By IVAN SPEAR<br />

]» T I.VETEEN hundred fUty-eight Ls verj'<br />

1^ apt to go down in the histor>- of the<br />

* " niotion picture industry as the year<br />

that separated the men from the boys,<br />

which divorcement is likely to obtain not<br />

oiily as concerns those who manufacture,<br />

distribute and exhibit theatrical screen<br />

fare but, additionally, those intrepid souls<br />

—or should they be called foolhardy?<br />

who underUke to prognosticate what the<br />

Just-starting annum has in store for the<br />

trade.<br />

As was indicated in this space Just<br />

twelve months ago. this business of trying<br />

to document what is to be expected of<br />

Holl>'wood in the way of production is<br />

becoming an increasingly difficult chore—<br />

and that goes in spades this year. Many,<br />

and .somewhat ommous. are the new developments<br />

that inject additional hazards<br />

into attempts to blueprint the production<br />

center's<br />

planning.<br />

OPINIONS ON FUTURE V.ARY<br />

Item: The poles-apart differences of<br />

opinions regarding the future fate of<br />

filmdom's factories. On one hand, there<br />

are doleful predictions, such as the one<br />

which was recently made by Chicago exhibitor<br />

Edwin Silverman that within six<br />

months every Hollywood studio, save one.<br />

would be closed. While the Silvermanian<br />

prophecy of gloom— and others of similar<br />

pessimLsm—generated quick and loud wails<br />

of protest, denial or indignation from<br />

many film capital spokesmen, none could<br />

be so ostrich-like as to deny that there<br />

was some basis of reason for them. As<br />

1957 drew to a close, several of the studios,<br />

breaking out in rashes of the periodical<br />

economy moves, tightened their respective<br />

belts to the near-strangulation point. In<br />

some instances the trimming of payrolls<br />

and future production plans seemed to be<br />

inexplicably drastic and difficult to justify<br />

in the face of overall revenues and earnings<br />

suiements.<br />

Item: The threat—or possibly it should<br />

be called the uncertainty— that is being<br />

ixjscd by the strides that have been and<br />

are being made toward nationwide culmination<br />

by pay-a.s-you-view television.<br />

Varied, indeed, are opinions in Hollywood<br />

as to the advLsabllily and success chances<br />

of pay video. Regardless of whether viewpoints<br />

are on the pro or con sides, all<br />

agree on one point, namely: that at this<br />

stage In Its drive toward Ijccomlng a substantial<br />

actuality, no one can foresee what<br />

effects It is going, ultimately, to have on<br />

ihi- production of films for established<br />

thmtrical consumption.<br />

"<br />

sustain the theatre-going habits of the<br />

millions who still have It and probably rekindle<br />

that habit in many of those who<br />

have lost it.<br />

Perhaps the most potent factor entering<br />

into the drawing of such conclusion is<br />

the fact that many of the producers have<br />

already announced their plans for the year.<br />

Whether these announcements—or repetitions<br />

thereof in those cases where they<br />

have l)een previously made—were stimulated<br />

by the above-mentioned dispensing<br />

of dejection, or whether the fact that they<br />

followed closely upon the heels thereof<br />

was pure happenstance is of little importance.<br />

They add up to one thing: If they<br />

are carried to conclusion or anywhere<br />

close thereto—there certainly cannot be<br />

a widespread shuttering of the film foundries.<br />

Take, for example, 20th Centui-y-Fox.<br />

From its Westwood studio came concrete<br />

evidence of the company's confidence in<br />

the future outlook for the film industry<br />

with definite word that for 1958 It is increasing<br />

its previously-announced schedule<br />

of 60 releases to a revi.sed total of 65, and<br />

that an additional $5,000,000 has been<br />

allocated to bring the budget total up to<br />

an unprecedented $65,000,000. Of the total<br />

65 pictures. 28 will be provided by Regal<br />

Films. 20th-Fox subsidiary headed by<br />

Robert Lippert. which lists "The Ply."<br />

a science-horror thriller, and a western<br />

"Blood Arrow." as its top contenders in<br />

the upcoming year. Production chief<br />

Buddy Adler has announced 18 scripts<br />

already completed at the Westwood lot,<br />

and another 20 In work, with excitement<br />

running high anent "Fraulein." "The<br />

Young Lions." "Ten North Frederick" and<br />

"The Inn of the Sixth Happiness,' amoni?<br />

others.<br />

OPTUVnSM AT COLUMBIA<br />

Columbia is backiiig up its optimistic<br />

viewTx>int as concerns the future for the<br />

picture business with a 1958 production<br />

slate of at least 40 pictures, mast of which<br />

are rated as "A" or "Double A" features.<br />

Aside from the Gower Street studio bringing<br />

an imposing list of films adapted from<br />

best-.selling novels and stage plays<br />

and 'Bell, Book and<br />

Candle." to name two) to the screen, it<br />

anticipated that Sam Katzman's Clover<br />

is<br />

Productions will do a minimum of 12 pictures<br />

for Columbia; Charles Schneer.<br />

through Mornlngslde Productions, will<br />

make at least two, and Carl Foreman<br />

Productions will deliver one. Also up for<br />

Columbia releiuse will be pictures from<br />

Carlos Ponti Productions. Dino De Laulentlls<br />

Productions and Warwick Productions,<br />

with John and James Wooll slated<br />

to produce a film under the Romulu.s biin-<br />

Wamer Bros, will welcome In the new<br />

year with lu biggest production lineup in<br />

several years. Including a program of top<br />

features. Jack L Warner, pro.sident of<br />

the Burbank studio, recently fortified his<br />

staunch faith In the well-being of the<br />

Industry with the purchft.se of three<br />

literary pro|)ertles— "Ice PiUuce." "Dftik<br />

which<br />

"<br />

when the time comes to releu.se the fliinshlp<br />

pictures on their respective 1958<br />

slates. Just how good the pictures are<br />

when finished, how Iohk will be their final<br />

runnhiK time nnd wha sums they<br />

ultimately cost will undoubtedly determine,<br />

as It hius In the past, what features will be<br />

selected for the exalted two-a-day treatment.<br />

One that Is a certainty for that<br />

cateKory Is the uiKomlnK "Clnenilracle Adventure."<br />

Initial effort In the new widescreen<br />

photORraphlc and projection process<br />

perfected ajid financed by Elmer Rhoden's<br />

National Tlieatres. While It will be a loi-.n<br />

time— certainly not In 1958— before rank<br />

and file -showhouses can exhibit "Cliiemlracle<br />

Adventure. " or any other picture<br />

made In the new technique. Its advent<br />

will prove of Interest to theatremen everywhere.<br />

If for no other rea.son than Its indicative<br />

bearings on things to come.<br />

LIST THE BIG ONES<br />

Other forthcoming films that seem<br />

probables for road-showing are George<br />

Sidney's fllmlzation of MacKlnlay Kantor's<br />

best-seller, "Ander.sonville," for Columbia<br />

release: MGM's remake of the<br />

all-time classic, "Ben Hur," which Sam<br />

Zimbalist will produce and William Wyler<br />

direct, starring Burt Lancaster; 20th<br />

Centui-y-Poxs screen version of Rodgers<br />

and Hammerstein's musical, "South<br />

Pacific," produced by Buddy Adler, directed<br />

by Joshua Logan, and starring<br />

Mitzi Gaynor and Ro.s.sano Brazzi: and<br />

Warner Bros.' "The Miracle," to be<br />

made in the Cinemiracle medium with<br />

Irving Rapper directing the Max Reinhardt-Karl<br />

VoUmoeller play.<br />

No survey of productional trends and or<br />

prospects of upcoming product would be<br />

complete without some reference to the<br />

so-called package deals that during the<br />

past year have proven a bread-and-butter<br />

life-saver for so many exhibitors, most<br />

those who require a steady flow<br />

especially<br />

of modestly-priced features to operate<br />

their theatres in which several program<br />

changes a week constitute standard<br />

modus operandi. The profitable market<br />

these combo bookings have found and the<br />

product announcements of tho.se outfits<br />

that specialize in making them leave no<br />

doubt that they will supply an even greater<br />

proportion of 1958's available celluloid.<br />

Many and widely-varied statistics have<br />

been finding their way into print to<br />

establish the fact that an arrestingly high<br />

percentage of Hollywood's current output<br />

is stemming from independent producers.<br />

As the proportion of pictures from such<br />

freelance sources has increased, so has<br />

gi-own the ambiguity of the designation.<br />

There are the more-orthodox, dyed-inthe-wool,<br />

self-financed independents .such<br />

as Hal Wallis. Samuel Goldwyn, Hecht-<br />

Hill-Lancaster, Edward Small and several<br />

othei-s.<br />

BUMPER CROP OF NEWCOMERS<br />

Then, there is the recent and<br />

bumper crop of newcomers to the independent<br />

pastures, the men who normally<br />

would be salaried producers on major<br />

studio payrolls, but. because of complicated<br />

financial and tax ramifications, have hung<br />

out their own shingles and are making or<br />

planning films on any one of innumerable<br />

profit-sharing bases. But, no matter how<br />

loosely the term independent producer is<br />

utilized, one thing is certain—to wit: that<br />

the same high percentage of the programs<br />

of all distributors will continue to be made<br />

by them.<br />

As regards the more standardized ingredients<br />

that enter into a symposium of<br />

a year's forthcoming prixiuct iliicomcdie.s,<br />

mu.slcalii. problem play.s. rlc<br />

they apparently will be on Ur- bu' incs.^as-iLsual<br />

"<br />

a<br />

By<br />

AL STEEN<br />

1W1.1KVKR before. Those Iwo words have<br />

Lit'fii<br />

Pn| utilized In practically every<br />

article dealing with predictions (or<br />

a new year since<br />

trade papers were born.<br />

In the past, you have read that never before<br />

were the prospects so bright: never<br />

before ha-s the Industry stood on the<br />

threshold of such prosperity; never before<br />

has the lineup of good pictures looked<br />

.so promising; never before— never before.<br />

Most of the never befores have been accurate:<br />

the events bore out the forecasts.<br />

And they will hold true for 1958, provided<br />

the right decisions are made. So, it may<br />

be part of wisdom to state that this year<br />

must be a year of decision, as never before.<br />

YEARS OF MANY DECISIONS<br />

Not so many years ago an exhibitor's<br />

big decision for the new year might have<br />

been whether to build a new theatre or<br />

modernize his existing one. Around 1928—<br />

30 years ago— he might have wrestled<br />

with the decision of whether to wire his<br />

theatre for sound or take a chance that<br />

the talkies were a passing fad. More recently,<br />

he had to decide whether to equip<br />

for 3-D and, at>out the same time, for<br />

Cinemascope. The era of polarized glasses<br />

didn't last, but how was the exhibitor to<br />

know. The same quick demise might have<br />

happened to the aspect ratio of 2.55-1.<br />

Even Spyros Skouras could have been<br />

wrong, though he wasn't.<br />

Today, both exhibition and productiondistribution<br />

are facing their greatest year<br />

of decision as—here we go again—never<br />

before. The decisions that must be made<br />

in 1958 could spell the difference between<br />

progress and collapse of a great industry.<br />

RETAIN POST-1948 FILMS<br />

Let's take production-distribution first.<br />

A number of exhibitors, circuit and independent,<br />

were asked what they considered<br />

the most important decision which<br />

Hollywood, or Hollywood's home offices,<br />

must make this year. The answers were<br />

practically unanimous: Keep the post-<br />

1948 backlogs of pictures off of the television<br />

.screens. One of the most important<br />

circuit executives in the business was<br />

vociferous in stating that that decision<br />

was a "must," adding that all other matters<br />

were of much less importance. If the<br />

post-1948 product is released to television,<br />

he said, "it will mean curtains for a big<br />

majority of theatres." He further contended<br />

that for every dollar one company<br />

received from TV sales, it lost $3 in inventory.<br />

An independent exhibitor echoed the<br />

circuit chief's opinion and added, "The<br />

distributors must realize that they are<br />

committing suicide when they make their<br />

product available to television." He said,<br />

"Let television take care of itself."<br />

True, it must be very challenging for a<br />

BOXOFFICE<br />

company to turn down mllUon.i of dolljui<br />

for pictures that are gathering dust In the<br />

vault.s But It Is a decUlon that must be<br />

made. ParUally blaming televUlon for<br />

the pre.sent status of theatre buslnesH. Leo<br />

Wolcott. head of Allled's lowa-NebrajiIca<br />

unit, recently said that if the small, gra-wrooU<br />

theatres, the "farm .lystem of motion<br />

picture patrons, are allowed to wither<br />

"<br />

and die . . this entire once-great motion<br />

picture industry must surely also die and<br />

rot Into oblivion. He .said the bigger situations<br />

were little, if any. better off, and<br />

"with the .smaller roots and branches dead<br />

or dying, the larger ones are next<br />

And foremost in Industry forums the.se<br />

days Is the discussion of orderly releasing<br />

of top product In exhibitor circles, particularly,<br />

the even flow of good pictures<br />

throughout a 12-month period is considered<br />

an absolute necessity toward maintaining<br />

a healthy boxoffice. According to<br />

Edward L. Hyman. vice-president of AB-<br />

PT Inc. who has been a prime mover in<br />

persuading film distributors to release top<br />

pictures in every .season of the year, most<br />

of the companies have agreed to such a<br />

practice. The big decisions for 1958 will<br />

come in the maintenance of the proposed<br />

orderly releasing program, and whether<br />

exhibitors, given a long-range scheduling<br />

of important pictures, will do the top<br />

showmarLship job required to sell pictures<br />

on a steady 12-month basis.<br />

VITAL EXHIBITION PROBLEMS<br />

So much for production-distribution.<br />

What about exhibition? Yes, plenty of<br />

vital decisions must be made this year by<br />

the men who operate the nation's theatres.<br />

One, which at this writing appears<br />

to be remote and inconsequential, concerns<br />

an innovation which should not be<br />

taken lightly. And that is toll television<br />

and its application to theatre operation.<br />

It's a bromide to say that they laughed<br />

at Fulton's steamboat. The prospects of<br />

talkmg pictures were smoldering long before<br />

that radical departure from the silent<br />

screen burst Into the flame of public acceptability,<br />

but the diehards. those who<br />

claimed that silent pictures never would<br />

be supplanted, woke up one day and discovered<br />

it was a case of either or else.<br />

The Bartlesville cable theatre project, perhaps.<br />

ha.sn't set the amusement world upside<br />

down but it has its foot in the door.<br />

Coming along, and rapidly so. are Telemeter.<br />

Skiatron and Selectivision. The<br />

backers thereof want the systems to be<br />

controlled and operated by exhibitors, not<br />

by outsiders. And so. many a theatre<br />

owner is asking himself the question ol<br />

whether to pick up a franchise for one of<br />

the systems, as a protection, or laugh it<br />

all off as "a Fulton's folly."<br />

Some of the veterans and pioneers in<br />

this business claim that national, and even<br />

universal, acceptance of a form of Bartlesville's<br />

home theatre process is "inevitable."<br />

If so. some verj- vital decisions<br />

are going to have to be made And the decisions<br />

must be made this year<br />

Despite the poMible new horlion* of exhibition,<br />

the theatre will jurvlve. either lu<br />

an adjunct or the main event That point<br />

has never been denied, even by the mtjiit<br />

rabid proponenu of toll TV Therefore<br />

exhibition mu«t put up a .solid front—<br />

front of unity, more solid than ever before.<br />

The iMue stemming from the clamor<br />

for a consolidation of Allied SUtes Am n<br />

and Theatre Owners of America must<br />

and probably will be. decided this year<br />

It Is Ls reliably reported that there an<br />

undercurrent in favor of a merger among<br />

(Xjwerful Influences in both camps and<br />

that the hour of decision is not far off<br />

Such a fusion, according to the advocates.<br />

will benefit all exhibitors.<br />

CLOSER ON ARBITRATION<br />

The materialization of an equitable arbitration<br />

system Ls a decision that rests<br />

In the laps of both exhibition and distribution.<br />

On some points, the two segmenu<br />

are not In agreement But a year<br />

ago they were poles apart, now they are<br />

reaching an equator.<br />

The decisions that are expected to come<br />

out of the arbitration conferences should<br />

be of far-reaching importance and conceivably<br />

could solve many of the bones<br />

of contention over which lx)th factions<br />

are growling. Documents and formulae<br />

of a similar nature never have l)een perfect<br />

In the first writing, but if the upcoming<br />

draft opens the door, reasonably,<br />

to better trade practices. It will be. to use<br />

a time-worn expression, a step In the<br />

right direction, and the decision should<br />

be to adopt it and try to make improvements<br />

later.<br />

Perhaps the most important decision is<br />

not to get panicky. Old-timers in this<br />

business know from experience that the<br />

industry has hit the skids before, but by<br />

combining hard work with the protective<br />

arm of Providence, it always has come<br />

back stronger than ever. It is recalled<br />

that, in 1938. picture business was so bad<br />

that an emergency meeting was held in<br />

New York and exhibitors from all parts<br />

of the country gathered to determine<br />

what they should do about it A lot of<br />

fortunes have been made m exhibition<br />

since those dark days.<br />

HIGH INVESTMENT P»)TENTIAI.<br />

In February of last year. Arnold Bernhard<br />

& Co.. investment advisers, based on<br />

its Value Line investment survey, predicted<br />

a prosperous current fiscal year,<br />

followed by four or five years of steadily<br />

mcreasing annual Income for the motion<br />

picture industry. While the average gam<br />

for all stocks for the next three to five<br />

years were listed by the survey at 28 per<br />

cent, amusement Industry stocks were<br />

given an appreciation potential In that<br />

period of<br />

56 per cent.<br />

While the past year could not be considered<br />

prosperous on the whole for motion<br />

pictures, these investment advisers<br />

usually are pretty accurate on the long<br />

pull.

.<br />

.<br />

TM, PHRASE heard on all sides the<br />

/^ past<br />

".<br />

year has been the<br />

changing patterns of motion<br />

picture patronage ." This phrase<br />

has cropped up in the utterances o(<br />

industry members, critics, commentators,<br />

and magazine writers, representing<br />

many differing viewpoints,<br />

but in each case it has been used<br />

to buttress whatever argument the<br />

writer or speaker was trying to advance.<br />

However, a study of the results<br />

in BOXOFFICE BAROMETER'S<br />

21st annual All- American Screen<br />

Favorites poll makes one point<br />

strongly: regardless of who makes<br />

up the audience, a picture which<br />

catches the public fancy helps build<br />

the popularity of its star; equally, a<br />

star who has been built by a string<br />

of popular pictures can weather a<br />

period of inactivity with little loss of<br />

popularity.<br />

The outstanding example of this<br />

among the male stars is Gary Grant<br />

who was elevated to the number<br />

three position, after several years of<br />

"semi-retirement," on the strength of<br />

"An Affair to Remember " "'The<br />

Pride and the Passion," added to the<br />

previous year's ""To Gatch a Thief."<br />

William Holden, last year's leading<br />

male star, placed second in the current<br />

poll with only one picture, ""Toward<br />

the Unknown," to his credit<br />

during the past several months. He<br />

spent most of the past year abroad,<br />

first in Geylon for "Bridge on the<br />

River Kwai" and then in Britain for<br />

"The Key" with Sophia Loren.<br />

Almost as dramatic as Grant's return<br />

to favor was the reappearance<br />

of Ingrid Bergman among the most<br />

popular feminine stars as the result<br />

of one picture, "Anastasia, ' first<br />

American film in eight years. Her<br />

last previous appearance in the<br />

select circle was in 1949.<br />

The emergence of Rock Hudson in<br />

the top male spot in the balloting,<br />

although representing a sharp rise<br />

from his tenth place position among<br />

the men in the previous poll, actually<br />

is a story of steady progress over the<br />

past five years until the impact of<br />

"Giant," in 1956, brought him to the<br />

forefront of public attention. He first<br />

appeared on the poll in 1955 among<br />

the runners-up. In 1956, he also<br />

gained respect for his work in<br />

"Written on the Wind" and, in 1957,<br />

appeared in "Battle Hymn" and<br />

'"Something of Value," both of which<br />

achieved top-hit status, with grosses<br />

of 166 per cent and 132 per cent,<br />

respectively. Hudson gained an additional<br />

honor when he was named<br />

Star of the Year by the Theatre<br />

Owners of America at their Miami<br />

convention.<br />

Frank Sinatra, nosed out of third<br />

and into fourth by Gary Grant, may<br />

have suffered a bit from timing insofar<br />

as the balloting is concerned, for<br />

few of the voters had seen his<br />

widely-acclaimed performance in<br />

"Pal Joey the time they marked<br />

It their ballots. might be noted here<br />

that, curiously, Sinatra's ups and<br />

downs in television seem to have<br />

little bearing on his stature as a<br />

motion picture personality.<br />

Gary Gooper, the perennial pin-up<br />

of the average exhibitor, advanced<br />

from sixth to fifth place among the<br />

men, largely on the boxoffice<br />

potency of "Friendly Persuasion"<br />

which played many return engagements<br />

the past year.<br />

Marlon Brando's long sojourn in<br />

lapan during the making of "Sayonara"<br />

appears to have cost him a<br />

temporary setback in popularity,<br />

reflected in his slide to sixth place<br />

Sinatra's case, Brando's performance<br />

in "Sayonara." already nailed<br />

by critics, was seen too late to be<br />

reflected in the balloting.<br />

James Stewart, who has been<br />

among the top male stars each year<br />

since 1947, was voted into the<br />

seventh position after placing fifth<br />

last year. Stewart is a prime example<br />

of a star with a solid following whose<br />

career pattern has been singularly<br />

free of sharp ups and downs. Right<br />

behind him in the voting is Burt<br />

Lancaster in eighth place, after placing<br />

seventh last year. Next is Glenn<br />

Ford, ninth place holder, who was<br />

eighth last year.<br />

In tenth place is a newcomer to<br />

the top echelon Yul Brynner— who<br />

rose to the inner circle from last<br />

year's runner-up list on the strength<br />

"<br />

of "The Ten Gommandments a<br />

strong follow-up to the previous<br />

seasons "The King and I" and<br />

"'Anastasia.' Brynner, who is soon<br />

to be seen in "The Buccaneer " and<br />

"The Brothers Karama20v, ' continues<br />

to meet with a bearish attitude<br />

on the part of exhibitors, although<br />

the critics and general public<br />

already have taken him to their<br />

hearts.<br />

Rounding out the top 12 male stars<br />

are two redoubtables Clark Gable<br />

and John Wayne. Gable, with "Band<br />

of Angels' to his credit, held his 1 1th<br />

place perch of the year before, while<br />

exhibitors, fared less favorably at<br />

the hands of critics as the result of<br />

"let Pilot" and "The Wings of<br />

Eagles," though both attained tophit<br />

status with grosses of 173 per<br />

cent and 134 per cent, respectively.<br />

Among the top 12 feminine stars,<br />

the first and second choices remain<br />

the same as last year—Kim Novak<br />

and Doris Day, in that order. They<br />

ran neck and neck right down to the<br />

final wire, with Miss Novak winning<br />

by a slim margin and Miss Day remaining<br />

the big favorite with the<br />

exhibitor voters. Each of the girls<br />

was seen in only one film during the<br />

period covered in the balloting, Miss<br />

'<br />

Novak in "Jeanne Eagles Miss<br />

'<br />

Day in "The Pajama Game. Both<br />

these pictures made the BAROM-<br />

ETER top-hit category, with an<br />

overall gross rating of 164 per cent<br />

and 175 per cent, respectively.<br />

A star whose position improved<br />

materially the past year is Deborah<br />

Kerr, who rose to third from fifth<br />

spot the year before. She appeared<br />

in two pictures, both of which were<br />

top hits — "Heaven Knows, Mr.<br />

Allison" scoring 191 per cent and<br />

"An Affair to Remember" scoring<br />

165 per cent.<br />

In fourth place is Elizabeth Taylor,<br />

who moved up from seventh place<br />

on the strength of "Giant," the same<br />

picture that provided the final push<br />

for Rock Hudson. "Raintree County,"<br />

which came too late to be considered<br />

in the voting, is expected<br />

further to enhance Miss Taylor's<br />

popularity.<br />

two distinct types of audience prefor<br />

ence. Miss Hepburn, seen the post<br />

year in "Funny Face" and "Love in<br />

the Afternoon," is a favorite in the<br />

larger situations and with the<br />

sophisticates, while Miss Reynolds'<br />

popularity is at an all-time high with<br />

medium and small situation exhibitors<br />

and with the "family-type" audiences.<br />

The lasting appeal of<br />

"<br />

Tammy and the Bachelor, which<br />

has brought it back for one and<br />

sometimes two return engagements<br />

in theatres all over the country, has<br />

given new life to another Reynolds<br />

film of the season before, "The Tender<br />

Trap, in which she played op-<br />

"<br />

posite Sinatra. This film, loo, has<br />

been booked for return engagements<br />

in indoor and drive-in situations,<br />

and through this added exposure<br />

has won Miss Reynolds an<br />

additional following.<br />

June Allyson, in seventh place,<br />

advanced one notch from her eighth<br />

place standing last year. In many<br />

respects her popularity parallels<br />

that of James Stewart in that she is<br />

a consistent winner year after year,<br />

the current balloting representing<br />

her ninth consecutive appearance in<br />

the charmed circle of top favorites.<br />

Her pictures the post year have included<br />

"Interlude" and "My Man<br />

Godfrey."<br />

Ingrid Bergman's reappearance<br />

on the list of top favorites has already<br />

been noted and, from all indications,<br />

she will be seen in additional<br />

American-made films in the<br />

coming months which should make<br />

her popularity even greater with<br />

critics and mass-appeal audiences<br />

alike.<br />

Ava Gardner, seen the past year<br />

in two films, "The Little Hut" and<br />

"The Sun Also Rises," rose from 12th<br />

to ninth among feminine stars<br />

Susan Hayward, considered by critics<br />

to have been wasted in "Top<br />

Secret Affair," which failed to make<br />

the top-hit category, slipped from<br />

fourth spot to 10th, but garnered<br />

past<br />

many votes on the strength of<br />

performances and the promise of<br />

new ones to come. A similar fate<br />

befell Marilyn Monroe in the current<br />

returns. Her only showcase, 'The<br />

Prince and the Showgirl," made the<br />

top-hit category with 120 per cent,<br />

but proved hard to sell in medium<br />

and small situations.<br />

Appearing for the first time among<br />

the top 12 women stars is Dorothy<br />

Malone, who won the 1956 support<br />

ing role Oscar for '"Written on the<br />

Wind" and was seen the past year<br />

in "Man of a Thousand Faces," "Tip<br />

on a Dead Jockey," and "Quantez<br />

A number of new personalities<br />

found spots on the runners-up lists<br />

in the current balloting, and, particularly<br />

among the men, several<br />

long-established actors — Fred Astaire,<br />

David Niven and Anthony<br />

Quinn among others—came to new<br />

prominence during the year<br />

The top contenders, Pat Boone<br />

and Eva Marie Saint, each showed<br />

sufficient strength to crowd the top<br />

favorites list This vote of confidence<br />

m Boone is doubly noteworthy when<br />

it is considered that his only showcase<br />

at the time of the voting was<br />

Bernordine ' picture, how<br />

ever, proved to be a sleeper. " with<br />

a boxoffice rating of 159 per centwell<br />

in the top-hit category<br />

On the other hand. Elvis Presley,<br />

with three top-hit pictures under his<br />

belt, still is facing a stone wall as<br />

far as the cntics are concerned, and<br />

even the exhibitors consider him<br />

something of a hot potato on whom<br />

they may bum their fingers. On<br />

Presley's side are the boxoffice<br />

scores: "Love Me Tender "—196 per<br />

cent; "Loving You' — 187 per cent,<br />

and "Jailhouse Rock"— 177 per cent<br />

Three extremely successful pictures<br />

would seem to indicate that his audience<br />

appeal is more than a ninedays'<br />

wonder.<br />

Feminine newcomers include Sophia<br />

Loren, Jayne Mansfield, Joan<br />

Woodward, Joan Collins and Carroll<br />

Baker, while newcomers among<br />

the actors include Harry Belafonte.<br />

Anthony Perkins, Anthony Franoosa<br />

and Rossano Brazzi, all of whom<br />

have additional films in production<br />

By FRANK LEYENDECKER<br />

MOVIEGOERS who enjoy good shorts<br />

as the appetizer for their feature<br />

films — and their name is still<br />

legion despite the preponderance of<br />

double-bill programs which the teenage<br />

audience so often demands—will, once<br />

again, either be wafted to the world's<br />

faraway places via scenic or travel shorts<br />

or be amused by the 6 and 7-minute cartoons<br />

during 1958.<br />

The days of the live-action two-reel<br />

comedies, which had their heyday in the<br />

silent era of Charlie Chaplin. Mack Sennett<br />

and Keystone Comedies, and the<br />

early talkie years, via Laurel and Hardy,<br />

Clark and McCuUough and other famous<br />

slapstick teams, are practically over. Only<br />

Columbia's The Three Stooges, are still<br />

active and report has It that the longpopular<br />

trio will be making their last<br />

two-reelers in 1958. However, enough of<br />

these comedies, produced and directed by<br />

Jules White, have been completed to continue<br />

release through 1958. With Warner<br />

'<br />

Bros McDoakes two-reelers also discontinued,<br />

the only other comedy .short,s<br />

using live actors released were one starring<br />

Muriel Landers for Columbia and<br />

the .same company's long-running Screen<br />

Snapshots, which show famous Hollywood<br />

stars at parties and other functions. This<br />

Ralph Staub series is now being filmed<br />

In color, for the first time, and carries a<br />

"Gue.ss Who" feature for movie patrons<br />

to win a trip to Hollywood for identifying<br />

disguised movie stars.<br />

The changes in the scenic-travel shorts<br />

field for 1957 included the dropping of<br />

Paramount's Vi-staVision Specials in<br />

Technicolor but 20th Century-Fox is continuing<br />

its outstanding one-reel Cinema-<br />

Scope photographic excursion.? to faraway<br />

places: Warner Bros, has a series of<br />

two-reel Scope Gems, including "Alpine<br />

Glory" and "Under Carlb Skies"; Universal-International<br />

had Its series of onereel<br />

Color Parade scenic .shorts, as well as<br />

two-reel .scenic specials, and Columbia<br />

had its Musical Travelarks which .showed<br />

"The Wonders of Manhattan," "The Wonders<br />

of Washington, D. C." and "The<br />

Wonders of New Orleans," a marvelous<br />

way to see America from your theatre<br />

seat.<br />

In connection with Columbia's promotion<br />

contest on "The Wonders of Manhattan,"<br />

W. C. Sliver, Ml.ssouri exhibitor<br />

who runs the small-town Silver Theatre.<br />

Cameron, Mo., told the tradepress In New<br />

York that "Motion picture short subjects<br />

1/m HIS<br />

112 Features in Hit' Class<br />

Scoring 120% or More<br />

LIKE<br />

the rumor about Mcffk Twain which<br />

brought forth his famous quip, the demise<br />

of the motion picture industry seems to<br />

have been greatly exaggerated. With 112<br />

feature hits for the 1956-57 season (those grossing<br />

120 per cent or more), it is, obviously, a<br />

pretty live corpse. This counts as single units<br />

each of five combinations. For the previous<br />

season, BAROMETER reported 101 features in<br />

the hit category, which was a rise of 14 over<br />

the season before.<br />

Surveying the year's releases and their boxoffice<br />

reception, "The Ten Commandments"<br />

understandably is at the top of the hit list.<br />

This Biblical super-spectacle which has<br />

climaxed Cecil B. DeMille's lifetime efforts, will<br />

probably still be playing 25 years from now to<br />

interested audiences. It is a graphic example<br />

of what modern screen techniques can produce<br />

for distribution throughout the world.<br />

Close behind "The Ten Commandments" is<br />

"Giant." To see either of these pictures is an<br />

experience that adds emotional depth to the<br />

most insensitive. These and other pictures that<br />

scored high boxoffice marks prove beyond a<br />

doubt that vast numbers of people still are<br />

willing to pay for the privilege of seeing good<br />

motion pictures in theatres.<br />

"Around the World in 80 Days" merits<br />

special mention. It is one of those delightful<br />

bits of entertainment that is like an original art<br />

object, possessing a distinctive quality of its<br />

own which is recognized as such and brings<br />

heartening audience response. It is doing top<br />

business However, because of the extraordinary<br />

roadshow policy under which it has been<br />

shown to date in a limited number of engagements,<br />

its grossing average will not be reported<br />

until next year when it will go into more<br />

general release.<br />

In the combo field, boxoffice phenomenon of the<br />

controversy and gloom that disturbed<br />

In addition there were a few campaigns<br />

from exhibitors In England, South Africa<br />

Headlines through the year indicated<br />

that many theatremen intensified their<br />

efforts to find the answer to increased attendance<br />

by seeking fresh approaches in<br />

their ads. lobby and front displays and an<br />

extra seUlng push all along the line.<br />

The ShowmandLser pages contained<br />

many examples of showmen who have<br />

tried to tailor promotions to their neighborhoods<br />

by eliminating hackneyed, overused<br />

copy and time-worn appeals, thus<br />

conveying to potential customers the<br />

s|jecial appeal of the film.<br />

Others also have sought out new means<br />

to reach the buying public. The Fox<br />

Midwest circuit, developing an idea by<br />

Fred Souttar, vice-president and division<br />

manager, prepared a variable format<br />

"Movie Chatter" tabloid which featured<br />

coming attraction ads by distributors and<br />

a<br />

^tronaer ^eii for ^orei^n ^ilmd<br />

By NATHAN COHEN<br />

IN<br />

1958 the OS exhibitors wUl get more<br />

of a pitch lor playing time by overseas<br />

producers than ever before, and<br />

they will have a better selection of pictures<br />

from which to choose. Producers, both In<br />

England and In the countries producing<br />

films in languages other than English.<br />

have learned a great deal in the last few<br />

years about the kind of pictures American<br />

exhibitors are prepared to buy, and the<br />

kind of movie imports the US. fllmgoers<br />

are willing to pay for. And, they have<br />

guided themselves accordingly in mapping<br />

their productions for the market here.<br />

There are many ways in<br />

which the foreign<br />

producers will try to sell the U.S.<br />

exhibitors on giving a share of their<br />

screen time the imports. The Rank<br />

to<br />

Organization, having established a nationwide<br />

dLstribution system in 1937. is ready<br />

to move ahead on an exploitation program<br />

which will take British .stars on<br />

personal appearance tours to many sections<br />

of the country. The Japane.se are<br />

bringing their stars over, too.<br />

The French, who set up the French Film<br />

Office in 1957, have taken a big step forward<br />

in stimulating interest in the Gaelic<br />

brand of filmmaking. As they may have<br />

anticipated, it was the much-publicized<br />

"sex kitten" Brlgltte Bardot who provided<br />

the newsworthy punch which scored with<br />

columns of photo.s and copy in U.S. news<br />

and magazine pages about French moviemaking.<br />

In 1958, the French expect to<br />

coniiolldate their gains with at least a<br />

dozen Important pictures.<br />

The German film Industry, after many<br />

postwar years of fruitless attempts to<br />

crack the market here—principally because<br />

the pictures were not geared for<br />

American audiences, and the fact that<br />

adequate dLstribution facilities were not<br />

provided— has Just finished its best and<br />

most successful year In the United States<br />

since 1933 The Germans have established<br />

a promotional organization. United German<br />

Film Ent4:'rprlses, with Munio Podhorzcr<br />

as president, and are prepared to<br />

go after playdates on a larger scale than<br />

It will be these three, the Brttlsh, the<br />

French and the Germann, who will be<br />

making the top bid for playing time The<br />

Italluns, who In the postwar years, took the<br />

lead In establishing an American .sales<br />

organlzntlon. will have fewer pictures for<br />

nlfuM- here In the next year, but several<br />

of them will have the pfjwerhouse names<br />

.second annual Japanese Film Week held<br />

In January at the Museum of Modem Art<br />

in New York. Lake the Rank Organization,<br />

the Japanese industry thinks personal<br />

appearances of foreign stars are<br />

essential to stimulatmg publicity, and a<br />

half dozen of the country's most beautiful<br />

actresses have been brought here, both<br />

to<br />

be present at the Film Festival and to<br />

assist in other promotional activities.<br />

As for film imports from other countries,<br />

the supply will not be overwhelming. A<br />

Danish film, "Ordet. ' will be handled by<br />

Kingsley-International, and the Rank<br />

Film Distributors of America will release<br />

a Swedish feature, "Smiles of a Summer<br />

Night," with Harriet Andersson, Ulla Jacobson<br />

and Eva Dahlbeck. From the coproduction<br />

field, there will be a French-<br />

Spanish effort, "The Lovemaker." starring<br />

the American actress, Betsy Blair, and an<br />

Italo-Spanish feature, "The Big Whoosh,"<br />

starring Valentina Cortesa and Edmund<br />

Gwenn, both of which will be handled by<br />

Trans-Lux Film Distributing Co.<br />

Looking at the prospects for foreignproduced<br />

product in 1958, the outlook by<br />

countries shapes up as follows:<br />

ENGLAND<br />

By count of pictures already completed,<br />

under way and definitely set to go before<br />

the cameras, British producers will have<br />

an increased volume of features to .submit<br />

to U.S. audiences in 1958. The U.K. eye<br />

is still on the overseas market, not only<br />

in the J. Aithur Rank Organization, but<br />

at the independents, too, as is attested by<br />

the success of "The Curse of Frankenstein"<br />

and the British rock 'n' rollers which<br />

have come across the sea. The use of<br />

American stars in British-produced pictures<br />

is on an ever-increasing ri.se, and a<br />

number of English stars them.selves have<br />

established a strong marquee rating here<br />

in the last year or two.<br />

The Rank Organization will produce 16<br />

top-budget pictures during the year, the<br />

same number as it did in 1957. Originally,<br />

the program had been projected at 20<br />

pictures, to cost more than $14 million,<br />

but, several weeks ago, John Davis, the<br />

company's managing director, announced<br />

that four of the films, including "Macbeth,"<br />

had been delayed. One of the<br />

rea.sons given for this pastponement is<br />

that movie attendance In the United<br />

Kingdom was off 19 per cent during the<br />

year, and the apparent inability of Britishproduced<br />

films to recover their costs by<br />

Ijelng .shown In Britain alone.<br />

However, for the current year the praspects<br />

are that the curtailment in production<br />

will not affect the number of Brltlshmadc<br />

pictures to be relea.scd In this<br />

country In 1958.<br />

At the moment. Die Rank Organization<br />

In this country. Rank Film Distributors of<br />

America, hax ten pictures on schedule.<br />

Tl>e first of these, "A^•ro^s the Bridge."<br />

an international chase story based on the<br />

flight of a British financier to U.S. and<br />

Mexico, stars the American actor. Rod<br />

Steiger, and is just moving into release<br />

channels. On the calendar, too. is Betty<br />

Box's production of the Charles Dickens<br />

classic, "A Tale of Two Cities," which<br />

stars Dirk Bogarde and Dorothy Tutln.<br />

No definite date for release, however, has<br />

been set.<br />

A big production in VistaVision and<br />

Eastman Color will be "Dangerous Exile,"<br />

a historical adventure story based on the<br />

supposed escape of the boy-king of FYance<br />

during the "terror" and his exile in a<br />

Welsh coast manor. The picture stars<br />

Louis Jourdan and Belinda Lee. both of<br />

whom are known to US. audiences.<br />

Also in Eastman Color will be "Windoms<br />

Way," a broad-scale adaptation of<br />

a best-selling British novel of that name<br />

which tells the story of a doctor's devotion<br />

to the people of a southeast Asian island.<br />

It stars Peter Finch and Mary Ure. In the<br />

.same color process will come a picture<br />

featuring the well-known star Dirk Bogarde,<br />

"Campbell's Kingdom," which Betty<br />

Box has produced.<br />

On a story level which Indicates England<br />

has softened its approach to the<br />

German side of World War II Is "The<br />

One That Got Away," In which Hardy<br />

Krueger plays the true-life role of a German<br />

war ace who was the only war prisoner<br />

to escape from a World War II<br />

prison camp and return safely to his<br />

homeland.<br />

Also on the list are "Seven Thunders,"<br />

starring Stephen Boyd, James Robertson<br />

Justice and Kathleen Harrison; "The<br />

Secret Place," with Belinda Lee; "The<br />

Woman for Joe, " starring Diane Cilento,<br />

George Baker and David Kos.soff, in Technicolor<br />

and VistaVision; and "Hell Divers,"<br />

starring Stanley Baker and Peggy Cummins.<br />

In addition to the Rank productions,<br />

there has been considerable independent<br />

filminuking in England. Tlie rise of the<br />

independent producer has been one of<br />

the significant factors on the British<br />

scene in the last year.<br />

James Carreras, who made "The Curse<br />

of Frankenstein" for Warner release—<br />

picture which is expected to do a $5,000,-<br />

HIQH ROAD PRODUCTIONS... for COLUMBIA relaaaal<br />

Although It-.lian production in 1957 remained<br />

at about the 1956 level—approximately<br />

100 features— it now appears that<br />

Italian-language pictures will not be as<br />

numerous on the U.S. market as they<br />

have been in the past few years. However,<br />

on co-production deals, the Italians will<br />

be ably represented on the American<br />

screen by a number of top-budget films<br />

channeled through Columbia. MGM.<br />

Loew's and several other majors.<br />

Of the Italian-language films, one of<br />

the big ones will be "Attila the Hun."<br />

starring Anthony Quinn and Sophia Loren.<br />

which an independent distributor. Joseph<br />

Levine. will handle here. In tAvo others,<br />

which DCA has taken over, the star will<br />

be Anna Magnnni. These are "The Awakening"<br />

and "Of Life and Love."<br />

On the CO- production level. Tltanus<br />

Joined with MGM in producing Mario<br />

Lanza s new musical. "Seven Hills of Rome,"<br />

soon to go Into U.S. release. Columbia Is<br />

releasing Dlno dc Laurentlls' production,<br />

"A Wall Against the Sea." which stars<br />

the Italian actress Sllvana Mnngano. but<br />

al.so offers for marquee .strength the names<br />

of young Anthony Perkins and Jo Van<br />

Fleet.<br />

Another Itullun-mndc feature angled at<br />

the U.S. market is "Anna From Brooklyn."<br />

PRODUCERS<br />

T li I' Towel' Behind (he Scenes<br />

Unsung Heroes Who Make or Break the Pictures<br />

24 WaL 54 of Season A Ei^ JiimS<br />

vtm<<br />

IFronlersI<br />

iirHfl-HKR making motion pictures is<br />

regarded as an industry or as an art,<br />

a producer cannot remain in business long<br />

w-ithout a hit or two to his credit. When<br />

more than one hit in a season results from<br />

his business acumen, luck or a combination<br />

or several factors, he is in production<br />

clover. Since, year after year, the same<br />

names appear on this list of hit producers,<br />

the element of luck may be considered<br />

negligible. There must be a measure of<br />

know-how Involved.<br />

This year, for instance, Hal B. Wallis<br />

the oiJy producer who has lour hits to<br />

is<br />

his credit. Last year he had two, and<br />

Uiey were entirely different types of pictures<br />

than the four for this year. They<br />

had one thing in common— they pleased<br />

the public and made the exhibitors happy.<br />

Seven producers had three hits each this<br />

year compared to three with that many<br />

hits last season—none had four hits last<br />

year. Among those seven, Buddy Adler<br />

also Imd three hits in 1956-57 as did Fred<br />

Kohlmar. Pandro S. Herman, Dmo de<br />

Laurentlis and David Weisbart moved up<br />

Into the three-hit class from two hits<br />

the previous year. Sam Katzman came up<br />

from one hit last season to three hits<br />

In the 1956-57 season, as did Ross Hunter.<br />

Two-hit producers thLs year numbered<br />

17, whereas only 13 had two hits to their<br />

credit la the previous season. Thus, 24<br />

producers accounted for 54 of the season's<br />

hit pictures. LookiJit? over the list, you will<br />

•ee names that liuve become industry<br />

legends.<br />

For Instance, Darryl P. Zanuck Is repre8ent«d<br />

by two pictures In which he cho.se<br />

"<br />

off-beat themes, both with "Sun in the<br />

title "Isliuid in the Sun" has racial overtones;<br />

"Tlie Sun Also Rises" is an In-<br />

two or three pictures in one. Elia Kazan's<br />

"Baby Doll" is a controversial social document<br />

of more than trivial import.<br />

The universal enthusiasm for William<br />

Wyler's "Friendly Persuasion" is heartening<br />

for those who have the motion picture<br />

industry's best interests at heart.<br />

Such pictures as Alfred Butterfield's<br />

"Secrets of the Reef" and Ben SharjJsteen's<br />

"Secrets of Life" have more than<br />

seasonal<br />

significance.<br />

Gene Kelly's "The Happy Road" gives<br />

broader scope to the type of product that<br />

is being made. There will always be a<br />

demand for standard product but more<br />

and more people are beginning to feel the<br />

charm of special films, not alone in the<br />

art houses. Robert Ai-thur's "Man of a<br />

Thousand Faces" presented production<br />

problems that tied in with film history<br />

and it is good to have them reviewed<br />

in<br />

it.<br />

Leland Haywards "The Spirit of St.<br />

Louis" is a masterpiece of recreating a<br />

period as well as the outlook of the period.<br />

Jerome Hill's "Albert Schweitzer"<br />

sets a new pattern for the inspirational<br />

dociunentary. concentrating as it did on<br />

the essentials that made the man and<br />

determined the line his life work would<br />

take. "The Teahouse of the August Moon"<br />

gave Jack Cummings a chance to show<br />

how versatile the screeji is compared to<br />

the limitations of the stage. "Tlie Pajama<br />

Game" was an equally happy opportunity<br />

for Stanley Donen to do the same thing<br />

with<br />

it.<br />

All in all, the producers of this season's<br />

hits, whether they had one, two, three or<br />

four hits to Uicir credit can feel confident<br />

that they are raising rather than lowering<br />

the standard.s of the past. Tills is an<br />

he had perfected his technique<br />

In that field to the point where he seemed<br />

to gauge the general public's taste and<br />

current trends so that his pictures reflected<br />

these. Last season no director had<br />

that many hits to his credit and only<br />

one had three wirmers.<br />

This season, two directors can take<br />

pride in having three features which<br />

were boxoffice hits. In 1955-56. Vincente<br />

Minnclll had two hits: George Sidney<br />

had only one, but he .scored with three<br />

winners in the 1956-57 .season.<br />

In 1956-57 there were 12 directors each<br />

of whom megged two winning pictures as<br />

was the case In the i)revious year. Raoul<br />

Walsh. Richard Quine, Mervyn LeRoy<br />

and Frank Tashlin all were also in the<br />

two-hit class last .season.<br />

Directors, like the stars, are moving<br />

from one studio to the other on assignment<br />

these days, although the majority<br />

do seem to prefer a home base. Stanley<br />

Donen directed "Funny Face" for Paramount<br />

and "The Pajama Game" for<br />

Warner Bros., both excellent in execution.<br />

Frank Tashlin did Tlie Girl Cant<br />

Help It" for 20th-Pox and "Hollj'wood or<br />

Bu.st" for Paramount. Raoul Walsh made<br />

"Band of Angels" for Warner Bros, and<br />

•The King uiid Four Queens" for United<br />

ArtUt*<br />

With Billy Wilder It wa» "Love In the<br />

Afternoon" for Allied Artists and "The<br />

Spirit of St Louis" for Warner Bros.<br />

John Boultlng did "Brothers In Law" for<br />

Omtlnental and "Private's Progress" for<br />

DOA.<br />

Tliode who dlrect4.*d only one hit for<br />

thi- M-uMin need make no iiiwlogles when<br />

tlii-y dlrect4^ nuch (llnui lui George Ab-<br />

IxUfh "Tlic Pujiuna Oiunr." James Algarn<br />

"Secrctii of Life." or Prderlco Felllnl'h<br />

"Lb Stmda," to niime only a few<br />

Oth.-r ouUUuullritf ones are John Hus-<br />

I'lii ^ "lli-jivi-ri KnuwH. Mr AlllMiii." Anuu,w<br />

lUAifrl HtmKen inunt luive llptord on U>c<br />

edges of racial prejudice while directing<br />

•Island in the Sun' and Robert D. Webb<br />

had to maintain a delicate balance in<br />

•Love Me Tender" to determine public<br />

acceptance of his g>'rating star.<br />

In fact, dii-ectors these days are beset<br />

with more than the much heralded star<br />

temperaments with which they have always<br />

had to cope. Public opinion and<br />

problems of national and international<br />

tolerance have reached such proportions<br />

that the handling of a script must be<br />

approached with fear and trembling for<br />

fear someone's taboos have been violated.<br />

The old joke about making a man from<br />

Mars the villain of the piece may soon<br />

be obsolete. With all the space travel<br />

activity, who knows how soon the little<br />

man himself may show up and take<br />

umbrage at the temerity of earth people<br />

to put him in a bad light!<br />

Moreover, history is being made so fast<br />

that the motion picture built on current<br />

concepts may look almost subversive by<br />

the time the film is in the can. Then<br />

there is the problem of its being made<br />

to show in theatres all over the world.<br />

How win it be received in Igloostan or<br />

some other out-of-the-way part of the<br />

world in a few years' time? What a headache<br />

for directors that the world has not<br />

only slirunk in ti-avel time but in the<br />

time it takes for world news to reach it.<br />

The novelist and the film director always<br />

feel -safe in dealing with the past,<br />

because they have something static to<br />

work with. But now all emphasis is on<br />

the future and they have to guess what<br />

Ls coming up. As a result, the whole ix)-<br />

lltlcal picture can change so as to make<br />

several .sequences of a picture more than<br />

unjxjpular—definitely bad psychology or<br />

propaganda or what have you.<br />

All of which must be pretty hard on<br />

the nerves of a dlri-ctor who started out<br />

to make one thing and winds up with<br />

boinethlng enllifly different. Except that<br />

directors have always l)ccn laws unto<br />

themKclves and have uncanny hunches<br />

and IntultloiiH that often pay off In surprising<br />

fashion.<br />

As everyone knows, the director is the<br />

guy wheel of a picture and keeps It In<br />

balance. That he hlm.si-U l.s sometimes a<br />

Icmperuinentttl sort of fellow, Is underniandubli*<br />

That kind of Job would make<br />

anyone thol way and Its gixKl for the<br />

Mr. Cecil B. DeMille<br />

Paramount Studios, Inc.<br />

Hollywood, California<br />

Dear Mr.<br />

DeMille:<br />

I thought you would be interested to hear of the result of our req^iest to the<br />

Kivranis Club here to help defray expense for some of our older foster childi-on<br />

to attend the TEN CCWMANDMENT3 . They responded by sending us a check, and we<br />

eisked the youngsters to write us afterwards the effect the picture had on them<br />

and if they had learned anything that would help them become better and happier<br />

citizens. Ag you know, I have felt that the picture had a great potential for<br />

influencing youth to want to become better citizens, so I am quoting some of the<br />

excerpts from the letters received to prove this point.<br />

A teen-age girl : "I learned a lot. I wish I could follow the teachings<br />

of the Ten Commandments. I'm going to try very heird to do what is<br />

right."<br />

A twelve-year-old boy : "How stubborn the King Phsiroah was not to believe<br />

in a God. I liked viaen Moses called his friends in his house so they<br />

wouldn't be killed. I learned they are driven harder than I am now."<br />

A teen-age girl: "It made such an impression on me I vrant a;reiy with a<br />

fuller understanding about how the Ten Commandments cane about. No<br />

other show has ever given me such a wonderful and glorious feeling."<br />

A nine-year-old boy : "I liked the picture because it seemed so true. It<br />

made me believe more in the power of God."<br />

Please accept ray best wishes for your continued heeLLth. We know the happiness<br />

you must feel from expressing on film with such ability and vividness the basic<br />

truths of living. I hope you are making plans to make another. We need all the<br />
