FOREIGN VERSIONS
Market Abroad Only Scratched
Radio Pictures is reported to be makingrapid strides in its foreign version department, with Leon d'Usseau, head of foreign production, at the studios, now completing an assembly of writers, directors and players of the five important languages — French, Spanish, German, Italian and Scandinavian.
"I am now getting this group together, so they will be available instantly to Radio Pictures," he said. "We have barely scratched the foreign versions possibilities. Why, in such cities as New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Pittsburgh, there are many to support foreign pictures of one kind or another.
"There are 21 Spanish speaking countries alone, and millions of people along our Southern border who would prefer Spanish talking pictures.
"I believe the future will show that our increased production value in films for foreign markets, the additional investment for higher standards, better directors, better players, will have a twofold value in returns ; an increased income from other countries and the establishment of a splendid market at home.
" 'Le roi s'ennuie,' a French version of the stage play 'The Queen's Husband,' opened in New York three months ago and played to successful returns. The same film succeeded in Paris, the interior of France, and P~rench colonies, creating a demand for all that Radio Pictures can produce."
In charge of supervising and directing French versions is Marquis de La Falaise. He is at present engaged in directing "Una Femme Libre," with a cast of French players.
According to present plans all productions that have the French appeal will be translated as fast as they are produced in English.

Associated Talking Pictures Plans
Encouraged by the success of "Escape" and "Perfect Alibi," pictures produced by Basil Dean, director and producer of English films for Radio Pictures' release in America last year, a more ambitious program has been lined up for 1931.
Associated Talking Pictures, Ltd., of London, of which Dean is producer-director, has agreed to produce a series of si.x films for Radio in 1931. To assist in producing the type of picture in this country, Joseph I. Schnitzer, president of Radio, recently sent a crew of cutters, cameramen and technicians from the Hollywood studios.
H. M. Baker, an English capitalist, is financing the films being produced by Dean. Both men recently visited Radio Pictures studio.
