I'm opposed to the incorporation
OF the county as a city at this time.
The loss of State revenue would
inevitably result in increased taxes

city plan than we now enjoy as

OF Arlington county desire to mod

THE FRESH AIR
PROBLEM IS
SOLVED

The problem OF getting fresh
air to cameramen and technical
experts who are locked up in air.
tight cages during the taking OF
dialogue pictures, has been solved.
Fred Jackman, technical expert
at First National Studios at Bur.
bank, worked on the problem for
weeks, and finally perfected de-
vice, similar to the airpumps used
for divers, by means Of which air
can be conveyed into the cages
during the shooting Of dialogue
scenes without causing any sound.
1t is necessary that the camera.
men be locked into small sound.
proof booths, equipped with plate
glass so that the cameras eye
may pick up the events nearby,
without recording the noise OF the
camera motors.
Likewise the mixer" or expert
who regulates the volume of sound
from the mierophones must be q
temporary prisoner for several
minutes at a time.
The problem in the past has
been to supply these men with
fresh air. Jackman's new device,

Of "The SquaII." I" the perturbation

IGLEANINGS.
-:s AND
SCREENINGS
BY JIM RING

Maybe you've read, in the
current Scribner's, Bob Sher-
woods article on television as
the successor of the movies we
know today,
If you're interested in pic
lures, Sherwood's prediction is
intere- ting, whether you like his
idea or not. He sees, in the
acquisition of film companies
and theaters by the Radio Cor
poration of America, the begin
ming of the end for the movie
as we know it now.
Before a great many years
have passed, says Sherwood, it.
will rot be necessary to take a
trip downtown to see the latest
pictures. Instead, the family
will sit before its radio tele-
vision outfit, in the privacy of
the home, and get its entertain
ment programs gratis, with the
compliments of such national
advertisers who now sponsor the
leading programs on the air
This is all well and good.
Maybe he's right. But what is
he going to do about the urge
of the family to get out of the
house, to go places and see
things? Radio has unquestion-
ably cut into movie patronage,
but the talkies stand them up
in the lobby just as of yore.
When television comes in a
big way, it is our private guess
that the neighborhood houses
will feel it first. As for the big
theaters-well, r. G. A. is buy
ing these theaters in order to
junk them. And it might well
be contended also that tele-
vision outfits will not be sold
outright, but leased to home
movie fans.
However, after all, those pos
sibilities are away off in the
future, and this is only the
fifth of July, with lot of dead
firecrackers lying around.
The mornings paper brings
sad tidings. Dustin Farnum is
dead.
The creator of the role of
Owen Wister's "Virginian" on
the screen, died at the POST
graduate Hospital in New York
last night, after having been a
patient there for a week He
was 55 years old.
Farnum's day on the screen
passed just a little before Bill
Hart's, when the flappers began
to turn to the sleek new idols OF
the pictures. He was one OF
the original stars of the great
Triangle-Fine Arts outfit, con-
tributing to the screen soma
splendid work in "The Iron
Strain" "Cameo Kirby" and
similar red-blooded melodramas.
Seated here in the pleasant
sanctum of Mr.. Kelley, who has
sworn off press agents and
variety" for the customary
midsummer month, one wonders
how things will be kept moving
during these warm July days,
when almost everybody is more
interested in finding cool spots
than in reading this far down
on a column like this.
A repetition of last summers
bigger and better expose of the
summer resort situation in and
about the District is an intrigu-
ing notion, and if Ye Ed can
round up a good herd of in
vestigators, the probe will be
staged very soon.

Ugliest Actor

Louis Wolheim, who gave up
a stage career for the movies
over year ago, has become
known as "Hollywood's ugliest-
looking actor" But in spite of
his homeIy physiognomy and pug.
nacious quality he displays in his
screen work. Wolheim is one Of
the most polished gentlemen in
the histrtonic profession.
Before becoming an actor, Vol.
helm was professor of mathe-
matics at Cornell. He win be CO.

Gary Cooper in Paramount's ro-

known as talented pianist. He
uses his fingers In manner which
is sure to delight audiences every
where. But with all his fun, he is
first and foremost clever pianist;
fact which the audience soon
discovers.

Harpo Is Harpist

Harpo as the name implies is the
Marx brother that is the talented
harpist. He is well known Tor his
tuneful music. 1t Is he that has
astounded most music critics as
he violates the accepted technique
that the harpists use. He is now
at Loew' Columbia for the sec
ond week with the three other
Marx lrothers in the musical
comedy success. "The Cocoanuts."

Gary Cooper made a startling
wardrobe transformation when he
shifted from his role of a giant
California trapper in ''Wolf Song"
now at the Earle Theater. to his
role in Emil Jannings' latest vehi.

wore fringed buckskins one day
and fashionably cut morning suit
