Paving Stone Brings Fame,

A CONVENIENT paving stone enabled
Victor Moole, famous Comedian

Moore appeared simultaneously in

studio during production Of Dangerous

Old P. T. Himself

reconstructed more than any other fell

Why?
Well, just because Grace Moore is
going to make her first motion picture,
and the story of that picture is to be
based on the life of Jenny Lind, the
immortal songstress Of years and years
ago. Ancient chronicles have 1t that

THE most constant habit Of the screen
seems TO be to keep an eye glued to
the daily paper, and when the headlines
become thick, wide and black TO shunt
the news into the studios, call out the
stan of writer's and command that with
in the hour a picture shall be con-
structed based on the current event.
Many examples Of this may be noted
within the past few months. Chicago
and Wall Street have been hashed and
rehashed in front OF the camera, and
feats Of the air and even explorations
have had miles of film devoted to them.
A certain gambler whose braggadocio
has been made the subject of countless
dramas and idols Of the moment whose
features could be nodded satisfactorily
under the grease paint have been sub
jected to the cameras microscopic gaze.
In other words, the screen has tried
to keep up with the times. The Byrd
film was an example Of fine efficiency,
for instance, in the Paramount studios.
Within the hour of the commanders
arrival this film was being shown at
leading theaters all throughout the
country. Furthermore. not content with
mere flashes of events that tranSpired
In the polar regions, Paramount sent
its best cameramen to select 80 miles of
film from which could be weeded the
most significant and stimulating Sc
quenceS.
The latest news event to be capital
lied by the screen is prison life and the
rioting that has attracted Nation-w wide
attention. After a few false starts and
unfortunate results by other companies,
it remained for Metro Goodwin Mayer
to summarize, grinly and effectively,
the situations that have transpired. In
THE Big House." armed with the ablest
technical equipment and q cast we'll
nigh perfect, they have handled the
material before them discreetly and
sometimes brilliantly.
But-and this has been the Waterloo
of so many fine pictureS-they have in
sisted on weaving into this tragedy of
prison life a story of the 10-cent variety
which has neither conviction, rhyme nor
reason. Right here may be seen one of

Atmospheric Beer.

MISS EILEEN CREELMAN, whose
words of wisdom concerning the
various vicissitudes of motion picture
stars enlighten many a newspaper, has
good deal to say about Evelyn Laye's
recent return TO this country and her
approaching debut in the talking film
"Lilh." Says she: THE English star IS
well pleased with the story, a tale of
Vienna cabarets. While in Vienna this
Spring she visited several beer gardens
In order to study the atmosphere"
This news should put vim and vigor
and sense Of the eternal fitness of
things in many a downhearted star.

Soon after this came the first

"Slum," you know, is what they fed
the boys in the Army overseas.
The recipe varied according to what
the cook might have on hand but it
would most accurately be described as
beef stew. For the most part it was
beef and potatoes cooked in their own
juices. Sometimes carrots, onions or
peas were added. but ordinarily 1t had
no embellishments.

Sir James Talks for Screen.

CIR JAMES BARRIE is at last on the
screen. The shy little Britisher,
beloved wherever English is spoken for
his whimsical novels and plays, was
finally caught by Fox Movietone News
in a most natural and Barriesque
setting.
In his "talkie" debut Sir James is
shown on a return to "Thrums." The
occasion for the return was the de-
cision of natives of Kirriemuir, birth
place and scene Of most of his quaint
tales, to honor their famous son with
the freedom of the CITY,"
Barriesque as can be are his re-
marks to them:
"Shakespeare's Cordelia lamented
that she could not heave her heart into
her mouth, but my difficulty is in keep
ing mine out of it.
Sometimes have met you, a few Of
you on the brae or in the square, and
thought for moment that you were
my old friends, or parents, or grand
parents ever so like you but younger.
The greatest bond of all is that so
many Of your forbears now lie with
mine in the sacred place so near this
part"

Television to Be Adapted
to System - Inventor
Says Work Mere Begin
ming of Possible Uses for
New Device.

Gloucester Mass. May IS (UP)-
A radio eye for airplanes, enabling
a fer to see through the densest fog,
has been created in the Gloucester
laboratory of John Hays Hammond,
Jr.
The inventor, famed for his radio
research work. believes that this lat
est product of his genius represents
a major step toward alleviating the
airs greatest hazard
In the operation Of the new de-
vice. three radio compass stations
equipped with direction finders are
located alongside the airport. on
place above the field an automatic
radio transmitter broadcasts a con-
tinuous signal.
Operators at the compass stations
train their direction finders on 1t and
bearings thus taken arc automatlcal-
" transmitted by wire line to tele-
vision station near the airport. The
point where the three bearings
cross indicates the exact position OF
the plane in the sky.
Tclcyision Eye Used
Above the miniature airport
which has been used in the Ham
mond experiments is a "teleVlslon
eye" Movement Of the eye, which
represents the airplane, is controlled
by three arms representing the radio
bearings taken by the compass sta
tons. Just as a microphone is linked
with a broadcast transmitter, the
eye is connected with the television
station.
AS the plane moves the model field
rotates under the eye as ?, matterof
convenience, because the television
apparatus is too cum bersome to ro-
tate. In effect, this is the same as the
eye moving 10 correspond with the
planes position. The pilot sees a
speck move across a small television
screen in front of him in the cock
pit That speck is the plane. The
screen presents a clear picture of the
landing field below, regardless OF the
density Of fog.
Only Start OF Plan
Hammond referred to his latest in
vention as Just starter OF many
other new developments"
1T will not be long" he said. be
