Public Clamors For Comedies By ERSKINE JOHNSON NEA Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (NEA) "America today wants to laugh but Hollywood is -making .too many heavy pictures. There just aren't enough comedies. Hollywood Holly-wood has forgotten that the people peo-ple want to laugh." That's the latest word from the average small community thea ter owner. "Give us comedies," they're yelling. "That's what the people want to see." Hollywood hopes to stop the wailing by fall. Nearly 100 films with comedy themes are in production pro-duction or in the writing stages. Harold Lloyd's latest movie, "The Sin of Harold Diddlebock,' will be released under a new title. The reason: After several showings in the east, Producer Harold Hughes said the title killed family trade because parents par-ents misinterpreted the word "sin." Harold's sin in the picture pic-ture is buying a circus after one too many drinks. tract favorable attention than; Clark Gable's early "line" was even a bathing lady. an electric one.

Last year we completed 44,408,000 long distance calls, nearly 20 more than in any year before!

So, it seems, do a majority st our stars and featured players. Not every complex contained in the present crop of pictures is unpleasant. Walter Huston's feel for the lme of gold in "Treasure of the Sierra Madre," for example, ex-ample, is an understandable and quite normal reaction. Like "Dream Girl," it will deal with a mental escape, from psychological psychologi-cal problems. Sydrey Greenstreet as Evan Llewellyn Evans in "The Hucksters' Huck-sters' is a neurotic of a different differ-ent :ype, funny only to those whr, unlike Clark Gable, don't hae to come in personal contact vi:h him.
