GOLDWYN TO HAVE STUDIOS OVERSEAS Ralph Fee McCullough Announcement of the coming of Samuel Goldwyn to Los Angeles, has suddenly de- veloped at the Goldwyn studio in Culver City an army of ambitious globe trotters. The cause is. the recent announcement by Samuel Goldwyn in New York on his arrival from Europe that he had concluded arrange- ments while abroad, to open studios in Eng- land and France. While English and French , it is said, are to be employed in making the pictures in the respective coun- tries, it has been intimated that to each country will be sent from here a complete studio organization to carry American meth- ods into the making of these films. So, at the Culver City studio, the an- nouncement of Mr. Goldwyn’s coming has caused no little excitement. Directors, cam- eramen, artists, designers, mechanics, ac- countants—all are discussing the possibil- ity of being selected to go to London or to Paris. Mr. Goldwyn’s trip to the West Coast fol- lows so closely on his arrival from the Con- tinent that he has been credited with no statement as yet concerning the plans of distributing manufacturing activities throughout the organization now enlarged to include studios in New York, London and Paris. It is not improbable that by the time he has reached Los Angeles he will have formulated a statement in this regard.

This feature is for the guidance of scenario writers who have something to sell, but who do not know just where to take it. CAMERA! keeps this column for announcements by the various studios. Some of the matter stands from week to week as a reference guide. It will be noted that many of the studios do not wish scenarios submitted by any one; some want syn- opses only; others wish the continuity written. As the difficulties of the past year in regard to the submission of scenarios no longer exist, it is safe for any one with a good idea to send scen- arios to any company mentioned in this column. While this paper is not responsible for the use or misuse of scenarios by the companies listed, it believe that any scenario sent to any of the companies will receive honest and prompt treat- ment. Any action to the contrary will receive full publicity if reported to this office.
