CORNELL PREPARING
FOR Big REGATTA
lthacan Oarsmen Figure on Close
Races Next Month with Har-
ward and Tigers.

Ithaca, N. Y. May 12.-Although the
high water, rain and high winds have
retarded the development Of the Cornell
crews, the three varsity and two fresh
men eights are rowing on Lake Cayuga
every day now and are making steady
progress.
The Cornell coaches are impressed by
the showing of the Harvard and Prince
ton crews in their early races. and are
convinced that the Cornell eights will
have to hustle to win from the Crimson
and Tigers in the races scheduled for
next month.
The first change IN the varsity eight
since It was organized in February oc-
CURED the other day. Fernow was moved
from No. 7 to bow. the seat he held at
Poughkeepsie last year. Brewer was
moved from No. in the Junior varsity
TO No. IN the first eight, and Morgan
was sent back to bow in the Junior eight
The new rowing order Of the varsity
follows: Fernow, bow; Bird, No. 2;
Lund, No. 8: Andrus, No. 4; Worn, No. g.;

OARSMEN ARE READY
FOR BIG REGATTA

Philadelphia, May 12.-when the
Harvard, Princeton and Syracuse
shells slipped into the Schuylkill today
for snappy spins in preparation for
the American Henly regatta here to-
morrow afternoon the historic river
Graded every collegiate and club crew
which will row in the classic.
Crews from all Eastern colleges are
here, with the exception of Cornell,
which did not enter this year. In ad-
dition there are a score or more oars
men from New York and Boston boat
clubs.
The Childs cup race, between CO.
lumbia, Penn, Princeton and Navy, is
causing unusual speculation. Critics
are doing very little talking as to the
outcome. While all the eights are rec
ognized as fast combinations. II Is
pointed out Princeton defeated Har-
ward, Penn outdistanced Yale and the
Middies beat the Quakers. Columbia
is the dark horse. not having raced
this season.
So many eights will be in the jun
ior collegiate race for the New Eng
land cup that IL will be necessary
to row the events in two heats.

OUT ON LOCATION.

went to Japan for the Madam But
terfly" picture. That had always been
my dream, but when our studio came
from California to New York, Japan
dissolved into the dim, romantic dis
tance. For Japanese location, we
drove only sixty miles from the New
York studio, but that was the ride
which faced US morning and evening
Tor several weeks. 1t was to a beau
tltul estate, an artistic replica of a
japanese garden, which had been
tended for so many years by native
gardeners that even the most obscure
plants were essentially those of old
Japan.
If the scenario describes the action
as taking place in summer, we can
not show our actors and actresses
wearing furs or walking through
streets where the snow is banked
against the sides of the houses, but we
are transferred to some of the South
ern cities for all OF the exteriors. IT
doesn't matter where the interiors are
taken, as they are mostly studio sets
Marvellous tricks have been done
on the screen which have fooled even
the professions, who thought them
beautiful country exteriors, but were
later informed they were built upon
the stage in the studio. Sometimes
this latter course is cheaper than
and just as successful as taking A
large company over many miles OF
country through many different
states.

nary to the summong Of witnesses The
last three days have been consumed al
most entirely by attorneys for the gov

against Treasury officials a year ago.
With the reading OF the affidavit Of
fered in the injunction hearing by

Of few brief documents, the govern

day were granted a second subpoena
directing Comptroller of the Currency
John SHELTON Williams to produce an ad-
ditional bank examiners report into the
trial The official was subpoenaed Thurs
day for Treasury correspondence and a
report of Bank Examiner Ham made in

90 MANY people are eager to
- know what we mean when we
say we are going out on To-
cation to take a picture and why we
have to travel to the North for one
or two scenes and to the South for
three or four more.
If our studio is in New York and
scenes in part of the story are laid
in Arizona, we have to travel to that
part OF the country nearest to New
York which will photograph atmos-
pherically like Arizona.
There are some stretches in Flor
ida where the vegetation looks as if
the geography had intended it to be
the Southwestern desert wastes; then,
again, we only have to travel a few
miles farther to strike highly tropi-
cal oases.
In California, more of the moving
picture studios are located in the
southern part of the state, within a
short ride of the high mountains,
the burning deserts, the crooked in
land rivers and the great caves beat
en- into the shore by the force of the
ocean breakers. 1t does not involve
much of journey to find the desert
environment there or abe other ex-
treme, rugged pictures taken in the
snow Of the high mountains. Even
society plays are put on to great ad-
vantage in the beautiful, luxuriant
suburbs of Los Angeles. 1t is true
they have the advantage over US in
winter, especially as we have to go
South for all of the scenes which are
not those of snow-capped winter.
Looking over some plays the other
day, l was interested in making note
OF how scattered the artists of our
studio would be when all of the COM
panies were at work upon these diff
ferent stories. One of them called for
scenes laid in Alaska. For the ex-
teriors they will probably go to the
Adirondack mountains, near Saranac
Lake, where the snow lies almost as
deep during the winter as it does in
the great Northwest.
Another play had its drama laid in
the coal mines, and the company will
travel to Scranton, Pa, for wonder
tul, interesting scenes taken in Amer
ica's largest coal mine, while another
play involves the social life of the
South. This means that a company
will migrate to Virginia, and as part
OF the picture tells of the life of the
mountain folk, when they have finish
ed taking the beautiful plantations
they will go to the peaks of the
Blue Ridge. There, from dazzling
heights, will they photograph the
valleys, which are resplendent now
because spring is on the wingl
In my last play, "Hulda From Hol-
land; we had to look for exteriors
IN this country which resemble the
geography Of Holland, and, strange
ly enough, we found what we wanted
at Bridgehampton, Long Island.
