in the movies for two years or more. is
now being featured in Gus Edwards ia
nous story. "School Days. 1t will be
seen on the screen in September.
AS one of the foremost features of

hair and freckles will be brought before
the public in their natural color. This
has been made possible by the invention
of an entirely new process which has re =
Gently been perfected by a New York
inventor.
The color process is a most expensive
detail. but the fact that their popular
juvenile star was 50 admirably adapted
to the scheme prompted the producers
to embOdy this idea in the film.

ever attempted to enumerate the freckles

Movie Directors Go Miles
to Secure Correct Properties

A FTER the director of The Prodi-
"A gal Judge" which is to be made
into big Nitagraph special production,
had thumbed over countless historical
novels in an attempt to find n picture
of n Mississippi River keel boat of the
1910 type. and had considered the dis
covery practically hopeless. word
reached him last week that n real keel
boat which had been laid down in 1896
had been located at point on the Ohio
River. Edward Jose. the director, i'm
mcdiately entered into negotiations to
purchase the boat, but was disappointed
to learn that it was in such n condi-
tion that it could not possibly be moved.
Mr.. Jose is to make special trip to
the town named and after looking over
the boat. will have it photographed
then an exact duplicate will be built
in the East for use in river scenes of
''The Prodigal Judge" 1t is planned to
make this production of record size. The
book by Vaughan kester, was one OF
the best sellers Of few years ago.
Jean Paige, Of ''Black Beauty" fame,
plays the star role in the picture.

MODERN METHODS
USED TO REPRODUCE
CITIES IN MOVIES

nID you know that by photograph
- ing a three foot rule, an ordinary
yardstck. any building or work of art
can be reproduced on the motion picture
screen?
For those who have marveled how il
was done when they have seen in photo
plays reproductions Of world famous
buildings the explanation is simple.
'Suppose we need the picture of a
certain English street for Sacred and
Profane Love or some other picture, -
said Max Parker, art director at the
Famous Players studio. I'VE wire to
our English Office for q photograph of
the scene desired-spccifying that a
three foot rule be set up along side the
building to be reproduced.
with Just this measure as a guide
~ can reproduce to the fractiona! part
Of an inch a single building or a whole
town IL necessary. Reproducing Lon
don in Hollywood is not guess work
through this very simple process we
can make q creation so accurate that
denizens Of the original district can
find no fault
"Another important value of this
method OF measuring comes when we
have many scenes around the door Of a
house, for instance. Perhaps Mt the
house used for exteriors the situation at
the door Is such that we cannot get the
correct sort Of light. Then we reproduce
the door Mt the studio. perhaps many
miles away from the location. as was
done in George Melford's The Great
Impersonation.
"Even in reproducing costumes and
properties measure within the photo
graph is OF utmost importance. \ six
inch rule aids tremendously when we
want the kind of uniform worn by
policemen In Siam or something OF
similar import,
even experts erred in the days when
we made sets from oral description. But
the camera never lies. especially when
there's a three foot rule in the fore
ground"

But IL, who knew human nature

SO at last all was ready. Manton, !

his plane up behind some bushes on the

The camera man on the shore started

Sc improvement.
iB, rAe wa.Alnston Herald heonoml-t,

REPORTS concerning the Industrial
situation in Soviet Russia have been
very conflicting OF late. The observa-
ton. of different individuals have
not agreed as to the general economic
situation. This IL not surprising IN
view Of the enormous area OF the
country and extreme depression when
II has experienced. Reliable staus-
tics and statements by competent oo-
servers are very scarce and dlmcuit
to obtain. even by government rep
resentatives. Some recent surveys.
however, appear TO agree In that
they point to the slow improvement
Of conditions in Russia.
A report secured by the Depart
ment of Commerce obtained through
consuls in Finland and Esthonia gives
a review Of foreign trade Of Soviet
Russia about August J. This sum
marizes the imports and exports OF
European Russia for the last eight
months of 1920 and the hrst SIX
months of 1881. giving results al
shown in the following table.
It should be kept in mind that So
Wet Russia differed from the original
Russian area In that Finland and
Russian Poland are not included.
The general term, European Rus
sia," covers Soviet Russia, the eau
casian Republic the Ukraine. Llthu-
ania, Latvia and Esthonia. The
