Now, Mr. LeRoy is forming his own production company which will be known as "Mervyn LeRoy Productions." His pictures will be released through Warner Bros. At present he is concerned about a trademark — one that will be in keeping with the sterling type of motion pictures he plans to produce. Regarding it, he says : "I am looking for a trademark that will be entirely different from any now in use. It must be distinctive as well as impressive. It is my plan to produce only class pictures with mass appeal, therefore those participating in this contest should bear that fact in mind. I am not concerned with the artiness of the suggestions sent in as I am with the effectiveness of the ideas. It isn't necessary for anyone to be an artist — though a sketch of the idea will be as welcome as a description of the idea itself." [Continued on page 92]
