Movie theaters throughout United States are faced with a dilemma.
"Having accustomed patrons to a double feature policy, and often
throwing In bank night for- good measure, they find themselves con
fronted with a shortage of films. As a result, they are forced to
substitute quantity for quality and Hollywood is hard-pressed to
turn out its quota of 600 features a year and make them keep up to
standard. Samuel Goldwyn is one of the major producers who has
long criticized the situation and his protest is now supported by
many moviegoers who are tired of sitting through mediocre bills
which are endurance tests but hardly good entertainment. Conse
quently, many predict a return to the single feature program and
more care and artistic effort on the part of Hollywood.

the report gate an account of her
stewardship as general guardian
for her two daughters, Adeie, 18,
and Marilyn, 13.
Nine years ago, Davis wrote.
Mrs. Laiken'a husband, Frank,
separated from her. He disap
peared. She made inquiries about
him but they were fruitless. She
remembered, though, he often
had said he would go to Europe,
and so in June, 1929, when the
heard one "Noach Goldberg" had
died in Vienna, she began an in
vestigation.
She appealed to the Polish
consul here. She told him she
was conyinced Goldberg was Lai-
ken. The consul was plainly ikep-
ical. Eventually be was con
vinced.
But Goldberg had left only a
few hundred dollars, and that
puzzled Mrs. Laiken, for her hus
band had been a prosperous man
The Polish consulate in Ven
na took up the matter of Gold
berg's identity, and since it was
necessary to settle his affairs de
cided to sell his few assets.
These included tha wooden
leg. The vice consul himself had
a wooden leg, but Goldberg's
looked better. The vice consul
thought he would like to buy it.
In trying to fit it on, he touch
ed a hidden spring. Out came
88 11,000 bills. Some time later
Goldberg was positively identi
fied as Laikin.
Because of an Austrian decree,
forbidding the sending 'of money
out of the country, Mrs. Laikin
has had difficulty getting the for
tune, although a cdurt order
awarded her one-fourth , as wid
ow, and the rest to her children.
To date they have received $45,
560, Davis reported.
