...Schenck, chairman of Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp., seated appropriately on a hotel divan between his brother, President Nicholas Michael Schenck of Loew's, Inc., and the president of Gaumont-British, Isidore Ostrer, announced a three-way Gaumont deal (TIME, Aug. 3). Nick Schenck's Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Loew's production subsidiary, was going to buy one-half of Twentieth Century-Fox's minority interest in the Gaumorit-British holding company. This was to be followed by a complicated reshuffle of shares be tween the Brothers Schenck, Isidore Ostrer and his numerous brothers, by which...

...Author Wodehouse's books to receive adequate screen adaptation. That the cinema has never properly utilized his work is a misfortune which may soon be corrected. Five years ago, after his first professional visit to Hollywood, Author Wodehouse expressed remorse for having "cheated" his employers (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) by accepting $104,000 for a year's work which consisted of "touching up" two stories. Last week, accompanied by Mrs. Wodehouse, two Pekinese, and a new typewriter to replace the 25-year-old one on which he had written 25 novels and innumerable other works, Author Wodehouse arrived...
...Longest Night (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) is the first production effort of shrewd, satchel-faced Sam Marx, erstwhile MGM story editor, super-supervised by Lucien Hubbard. Why such a product should call for twin entrepreneurs remains mysterious, since The Longest Night is designed rather for the Saturday morning diversion of schoolchildren than for the august judgment of the cognoscenti. It is a reasonably brisk embodiment of what neighborhood houses expect from a murder in a department store, including fun in the firearms department, wax dummies that come alive and slap policemen on the shoulder, pistol shots from a secret elevator...
...Hutch (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). Cinemaddicts who have felt that Wallace Beery's specialty of pawing at his chest, wrinkling his forehead, scuffing his toes and wiping his rubbery face with the palm of his hand, received too little footage in his previous pictures should be delighted by Old Hutch. It contains practically nothing else. Adapted by George Kelly from a Garret Smith story unearthed from the Saturday Evening Post files for February 1920, it shows what happens to a smalltown ne'er-do-well when he comes on a robber's cache of $100,000. Climax...
