A . trigued with the for August idfa of one of our foremost picture executive thinker analysts to close up shop and lock the door on the whole darn picture pastime every August. This month, for all film folk, would he a general holiday and playtime, as it were. Exhibitors would renovate their houses and install new equipment. Producers and directors would get far away from the atmosphere of the studio and return on Sept. 1 with oodles of new and fancy ideas. Distributors and exchangemen could get away from the daily grind of film peddling and return to their desks on Labor Day as super-salesmen. Trade paper editors could go away on their yachts and private cars and airplanes and rest a few days in peace, while a tremendous populace, hungry to starvation for electrical entertainment, would then be standing in line, blocks long, starting about Aug. 23 and waiting patiently for Sept. 1 to arrive. Of course, Will Hays and Charlie Pettijohn would have to stay on the job to keep someone from bodily stealing the business, and Abram Myers would spend his August visiting the watering places seeing that unaffiliated exhibitors on vacation conduct themselves as unaffiliated exhibitors on vacation should. Take it or leave it. It's not our idea, anyway. Four Legit. Attractions on Warner Bros. Schedule Four legitimate productions al-eadv are scheduled for offering by Warner Bros, in New York next season. At least three of them will be produced first as talkers and then on the stasre.

The Spanish trade and public have accepted talkers with much enthusiasm, Greenup says, and although less than 50 houses are wired at present, indications now are that installations will be speeded.

Happy to report entire unit of 300 players and production staff now here safe and sound and ready for biggest dramatic moments and hardest work along THE BIG TRAIL. Jack Padjen in charge of stock! was on ground ten days ago and assembled additional cattle, horses and mules. Also added, prairie schooners. Have resumed the trek ovetl the Trail and have approxU mately eight weeks to go. Roxy verbally made agreeJ ment to buy me the best motor car in New York when I gave him a production breaking the Roxv record of "The Cock Eyed World." Tell him to start pick, ing out the car now. I will claim it soon after Labor Day. Glad to report that despite the tremendous strain on every player and every member of the unit, especially during the mud hole sequence and the river scenes, not a soul has lost one day. John Wayne, the boy who plays the lead, will be a positive sensation. He is fulfilling all expectations and this even though surrounded by such seasoned players as Tully Marshall, Tyrone Power, El Brendel, Marguerite Churchill, David Rollins, Russ Powell, Louise Carver and Frederick Burton. The basic note of THE BIG TRAIL is the re-creation of the daring and adventure of men, women and children who in battling the elements endured so much for home and family. RAOUL WALSH (Advt.)
