Miss Durbin No Longer Carries Whole Burden For Studio.

By JAMES THRASHER

Universal, or what has been known for the past couple of seasons as “the new” Universal, seems to be easing the burden of its sup“port from the slender, youthful .8houlders of Deanna Durbin. ~The studio passed out of the Laemmle family’s hands to its new owners without many assets in the way of star material. But along came young Miss Durbin, and to her voice was added some exceed‘ingly intelligent story writing and direction. The result was a drawing card that kept the new venture alive almost single-handed. . Things began looking up a bit more when the astute new management engaged the services of Danielle Darrieux, likeliest looking representative of the recent Euro‘pean consignment of glamour girls. Then Universal secured America’s most quoted quipster, Mr. Charles McCarthy, for “Letter of Introduction,” and the sun really came out from behind the clouds.

Hello, Mr. Fields

It’s a good thing that Charlie no longer is on the lot, however. For the new movie season is beginning with the presence there of his arch enemy, W. C. Fields. After his appearance in the latest “Big Broadcast,” an appearance { loudly lamente¢ by Fields fans, ‘the comedian has shifted studios. His new film, which will go into production Sept. 15, has a Fieldsian ‘ring to its title. It’s to be called “You Can't Cheat an Honest Man.”

mighty pleasant thing t0o, in much more comfortable surroundings than most of us enjoy in our own homes. The ‘movies’ have come a long way since I have been in the business and so have motion picture theatres. Sometimes I wonder why there isn’t more ‘Oh-ing’ and °‘Ah-ing’ at some of the remarkable things that I show on my screen but when I think it over, the answer is easy. “Today people take the motion picture for e gesttad —just as they take the telephone—and automobile. “Motion pictures have ceased to be a novelty to be marveled at and have become an entertainment — the greatest the world has ever known.”

space of a couple of minutes I have heard the same picture enthusiastically applauded and severely criticized, the same: stars praised and ‘panned.’ “I have come to the conclusion that while the picture that will please everybody, everywhere, will probably never be made, motion pictures, by and large, hit 2 mighty high average of pleasure-giving. Take any individual picture —and you will find that most peop!> who see it will get a lot of enjoyment out of it. ww ww : Next year, the “movies” will be fifty years old — fifty years since that October 6th in 1889 when Mr. Edison first revealed the miracle of pictures that moved. And every week, in the United States and Canada alone, over eighty-cight million people go to the “movies” — sharing romance, excitement, dreams, love and laughter and a kinship with the far corners of the earth. The motion picture producer is thoroughly conscious of his responsibility. He realizes the compact he holds with the hundreds of millions of people he
