Frank J. Godsol of the
Goldwyn _ Company
Declares t e Lack of
Stars and Directors
Part of Cause

Frank J. Godsol. president of the
Goldwyn Pictures Corporation. in
an interview yesterday. gave his
views on the reasons for the high
cost of motion picture production
in this country.

Lack of sufficient stars. shortage
of suitable directors. and the ex~
prose of distribution of films to
exhibitors are given by God-oi u
some of the outstanding features.
lie docs not believe the situation
can be relieved by the tempornry
shutting down of studios.

Godsol said:

"I have always refained from
giving interviews or issuing state-
month about the picture industry.
as I feel the public is not interest-
ed in what I might have to say.
Besides. nothing that has appeared
in the press about the ills of the
industry has helped to cure them.

In Pessimistic Mood

"I have again been asked for a
statement. and I now feel like ox-
prt-sslng my views. although with
very little hope of any good result-
ing.

"Much has been said about the
present high cost of production.
High cost of production .exists and
should be remedied. But nothing
will he gained by any plan so far
suggcstcd.

"Cost is simply a. question of
supply and demand of material and
labor.

“There are too few leading film
urtlsls. outstanding directors, con-
tinuity writers, art directors and
others for the yearly production of
plctun-s. with the result thst all
producers arc continually bidding
for tho sumo pcwlc.

“This cannot be remedied by
i-‘nlpurzlrlly shutting down studios.
inacuusn as soon as the studios ro-
opux the producers will again start
fishing out of the some pond and
sulurics will again soar.

Too Much Time Used.

“Another fundamental factor en-
v-ring into the high cost is the un-
ueccssury extra time taken by dir-
ectors in the production of their pic-
tures. This is and has been difficult
to ot—niroi, because of the arbitrary
attitude assumed by the present in!
director of importance. >

"There are also the large carry-
ing and overhead charges. which can
only in: fairly absorbed by greater
lusi- :ul of lesser production.

"In ui’y opinion. high cost of pro-
duction is not an issue for the indus-
try collectincly. but for each produ-
cer to individually solxc, and it can
only be accomplished by the individ-
uni developing unknown artists and
lty the employment of htlcclebruted
.«llrcciors on reasonable terms who
“ill agree to (ind'will shoot their
picturus within a'limlted number of
duys.

“To-day. in 111

 

 

motion picture in-
iai issue is wheth-
vr or not. the producer is ’to receive
fair and reasonable prices for his
picture.

No Remedy There.

"if rental prices come down with
.1. reproduction in costs the produ-
cer wlll be no better off than now.

"Exhibitors have merged their :no
forests in a great many cities. with
the result that all the theatres are
in the control of one man or one
group or men. In many other centres
Hwy have formed booking combina-
tions. All to force the producer to
accept rental prices arbitrarily fixed
by the exhibitor.

”Why do not the producers take
action-not talk—to destroywbis
danger, the greatest menace to the
picture industry? ,

“At present there are a. few" so-
callcd competitive points. where the
exhibitor is required to pay more
than the true Value for pictures to
make up partly for the producers'
forced underrelllng in other towns.
This is unfair to that exhibitor and
is unsound business.

"Pictures should be sold every.

 

 

where for what they are worth-
no more and no less—and to en-
able the exhibitor and the pro-
ducer each to make a fair profit
and their respective investments.
Get Them Dirt Cheap.
"At present there are exhibitors
in dozens of large controlled cities
getting pictures at a. mere fraction
of their value.
“This serious situation is well
known to all producers. and in my
opinion it is only the vanity of the
heads of the larger producing com-
panies which permits this condition
to cxhlst and will permit it to con-
linuo until it strangle: them. It
seems to me these executives are
sitting back. each thinkhg they Will
weather the storm, and that all their
competitors will go bankrupt. when
they will then single-handed stomp
i: this evil.
ou“Another important element is the
cost of distribution. Why should
there be ten offices in each of thirty
cities. with thousands of employee
selling the same kind of merchan-
disc to the same customers? Others
have elready made. suggestions to
ed this.
rerun: cost of distribution can be
reduced one-half and the saving ap-
plied in reduction of film rentals.
"All of these unsound conditions
can be remedied if three. or. four
distributing companies. or more if
others should choose to join, distri-
t one. ,
bu e aau'onid m Dictation.
“Joint distribution would put an
end so the dictedon of prices by ex-

hibitors. sufiicient number of vice

hands of one a;
tributlng ‘ agency. 'exhibltors w

persisted in their present strangl-
ing methods would soon and-them-
selves facing g shorter. of good pio-
lure! and they would then be

cutive. This was the spectacular
and amazing climax of his iron-
hsnded fight. in which he defied
tho Ku Klux Klan.

Not only was he found guilty

tion in office. but was adjudged to
have been incompetent and to have
violated flagrantly the constitution-
al laws in connection with his pur-
don and parole record.

Oklahoma Territorv with the
sturdy "nightymlners." becomes
