may not speak them correctly. Any one of the
scores Of persons required on set may cough,
sneeze make some other noise. A piece Of
film may buckle in q camera.
Or the intricate sound apparatus may go
~haywire." Sound devices are what bring the
greatest number of gray hairs to a director.
There many things to 60 wrong as q
tracing of the sound channels will show.
Sound Is picked up originally by one or more
microphones placed in advantageous positions.
First 1t passes through q mixing board, operated
by an expert mixer whose job is to regulate
the sound by increasing decreasing its
volume that perfect tone will be recorded.
The mixer sits in a soundproof booth so
that the only sounds he can hear are those
picked up by the microphone. Thus he inn
medately catches any outside or undesired
noise. He is the man who okays or rejects
each take from a sound standpoint
After passing through the mixing board, the
sound is transmitted to the disc or Aim upon
which it is to be recorded. In the recording
room, too, highly trained men are necessary.
Control OF all motors, operating both cameras
and sound apparatus, is in their hands and It
is essential that the two be perfectly synchro-
nized.
There are two methods of recording sound
on film. 1t can be recorded the side of the
picture film entirely separate MIN. Or
the two the latter Is by far the more salts
factory since 1t permits both the picture and
the sound track to be developed to the highest
degree of perfection.
After the entire picture has been shot and
developed it must be cut and assembled. This
is done by expert cutters under the supervision

Exposing the Secrets Of a Thousand and
One odd Jobs That Haze to Be Carried
on Behind the Cameras in Casting q
Spell Of Romance on Fa0m1te Stars.

1t Is the assistant directors job TO make
that everything is in readiness by the time
the director appears on the set. Players must
be checked to make sure they all ready.
Electricians must arrange their lights that
the set is lighted just right. And cameras
must bet set up for the first scene
Naturally, the assistant director doesn't
touch the lights or cameras himself. But he
is held responsible for their being IN readiness.
Asst on the set Is the director. Prom this,
- 1t would seem that he has the easiest job
of all. On the contrary, his is the most diff
cult
AS a rule, the director has spent hours the
night before going over his script that he
will know exactly what he Is going to shoot
during the day. Often he has had to confer
with writers on the changing of certain scenes
lines Of dialogue. He has no rest during
the filming of a picture since responsibility for
the entire company is placed upon his Shout
derS by studio executives.
Back in the days of silent pictures the ac-
tual shooting was comparatively simple. Once
the lights and cameras were set, the camera
men merely turned their cranks while the
players enacted scene under the close d.
rection of the director.
Now, however, things different. The d.
rector no longer can give orders to his players
during the filming Of q scene 50 each scene
must be rehearsed beforehand. The sound
technicians must line up their micrOphones so
that they will best catch all lines of dialogue.
Then the lines must be spoken for the
mixer" who controls all sounds passing
through the sound apparatus. And the appa-
ratIs- itself must be tested to make sure that
its motors are perfectly synchronized with the
motors which operate all cameras
Finally the director says, Turn 'em over"
The days work actually Is started.
In all probability some thousands Of feet of
flm will be shot each day the company works.
Yet only small percentage of 1t will be
seen in the finished picture. The average pic

picture.
II it varies from this even q fraction Of an
inch, the sound emanating from the theater
loudspeakers will not be perfectly synchronized
with the action the screen. An actors
words will be heard either before after he
speaks them.
When the picture finally has been cut and
assembled it is ready for preview. A. q rule
q film is previewed for the first time while It
still Is several thousand feet over length. This
allows the director and studio executives TO
determine by audience reaction just which
scenes can best be shortened eliminated.
Occasionally a preview shows that entire
sequences have to be remade If an audience
laughs at dramatic scene or doesn't laugh
at something which is supposed to be funny,
there is something wrong with the picture end
it must be remedied.

RATE-MAKING
TO Be UPHELD
CuthbertSon Order Said to
Be Ready to Support
Utility System.

Lines are being drawn in the
public service commission for the
frst skirmish In the battle of the
Bloomington rate case" it was
learned today.
Commissioner Harry K. Cuth-
bertson, who. has the case in charge,
Is preparing an order said to up
hold the utility district method of
rate making much after the man
ner as asked in the intervening pc
tition filed by the insult interests.
Original petition was filed by
Bloomington asking electric rate re-
auctions in the city and Monroe
county. insult asked that the en-
tire southern Indiana power dis
trict be included in the rate making
as territory being served by a single
power loop.
Oral argument was held on this
point, and then commission en-
gineers proceeded to consider the
loop properties with no formal rul-
ing on the matter from the COM
mission.
In tne INTERIM the masters re-
port has been received in federal
court in the Martinsville rate case
where the single city unit plan of
rate making was upheld and the
loop power plan turned down.
Should the Bloomington order up
hold the loop plan of rate making
1t will mean the commission has re-
pudiated the Martinsville order, al
though so far it has been upheld in
court.
If Cuthertson does advance the
loop plan his chances Of success for
the order are that it may pass by
a three to two vote. He said that
he expects to have the order ready
for action early next week.
