Doubled


 There are just twice as many opportunities now for screen struck girls-who are willing to work to duplicate the feat of Alice White in breaking into pictures.
 Alice began as a script girl, and there are now two script girls in- stead of one on every set. One girl has nothing to worry about except the dialogue which is plenty, not ing every word spoken in each take of scene, while the second girl keeps notes on the properties and business"
 Consecutive scenes on the same set may be taken several days apart, but chairs and tables and players clothes and jewelry must be the same for the later shots as before.
 The double duty, painstaking in detail, was found too much for a single worker.
 Most of the script girls, how ever, if they have further picture ambitions, have their eye on di- rector's job rather than stardom. That was how Dorothy Arzner, who has directed Ruth Chatterton and Clara Bow and numerous other stars, laid the foundation for her career.

Beautiful Art Photograph

Word has been received by Auto
Electric Service, Ray Teets Goodyear
dealer at Oakland, of the award of
beautiful art photograph of the U. S.
S. Akron, worlds largest airship,
framed in duralumin, the material
used in the framework structure of
this 1eviathan of the air. Mr.. Teets
wins the picture, which is to be dis
played in his service station window
as soon as it is received, for making
his sales quota in the July-August
sales contest for Goodyear dealers,
known as the Dealers Annual Zeppe-
lin sales race. s.
81 have seen pictures showing this
award" Mr.. Teets said, "and it is one
of the most worthwhile trophies of
such a race, besides being a memento
of this giant airship that will become
increasingly valuable as time goes
on, as an historical feature.
II certainly am going to prize the
picture a great deal. The sales con-
test was of great value in helping US
get the maximum amount of business
this summer, and it put Goodyear
tires on the cars of many people who
did not know before what our service
could do for them"
