Edward Everett Horton will produce two comedies for release by Paramount during the next season. They will be two-reclers, titled "Call Again" and "Vacation Waves." The work of Mary Nolan in "A Man's Past" and "The Foreign Legion" has been of such a pronounced dramatic character that Uni- versal has decided to make her a fcatured lead. The first picture in which she will be featured is "Come Across" by Charles W. Taylor, Martin G.' Cohen, in charge of Tiffany-Stahl's editorial 'depart- ment, is now busily engaged in editing "The Ghetto" in which George Jessel plays the leading rgle, and "Marriage of Tomorrow," a sensa- tional picture of companionate marriage, Nothing but ultra-modernist furniture and futuristic clothes are used in "Our Dancing Daughters," for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which features Joan Crawford, Dorothy Scbastian, Anita Page, Johnny Mack Brown and Nils Asther. r The adventures of a typical trout fisherman are depicted in the first portion of "Thoughts While Fishing," "Silver Shadows," Robert C, Bruce Outdoor Sketches to be released by Educational, Bebe Daniels, Paramount star, has moved into a rented house at Santa Monica for the summer. The home on the beach which she is huilding for Rerself will not be completed for two months, and from her temporary location she can keep an eye on construction, While the search for Ravenal and Magnolia goes on, the produc- tion department at Universal City is trying to secure from some actor's library or antique shop scripts of "The Minister's Bride" and "Tempest and Sunshine" which have been actually in use. They are to serve as properties in the back-stage scenes of "Show Boat." With the filming of "The Grain of Dust," "The Albany Night Boat" and "Beautiful But. Dumb," Tiffany-Stahl announce that this completes their producing schedule for 1927-28. 4 As soon as Jean Hersholt and Edward. Sloman finish with "The Girl on the Barge" they will start production of "The Braggart." This is an original screen story by Benjamin Kutler for which the continuity was written by Charles Kenyon, Polly Moran played her 57th variety of role with Lon Chaney, as the landlady in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's "While the City Sleeps."

This cleverness is not alone' con- fined to his many outstanding roles as the leading character star of the cinema but includes his unusual ability to handle the money he earns ftom his screen work, Hersholt's salary is quite large and he saves a good percentawe of it. He has invested heavily in California real estate and also in stocks and bonds. All of his property is worth a great deal more now than when he bought it, Hersholt has acquired a large block of stock on the Bank of West Hol- lywood and is a director, not only of that organization but of several other large Hollywood banking insti- tutions, If he should ever decide to retire from the screen he would find him- self in an enviable financial position. Many stars, some of whom get a larger salary than Hersholt, would figd themselves practically destitute if they should suddenly retire, The supporting cast of "13 Wash- ington Square" includes George Lewis, Helen Foster, Zasu Pitts, Helen Jerome: Eddy, Jack McDonald and Jerry Gamble. Melville Brown directed the screen version of New York's successful mystery-comedy play. .
