W."? {Continued from Page 1) more years, as a result of the statement signed by him at the annual meeting in the Spring. In view of this, there are two distinct courses that may be pursued. The compan}' may feel that in view of the $2 500,000 budget to be set aside for the acquisition of new product, sufficient important product can be ol:)tained v/ithout any from Griffith. It may feel, on the other hand, that, with so much additional capital invested, it would be necessary for Griffith to see the proposition through. D. W. Griffith, Inc., still retains a 25 per cent interest in the corporation and has valuable equities in pictures already released and to be released.

TheWlZSird of Oz Shows as much genius in the selection of his supporting cast as in the selection of the story. Rarely has there been so happy a piece of casting as that of Bryant Washburn, acknowledged as one of the screen's finest lighti comedians, in the part of the debonair, gracious and charming Prince who falls in love with Dorothy and rescues her from the toils of the Wizard of the Emerald City of Oz. THE PRIVCE as played by BRYANT WASHBURN is another dehghtful character that makes "The Wizard of Oz" the screen's greatest fantastic comedy.
