HOLLYWOOD, July 22.— The chances are you won't believe it, but I spent an hour discussing movies at lunch with Samuel Goldwyn, and not once during that time did he say: “I'll tell you in two | words ‘Impossible,’ ”’ or “That would be sticking my head in a noose,” or “It rolls off my back like water off a duck.” No. For more than 60 minutes we | discussed the cinema, but nary a | single malapropism disrupted the | flow of the conversation. To be sure, there were moments when the | writer's fork hung perilously between mouth and plate, when he said to himself,“Well, here it comes.” But if you think that Goldwyn doesn’t | know what he’s talking about, if you | think that he unwittingly outrages

day, you've been fooled by the legends that have grown up around him and by stories that have been pinned on him. That Mr. Goldwyn has made certain classical remarks attributed to him no one will deny, least of all this writer. It is true, too, that his remarks have been a genuine contribution to American folklore, as Iris Barry pointed out in her review of “The Great Goldwyn.” But

It is the story of the discovery of oil in Pennsylvania and events that followed in the United States as direct result of the finding of the black gold.
