SEE FURTHER CONFABS ON GB IN NEW YORK from they until (Continued from Page 1) rival of the Ostrer brothers the coast. They stated that would remain in New York after the Chinstmas holidays. As they arrived at Grand Central Terminal, both Ostrers declined to discuss any phases of the deals under discussion. Kent is due to leave Hollywood today by train for the East and Schenck returns Monday, next week. Although no official statements have disclosed the nature of the Ostrer proposals, recently coast reports from well-informed sources said that the GB executives are trying to work out an arrangement under which a holding company would be formed with 20th Century-Fox, Loew's and the Ostrers holding equal interests.

LAW OF THE STAGE, SCREEN AND RADIO Including Authors' Literaoy Property and Copyright in Drama, Music, Photoplays and Radio Script, etc., by Roger Marchetti of the Los Angeles Bar. Published by SuttonHouse, Ltd., San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York. 476 pages. The author of this complete, ready reference volume for stage, motion picture and radio lawyers, executives and writers is a wel-known coast attorney whose practice has embraced the many legal angles of motion picture production. His book covers practically every law situation that might develop relative to stage and sci'een production and radio broadcasting. It is presented in ordinary, straight-forward English, avoiding all legal, technical phraseology aside from quotations of law cases and court decisions, and is therefore easily understandable by the layman in legal matters. It should find a place on the shelf of every lawyer, producer and writer in the three fields it covers so admirably. Copyright, which is a fundamental consideration in the amusement field, is logically dealt with first, in a comprehensive historical survey and in its development as affecting the three most popular branches of that field. A fifth of the volume is given to this subject and its ramifications. A complete section is devoted to the regulation, licensing and censorship of stage, screen and radio. Other sections deal with defamation, the invasion of personal rights and of the light of privacy; with the performing artists and their contracts; the distribution of films; the theater and its operation; and radio entertainment. The mutual duties and responsibilities of exhibitors, theater managers and their patrons are fully covered. The book is well considered and authoritative; laws and court decisions and other sources of information are covered in ample footnotes. A valuable part of the volume is the comprehensive, elaborately subdivided chapters in the table of contents and the index. Type is clear and large. A pocket is provided on the back cover for supplements that may be issued from time to time to keep the subject matter up to the latest rulings and legislation in the three branches of the amusement field. The book is an admirable incursion into a field which has hitherto not been covered and should prove indispensable to producers, artists and exhibitors and their attorneys. — L. H. M.
