Panel Signals" and Radio.

a N innovation in motion picture pho.
Biography and direction is said To
have made possible the filming of Co
lunbia's production "Dirigible," now at
the Metropolitan.
Much OF the action above the clouds,
as we'll as the close-ups of Jack Holt
and Ralph Graves, were recorded by
automatic, electrically controlled cam
eras, fastened to the plane and placed
in such positions as to enable the
actors to photograph themselves with
out the aid OF cameraman."
The cameras were sighted in much
the same manner as rifles would be
sighted before the plane left the ground,
The apparatus was driven by means of
batteries concealed in the fuselage of
the plane.
Not content to rely entirely upon
radio for communication with pilots,
Director Frank Capra made use of the
system Of panel signaling" This con-
sistS OF large code letters in let black
upon huge white panels spread upon
the ground and constantly manipulated
by experts, the planes above noting and
taking new formations as directed
While Capra shouted directions with
his eyes focused on the planes above
using fhgh-powered field glasses tn more
clearly observe the pilots, his assistant
at the radio apparatus broadcast di-
rections to the pilots so that there
could be no Feasible slip-up.

THAT Incompatible character WON

THAT Incompatible character wom-
an of the National Theater Players.
Mistress Adelaide Hubbard, likes to look
back on the past, sometimes, even though
she is a strong believer of living, men
tally at least, in the present; for she Is
convinced the wise people of earth keep
young and do not bother their heads
about keeping in step with Time.
Mrs. Hubbard, who can play an old
lady Of 90 as well as she can q matron
OF As, is strong in the conviction that
the way to preserve young heart Is to
be around young people. or. failing that,
then to chum with people who have
young ideas. That is one reason, she
says, why she likes the theater. Its
real people never grow old"
In her day Mrs. Hubbard has played
on many stages. She has met many
actors and actresses, some OF the great
and some not so great. She finds that
these Thespians all are endowed with
the gypsy heart--the heart that never
grows old.
Once in a while, however, she likes to
take stock, and the only way a man or
woman can take stock Is to look back
ward, recall what has gone before and
compare 1t with the present.
Mercy On US" says Mrs. Hubbard
"Our oldsttme playeTS, even when they
had reached ripe ageS,sWere more like
school boys and girls than they were
like a&ed men and women. They lived
UP tosthe minute. Take them all~-John

THE Party" by Dawn Powell, de-

comedy which amusingly sets

lines Of business, and THE Sailors

THUS the Theater Guild lays its
cards on the table sufficiently
far in advance to enable those
who may wish to become Subscrib-
erS and to assure themselves Of
worthwhile theatrical entertain
ment during the coming Fall and
Winter months. 1t is by making
its preparations months ahead
and going out after prospective
| patrons that the Guild inSureS
itself against failure in its enter
/ pr1SeS. And it is by this method
! that the Guild and the producers
who may become affiliated with
, 1t hope to re-establiSh the theater
in sections Of the country that
now but seldom, If ever, enjoy its
pleasures. There is a certainty,
a SureneSs in this movement that
has carried it to success in the
past and is relied upon to repeat
that success in the future. It is
perhaps the only big effort that
has been made in recent years to
revive and purify theatrical taste
that has become woefully negli-
gible as the result of modern
popular entertainment.
\
THE saddest blow that has come
to the theater in a generation
is the death of David Belasco,
whose contributions to dramatic
art in America will illumine the
brightest pages of it's story. Proper
| tribute should and doubtless will
be paid by masters of fact and
language. 1t is not the work of a
tyro. The great artist of the the
alter trod rough and rugged road,
Frightening it all the way with the
beauties Of his art and joyously
giving all that he had without ever
counting the sacrifice. The world
will miss him-and probably many
| without ever knowing why,

masks are dropped and fundamental
traits of character come to the surface.
The police allow none Of the passengers

CAMILLE AT MOORE THEATRE

A modern version, of one of the all
time classics Of the theatre will appear
in Seattle Sunday night when the
cambridge Players present Camille"
The production will be a lavish,
modernized and modern dress version
Of the famous and beloved classic of
Partisan love. This "today's" produc-
ton of yesterdays" outstanding
drama was presented this year with
unequaled success in New York.
I'm 1856 when it first played in
New York, it was called a play of to-
day, said Carl Reiter, manager of
the Moore Theatre. and in 1881,
when it was revived in New York IL
was still called a play OF today.
Camille is deathless drama And as
such it comes to Seattle in its first
performance in England for over
twenty years The part of Camille has
been glorified by such outstanding
world stars as Bernhard, Duse, Ellen
Terry, Olga Nethersole, Clara Morris,
Ethel Barrymore and Eva LeGallienne.
This weeks production of the fam
GUS French masterpiece will reveal
Leona Powers as new and surpris-
ing Camille. Those who remember her
portrayal Of Sadie Thompson in Rain
cannot afford to miss this dramatic
treat" Howard Miller will play
Armand in the Dumas revival.
The production will be an elaborated
one with augmented and specially
trained company. Every effort is be-
ing made by the Bainbridge manage
ment to make the Seattle production
of Camille theatrical event that will
be long remembered.
Miss Powers and Mr.. Miller saw the
New York production Of Camille as
presented by Eva LIE Caffeine. They
are thus better able to give to Seattle
audiences completely new version of
an old classic
