Paramount Hnlly- By Jimmie Fidler I doff my bonnet repectfully to Jimmy Roosevelt for his courage in undertaking one of 1 most difficult assignments the establishment of a pension plan and more particularly a pension fund movie workers There's a crying need for such a aystem This town is filled to overflowing with passe studio worke'rs of all kinds who are out of work and penniless The Motion Picture Relief fund a direct charity hasj never been an ideal solution for their problems It is both an invitation to chiceler3 and an insult to those who by work well done have earned something more than a back-door handout Mr Roosevelt plans to raise a fund of from four to five millions by taxing studios one-half of one per cent of each picture's a tax which represent in the case of the major plants from $150-000 a year to $300000 With theater returns at i heir lowest ebb in seven years he will undoubtedly have trouble in levying that large a contribution but if he has the courage to make an issue of and I think he has he may be able to do it The thing that stumps me is how or anyone can devise a just- scheme for distributing the pensions This business is unlike any other Movie Back and forth be- tween the screen and the stage Production crews work on a pic-ture-to-pidure basis and often remain idle for weeks at a time And movie careers are short How will the pension administrators rule between an office worker who has been employed steadily for 20 years and an actor whose services though packed into a five-year period may have been just as valuable? I'm not a bom pessimist-but I think Jimmy has undertaken a Herculean job If he succeeds he deserves the plaudits of everyone in Hollywood Love" With its instant success he changed overnight from "plunger" to "prophet" and a populaf cycle began It remained for Schertzinger to enter a new field the unexplored whimsy pageantry and lilt of Gilbert and Sullivan For "The Mikado" which opened Thursday at the Paramount theater is the first of these loved operettas to reach the screen And it too early to say that he has reached out to a great and enthusiastic audience once more Salt Lake movie-goers turned out en masse to sit back and enjoy Nanki Poo Yum-Yum Koko and others of their merry company through a medium that has made every lyric clear every chorus a deep and satisfying thrill Sound picture technique with careful rehearsal has given the production rounded perfection Every line registers The full flavor of the satire reaches the audience perhaps for the first time unhampered by ac coustical -limitations The real touch of genius however remains in the fact that Schertzinger was unsatisfied with black and white He insisted upon technicolor and he has achieved the ultimate in creating striking effects The Oriental background na- and every act has been designed with an artist's true-understanding of color After touring companies and amateur players the cast is highly satisfying The D'Oyly Carte chorus with its incomparable tradition provides many delightful moments Martyn Green who understudied Sir Henry Lytton and has made a great Koko for vear?
