At least, that is what it seemed to us on a recent visit to the MG-M Studios in Culver City, where a construction program, including the erection of sixteen three room suites for their famous stars, an emergency hospital, a dental emergency building and a fire station, all under way. In addition to these marvelous changes, twenty-four pictures are to be in production within the next month. This was the welcome announcement given us after Nicholas M. Schenck, Louis B. Mayer, Irving Thalberg, and the other executives at this major studio, got through with their conference recently. The modern suites for the stars, with facilities for the protection of valuable wardrobe and other luxurious accommodations, are provided for the lucky ones under contract to the studios. Not forgetting that the feeding of their players is an important item, the commissary is to be enlarged for the thousands expected to be employed during the Spring rush. Also the Casting Department, and the Film Vaults are to be bigger and grander than ever. A few of the names on the roster of this famed organization that are to be benefited by the changes are : Norma Shearer, Marion Davies, Lionel Barrymore, Joan Crawford, (Continued on Page 7) th DORIS LLOYD The amusement world offers many very capable character actresses. Doris Lloyd is one that commands attention with the best of them in every role that she enacts on stage and screen. It Is High Time That Something is Done to Call a Halt The free-for-all fight that is still'/ raging between the producers^and the various crafts TJwyflrin T^ie industry is holding bacR'the progress o\ the business ,-gfetting back to normal. T/h^fs true in every branch, all because people are not playing fair with one another and are trying to drive home bargains that in time will cripple the very heart of the work they are striving to improve their present earning capacity in, and will in time sound the death knell of the very industry that is making possible their living and working under happier conditions. The NRA is striving to be the mediator, but we find too many dictators in line ready to prove that without them the motion picture industry would fail. The}' are not half as important as they think they are. and if they will just let their own personal feelings go to the four winds and work for the betterment of conditions and bring about a better understanding between employees and employer, they will be doing a service to the very interests that thej are supposed to serve, and to the amusement world, which will benefit by viewing better pictures. TERRY DANZLER BACK Terry Danzler is back from Shanghai, China, where he and his band have been playing to about 3,999 night club followers. He expects to make a tieup shortly with one of the amusement centers in the Southland. r CASTING DIRECTORS— ATTENTION! Talented Children Furnished for Pictures — Naturalness Retained.
