers found a set of Florida license plates in the car. Mrs. Consolvo said license plates were changed almost | daily on the car. Searched by authori- ties in Berryville Jail, officers found a profile pencil sketch bearing a strik- |1ng resemblance to Mrs. Consolvo, a | | card on which her Maryland automo- | bile license number and make of car | were recorded. and also description of | | her colored chauffeur. | Authorities said they intended to | | fingerprint the couple for Depart- | | ment of Justice reference. Meanwhile, | Recently | they will be held for thorough inves- | financial responsibility of the people | tigation, officers said.

Firm in their belief thal “the play's the thing,” a group of philanthropist patrons of the theater will meet in New York within the next few weeks to take their first actual steps in formation of the American National Theater and Academy. Incorporation of the organization was authorized by an act of Congress signed Friday by President Roosevelt. Fundamentally, the objective of this new step-child of the Federal Government is educational, its in- tention being to form one or more companies of competent actors, send them on the road with worth-while plays and thus stimulate, it is hoped, an interest in the drama which has lagged so much during recent years. In more detall, the purpose of the organization is set forth in the fol- lowing clauses of the Wagner-Mc- Laughlin authorizing bill: (a) The presentation of theatrical productions of the highest type. (b) The stimulation of public in- terest in the drama as an art belong- ing both to the theater and to litera- ture and thereby to be enjoyed both on the stage and in the study. (c) The advancement of interest in the drama throughout the United States by furthering the production of the best plays, interpreted by the best actors at a minimum cost. (d) The further development of the study of drama of the present and past in universities, colleges, schools and elsewhere. (e) The sponsoring, encouraging and developing of the art and tech- nique of the theater through a school within the National Academy. No Subsidy Provided. No subsidy is provided for the or- ganization in its incorporating act and its proponents insist none will be asked. Initial costs of getting the project under way will be borne by patrons of the theater, some 50 of whom are incorporators. After its launching, however, it is hoped that the project will be self-supporting, the specifications being made in its in- corporation that it will be non-profit | making. | As a start toward the objectives of the founders, it was indicated last | night that the first action will be | organization meetings of the sponsors and a pledging of funds. Local com- mittees will be formed in cities | throughout the country, with central | management of the movement being | vested in a board of 25 members, | headquarters of which probably will be in New York. This group will un- dertake the selection of plays, produc- tion and bookings. In this connection, Frank Gillmore, president of Actors’ Equity Associ- ation, was quoted last night as saying the board may “revive some of lhe] popular shows of the past, produce | some of the current Broadway hits or choose new plays.” With the blessing of a Federal char- ter, it is the hope of sponsors of the movement that little difficulty will be | experienced in gaining the support of | local groups. No theaters are to be | built by the academy group, the pro- ductions to be staged in quarters al- ready existing in plentiful numbers throughout the country. The mechanics were thus explained by J. Howard Reber, author of the charter, before a subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee: “We are not having a theater guild. We have an entirely different con- ception. The first step * * * is to get a nucleus of a company of the very finest actors and produce one | of the very best plays obtainable in | as fine a form of production as con- ceivably can be gotten together * * *| and to send that production to Wash- | ington, to Chicago, to Pittsburgh and | elsewhere, and to do that under the that are putting up the money to | carry on this project. Today the| theater is almost nil in almost every town under 500,000 inhabitants in the United States * * * where a| city is not sufficiently large in our judgment to support the production we will send it there and we will ask | that city to have a committee spon- sor this production and guarantee cost to a certain extent. Attendance will be at popular prices.” Climaxes Campaign. Approval of this movement for a national theater climaxed a cam- paign started by some of its sponsors more than two years ago. At that time they conferred with President and Mrs. Roosevelt at Hyde Park. A list of proposed incorporators, 1p- cluding Mrs. Larz Anderson, Miss Mabel Boardman, Mrs. Charles Ham- | lin and William Green, all of Wash- ington, was drawn up. The next step was to interest Sen- ator Wagner, New York Democrat, in the proposition, and under his lead- ership the incorporation was ap- proved by the Senate. In the House Representative McLaughlin, Demo- crat, of Nebraska, performed a simi- lar service after holding hearings on the proposal. Among those testifying at that time were Frederic A. Delano, chairman of the National Park and Planning Commission; Mrs. Hamlin of this city, Miss Frances Starr, actress, represent- ing Equity, and James M. Beck. All favored the movement. After consideration of their testi- mony, the committee reported in favor of the bill, which was passed without opposition. An excerpt of the House report follows: “The recogntion of the national theater by the Congress follows the precedent set by many of the Euro- pean countries, which have taken sim- ilar action. “The passage of the bill consti- tutes an official governmental recog- nition of the enormous benefits and values flowing from the development of the finest in art and literature, in- cluding the theater.” Turn your old trinkets, jewelry and watches into MONEY at— A.KXahn Jne.

By the Associated Press. MOSCOW. July 6.—independent Mongoila today formally accused the Japanese Army, already virtually mas. ter of North China, of plotting to seize Mongolian territory. A communique issued at Ulan Bator, Mongolian capital, and published in the official Soviet press, said Man- chuquan and Japanese forces had delivered an ultimatum demanding the right to maintain military observers in Mongolian territory. It made this charge: “Recent events prove that Man- chukuo, with the Japanese Army’s support, wishes to avoid peaceful set- tlement of border incidents and pre- pare the way for further occupation of our territory.” Mongolia, with its Soviet type of government, is closely related politi- cally with the Union of Socialist Soviet Russia. Its borders march with Siberia’s for many miles. Manchukuo lies to its east. North China, into which the Japanese Army has pene- trated deeply during recent months, Is southeast. The Japanese demands followed several Mongol-Manchukuan border incidents which were termed pro- vocative in nature. They were pre- sented even as Russia’s diplomatic representative at Tokio was busy seek- ing. assurances against repetition of similar incidents, including alleged ‘avasion of Soviet territory, along the Siberia-Manchukuo frontier.
