FEE CLAIMED
FROM FIGHTER
German Heavyweight Has
Another Suit Added to
Legal Tangle

NEW YORK, July 23.-(R-The
fistic subdivision known as Max
Schmeling had one more worry on
his hands today. Already ever his
head in legal entanglements, the
German heavyweight discovered
that someone else had brought suit
for a portion of Herr Max's ring
earnings in the United States. The
chances are Max won't worry over
much on the theory that one more
suit among SO many hardly matters.
The latest claim or Schmeling'S
purse came in the form of a suit,
brought by nj Frederick Kirsch,
asking for two per cent of MaX's
earnings. KirSch, Quondam friend
of Schmeling and Arthur Buelow,
the boxers repudiated manager,
filed an order signed by Supreme
Court Justice William Black, re-
quiring the Madison Square Garden
corporation and Charlie Rose, an
other Of Something's many man
ayers, to show cause today why a
receiver should not be appointed to
take over two per cent of the box
er's earnings in his victory over
Pauline Uzcudun.
Kirsch said he had introduced
Schmeling and Beulow to Rose and
that Buelow had assigned 10 per
cent of Something's earnings to
Rose who, in turn, gave 3 per cent
of this to Kirsch.
All was serene until Joe Jacobs,
now Something's manager Of choice,
entered the scene. Jacobs acquired
a 3 IL per cent interest in Schmel-
ing from Buelow and 4 per cent
from Rose. Possibly because the
mathematical problem was a diff
silt one. nobody has seen to it that
Kirsch got his two per cent, the
plaintiff asserted.

ICHARD DIXS Abridged Dictionary
IN was the movie stars latest idea for
perfecting the art Of the talking picture
until sound engineers made the book
obsolete.
Dix learned lot about sound effects
during his work on Nothing but the
Truth" He had seen the mechanical
process improve greatly so that the well
known tendency of talking pictures to
lisp had been practically eliminated.
However, there were still few words
that caused trouble over the micro
phone. Dix's list Of dangerous words
included consciousness, business, eff
ficiency, Office, voice and yes. When
ever he could find synonym for one
of them he used it.
On his first trial with talking pictures
the star said TO the microphone, MY

Say, I've got great name for this

dangerous less" sound. Then the rec
ord was played back for the star to
hear his voice.
Us it possible?" asked Dix. at
sounds as if I was in den of snakes -
And from that moment he began to
compile his "Essless Dictionary"
Unfortunately for the enterprise, how
ever, the elimination of lisping was
effected by the engineers short time
after Dix began the work, and now he
knows there will be no market for the
book.

Southern Voices.
HARRY POLLARD, director of I

HARRY POLLARD, director of Uni
4 versal's "Show Boat" declares
that in making this picture he took
great pains to collect as many voices
with southern accents as he could;
partly because the locale of the picture
was the lower part Of the Mississippi
River and partly because the southern
voices are naturally low-pitched.
Laura La Plante has one of the
best voices for recording that I have
tested" declared Pollard She was
born in st. Louis and her early life
was spent in that city. Her voice is
low and while she has lost the localisms
OF the South, the tone quality is still
there"
In this connection it is interesting to
know that Joseph Cherniavsky, musical
director at Universal, favors the use
of southern voices for movietone. Ac-
cording to Cherniavsky he finds that
the southern voices record better than
any other.
THE pitch of the southern voice
is especially suitable for< movietone.
They have, however, one grave defect
which must be guarded against and
that Is the liaison. the linking of one
word with another" says this Russian
musician.
Il find. however, that when the
southerner's voice is trained 1t records
beautifully and reproduces more ma
turally than any other.

tire Summer for these puppeteers to
make their puppets, scenery, etc; to
study and create the proper motion for

Masters of the art have discovered
from ancient times down that the
marionettes develop personalities OF
their own and sometimes seem to take
things into their own hands. so that
after creating a marionette the master
must needs study the temperament of
his creation. 1t is fascinating to see
these small actors manipulated from
a bridge above them. They are hung
from horizontal beam and the pup
peteers, standing on their bridge,
manipulate the strings with the deftest
touch possible, so deft that when the

body actually seems to undulate.
