It was held in the shadow of Wall Street. Pictures, of course, was the main topic. Saying little and hearing much we gained that the collective opinion of at least some responsible banking and financial observers regarding this M. P. business is about as follows: That it is occasionally sensitive and not depression proof, but still more staple and evenly balanced than most lines. That the present economic depression and trying times have done much in knitting together better business organizations within the industry. That with the return of normal conditions our first string companies will lead the parade to bigger earnings and that all in all amusement in general and motion pictures in particular are as necessary to the peoples of the world as steel, food and clothing.

Winfield Sheehan, Vice President. Fox Film Corporation, Hollywood, Calif. Leaving Montana tonight with two special trains and twentyone baggage cars of equipment, having completed the Buffalo Stampede sequence of THE BIG TRAIL. Have had to use Pullman cars for sleeping quarters due to lack of accommodations locally and if the original pioneers suffered more from cram» cd quarters the present pioneeM would like to know. It wfl worth it for the buffalo chaS had so many thrills and JoW Wayne had so many close calls that I was mighty glad wheB it was over. For three days thi bulls in the buffalo herd ceM tainly were mean in their dispositions and now that meanness has been filmed and recorded for all time in the celluloid. Believe the buffalo hunt will top all the other high spots for thrills. One more desert sequence and then the end of the Trail in the Big Tree country and our work will have been finished. No more thrills to be filmed and the four months of worry is over, with no fatality or even accident. Am mighty proud we went over the Trail without injury to man or beast. RAOUL WALSH (Advt.)
