We just had fir funning of The Sheik in its final and complete form and rarely have I seen a more fascinatingly beautiful romantic and dramatic spectacular production Melford has far surpassed any picture he has ever made for us and we can safely get behind The Sheik for the very biggest kind of money The subject will have a tremendous appeal to public and will be box-office winner everywhere I am simply delighted with this production kindest regards.

LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
IMPROVEMENTS KEGESSARY AT GAL I POM IA STUDIOS
LASKY STUDIO — The following improvements are absolutely necessary
and the work should he started at the dates mentioned
opposite the various items. If these expett&ilures are
approved, it will mean that we can take care of our entire
output of pictures in the Lasfcy Studios throughout the
winter without any extraordinary hardship and without
losing time on account of rain and other "conditions that
are now a real and immediate handicap to successful and
economical operation of the studios —-
WORK SBOULD START
Glass Roof for Stage Bo. 4 110 x 286 — July 1st
Biffussrs for Stage So. 4 ——■—- August
Rewiring Stage No. 4 —— ■—— ■——— July 1st
Total Cost of Rewiring —■ #19,500.00
Less Gable and conduit on hand 9.500.00
REALART STUDIO — If the money for the following items can be sulhw
or i zed we could arrange for the Real art Studio to take
care of all its stars so that Realart pictures would be
made under one roof. This would reduce the cost of
Realart productions to a minumum and would give the product!]
department perfect control over the quality and cost of
these popular priced pictures* As we are practicing at
present, we are making Realart pictures in an organization
keyed up to make a much higher grade and more e^enslve
product than is necessary for Realart and we are thus force4
to spend more on these productions than we ordinarily
would do if they were housed in their own studio*.
