HEADLINES.
Motion pictures reflect today's news-paper-headlines. While Oscar Appleknocker back "at home is reading about the launching of the Queen Mary, the world's largest ocean liner, they are building a replica of it on a Hollywood motion picture set. This was disclosed by Arthur Hornblow, jun., veteran motion picture producer who is currently producing Paramount's latest Carole Lombard-Fred Mac Murray romance, "The Princess Comes Across," the action of which is laid aboard a gigantic transatlantic luxury liner "Newspapers are the best guide to mass entertainment. They influence the trend of motion pictures just as they did the theatre in the days when it constituted mass entertainment before being supplanted by film," Hornblow declared. "When gangsters were rampant on the front pages of every newspaper Hollywood was turning out gangster and G-men films. This was followed by an era of air pictures when aeroplanes and aviation were "hot news." What will come next, we cannot tell, but it will probably coincide with or anticipate the headlines."
