GERMAN IRIDIUM PRODUCTION LOW

Berlin, March 25-Once the chief producer of radium, Germany now has barely enough to meet medical needs of the great universities. There is only one gram of radium in all Berlin, and proportionately even less at Heidelberg and other university cities
 The shortage, is said to be due to the fact that karnothit, used in the manufacture of radiun. is no longer imported from America. The Ger : mans say the United States could supply plenty of karnothit, but in view of the low purchasing power Of the mark the Germans cannot afford 10 buy it.

Who Is She? Ouija Wouldn't
 Tell-Do YOU Know9

.'No-nonoi'' snapped Ouija, quick ly. "You are egoist-think every body talk about you. I talk about Juliet She1byI''
 "Oh," breathed the star, and for once in her life she didn't know just what to register, for an expression of intense relief and a long, mad, proud look at the too, too frank little Ouija were struggling for possession of her features at that moment The next day she gave the board away to the elevator boy. saying that she doesn't believe a thing it says. It makes her nervous, anyhow!
 This is palpably a press story, but it was so good that the editor of this page took a .chance at printing it In case you don't know who this lit tie star is, we'll give you a little more info then we'll run her name the last thing in the story.
 This little girl, whose picture is above, was born in Shreveport, La, April 1, 1920-so you see she is quite young and she can't help it if she's full of funt for. remember the old song:
 "A girl that born on an April day
 Has right to be merry and glad
 some, gay;
 And that is the reason l sing and
 play
 And am free as a mote in a sunny
 Wouldn't you,
 Do it, too,
 If you had been born on an April
 day?''
 This little piece of April Folly made her debut when she was five years old, appearing with Nat Goodwin in Cameo Kirby" She has been before the public ever since, and has never attended school, her lessons being taught to her by a private tutor back stage and at her home, between per formances.
 Changed Her Name
 While playing in Chicago in ''The I.ittlest Rebel,''- the little star was obliged to change her name-she had been using her own family name at that time. This name was Juliet Shelby. But the Child Labor com mission ruled that no actress under sixteen could appear on the stage in Chicago. So Juliet Shelby assumed the name of her cousin who would have been sixteen if she had lived she had been dead a few years. Now what is the stage name of this little star? Her picture is above. Who do YOU think she is? First right answer will get two passes to the Plaza theatre. Put on you thinking caps, and tell the Amusement Editor.
 Who is JULIET SHELBY?

What They Ask

Question: Why does a director take a single scene two or three times? Why are two or thre camer- as used at times?
 Answer: For any Paramount pie ture, it is necessary that the director make two negative exposures of every scene. One of these negatives is shipped abroad and prints are made from it for the foreign market. The other is retained in the United States and prints are made therefrom to sup ply the various exchanges, which, in turn, supply the exhibitors within their respective territories Often, two cameras are used and then, of course, it is necessary to film the scene only once. When scene is to be taken wherein some property is to be broken, or when other circur1- stances. hazardous or otherwise, make make only one exposure, several cam eras are put on the scene so that two good negatives will be secured. The scene is then rehearsed in part, sev- eral times before it is actually filmed.
 Oftimes, however, regardless of the necessary to take that scene several times. This is because some par Ocular stunt or difficult result is be- ing strived for The result might be achieved on the first effort and then again it might not be attained until several attempts have been made. The only thing the director can do is to keep on trying over and over again, with at least two cam eras recording each attempt, so that when the scene is finally successfully made. there will be two gold nega- tives depicting that scene
 An example of this was provided in Roscoe Arbuckle's new Paramount starring vehicle, 'Brewster's MilHons," recently completed at the Lasky stu dio. In a scene in that picture, MT. Arbuckle, playing a steamship office clerk, rushes into the office a half hour late for work, hears his boss coming in another door, throws his hat across the office to a hat rack. where it lands upon a hook, and then rushes to his desk and gets seated at his work, just as the boss en- ters the door. The difficulty was to throw the hat so it would catch and remain on the hook of the hat rack Two cameras turned on this scene about twenty times before it was successfully made.
