QUICK THINKING
NEEDED IN films
Speed in Working Out Titles Is
Essential

Hollywood, Cal, Nov. 10 Up
AS situations flash through a fast
moving photoplot, the motion picture
title writer injects himself into them
and speaks for the characters.
Speed makes his art peculiar The
author takes his time with a limited
number of characters and the actor
studies his role. But the title writer
thinks situationally and the charact-
ers he speaks for are without num-
Der.
An outstanding figure in this new
profession is H. H. Caldwell, who.
with Katherine Hilliker, writes titles
for Fox Films.
A cadet at Annapolis, Caldwell was
aide on the flagship at the battle of
Manila Bay. When Admiral Dewey
married, he was best man. Becoming
interested in company filming
scenics, Caldwell turned experiment
tally to the titles, and soon, in a fea-
ture production, his talent found It.
self. After the war he returned to
find his film position had been per-
manently filled by Miss Hilliker.
After a brief courtship he married
her. Mrs. Caldwell had herself won
such distinction that her maiden
name was retained.

SHAW WILL DONATE
NOBEL CASH Prize
Money to Be- Used in Inter-
national LITERARY Work

London. Nov. 10 P-Following a
precendent estaI siished by the late
President Roose telt. George Bernard
Shaw has donat I'd the purse which
goes with his ward OF the Nobel
prize in literatu re for 1925 to be
used to "encou nge intercourse and
understanding literature and art
between SwedeI and the British
Isles" President Roosevelt gave
the $4,000 com Ing to him from the
Nobel peace prize for his aid in end
ing the war between Russia and
Japan to a fournation for the pro-
motion of india strial peace. The
literature prize usually amounts to
about $4,000.
In accepting the literature prize,
but not the money. Mr.. Shaw pro-
posed that the money prize be turned
into a fund to send important Swed-
ish books and to support organs
working for ind ellectual Intercourse
between Sweden and Great Britain.
Mr.. Shaw's; letter declared the
award of the No bel prize was well
come rejnforc enlent to British and
Swedish culture and that naturally
it was very gratifying to him per
sonaHy that he was the vehicle for
such an act of international ap-
probation.
With regard to his acceptance of
the prize Mr.. Sha'w said:
Il must, however, discriminate
between the award and the prize.
For the award l have nothing but
my best thanks. But, after most
careful consideration I cannot per-
suade myself to accept the money.
My readers and audiences provide
me with more than sufficient money
for my needs: and as to my renown,
it Is greater than is good for my
spiritual health. Under these cir
cumstancas money is a life belt
thrown to a swimmer who has al
ready reached the sh ore in safety. 7
therefore respectfully and gratefully
beg the Swedish Royal Academy to
confer on me the additional and
final honor of CHASING my work in
that respect hors concotrs." (Out of
competition).
The veteran playwright then calls
the attention of the prize board to
the fact that the British dominions
overseas and European, powers are
choosing advantageous sites in Lon
l.
don to exhibit their choicest pro-
ducts and advertise the attractions
New Britain herald., 1926-11-19

and travelling facilities OF their
countries. He then refers to the
imports of Swedish paper. the func-
ton Of which. as there is nothing
printed on ii, seems to him to be to
wrap Australian apples in.
Mr.. Shaw says the Swedish min
lister in London had Informed him
Of Swedish books OF great value
(which for lack of means cannot be
translated and of organs working
for intellectual intercourse between
us which are in need of support"
He then proposes the funding Of
the money prize for the encourage
ment of intercourse and understand
ing In literature and art between
Sweden and the British Isles.

ful oil burner and not once during those
nine years has it relinquished its hold on
first place. There are more NOKoLs in use
today than any other automatic oil burner
and no product has ever had a more
loyal, enthusiastic following.
Another factor in NoKoL's success is econ

sales were made in cottages, bungalows and
smaller homes-to men and women Of
moderate means, who naturally wanted the
most economical oil heat they could get;
