4 MONG other changes which talking
"A pictures are expected by close OBJ
servers to effect on an already jumbled
screen map, according to writer for
Fox Films, they are considered likely
to bring back the costume drama and
the Western films as staples of popular
consumption.
"An occasional thriller of the plains
still smacks the public where it lives,
and good pictures Of any type never
really die But the second-rate kind
of cowboy epic has 'dented' the market.
And production Of Westerns has been
falling off, even though the visible sup
ply of Indians is nowhere near ex-
hausted.
Nowadays the addition of dialogue
is regarded as an essential factor in re-
viving the six-shooting drama with a
bang, all because conversational cowboys
will now be enriched in their picturesque
up in public. Picturegoers must be
aware by this time that the modern
emphasis, thanks largely to such pic
lures as What Price Glory?" Variety
and underworld" is largely on char
acter drawing, rather than in switch
ing puppets through ingenious plots.
Certainly producers are aware OF
the appeal found in delineating the
traits of a distinctive and quite human
individual. rather than in putting him
through the far-fetched jumps of a
fictional yarn" continues the Fox
writer. producers are all the more
eager these days for any new twist or
turn which will make a character step
right up and buttonhole the fancy of
an audience. And dialoguge has been
found to be one of the surest develop
ments in gaining the patrons ear.
For one thing, the dialogue gives a
wider and more colorful range to a
characters emotions through the sensi-
tive modulations of the voice. For an
other, it adds tang to a personality
through the vivid homely medium of a
dialect, a drawl or a stutter. Any pic

Young Aviator in Films.

John BERG, 13-year-old youth, not
~ only won the junior championship
in the model airplane meet In Los
Angeles this Fall, but also the right to
play a part in an aviation thriller in the
Russ Farrell, Aviator" series being re-
leased by Educational.
Chafles r. Rogers and Harry j.
Brown, producers of these aviation pic
lures, became interested in the meet
because the 1000 or more youthful con-
testants competed under the auspices of
the Model Airplane League of America,
of which Thomson Burtis is a vice pres
ident. Burtis wrote the Russ Farrell
stories on which the entire russ Far
rell, Aviator" series is based.
Young Berg is thrilled at the thought
of playing in a motion picture with
Reed Howes, who portrays Russ Farrell.
Berg admits that his two heroes are
Lindbergh and Russ Farrell" whose
heroic deeds are known to millions OF
American Boy magazine readers.

by simply using gas mask while
~ working in the volcanic smoke,
Bixio Alberini, Paramount News staff
comeraman, managed to make not only
the first moving picture to reach this
country of the eruption of Mount Etna
but also one of the most striking rec
ords ever filmed of great disaster.
Alberini, it is said, managed to secure
15-hour lead on his competitors by
flying from Rome to Palermo and then
working his way back across the Island
of Sicily while his rivals were making
the long train trip from Rome to Mes
sina. He had done great deal of
work around Mount Etna in the past,
and knew something of the dangerous
handicaps under which he would have
to make his pictures. Therefore, be-
fore he left Rome he borrowed from
the army gas mask equipped with an
oxygen respirator, an outfit that was
to prove nearly as valuable to him as
his camera.

Airplanes Annoying Movies.

DATHE STUDIO officials are suggest
ing an aerial traffic cop at Culver
City to shoe away aviators from flying
over the city. For airplanes are a
nuisance when a sound and dialogue
picture is being made.
Culver City and Hollywood lie on
main air route. If an airplane flies
high that is one thing. but if one flies
low there is hum and vibration that
no sound-proofing entirely shuts out
and work has to stop with the delicate
sound-recording apparatus until the
plane has passed over.
Furthermore, there are number of
air fields nearby and local aviators
sometimes like to give irnpromptu DEM
onstrations for the benefit of their
friends in the studios.

the Pathe studios, is considering the
practicability of a huge sign reading,

Which Cnotrols Debates,
Makes Announcement

Grand Forks, N. D. Aug. 21.-R
High School students who are in
terested in debating will tackle q
weighty subject this year.
: Announcement by the extension
division Of the state university here,
which has supervision Of high school
debating in North Dakota is that all
schools in the league will debate the
question: Resolved, that q new
national political party Is desirable" !"
The subject was chosen. it is ex-
planned by university authorities, as
one which is of peculiar interest IN
a presidential campaign year. 1t is
expected to focus the attention OF
high school students upon the activi-
ties Of the two major -arties and
give them cause to study the pur-
pose, method, strength, weakness
and results of political parties.
A statement issued by the extern
sion division with regard to the
question for debate says:
Don't Serve Purpose
"There is growing conviction
that the two old parties no longer
satisfactorily serve their purposes;
that the uuadrennial contest has be-
come merely struggle between the
,lhs' and the 'outs;' that political
principles are secondary to office
getting; that the country needs q
new party. new leaders and a plat
form which embodies the real issues
upon which the voters desire to ex-
press opinion: that the attitude Of
both old parties toward prohibition,
farm relief, foreign relations is weak
and evasive and the country needs .
new political party. This is the al.
firmative view of the question.
"The negative will advance two
main arguments. First, the history
Of political parties in this country
shows that but the two chief parties
can exist at the same time. There
have been many minor parties, none
of which has been able to eliminate
one of the dominant parties. There
are radical differences between the
present leading parties great enough
to warrant a controversy and 20
satisfy the majority of the voters.
Second, traditions, regional and eco-
nomic interests make an amalgama-
tion of the two old parties impos-
sible. There IS no logical reason for
the need of new party.
