After all, I should at least say ‘hello’ to the youngsters whose father I represent to so many film fans.” * Qualen adds that if Darryl F. Zanuck, production chief at the studio, does not send him to Callander when the babies’ third picture is made, he’s going to pay them a visit on his syn time. Scenes involving Qualen and Slim Summerville, who in both pictures plays the role of local constable, were made at the Hollywood studios.

Shaw Casts Aside Offer of Pictures

Fears Dialogue of Movie’s Scenarios, Writer Tells Producer.

| By United Press

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 8. — A fear that the dialogue of Hollywood scenarios would be substituted for his lines is the chief reason why George Bernard Shaw refuses to allow his dramas to be filmed, the Irish playwright declared in a letter made public ‘today. The letter was dadressed to Samuel Goldwyn, motion picture producer.

Mr. Goldwyn admitted he wrote {to Mr. Shaw in an attempt to

persuade the wit that his plays could be translated to the screen without being altered materially. Mr. Shaw replied that in his opinion the average scenario writer was “a bell boy.”

Mr. Shaw Not Inclined

“In his view life is a continual going up and downstairs and opening and shutting doors, and he has no more notion of telling a story than a blind puppy of composing a symphony.”

Mr. Shaw said he did not have 3

the time or inclination to turn his own plays into scenarios and objected to having “racy Californian” dialogue superimposed over his writing. None of Mr. Shaw’s plays has been made into pictures in this country, Mr. Goldwyn pointed out. Mr. Goldwyn refused to make more than excerpts from Mr. Shaw’s letter public, declaring the rest of it was “of personal interest.”
