‘Wrong Here?

A Family Brawl.’

By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN - United Press Hollywood Correspondent:

HOLLYWOOD, June 17 ~The man who once took his life in his hands by calling the Misses Garbo, Hepburn and Crawford “box ates poison,” today accused the $5000-per-week producers of movies of being too lazy to make good pictures. Harry Brandt, president of the Independent ‘Theater Owners’ Association, New York, bought two pages of advertising space. in the Hollywood Reporter to charge that: “The present crop of big brains in Hollywood doesn’t know what the public wants.” ‘Big Shot’ Replies

One of the movies’ big brains retorted that the pictures were all right, but: that theater owners (like Mr. Brandt) were ruining their own business by giving a movie away free with every set of dishes. President :Ed Kuykendall of the Motion Picture Theater Operators’ Association in- convention here charged producer and exhibitor alike with being foolish for allowing movie critics to label pictures good, bad or indifferent before the public pays its way in to see them. And by that time there was more sniping among the movie chieftains than in a Gene Autry horse opera. “Why is everybody in Hollywood worrying, conferring and doing nothing?” demanded Mr. Brandt, who bought similar advertising space a couple of years ago to announce that Garbo, Hepburn, Crawford, Edward Arnold and others were poison at the box offices of the 100 New York theaters controlled by him. “Why are howling alleys, race fracks and baseball doing great business while the movies are doing their worst?” he continued. “Why do producers apathetically sit by while the number of admissions to theaters have dropped by the millions in recent years? Why don't they do something about eliminating the extravagant waste in Hollywood? Why don’t they start cutting down the fabulous salaries?”

~ Answers Own Questions

Mr. Brandt answered his own questions, thus: “Because the present crop of big brains in Hollywood doesn’t know what the public wants. Because the $3000 and $5000-a-week executives have got in a rut and are too firmly entrenched while actually they are being entombed. Because they are afraid of any change that might upset their pleasant routine. “But,” he added, “they had hetter start getting smart, because : the product is poor, because double features are giving audiences movie indigestion, because double-featur-ing two bad pictures on one bill" is an inexcusable boner, and because if good pictures were shown singly, z|they would last twice as long.” ‘One of the leading producers charged that the exhibitors themselves weré responsible for the two-for-one show. He said they seemed to have established a policy of unreeling two motion pictures with each set of dishes bought and demanded : “Do people pay for theater seats to see the picture, or to get chances on winning a gas range?” By that time, Mr. Kuykendall was telling his fellow exhibitors that Hollywood's greatest evil was the policy of allowing the press to see movies before the public does.

Mexico’s movie patrons are seeing one called “Neither Blood nor Sand.” The Latin production stars one of Mexico's greatest comedians, Cantinflas, and after two and a half weeks, the picture has topped = Charlie Chaplin's - “The Great Dictator” receipts by 1 per cent. In fact, “Neither Blood nor Sand” has shattered all records for either foreign or domestic pictures in Mexico, the runners-up being “Rebecca” and “Gone With the Wind.” Cantinflas, leader of Mexico's low comedy theater, is under a five-year contract to Posa Films, whose management was quick to deny that its film was a satire on the American “Blood and Sand.” As to. this, California patrons may soon find out, for the Mexican picture is scheduled to show in Los Angeles next month. Charles Farrell, last seen to advantage in “Seventh Heaven,” will return to the movies in the leading role of “The Deadly Game.” It'll be about the FBI's fight against foreign agents. . ..
