(continued) What's the use of kidding ourselves about pictures. know what hlls the seats. ^Cheers J And Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer knows how to cater to our public. I saw some of the things that they've got coming. And I realized that the best business move I ever made was when I signed for The Qiiality Fifty-Two. I overlooked no bets while in Hollywood. ^Laughter J Seriously, pictures like "Sally, Irene and Mary," and Norma Shearer with Lew Cody in "Free Lips," are pictures that I as an exhibitor would produce. They've got one called "Bright Lights" with Charlie Ray and Pauline Starke. The story of a small-town boy who falls tor a Broadway beauty. That picture IS a wmner. Every Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture I saw I felt this way about. They've got my slant on pictures and 1 believe in mv slant because it's been making money for me. (^Applausej I saw Mickey Neilan making a comedy called "The Great Love." WdtCh for that one, gentlemen. I saw Mae Murray doing an Apache scene in "The Masked Bride." Coming after "The Merry Widow" that beautiful girl's going to bring in a lot of cash customers. I guess I sound like a Metro-Goldwvn-Mayer salesman, ^haug/iterj Well, I am, practically, because every Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer exhibitor gets to be a salesman for the product sooner or later. I had a great season so far with The Qiiality Fifty-Two. But Tve seen a lot more of it. And if you ask me what I liked best in Hollywood Til aiiswer frankly. I liked best looking over those Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer winners that are still coming to me on my Quality Fifty-Two contract. I THANK YOU
