SEEING NATURE ON SCREEN
IN REAL COLOR

There has been many experiments
in movies done in color.
A new process has been discovered
which permits the filming Of an en-
tire movie in natural color. This
process is call TechnicoIor.
Such a picture lis ''Wanderer of
the Wasteland" now on view at the
Apollo with Jack Holt, Noah Berry,
Kathyln Williams, Billy Dove and
many others.
Such a picture, meaning the nat
ural color, is new to me- 1t took
me some time to get my focus adj
justed. 1 found myself looking at
the beautiful mountains and the
desert, instead of studying the actor.
This color process gives a movie
more depth than the black and
white prints, of which we have had
thousands. This new process may
mean a new day in Movie Land, but
it will take time to educate the pub
lie. Before this process becomes an
everyday tact on the screen, 1t
seems to me that something has to
be done to register the expression
more definitely. Jack Holt. as far
as his face is concerned does not
register as easily as he has in the
black and white prints, but Noah
Berry, as a sort of desert tramp,
registers with much force. The same
Is true with Billy Dove, It may
be the fault Of Holt.
And yet the above remarks arc
not given you in the form of adj
verse criticism, but rather a state
ment Of a fact regarding the pres
ent stage of development of pictures
in natural color.
This color process results IN
beautiful picture. At times the
characters do not seem natural, but
1 take it that this is due to my In
experience with TechnicoIor.
"Wanderer of the Wasteland' Is
beautiful picture and it proves that
the movie industry is still in the
process Of development and that is
splendid realization.
Zane Grey wrote "Wanderer Of
the Wasteland" I was interested
right in the beginning with the work
of Holt and Miss Williams, but when
Berry appeared I really forgot about
two chief characters. This picture
was hard job to put onto the
screen as there are three chief char
acters, probably four. There is one
scene in which realism runs riot
That is where Berry grinds a man
to death. This scene made a terrific
impression upon me because blood
is red and it does show up in natural
color movies.
I suggest visit to the Apollo this
week and see something new in the
movie nne. l admit natural colors

Some Yarn

When T. 4. Wolfe, owner Of the
T. A. Wolfe Shows, to be at the
State Fair this week, is asked,
What is your most valuable pos
session." he does not answer, my
Wonder Amusement Enterprise"
but instead says "a baseball"
In 1922, as the story goes, the
Wolfe Shows were on a lot adjoining
the Detroit baseball park. One day
the Tigers were practicing, using a
mascot ball, across its face written
''Tyrus Cobb" and the Georgia
Peach" desiring to see how far
he could hit the mascot, caught it
Just right to send it over the fence
into the show ground.
Detroit players sought the ball on
the show lot, but found It not, and
the show folk had not seen 1t. Last
year the Wolfe Shows were playing
in Augusta, Ga, home Of Cobb, and
the Tigers were training there.
In the show q boxing kangaroo
and a boxing Airedale dog were in
their act, when the Airedale hit the
Australian an accidental solar picks,
putting the kangaroo out for the
count. The blow Jared the lanky
fellow so hard that from its pouch
rolled : the long lost ball, revealing
that kangaroos can carry small
packages in their pouch for months
at time. Cobb refused to take the
ball back and gave it to Wolfe to
keep as his mascot. In turn Wolfe
may give Tyrus baby kangaroo for
pet and good luck possession.

Mcclure In "Manhandled." Miss
Swanson comes nearer giving US a
real fiesh-and-blood character in
'Manhandled' than she ever has
before. Sally, Irene and Mary were
popular names on the legitimate
stage several seasons ago, and
guess that Tessie will be a much
discussed character in the movie
world this season. The author of
the tory does not seek to explain the
department store complex. or even
solve a problem. He was anxious TO
frame d corking good yarn for Clio
ria. And that he has done. Viewed
only as amusement. it is corking
good entertainment.
The picture is full Of laughs. Clio
ria turns out to be a Coincidence
who is actually funny. She even
finds time to do a Charlie Chaplin
impersonation and dolls up just like
Nazimova. Russian tea flavor and
all of that.
The first reel is packed full of
humor when Tessie starts to check
out after a days work in a New
York department store. Tessie,
chewing her gun. attempts to buck
the subway crowd. There isn't much
left Of Tessie. but she at least keeps
her gum.
As one expects In all Swanson
movies. she wears some stunning
gowns. For a while she is just a
painted lily but pure at heart. Then
she is reminded that all Of her fine

Thursday and Friday-''The Silent
COmmand'-Men in the service of the
United States are prepared at any
time to sacrifice their lives for their
country, but at the silent command
they give more than this. They sur
render love, honor and wealth.. sacri-
flee themselves and their families, and
go down into oblivion, if necessary,
for the cause. Such are the facts as
revealed in the William Fox prOduc-
ton "The Silent Command" a drama
tic story of the modern American
navy by Rufus Kings. The picture
was directed by J. Gordon Edwards.
In response to the silent com mand of
the navy intelligence division, IA young
captain is stripped of his command,
loses his wife and family, eventually
selling out to a band of foreign plot
ters who hope to wreck the Panama
Canal. The story has an o. Henry
climax, so unexpected and so eXplana-
tory of the intrigue Of international
affairs, that it becomes as educational
as it is entertaining. The Atlantic
and Pacific fleets are pictured in a
majestic action. A vessel is wrecked
in the caribbean Sea, while a mar
fights through the breakers for the
rocks. In the wireless room of the
sinking ship two men fight for pos
session of the sending key, one de
termined to wreck the Atlantic feet
the other equally as determined K

Dyes Used to Color Growing Tree.

Dyes Used to Color Growing Trees.
A method of colOring the wood of
growing trees has been devised by a
German engineer, who has been able to
color the tree any shade while it is
still growing. Various aniline dyes are
used, which do not poison the tree or
affect its growth. The entire tree,
from the very ends of its roots to the
tOpmOst branch and leaf, can be col
Ored any desirable shade within As
hours after the solution of the dye
stuff is injected into the roots.
About 80 grams of the dye are used
to 20 liters of water. The sap of the
tree carries the coloring matter
throughout me structure.
This new development opens up
many possibilities of obtaining novel
and startling effects in the novelty
business, and it also makes possible
