THE MOVIE COMPANIES CUT DOWN PRODUCTION Fewer and Better Films the Slogan of the Big Concerns. .. New York, Dec. 29.--A radical change in motion picture production {dn the United States for the coming [or was announced yesterday by adders inthe industry. The chief aspect of the re-adjustment is a marked curtailment in production already started. The reduction is of a slashing order, as most of the pro- ducing concerns have set out to cut their production fifty per cent. Some big concerns have laid off more than t'proportion 'of studio companies, The Herald says that among those film corporations who are known to be cutting down on production, re- ducing the number of actors and studio help.employed and in some in- stances shutting up plants entirely are the Famous Players--Lasky, Goldwyn, Fox, Metro, Vitagraph and Universal, constituting the biggést array of motion picture forces. In Los Angeles, the chief photo- play producers' centre in the world, more than 50,000 actors and others connected with the industry are now out of work. In the east this'freez- ing up" of the movie field already has caused $ife suspension of the film activities of hibh salaried persons es- timated to number 5,000 connected with the trade either as actor, tech- nical assistant or film handler. "Fewer and better pictures" is the slogan now adopted by practically every film producing company, both here and in California. A lowering of the importance of the individual star is generally considered a con- comitant with this, and the'long lines of optimistic persons besieging'studio doors in tho hope of becoming screen stars have less chance than ever es- pecially with a retrenchment on. the number of players engaged. .

The gathering of a team of hoc- key stars, even though they did ar- rive in the town before August 1st, as provided by the regulation; was a mistake. Obedience to that rule does not necessarily make a player eligi- ble to O.H.A. competition, nor does tt make it imperative for the associa- tion to issue that player a certificate. How many of the tourists who have changed their places of abode since the last hockey season, and who have since been unable to get players' cer- tificates, will be in their new places of abode throughout the winter?
