The four mountain sheep captur- ed short time ago, two males and two females, seem to be getting along alright on Chechoker grub. They seem to prefer most of all po- Itatoe peeling, flapiacks and tobac- leo. If this tobacco habit gets a good start, most likely we will have another bureau in Alaska from Washington, to find out why mountain goats chew tobacco. And it will not be uncommon in the Park when a tourist stops a minute to shave up some nigger-
 head to fill his meeshchaum with, he will be surrounded by ring of goats begging for a chew or pinch.

New Studio Jargon.

SUCH idiomatic expressions as shoot. y
~ "kill' and cut" have long had their
day in the motion picture business, but
that day is rapidly fading out with the
advent of talking pictures.
On the Hungarian set where the
First ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS feature, 1.-THE
Squall," Is being filmed and synchro-
nized, new battery Of studio jargon
strikes the ear. An interview with VII
liam McGann, the assistant, who has
charge Of the technicalities Of sound
and dialogue, discloses the following Cd
dities Of language:
We've got it,: signifying the cam
eras are ready for the recording.
Lock 'em up: command to lock
up the sound-proof booths containing
| cameras and cameramen so that the
sound of the cameras are not registered
in the microphone.
Marked up: meaning that cameras
and recording devices are ready for the
A. G. (auxiliary current).
1.-THE Mixer: the gentleman who pre-
sides over an elaborate instrument
board controlling volume Of voice and
sound.
Turn 'em over: the command to the

Cutting wakes: preparation OF the

"Playback": the device which repro

These are the important colloquialisms
that Alexander Korda, the director,

| but impractical Maurice Tourneur; and
his scientific precision, added to Tour
neur's marvellous appreciation Of pic
torial beauty, was productive OF many
memorable films.
THE Last of the Mohicans" was
Browns first single-handed effort Che
was given his chance when Tourneur
was seriously injured in q fall from the
directorial platforn). Since then he
has been developing his knowledge and
his ability in the unspectacular but
methodical manner that appears to be
typical Of engineers. (Witness the rise
Of Herbert Hoover)
Some of Clarence Browns quietly
meritorious productions are THE Sig
nal Tower" 1.-THE Acquittai," 1.-THE
Goose Woman" and "Smouldering Fires
(all made at Universal City,. Each Of
them revealed an admiraoIe degree OF
mathematical exactness and still more
admirable understanding or humanity.
Brown realized that for a character to
be sympathetic" 1t must first be real.
In all Of his pictures, with the excep-
ton of 1.-THE Trail of 49," the charac-
tiers have been Of predominant impor-
lance; he has derived dramatic interest
from the simple activities of credible
people, rather than from complications
" -.
In THE Trail Of '98" he attempted
to produce a stupendous super feature,
at tremendous cost. He went against
his own grain, with the result that in
this ambitious epic the leading char
acters were as phoney as the double
exposure snow-slides; only the humble
extras" In whom Brown was really
interested, were convincingly real.
He has two other important pictures
to his credit: "The Eagle" which was
Rudolph Valentines swan song. and
"Kiki," In which Norma Talmadge
proved that Lenore Uric is an extraor-
binary actress.
Clarence Browns next picture will
be well worth watching. It is to be called
"Tha Wonder of Women" and Is adapt
ed from stephen Tremholtz's Wife," by
Herman Sudermann (of all people,. 1t
will be Browns first venture into the
strange new field of the talkies. He
is entering this field with point of
view that is as commendable as it is
unique. Because he was neither q ham
actor nor a stock company property
man before he discovered the movies,
he b not oppressed by notions that he
has derived distantly, Of the so-called
speaking stage" He does not believe
that talking picture must necessarily
be more than cheap imitation of
stage play
He believes that the best silent pic
ture was one in which the smallest
possible number of words were printed
and that the best talking picture will
be one in which the smallest possible
number of words are spoken.
Furthermore, his experience as an
electrical engineer will stand him in
good stead in the sound-proof studios
He won't have to take any back talk
from the numerous technicians who
have lately brought their charts, their
graphs, their blue-prints and their
theories into the formerly unscientific
movie business.

Nose News.

ONLY one characteristic Of the sue

varies from a straight line. That is
her nose. The curve Of the lip may
be different. Many and varied are hues
of the hair, and the eyes may be light
or dark. The actresses may be long
or short, fat or thin, but one feature
never changes In popularity. The finely
chiseled nose Is always possessed by
the successful film star.
Lucille Webster GleaSon'S nose Is a
trifie too pronounced in real life for
beauty, but in "reep' life 1t gives her
that perfect profile so sought after.
Virginia Valli. Evelyn Brent, Norma

Corrine Griffith all possess lovely. slen-
der noses.
Dorothy Dwan won her claim to
beauty by having the perfect profile
Of pictures. Her nose Is absolutely
straight, and slender, such as artists
rave about. Possible exceptions to this
type nose are those of Vera Reynolds,
Alice White, Nancy Carroll, Anita
Stewart and Bebe Daniels. Theirs are
not perfect, but their ability has car
ried them past the danger signal.

Redskin Critics.

TO discover what reaction the newer
phase in motion pictures Of techni-
color and synchronized sound recording
would have upon more primitive
people, reservation Indians were the
guests recently at private showing in
a production in which they themselves
had appeared.
The showing took place in the pro-
lection room Of Paramount's Hollywood
studio, and the picture was "Redskin,"
starring Richard Dix.
Curious to view the picture In which
they had appeared, and even more
curious to hear the Sound box from
which, they had been told Indian melo-
dies would be played in accompaniment,
the Redmen comprised as unusual a
group of critics as ever ventured to give
motion picture opinion.
AS scene after scene was enacted. as
zamecnik'S music came forth from the
sound box" Paramount officials closely
watched the stolid faces of their audi
ence. But there was little to CLEAN
from the inScrutable countenances, and
Paramount could only wait-and Won
der.
The final fade-out was reached. the
last strains of music fingered In the air,
and then suddenly curious sounds be-
gan to issue from the Threats Of the
Redmen. What in the picture could
have displeaSed them so markedly? One
Indian was approached. do you like
the picture?" he was asked. The
critic" gave grunt. which might have
meant anything, listening moment to
the continued murmurings Of his fellow
men. and then burst forth excitedly:
"Music-like music. me take back music
box" Light burst upon bewildered
Paramount officials. The Indians were
only attempting to hum the melodies
they had frst been hearing!
