Mr. Ziegfeld held no grudge against tho beautiful little girls who were scampering1 about the stag-e on the Xew Amsterdam roof with their skirts rolled up and their stockings rolled down, snapping their gum and otherwise acting girlish, as he spoke of his determination. Tf'a fight Is Just another round In the match between tho Actors Equity association and the producing managers. ' Tho Equity "held a run" to Ziesrfeld's head In Chicago, Just one hour before the "Follies" were to open the season there, demanding that

Elizabeth Chatterton, whose right name, Zlegfeld says. Is Elizabeth I'oole, who had been gien two weeks' notice, of her discharge when tho show was In Detroit. Miss Chatterton Is one of the 11 Equity players In the Follies company of 75, and she held an Equity contract calling for a full season's work. The merits of the dispute are somewhat complicated, but anyway, Ziegfeld suspects that W. C. Fields, the comedian whom he discovered and developed, has been doubling In the capacity of walking delegate of tho TXiuity with the troupe. Mi?s ehatterton wouldn't stay fired; the union backed her up. Zlegfeld has

V A to reinstate her and the place where . be rnt the blow tili hiirtf.

"Well, there's Just this about It," he complained. "This labor union wants to tell me who's going to be who In my shows. And I'm not going to stani for lt. I find a beautiful girl I pay her an average of $2 5 a week more than the Equity minimum. which Is $35 a week. I buy her tetter costumes than any other producer In the world. The girls like thoe costumes, too. "I treat 'em as a father. There isn't a Ziegfeld girl who doesn't know right well that In trouble she can come to me, and, If ehe'a on level, get from a $5 bill to five thousand. "I'll produce my shows In London after 19:4." he threatened. "They drove Georgie Cohan to the other .''de, and I suppose I can make money there, too. In 1924 the Equity intends to try to put over the closed ?hop, and I Just won't work with them." The last two weeks have been the worst since Zlegfeld entered the theatrical business, nearly 20 years ago, he said. "Only five shows on Broadway made money thf? last two weeks,"

movies a he revealed them in answers through the Interpreter: German pictures provide entertain

ment In America because thev are t i

different from American pictures. American pictures provide entertainment In Germany becajso they are different from German pictures. Il Germany continues to make the same kind of pictures and America keep: on with its present kind, entertainment will be provided for everybody. (That sounds reasonable.) Chaplin 1 the greats comedian In the world. (Germany has Just found this out.) The remarkable thing about American pictures Is the attention paid to detail. In "Forbidden Fruit" the entire story was rummed up In the situation in which the heroine looked to one ?ide and Baw beautiful flowers and looking to the other side paw the worn coat and a floppy hat oi her husband. "Broken Bln"om" Impresd LuMtsch more than any other American film. (It was a tragedy.) The only film Lubltsch has seen since coming to America Is "A SailorMade Man," starring Harold Lloyd. He laughed at that until his sides ached. Although Germans consider music their national art they are far behind America In the matter of musical presentation of pictures. Lubltich believes that wme -day a picture will be made which will not even require a title or subtitle to tell Its story, that In tho next generation some person will evolve a method of picture presentation that will give him equal rank in history with Shakespeare, that the true medium of cinema expression Is something
