Assembling and editing a mo-
ton picture Is a most important
Job. This is called Cutting and
1t Is bothsa art and a science.
Directors usually shoot at least
ten times as much film as they
need. ASIDE from the retakes and
duplicated scenes the picture,
when first put together in rough
cut" form Is always too long.
Foolish Wives" came out in "a
reels instead of ten, and took six
months TO cut down.
It Is up TO the cutter to select
the best scenes, to eliminate
undergraduates from the story BY
various ingenious methods to cut
out dead and uninteresting acton,
to mark the color tints. to get, the
titles In their right places, to see
that close:ups are inserted wh4r-
ever needed, to make sure that the
story Is clear and that its drama.
tic sequence Is right-and II It is
not to make 1t so-and finally to
assure correct tempo. That means
major surgical operations.
To edit a picture you must have
rewinds. purchaseable for about

Logan he dipped his brush into
the pot Of pesslmism, withdrew It
and let drive I'm promiscuous
fashion.
Mr.. Nicely intimated that an
army more numerous than the
combined forces OF Caesar Napo-
leon and Alexander was out OF a
job. Possibly he referred to the
former Demmie office holders. At
any rate the crowd cheered him
to the echo, which was Just back
OF the platform. Much pleased
with the ovation. he took the hide
OF President Harding while the
crowd, gasped at his dexterity.
When he had finished, he wiped
the blood from his hands and
made the personal acquaintance OF
everybody who had heard him.
He smiled and bowed pleasantly,
Just like skinning a President was
nothing more, exciting than seeing
"The shelk" m the movies.
Then Major Nicely hoped into
a machine or. airplane and went
over TO Omar for a night meeting,
attended by a large number Of
miners, who possibly wanted to
know how they could get calomel
when they needed It. Major Nicely
had left his "Kalomel Kid" speech
at home, but he put on a general
tariff record that took seven
needles to hold it down. Major
Nicely says the new tariff will cost
every family about $500 "a year
more to live, and there has been
no corresponding drop N rates by
undertakers, dying won't help any.
so, the only Joy left in the sad
world to Demmie eyes Is going to
political meetings or waiting un-
til Harold Lloyd picture comes
to town. II one would believe
Major Nicely, clothing is going 70
be higher IN price soon than the
flappers' skirts this summer. He
warned the farmers about the in.
crease cost Of fertilizer. and other
wise gave evidence that he
thought the country would be, in
the grasp OF the eternal bow Vows.
unless they could get a certain
man from Fatlmont down at
Washington to chase the impend-
ing catastrophe out OF the country.
Only one tenth Of the money from
tariff gets into the Treasury, &C.
cording to Nicely. the rest being
used for Republican campaign
funds. This is said to be an orr
ginal thought with Major Nicely,
although he has not yet had il
copyrighted.
BY the way, I might say that
Mrs. Izetta Jewell Brown, who c.
F.. C'vox Pop'') Smith tried to edge
in ahead Of the famous local leader
as the Demmie candidate for Uni.
ted States senator, will speak in
Weston tonight. She will make an
appeal for Major Nicely, and ask
the support OF the Demmie ticket
in general. She Is making good her
threat to take the stump for Nicely,
II she lost the nomination..
No date has been set for the
speaking tour Of Mrs. Margaret
Fowler or Bill Lavelle, but It Is
thought that they will feel the urge
shortly.
