The piillion dollar contract calls for four super-productions to be made independently by Holubar at the Metro studios and distributed through the latter’s releasing organization. He will have his own producing organization, as he did when distributing through Associated First National, and he has already started assembling his aides to work with him under his new affiliation. Actual production on the Metro lot will start within the next thirty days. The final cutting and editing of “Slander the Woman,” starring Dorothy Phillips, completed his contract with First National, for which he made two other features, “Man, Woman and Marriage,” and “Hurricane’s Gal.” He was also chosen by Goldwyn to make “Broken Chains” with an all-star cast. He began his directorial career at Universal, having been an actor before accepting the megaphone. Among his better known pictures for Universal were “The Heart of Humanity,” “The Right to Happiness” and ‘Once to Every Woman.” Mr. Holubar is the husband of Dorothy Phillips, who has starred in many of his productions and the two are pointed to in the Hollywood film colony as one of the ideally happy marriages in the cinema world. Miss Phillips, it is announced, will not appear in any of the HolubarMetro productions, but is expected to sign a starring contract with another organization at the head of her own company.
