Work on "Mouie" That
Audience Doesn't See

The movie-going public, unfamiliar
with the making of moving picture,
has no idea of the time and labor re-
quired to produce a film that runs an
hour or two in a theater, according
to Lillian Gish, famous American
screen star, who says, in an article
In Liberty, "You buy ticket at the
box Office, find a seat, and watch a
picture for while. Then you get
your hat and walk out. In two hours
you have witnessed something which
may have taken us eight months and
a million dollars to make.
"You have seen woman walk
across the SCREEN" continues the ac-
tress, pause at window, and turn
to stare at a man coming through a
door. 1t takes 40 seconds to show you
that scene-and it may have taken US
40 hours to get it right. We may have
done that one bit OF acting a hundred
times in rehearsal, and dozen times
before the camera; and that is only
one of a thousand episodes in the
play"

Drove Hard Bargain,

A man tells this story of his col
lege days:
He was accosted on the street one
day by a stranger who offered to sell
at bargain ring which he said he
had found in the Mushroom of hotel.
The ring had large stone set. The
stranger asked S. for the ring, but
after much pickering took % cents.
The student put on his new mark
of opulence and went down to the col
Iege with the expectation of making
an impression, but on arriving, he
found others had made similar bar
gains, paying from 10 cents to 81.

Main LeYR of Atchaialaya River BrsakS-TOWn of Melville
 Inundated
MORE THAN SCORE DEAD
 IN DEVASTATED AREAS
Many People Are Refusing to Leave Homes, Despite Apparent Dangers From Rising Waters of River and Authorities Fear That Nili- tary Force May Be Necessary to Take Them to Safer Places.

Baton Rouge, La. May 17 P)- Reports that the main levee at Mel vile. La, on the west bank of the Atchafalaya river broke today and that the residents were forced to flee were received here today. The information came from telephone operator at Melville, who stated that virtually everything in the town was destroyed.
 Melville lies about 13o miles northwest of New Orleans and is on the opposite side of the river from the Crescent city and is 45 miles northwest of Baton Rouge.
 All Probably Safe.
 The levee was from Is to IS feet high and John NJ. Parker, state flood director. was advised that two hours after the break, which came about $ a. m., the crevasse had widened to zoo feet. Confidence was expressed here that no lives had been lost as most of the 1,0os inhabitants Of Melville had sought refuge on the levees.
 Two relief trains of the Texas & Pacific railroad were reported standing by to remove the flood victims.
 Describes Scenes.
 The scene that followed the break was described by Mrs. Julia Mac Neill, wife of a Melville druggist. She was the first refugee to escape from the town. Everyone was aroused by shots fired by the levee guards and rushed from their homes in night clothes. Mrs. Mac Neill said. ....-... ....
 They immediately scrambled up upon the levees where they waited for the rescue boats. They have absolutely nothing. most of them did not have time to get any clothes" Mrs. MacNeill continued.
 '"The waters rushed through the break with roar and swept away nearby houses from their founda- tions. lifting them up and tossing away the boards and heavy timbers like feathers. Mingled with the roar Of the waters could be heard the screams of the women and chill dren.
 Fears Lives Lost.
 "They sat on the levees on the riverbank crying and shivering. It was dreadful"
 Although in a state of nervous tension from her experiences, Mrs. MacNeill went to former Governor Parker begging him to send boats at once to rescue the people.
 ''The shots may not have aroused eyeryone-I don't know" she added. T am afraid that people whose

Chinamen On Trial At Hartford
 May Know Their Fate By Evening
One of Two Accused of Manchester Murder Is But 19 and Defense Lawyer Exhorts Jury Don't
 Forget, He's Just Boy.'

Hartford. May II WAThe trial of Soo Hoo Wing and Chin Lung, who are charged by the state with having shot to death Ong Cling Hem. Man chester laundryman. March 24. en- tered on its final day today. Be- fore nightfall. it is expected. the ac- cused will know the verdict of the jury as to whether the state will exact the supreme penalty.
 Prior to the calling of the jury. Attorneys Frank E. Healy and. Fran cis P. Rohrmayer offered motion that the case be taken from the jury and be declared a mistrial. The grounds offered in support of the motion were that Willis w. Hall. of Marlborough. a juror. was stricken i'll, the trial at one time being sus- pended for one day and again for 10 days as a result
 It was contended that the defen- dants were deprived of such trial as is guaranteed by the constitution. The same contention was made rela- tive to the illness of Howard s. Bid- we'll, a juror of Glastonbury.
 In support of the motion. evidence was introduced in the form of testi- mony by Doctors John C. Pierson and Henry NJ. Costello, who had at tended the men. Dr. Pierson said the second day he saw MT. Hall he decided ..o should remain in bed. as he had mounting temperature. Mir. Bidwell's condition cleared up i'm nlediately. Dr. Pierson said that while MT. Hall is not physically able to do a days work. he is able. mentally and physically. to sit in the jury box.
 Judge Jennings said the situation in this case is unusual either in his experience or in the state. He said he had been in constant touch with the situation, had received daily written reports from doctors. had had long conferences with them, and
