We wanted to make pictures that would appeal to a superior class ot people. So we starred Geraldlne Farrar 'Joan, tho Woman, and when that picture played at the Strand in New York, we wera delighted to see people in dinner coats drive up to the theater.

Four million customers aren't enough to pay for a picture." Mr. Goldwyn broke away from Paramount to form the Goldwyn Pictures corporation. Then Interna! disorders caused hit withdrawal from tbat organization, and he allied himself with First National, and subsequently with United Artists.

In those days undertakers knew nothing about embalming. They carted heavy tubs of ice and an "ice box" Into the homes of the dead, and used much heavy -black draperies to add to the somber surroundings in the deafli chamber. Their horses and hearses were plumed and netted, and thera was much of the "show" at a funeral.

Profit Is Shown Gross collections in the municipal courts for 1925 was $203,631.81 of which $43,451.45 was the state and county share, or a balance of for the city's general fund. From this the budget, said to it less than $50,000, is deducted leaving a net profit of more than $110,000. Despite the suspension of fines for donations to the clerk hire, the net revenue this year will exceed that of last year by several thousands of dollars but will not exceed the expectations made by the administration when the budget was prepared last year, according to Burt Mil, finance director. He declared that while he had heard lha two clerks had been paid through donations to a special clerk hire fund, the matter had never come to his attention officially.
