HOLLYWOOD. (Exclusive) —
The film producers are constant
ly in a dither as to what will
please the cinema-going public.
For instance, at the present time,
they are witnessing a period of
stories with silly plots and noth
ing stgble to them.
As examples we might mention
"Sing Baby Sign”, “Wake Up and
Live” “Waikiki Wedding” “On
The Avenue” and more recently
the Marx Brothers’ latest opus
"A Day at the Races”, which has
broken ail attendance in theatres
it has played thus far. The pub
lic wants this sort of slap-stick
> comedy in preference to anything
else. These pictures are monev
maikers. While a good show like
“Captains Courageous” which
should be placed at the top of
k. the best ten of the year isn't ev
en getting its share of the theatre
patronage.
Now the trend is to find these
silly slap-stick stories and rush
them through production to meet
the demands of audiences, be
cause no one knows this trend
may end tomorrow or next week.
The Week in Review
From inside circles, your truly
hears that Marion Davies is plan
ning to retire from the screen af
ter ’wo more pictures—Tne late
Jean Bartow’s stand-in Mary Dees
for the past two years, has been
chosen to take over Miss Har
low’s role in “Saratoga". Miss
Dees has been dancing in the
Buddy Rogers musical "This Way
Please”. Although your corres
pondent can’t quite see Miss
Dees for that role, the picture
ca>n’t help but make money.
Studio Chatter
The most expensive kiss in his
tery has been filmed. It cost Sam
uel Goldwyn $8,000 for John Hall
to kiss Dorothy Lamour in “Hur
ricane” because it takes place un
der water and in order to film it,
a glass tank 20 feet square and
ten feet deep had to be built.—
The latest word about “Gone With
the Wind” is that it will not go
before the cameras for seven
months, however Walter Con
nolly hgs been selected for a feat
ured part. You Gable fans may
see Clarke in the role of Brett
Butler as MGM will loan him if
SeLznick will release the vehicle
through their studio and he has
the privilege of doing as he de

Old Age Idea

| ed, but beneficiaries soon find out,
when the members die, that the
exceptions in the fine print whol
ly nullify any liability of the so
city.
Whom They Select
The promoters accept persons
indiscriminately up to the age of
eighty-five years, yet they claim
the strength of the society lies
in the membership because it is
“so carefully selected.” They
stress the point that no medical
examination is required, and es
pecially appeal to “those persons
, who, because of advanced age or
'physical infirmities, can not ob
1 tain any form of life protection.”
Literature of these concerns con
tains many false representations,
i including statements of fraternal
and benevolent features: and the
claim that they are operated on
the same basis and plans of the
old insurance societies which have
been successfully operated in Eur
ope since the year 11(58.
The ins and uuts
People of sixty to eighty-five
years of age, many of whom are
: suffering from some chronic ail
ment unknown to them, are led
| to believe that, for a monthly
contribution of one dollar to one
dollar and a half, their beneficiar
ies will receive sums ranging
from one thousand to five thou

! Broadcast of 1938"—George Burns
l and Gracie Allen willl share hon
ors with Fred Astaire in his fir
st solo stgrring vehicle “A Dam
sel in Distress”. Rumors have
l be en circulating to the effect that
Ruby Keeler will dance with him
in it as the Astaire-Rogers team
has been thought ended, but RKO
has hired Irving Berlin to write
the music for the next Astaire
Rogers opus which ends all such
rumors.
sand dollars. Wr.en the member
dies, any payment under the pol
icy depends upon a “post mortem"
investigation. The promote s make
every effort to show he was suff
ering from some chronic disease
at the time the certificate was
issued, and they usually find
some pretense on which to deny
the claim. Consequently, no pay
ment is made to the beneficiary,
or the claim is settled for a nom
inal sum of from one dollar to
fifteen dollars.
Huge Amounts Filched
It is difficult to estimate the to
tal amount fillched from the pub
lie each year by 4has class of pro
motors, but the National A,d So
ciety alone cost the public up
wards of two million dollars ir
four years, of which only twenty
percent was paid back in the
form of benefits, the rest of tha1
huge sum, having been used foi
| salaries and expenses. It is, there
for ■ obvious that the onto -nt :ak
err from tire public by the hun
dred other s niilar societies new m
operation, reaches a staggering
sum annually.
Their Procedure
The usual procedure of the op
erators of these schemes is to in
sert advertisements in various
newspapers for agents who oper
ate wherever they desire and
many complaints have been re
ceived from persons in rural com
munities and small towns as well
as in large cities. The Associations
also secure memberships by mail
as well as personal solicitation by
agents and many persons are sol
icited for membership through
persons already members by lit
erature sent through the mails.

stoves—burn either hard or soft
