Movies Plan To Reissue

Old Pictures

Favorite Films of Past to Be Shown Again This Summer.

JAMES THRASHER summer American movie ces are going to reap the benefits of Hollywood's contemplation of the three R's—recession, re- | trenchment and reissue. And this | logical means toward combating tha | seasonable slump ought to be hailed with considerable delight. Maybe the studios haven't pro-| duced anything to rival the peren- | nial appeal of an “Uncle Tom's | Cabin” or an “East Lynne.” But | there is no reason why the public shouldn't welcome back some of the | ouistanding pictures

made since | the Brothers Warner gave us sound. For that matter, there are plenty of silent films infinitely better than | the mine-run B picture, though it’s probablv too much to hope for another look at them So the major companies have lined up 32 reissues for summer relea with probably more in the offing. Among items of particular interest will be Columbia's offering oi four Frank Capra productions: “Lady for a Day,” which starred May Robson, Jean Parker and Walter Connolly; “Broadway Bill.” with Myrna Lov and Warner Baxter: the famous “It Happened One Night” and the equally celebrated “Mr. Deeds Goes to Town.”

War

addition to several Westerns, ompany has dusted off an y Sponcer Tracy picture, "Man's ie,” for 1938-39 release. The currently prominent war news doubtless had its part in prompting Paramount to reissue the Gary Cooper-Helen Hayes “Fare- | weil to Arms,” and Universal its | “All Quiet on the Western Front.” | The latter studio also will give | us another look at two of its Joe] mous “horror” pictures: “Dracula” and “Frankenstein.” Oldest of the revivals will be “The | Champ,” which Wallace Beery and | Jackie Cooper made eight years ago. |

Its producers, Metro-Goldwyn-May-er, also plan to send out ‘Rose Marie,” “Mutiny on the Bounty” and “San Francisco,” with “David Cop- | perfield” and “Treasure Island”! other likely starters. Jessie Matthews’ first, leastknown and probably best picture was “Evergreen.” So Gaumont- | 3ritis sh plans to offer it again, along | with “The 39 Steps.” There has been a steady demand for “The 39 | Steps” during the past three years, week in and week out. So the stu- | dio has had to withdraw the Rob- | ert Donat film until early winter, | when it will have general release. | The chance to see Katharine Hepburn in one of her most effective parts will come again with the reshowing of “Little Women.”

Hear Public Appeals

Of course this isn't the first time that pictures have been reissued. , Usually before, however, it has been done rather quietly, with an attempt to soft-pedal the picture's age, or else on the basis of a new selling | angle that had little to do with the p:ctures actual value. The coming months will see Hollvwood's first concerted revival services. There has been a general anxiety about economic conditions | on the West Coast. There also have | been a lot of budget conferences, | cross-country trips and other im- | pediments of a business nature | which, naturally, have slowed up | production. The public. likewise, has had an | indirect hand in the matter. Ex-| hibitors have listened to audience | appeals for another glimpse of old | favorites. These requests have been passed on to the producers, and something has been done about it. | Now that the studios are in a receptive mood, this might be an auspicious time for a few other entertainment requisitions. Wouldn't it be fun, for instance, if we might | have “Cavalcade,” “The Informer,” | “The Guardsman,” “Dinner Eight,” “Anna Christie” or gles of Red Gap” again?
