Variety, 1930 Nov. 12, p. 4, col. 5.  Microfilm.

"Universal will not foreignize 'Half Gods.' George Melford, slated to
meg, has been switched to 'Boudoir Diplomat.' Arthur Gregor, who was
to direct the latter, is off the payroll temporarily. He will return
to make the Spanish "Resurrection."

"foreignize" sense 2. (trans.), postdates OED2 --1894.
