"Crime Does Not Pay" Series Cradle Of Talent
“PRIME DOES NOT PAY” is a series of short story films of which we see a great deal but do not read much. It is, however, an important trainingground for young actors and technicians. Robert Taylor, to name one, made his first screen appearance in a “Crime Does Not Pay” film. The man who has directed all these films for the past two years, Harold S, Bucquet, has just been promoted by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to be a feature director. His first full-length film is “Young Dr. Kildare,” with Lew Ayres, Lionel Barrymore, and Lynne Carver. Rumours About Chaplin's Next Film rpHERE is speculation, as is iuevitX able, on whether Charlie Chaplin will speak in his next- film, which, it is rumoured, (all predictions about Chaplin are most safely regarded as rumours) will be a satire on dictatorship. The present report is that he will speak, but (as he sang iu “Modern Times”) not intelligibly. He will be imprisoned in a concentration camp and will struggle without success to speak his fellow-prisoners’ language.
