BEST TYPE FOR
 DRAMATIC APPEAL
Tears and Fortitude Make
 Good on Stage

New York, Oct. 19 [P = George ence: Make 'em laugh, Make lem wait, Make 'em cry" But Victor McLagien observed that If he were phasing 1t, he would put the laugh ter last. T like to send 'em away with a grin"
 This started discussion on the Fox Films set of Mother Machree, |" as D the form of final dramatic ap- peal best calculated to put the sum of the plays values across to the audience.
 Everybody likes to cry" said Belle Bennett. we like to learn that in our busy lives we can feel so much unselfish sympathy for the other fellow. If an audience goes out drying it's eyes, you may be sure people are satisfied with the play because it has made them satisfied with themselves"
 That's a new angle" admitted Nc laglen, "and it is a fact that pathos is the eloquent interpreter of roles. Humor. tragedy, melodrama all re- spond to pathos. A bit at the end of clever play will go far toward summing up all its values.
 There Is one value, however, the greatest ip drama. the greatest in life which in it's nature Is the nega- ton of pathos. Fortitude. If fortt- tude is the sould of your play; a bravely borne distress, a sacrifice Of self, it must continue to dominate to the very end. It cannot comprom- ise and must not be compromised"

SAYS AUTOS CAN'T HAUL FOOD SUPPLY
Railroads Essential, Supt.
 SnaYely Tells Lions Club

There Is no fleet of auto trucks large enough, nor have they time enough to keep this city supplied with food" in case the railroads do not do it, according to Superinten- dent w. J. Snavely of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, who spoke to the Lions club at the Burritt hotel today.
 Mir. Snavely spoke on general transportation matters. He stated that there are 10000 cars of raw material brought into this city every year and 1000 cars of New Britain products shipped out each year. He said the problem of railroad trans portation is vital one 10 each com munity now and lie has never seen as good transportation as that fur nished by the railroads.
 Speaking of some switching prob lems in New Britain, Mr. Snavely said there are 6S passenger trains going through here every day in the week and that railroad rules require a switch engine to be off the main track five minutes before every main line train goes through. This means. he explained, that out of every eight hour day, five hours and forty minutes are spent getting out of the way of main line trains.
 He said people who figure that motor trucks will handle all trans portation in the future are wrong. that no fleet of motor trucks could keep New Britain supplied with food alone. not considering the raw mate rial for the factories.

anas and dozens Of different kindf of snakes.
 Allman's speciality, however, il rattlesnakes. When he receives 8 rush order from a studio for a cer. tain type of rattler with certain number of rattles.s he looks over his troupe and if none fits the order, he proceeds to make one up.
 Making Up" A Ratuer
 For instance, studio manager ordered thirteen-rattled rattler. Ii was needed in a picture built around the so-called unlucky num- Der 13, Tho nearest Altman could come to it was a seven-rattler. So he got out his supply of extra rat ties and soaked them in warm water to soften them. After the seventh rattle on the snakes tail had like wise been softened, he slipped on the extra six rattles and delivered the thirteen -rattler on time.
 In case the deserts or mountains of California do not provide the kind of speciments wanted. Altman gets them from the zoo or from im- porters.

COPS TRICK WOMAN
 TO JET EVIDENCE
Make Raid on Mrs. Freiheit's
 Church Street Store

Mrs. Adele Frieheit of 311 Church street who was told by Judge AL ling on her appearance in police court a few weeks ago, that if she was convicted again of violation of the liquor law. her jail sentence would be in months rather than days, was arrested this forenoon by Officers Daniel Cosgrove and John c. Stadler at her home. A can con- taining a liquid and glass contain ing small quantity of the same liquid. apparently, were taken by Officer Stadler and will be analysed to determine whether the alcoholic content necessary for prosecution is present.
 The officers went to the woman's s tenement, which adjoins her store. but she is alleged to have refused to open the door for Officer Cosgrove. He then started for the store and she relaxed her vigilance, not know ing that Officer Stadler was present He knocked and she released three bolts, apparently believing his knock q friendly one. The officer heard water running before he en- tered and as he brushed past Mrs. Fneheit to seize the can and glass, she tried to stop him and insisted that he read the warrant, which he did, meanwhile watching the eW- dence.
 The police say Mrs. Frieheit had turned on the water to dilute the alleged liquor in the glass and can. In previous raid at her home, Sergeant O'Mara heard water run ming in the bathroom and 1t was presumed that she was attempting to overcome the alcoholic content in the liquid.

 Cable Borer Protests
 The lead cable borer. known in some quarters as the short circuit bug, kicks up a fuss when attempts are made to film it. If 1t is not placed in an atmosphere of grape juiu -, the director has difficulty in keeping it within camera range. He discovered that before prohibition, the bug dwelt exclusively on wine casks
 The chief piece of nature faking is carried out with the gutter rat. This rodent is so wild under the Kieg rays that tame white rats have to be painted black in order to get good results. The common rat, how ever, is used for close-ups because of the deception lurking in the pet rats pink eyes.
 Some Fake Make Ups
 Camera men have experienced great difficulty in their endeavors to make a film of contrasts among COWS and to avoid transporting an enamel ated bovine to a farm where there only good cattle, they paint COW to give her appearance of a zebra, col bring the ribs with dark paint and the spaces between with white. This method also is resorted to because scrawny COW will usually show up on the film in quite a healthy con- dition,

fic regulation should be observed by
the motorist as strictly as the state
law making the driving of an auto
mobile while intoxicated a criminal
offense.
State legislatures may also dele
gate similar powers to park commits
sioners, and when so delegated, the
regulations of park commissioners
are of the same weight and effect as
municipal ordinances, and may be
attacked only on the ground that
they are unreasonable, in conflict
with some state statute or constitu-
tional provisions, or in some manner
exceed the power granted by the
state legislature.
Regulations have been passed by
municipalities under the police pow
er governing a wide range of sub
jects, and this in many localities has
worked a distinct hardship on mo-
torists and has made possible the
various fine mills set up by dishon-
est or oppressive local authorities
for their own private gain.
Most of these regulations, however,
are for the good of the public as
whole and are honestly and fairly
enforced, and the motorist who takes
the trouble to familiariZe himself
with the general law Of his state re-
lating to automobiles has little to
fear if he complies strictly Herewith,
particularly if he will take the trou-
BILE to observe carefully the various
signs erected by the local authori-
ties and will consult the local police
men whenever he is in doubt as to
how to proceed.
The motorist will find that practi-
cally all regulations governing
speed, traffic control, parking, carry
ing of lights and license plates, the
giving of signals, ETC., are properly
enacted, reasonable, and within the
scope of the municipalities author
ity.
A strict compliance Herewith will
avoid many unpleasant consequences
from a "bawling out" by the traffic
officer to heavy fine.
