5. Fit to Win Article, Center of Newspaper, Lewis Milestone Signed to Direct Lloyd's Next: Through arrangements completed by John L. Murphy, production manager of the Harold Lloyd corporation, and Jack Warner, of Warner Brothers, Lewis Milestone, one of the most successful of the newer group of young directors, was signed direct Harold Lloyd's next picture, which will go into production soon. Milestone was picked from a score of prominent directors who sought to handle the megaphone on this comedy which will be Lloyd's second under his Paramount releasing contract. It was Milestone who directed Thomas Melghan in "The New Klondike." Milestone comes, to Lloyd equipped with a thorough training in almost every branch of picture making and his signing by Lloyd is consistent with the comedian's policy of surrounding himself with young men who can readily absorb hia method of comedy productions. With the building of an entire mountain town on the Lasky Ranch, where much of the action of his newest story is laid, Lloyd is about ready, to start the sootingon the successor of "For Heaven's Sake." Part of the picture will be shot in Feather River canyon in Northern California, but location work will remain until the end of the production. Jobyna Ralston, contrary to other reports, is to play opposite Lloyd again. Her contract with the spectacled comedian has another picture to run.
