VOICE from the Balcony by DAVID MARSHALL
(Fremont Power is on Vacation)
YOUR GENERAL INDIFFERENCE towards anything more strenuous than a nap these fiery days is as nothing compared to the apathy of exhibitors toward trade screenings of the new movies. The trade shows, brought about by the consent decree signed by | five major studios and the Government, have—in the words of | Variety—'been given the brush-off.” | Now, you know, the movie industry must exhibit its product to | the theater film buyers. Before the consent decree exhibitors bought | a whole season's product unseen in one batch. This is the third week for screenings in Indianapolis, one of 32 national distributing centers, and the exhibitors have been staying away in great numbers. At that,

Five years before she was born, her father made his movie debut by riding a horse off a 30-foot cliff. She's an expert rider now, but Paramount wouldn't let her do anything so reckless; the studio wants her for dramatic roles eventually.

Action was taken vesterday following a brief hearing at Ellis Island. Here the Polish actress is shown following her arrival from Lisbon on the liner Excalibur.

‘OLD INDIAN PAYS CAREY HIS $125
Harry Carey knows his Navajoes, in whose country he annually makes trips buying cattle and sheep for his ranch. Last year, while on his trip, Carey loaned an old Indian 8125 which the Indian needed to buy some fencing. Mrs. Carey insisted that he would never see his {money again. | But recently, as Carey started to leave hic ranch for Paramount Studio, where he is working in Paramount’s “Among the Living,” a young Navajo Indian appeared. He brought with him a trader's check for the amount, plus interest.

“They've been complaining for years about blind and block booking and now that they can see the product before buying, they won't do it.” A full picture of the operation of the consent decree screenings, however, won't be known until they've had a couple of months try-out. One thing is almost certain. It's going to be tougher for film salesmen to negotiate with an exhibitor after he's seen the film than under the old system where he had to buy blind.

How About Tutti-Frutti?
DURING THE filming of “Before the Fact,” Director Alfred Hitchcock hired his own dog for $1650 a day. Not that the Britisher needed the money. He just knows that his Sealyham will obey him.
