Short Film Is Story of The Movies

70 Glamorous Stars Cast dn Play Dramatizing » -Cinema Industry.

‘By JAMES THRASHER The motion picture industry has done a pardonable about-face in regard to screen advertising. Movie executives ‘have come out violently and repeatedly against a cinema version of radios ~ plug? But now things are different, for the entire industry has made a picture advertising itself.

It is called “The World Is Ours,”

and you may see it for the week starting tomorrow at Loew's, and beginning Friday at the Apollo. The film is another example of the entire industry’s first collabo- : ration, the same collaboration that started the “Motion Pictures’ Greatest Year” campaign and the Movie Quiz. For “The World Is Ours,” nite studios have pooled their . glamorous resources in a super allstar production. And it’s only two reels long.

70 Stars in Picture

The advertisements say that there are 62 stars in the picture. The Times movie department’s statistical experts, however, insist there are an even 70. The round-number total was achieved by breaking the “Dead End” Kids, Ritz Brothers and Marx Brothers down into their component pasts, and subtracting (with exceeding regret) Mr. Charles McCarthy, singe Edgar Bergen already is listed. = at isn’t feasible to list all the _ stajring lineup here. But you are promised a glimpse of nearly everyong of importance, from Chaplin, ~~ Garbo, Gable, Harold Lloyd, Astaire : Rogers, Robert Taylor, Shear‘er,» Lombard and Shirley Temple, right down the line to those horseopera heroes, Roy Rogers and Smiley Biirnett. These luminaries, however, are litlle more than walkons. The drama’s real protagonists are—the “ayerage American family.” Yes sir, the Craigs of Muncie certainly started something.

JUST PALS

While Huntz. (Dead End) Hall recuperates from his appendicitis operation, his confederates keep sending him magazines like “Sound Mind and Healthy Body,” “The Beauties of Travel,” “Favorite Home Cooked Dishes,” and “Fun in Sports”—just to remind him how much fun hell have when he gets out of bed.

Proposed

U. S. Bureau of Fine Arts

NEW YORK, Dec. 14 (U. P.).—Dr. Walter Damrosch, musical conductor and composer, invited comment today on a plan for the establishment of a national Bureau of Fine Arts, the goal of which would be a wider dissemination of cultural benefits.

by Damrosch

Damrosch said he ‘was opposed to the Pepper-Coffee and Sirovich bills, which proposed a permanent Federal Bureau of Fine Arts, and said his agency Would be independent of the WPA. Dr. Damrosch publicly came out against the Pep-per-Coffee Bill, which would set up a Federal Arts Bureau. He was censured for his stand by the American Federation of Musicians local.

The conductor drew up his plan with the aid of N. Henry Josephs, an attorney, after seeking the advice of persons prominent in painting, sculpture, literature, the theater, music and other arts. In its completed form, he said, the plan probably will be introduced in Congress next year. Congress, he said, will be asked to appropriate funds for the bureau, the purpose of which would be “to further the development of art in

ate the cultural traditions of our country, through the education of the American people for a higher and fuller understanding and appreciation of the arts, with particular effort to be made to reach the greatest number of people and particularly those who are not able to receive the benefits now available In the larger cities.”
