NEW YORK City. Sept 17-Pa- tience and subterfuge are the chief essentials in directing animals for the movies. according to Dr. Ray mond l.. Ditmars, well known Cura- tor of Reptiles of the Bronx Zoologi- cal park here. Violence is never necessary and therefore inexcusable,p ? he says. You can get any effect you want by simple trickery.''
 Dr. Ditmars, in cooperation with Charles Urban, movie producer, is now filming the Fables of La Founs tains-those delightful old animal stories which subtly illustrate human frailities-using the animals of the zoo as actors. To make the fables effective, the animals must portray humor and tragedy. pleasure and anger ,and various other emotions quite as convincingly as human screen stars. And they do. How? That is what we asked Dr. Ditmars, and this is what he told us:
 Suppose we want to photograph a scene which shows the elephant pre- siding over a meeting of the other animals he said. According to the scenario, the elephant asks the monkey what fault he has to find with himself, and the monkey can finc none. I can swing from high limbs he boasts, and run fast, but feel sorry for the bear He is big. and clumsy and very slow, I'm told.' The elephant then turns to the bear and asks him what complaint he has to make concerning himself. The bear does not share the monkeys view. He is strong and can crush his enemies beneath his giant paws and he gets splendid rest cure every win ter, but there is the poor little fox. He feels sorry for him. The fox, how ever, feels sorry for one of his neigh bors, and so it goes on clear around the circle of animals, illustrating the human tendency to excuse ones own faults while decrying the sine of ones neighbors.
 Finally, the elephant becomes dis gusted. He must register great anger and contempt, turning wrath fully from one side of the animal group to the other. We got that bv placing man the elephant liked on one side of him and. another whom he hated on the other. It was as simple as that.
 We get bear to stand up on his hindlegs by placing on roof or ledge above him (out of the cameras view Of course) man who holds an annie in his hand. Food is the great bali. You can always get satisfactory response with it. Really a case of directing the food and letting the anil mals follow his natural bent.

Movies Made By a Naturalist
Movies of Frogs


 There are some animals which are too small and nimble to make good actors" continued Dr. Ditmars. We could not use live frogs. for instance, in one of the fables, so we had to use dead ones. Fortunately, we were able to get large number of dead frogs from an experimental laborat tory which had just used them in a stomach test The purpose of the test had been to discover what kind of insects the frogs ate, in an effort to prove whether they were or were not of value to the farmer. We'll we made our fable frogs out of a plastic substance and applied the skins of the dead ones. Then we moved them with invisible wires. I had to work all day and night on those frog scenes, because they had to be taken while the frogs were still moist. If I'd put it off until the next day, they would have been dried up and useless
 Here Dr. Ditmars was inter rupted for few moments by one of the zoo keepers, who communicated his mes sage in an agitated whisper. The geese, it seems, in one of the pools had become suddenly up-stage and refused to be trapped into posing for tte camera. They were not hungry, and would not leave their afternoon constitutional on the water for a scattering of grain.
 Let it go until morning. directed Dr. Ditmars. Don't feed them until l get there, and they will be in a conciliatory frame of mind then. Let me see, where was I ?" he said, get ting back to the interview.

 Insects" replied the doctor i'm mediately, 'because they are so small. We have to trick them. too. We wanted to get some pictures of different species of insects which sing at night. You know that the singing is performed by special organs on the wings like the bow of the fiddle. We wanted close-ups of that singing apparatus in action, but we had to take them under powerful mercury lights. and insects do not rloually sing under such conditions We finally get around this difficulty by placing decoys-other insects-in dark boxes near those under the lights. The lat- ter, hearing loud songs issuing from the dark security of the boxes, were fooled into replying, and the camera man secured some excellent pictures.
 Some of the most Interesting in- sect pictures we have obtained are of ants.' continued Director Ditmars.

 Evangelist Speaks
 While Adam was not created i'm nortal, but rather subject to death. yet 1t was not Gods plan that he snoulc die" said Evangelist Roy L. Benton last night in a sermon at the Present Truth" tent north of the Glendale city park.
 The speaker declared that Adam was nearly twice as tall as men of our day and that Eve was of the same proportions
 Speaking of Gods original purpose in the creation of this world. he said: This earth and both man and beast upon It were all made for the glory or the Maker; had our race been obedient to Gods government, there never would have been a death. a sick bed or a funeral Man would have lived on and on, the whole earth would have been converted into Eden gardens like the pattern made by God. and this earth would have been replenished (properly filled) with men and women, beautiful birds and all manner of creatures. all of which would continue to glorify God ages upon ages.
 While this original plan has been thwarted by sin. yet it is Gods mind to carry out this original scheme, not Tn sin but by overcoming sin, and when the controversy ends this earth will be renewed in Eden's beauty and filled with righteous people from every nation. kindred and tongue"

We are one thousand strong in
Shawnee. Good Americans uphold the

good Americans. We will clean Shaw
nee when the time is ripe. Bootleg
