There ain't much doing in the way of moving picture theaters at Ma deira. It's a small place that seems to get smaller every time it rains. Sort of shrinks. They get their ser vice (which is a nice word to call what they get) from England. A boat gets to Madeira every time a captain loses his way at sea and if they hap pen to have a picture on board, the manager of the theater at Madeira gives a show. Admission prices are as follows: People with pants on 1000 reis. People without pants on 500 reis Reserved seats with pants on 2000 reis. Reserved seats without pants on 1500 reis. Well I sees the price list in the lobby through the cob webs and gets to thinking that here's one exhibitor who knows how to charge high admission prices, but when I finds out that it takes a couple hats full of reis to make a dime, I ain't so stuck on him. The kids are all naked here and the principal business is selling monkeys and parrots and making suckers out of tourists. Cook's tourist company handles the excursions off this boat and most of the saps on board is signed up. Not yours truly. From the looks of things the folks is going to see most of Europe in about twenty minutes. I'm hitting out independently and Mrs. Deneker and me sees about everything there is. I speak a little Mexican I picked up during my spell at Hollywood, and this is carrying me through plenty OK. We gets to Gibraltar Tuesday. This is the place that insurance company built so as to have an ad for how strong they are. I don't guess I'll go ashore there. Knowing its a tie-up with the Prudential, there's probably nothing to see but cemeteries. I understand there's two movie houses at Gibraltar. One open for business, the other making money. Weli, will send you another analysis from Algiers if there's anything to analyze. CLEM. Sign Deneker yourself. Pickford Film for Criterion "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall," the new Pickford picture opens at the Criterion either May 4 or May 11. The contracts have not been signed but it is taken for granted that the deal will be consummated. The picture will replace "The Humming Bird," at Grauman's Million Dollar theater, Los Angeles as soon as the latter completes its run. No Title For Johnson Film Harry Berman stated yesterday that the new Emory Johnson film will not be known as "Spirit of America," because he felt this title would encroach on the Griffith picture, "America."
