BIOGRAPHIES FASHIONABLE
SOME INTERESTING SUBJECTS AHEAD. What is to be the type of production that the coming year will bring is in the melting pot until the film moguls decide what the new trend will be. *Last year it may have been comedies. This year it may be biographies. Next year —who knows? It does appear, however, that the cycle is definitely headed towards bio-
graphics, with drama coming a good second. Already listed at the RKO Studios are the life story of Nurse Edith Cavell; a biographical story of Father Damien, a picture which holds more than ordinary interest; the exploits of Kitchener; whilst other studios are planning films based on the life of Madame Curie, Queen Elizabeth, and others. So it certainly looks as if biographies are on the way up. Romantic comedy—that is, of the crazy type—does not seem to figure quite so much as it has during the past 12 months.
