Average "MOvie"
Only a Fortieth
OF Actual Film
By LINCOLN QUARBERG
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

WOOD, April 15.-Movic
making is charactizcd by trcmen-
dous waste Millions of feet of film
are ground through the cameras and
discarded every week in thc film
plants.
Much of the waste is unavoidable
Bat the problem of cutting this SUI
pcrfluouS filming to the minimum
is paramount with producers.
The average picture, as it is run
! in the movie houses throughout the
world runs 1000 feet in length,
/ slightly more than Il mile of cellu-
/ loid.
/ But before the finished picture
! is released an average of 100000
/ feet of film is run through the
clicking cameras. Each foot of film
! records action before the cameras,
mcaning that the producers are pay
ing the overhead, including salaries
of players, technicians and directors,
/ goes to market.
There is not one film in a score
that does not undergo cutting pro
cess. Film cutting is on art usually
closely guarded from the public, be-
cause the waste is obvious, and pro-
ducers realize the industry is far re-
moved from its potential basis of
/ efficiency and Standardization.
Fifty percent of the duplication
in filming a picture is not counted
as waste Two cameras are main
tanned on every set, and take exact
lv the same scenes. Each camera
grinds out about 10000 feet of film
during a production.
Hence there are two duplicate
negatives. The other, an exact du-
pllcate Of the first, goes abroad.
Many European countries have Il tax
on each print Of picture that is
imported, but have only a blanket
tax on negative, which amounts
to much less than the total cost of
the tax on each print. 1t is cheap
cr, therefore, to put a second cam
eraman on Il picture and take Il
second negative, than to pay the tax
on prints.
Most scenes are filmed from two
to half dozen times. This is Il
practice generally followed i'll the
studios. Experienced directors, rs
Il rule, take fewer "shots' of Il
scene than the younger megaphone-
wielders. Only skillful director
knows without viewing the proofs
of the days filming whether a
scene has registered properly or not.
After all the scenes of a produc-
tion have been taken the film cut
ter is handed approximately BOT, 900
feet of film. His task is to cut 80
miles of film in 1000 feet.
Entire scenes, which may repres-
cnt hours of time and labor by AN
entire expensive east, are elimlnat-
ed. Hundreds of long, drawn-out
sequences are shortened. Many an

only to find when the completed
film is shown that he has been left
out of the picture entirely.
Most pictures benefit by a thor
ough cutting.' Filmcutting is "a
highly specialized art. The film
cutter is to the studios what the
copy-reader, who blue-pcncils the re-
porter S story, is to the newspaper.

RUSHING WORK
ON FRAZER ROAD
FEDERAL HIGHWAY WEST OF

ROUGH GAP

A. w. Mahon, district supervis-

sion was in Roosevelt and Valley
counties last week. He said that
the work on the new federal aid
highway project between Frazer
and Wolf Point was being rushed
with all possible speed at the
present time. He advises that the
contractor in charge of the work
will very shortly move big grad
ing outfit which is now working
near Lewistown to this project
and that present plans are to
have all the dirt work and bridges
completed this fall.
1t is very probable that parts
of the new grade will also be
surfaced this fall. The complet-
ing of this project will provide an
excellent highway over approx
mately twenty miles of what has
been poor road on the Roosevelt
highway. It's completion will be
welcomed by all who travel this
section of Montana.

BIEM FARMERS
WILL HOLD FAIR
NORTH COMMUNITIES PLAN
TWO-DAY FESTIVAL FOR
SEPT. 1917

A two-day fair that will inter
est everyone is being planned by
leaders in the Biem and Mineral
Bench communities for September
18th and 18th. In a meeting held
at the Biem school Saturday night
preliminary plans were drawn ur
and committees selected to have
charge of various departments.
The community fair to be held
September 18th and 18th is the
first attempt of these communities
to stage an agricultural exhibit,
and the committee in charge ex-
poets to spare no effort in making
their first fair a success. Every
farmer in the two communities is
behind the project and boosting
to make it the best community fair
in northeastern Montana.
The committee in charge of pre-
liminsry arrangements have not
named all of the subordinate COM
mittees but will do so at their
next meeting which will be held
at the Biem school Saturday night.
Weekly meetings of the executive
committee will be held in order
that there may be no delay in
arrangements.
The Biem and Mineral Bench
communities are handicapped to
some extent by their distance
from market being equi-distant
from Flaxville, Homestead, Brock
ton and Poplar, but have some of
the most progressive farmers in
1he county. The community fair
will no doubt bring out an exhibit
Of farm products of very high
quality.-A. W. Warden, Co. Agt.

GEORGIA HALE GAINS
LONG TERM CONTRACT

Another unknown has found
the pot of gold at the end of the
screen rainbow.
Georgia Hale, "extra girl OF
Poverty Row." has been signed
by Paramount under long term
contract. Her initial leading role
is that of the dance hall girl in
"The Rainmaker," Clarence Bad
gers powerful love-drama, in
which she shares featured honors
with Ernest Terrence and William
Collier, Jr., and which comes to
the Liberty August 25-26-27.
In all of Hollywood's glamorous
history, perhaps no story is as col
orful and interesting as that of
Georgia Hale. Certainly, none
epitomizes so fully and complete
ly the dreams and heartaches, the
romance and drama to be found in
the film capital.
A little over a year ago, she
was one of the mob-just an ex-
ira, challenging life with brave
smile. And to the world, the ex-
ira girl is nothing from nowhere
bound upon the toboggan of un-
certainty.
Today, Georgia Hale stands out
as one of the chosen few-one
who, in a series of dizzy flights,
flashed upward from the clam oring
throng and found a place for her
self in the cinema sun.

.LANARK WOMEN TESTING
KITCHEN EQUIPMENT

A testing circle through which
the value Of various pieces of
kitchen equipment can be deter
mined by actual use has been
started in the Lanark community,
with an enrolment of ten MEM
bers. The work is carried on in
cooperation with the Home Man
agement department of the exten-
sion service who recommends the
articles to be tried and furnishes
part of the equipment.
According to the plan followed
in the Lanark community, the ar
ticles are used by member of the
circle for a few days and are then
passed on to the next member. In
this way each member has ample
opportunity to try the several ar
ticles and determine their value
under her conditions.
Device Donated
Some of the articles to be test
ed are dish dryer, dry hand mop,
knife shsrpener, cake mixer, flour
sitter, floor waxing outfit, sani-
tary dust pan, and several smaller
articles of assistance in every
kitchen in reducing drudgery.
Several of the firms selling
kitchen equipment have donated
articles to be included in the test
ing circle. These are to be used
through the communities of
Roosevelt county and then passed
on to other counties or sold for
what they will bring.
The women of the Lanark COM
munity have carried on a kitchen
contest during the past summer,
which will be completed in the
near future. The testing circle
work is fitting finish to this

.SCRUTINIZING Use
OF FAMILY FUNDS

Are you one of the doubling
Thomases who, for one reason OF
another has not tried budgeting
your family expenditures? Yoa
may find some suggestions which
will convince you Of the value o.
SO doing in recent publication Of
the United States Department OF
Agriculture, as we'll as specific
help in scrutinizing and grouping
your expenses. No authority car
supply a budget ready-made. You
have to make your own. Each
family has its own peculiar needs
its own aims and hopes, its owr
difficulties and responsibilities. A
good plan Of spending for one
family with three children and an
income Of $4,000 year might be
very poor plan for another fam
ily living in the same town, with
the same number Of children, and
the same income.
Among many others, the fol
lowing questions which the de-
partment suggests that you put to
yourself, will be found helpful;
Is the emergency fund in the
bank large enough? Are we ac-
cumulating fund for the chill
dren's education? Would we save
more in the long run if we spent
money for labor-saving devices
which would save both time and
energy? Is it more economical to
buy certain articles of clothing
ready-made, or to make them?
Do we spend too much on such
things as candy, tobacco, and
cheap magazines? Are there any
articles which we buy in too
small or too large quantities?
What articles have we purchased
that we did not need? That did
not wear well? Is our automobile
a necessity, a convenience, or a
luxury? Are our charge accounts
a convenience or a temptation?
Such questions as these and 9th
ers that will occur to you suggest
where to look for leaks and how
to approach the reorganization of
your scheme of living 50 as to
make your income yield maxi
mum of satisfaction for your fam
ily.
