The powerful "Outside the Law." The irresistible "Journey's End." The charming "Old English." The gripping "Dawn Patrol" and the sensational "Moby Dick." And if these are not class enough to hold 'em, Mate, why you'd better turn the old showhouse into an indoor swimming beach or sheltered polo field. * * * 5m»( and the screen, like oil and water, were never made to mix. * * * The indefatigable, impetuous and reactionary Mr. Welford Beaton in his sincere and breezy "Film Spectator" steps right up to the journalistic rostrum and announces in his largest and blackest type as follows: "I challenge all the producers, production executives, associate producers and supervisors in Hollywood to meet in convention and find one among them who can explain what a motion picture is." We are used to balmy questions, but here's one that has not only us but our entire staff and household in an apparently inextricable quandary. After looking at the question from every angle we give it up. In fact, we never even heard of one. And now, MR. BONES, just what IS a motion picture? and, if you tell us it's a painting in a moving van, we'll scream! Oh! Mr. Beaton FOR 20 PARIS PICTURES All 20 of the stories to be produced in foreign languages at Paramount's studio at Joinville, France, will be made in French and Spanish. Just how much of the feature product will be made in German is indefinite pending settlement of the film situation in that country. Ninety versions will be made of the 20 features scheduled, according to revised plans. At least six will be made in 13 languages which are: French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Polish, Czechslovakian, Hungarian, Roumanian, Crotian, Norwegian and Dutch.
