Bell Sold "Skippy"

1t was Monta Bell who induced
Paramount to make picture OF
Percy l.. Crosbys cartoon charac-
ter "Skippy." Some Paramount
executives we're skeptical about
it. but Bells sales arguments
Clinched the deal.
Once the picture was pre-viewed
Director Bell was given a flat,
tering offer to return to the
Paramount fold. He will direct
personal Maid" with Nancy Car
roll, a story by Mrs. Fulton
Oursler. wife of Liberty's new
editor.
Bell, incidentally, as managing
editor of The Washington Herald
in the Eleventh Street days gave
Cartoonist Crosby his first en-
couragement by signing for his
newspaper output. Crosby re-
ceived $4,000 for the picture
rights to "Skippy."
Arrangements are already un-
der way for a Skippy sequel. 1t
will be called "Sooky" with young
Robert Coogan starred and, of
course Jackie Cooper prominent
in the action.
"Skippy" is described by the
industry as the picture which
has any and all censors hand
cuffed.

About Crime Stories

w. S. Sullivan of 1909 Belmont
Rd., writes that something should
be done to stop gangster pic,
lures. They are vulgar and COM
mon, he finds, and not true to
life.
To that I say we are in the
midst of the gangster cycle of
films and the duration of the
craze will depend entirely upon
the degree of excitement and
interest, the variety of incident
Hollywood can inject in the3 fea-
lures. Already many appea
Stereotyped. cut to pattern and
manifeStly synthetic portraits of
underworld figures.
The public will apply the most
effective censorship by remaining
away from the mediocre, just as
they did when the screen was
Surfeited with back stage stories
and the tiresome musical comedy
confectionS in colors.
Crime, in its unusual aspects, is
always interesting. That's why it
so often adorns the front pages.
Hollywood will stop making
gangster pictures when it runs
out of stories away from the COM
monplace. That day seems to be
just around the corner if what
one hears from the studios is
true.

Blackstone's best magic trick
was playing the Washington

Christmas in 1925 and gathering
$4,000 on the engagement. He
also excited the envy of his rival
magicians by giving an unofficial
showing at the White House
where he pulled rabbits, chickens,
ets., from the desks around the
Executive offices.
One Georgetown family will
never forget Blackstone. AS a
Washington Times Good Fellow
he outfitted them all with cloth,

and. delivering his presents in

ActOr-AnnOuncerS

Radio is doing its best to re-

a situation that can stand plenty
of relief.
Two annOuncerS have been
added to the staff at the COlum-
bia BrOadcaSting System, bring
ing the total to an even dozen.
The newcomers are Kenneth Rob
ertS and Edward Cullen, both of
Broadway.
Roberts was born in New York
city, graduated from De Witt
Clinton High School, and studied
law at st. Johns College for two
years. He left school to join the
cast of Christopher MOrIey's
HObOken production of Dion BOu-
cicault'S "After Dark" The pro-
ductiOn ran 81 weeks, a record
for stock companies, after which
Roberts became chief announcer
at station With in Brooklyn.
He came from there to WABC.
Cullen is from Buffalo, N. Y,
and was educated at St. Bona
ventures College. He too left
before obtaining his degree to go
on the stage. Ills first training
was with the Jessie BOnsteIIe
stock company, which played in
the Buffalo theater owned by
the father of Katherine Cornell.

TWAIN REALLY
PUT HIS KING
tON THE SPOT

Mark Twain, whose reputation
is that of a great humoriSt, in
reality was a cruSading philoso-
pher who made his points by
using incongruity as weapon.
His "A Connecticut Yankee In
King Arthur's Court" now at the
Fox Theater, is proof Of that
method.
Twain wrote this literary mas
terpiece with a two-fold purpose.
First to entertain the reader and
make the world laugh, and second
to put King Arthur, his knights
and times ION the spot" as it
were.
His opinion of the Knights of
the Round Table was irreverent.
John RuSkin and William Morris
had been writing about the
glamorous Middle Ages until the
American humorist felt nauseated,
and Tennyson's "Idylls of the
King" made Twain i'll. So he de-
cided to show up the king and his
henchmen as he saw chem, in
stead of as the glamorous figures
these and other hero-Worshipping
authors had projected.
He chose as his protagoniSt a
Yankee of native intelligence and
threw him into the midst of King
Arthur's court. Will Rogers is
that Yankee in the talking pic
ture version of the story which
reaches the screen under the alb
breviated title of "A Connecticut
Yankee"

NEW YORK

THE Trip to Pressburg," a play
by Leo Perutz, Viennese novelist

chased for production here by
Whitaker Ray and Worthington

made the American adaptation of
the play, which was presented in
Vienna last winter by Max Rein

Ferenc Molnar, in the leading
role.
Eugene Leontovich. who has
scored a success in Grand Hotel"

portrayal of the dancer, Grusin-
skaia, is not in the best Of health

cast for a brief rest after Satur-

role will be assumed next week

BROADCASTING
CREDITED TO
GERMAN

The first broadcaSting was in
a room in Karlsruhe, Germany,
in 1887, according to Clarence A.
O'Brien, Washington patent attor-
ney. In tracing the experimental
work which led up to radio broad
casting, Mr.. O'Brien gives first
credit to the German scientist,
Heinrich Hertz.
This first broadcasting, demon
strating the possibility of radio, is
thus described by Hertz himself:
when I placed the primary con-
ductor in one corner of a large
lecture room, IA meters long and
IL meters broad, the sparks could
be perceived in the farthest parts
of the room: the whole room
seemed filled with the oscillations
of the electro force"
The primary conductor used in
this experiment consisted of a
straight copper wire 5mm. in
diameter, to the end of which
were attached spheres 30cm. in
diameter, made of sheet zinc.
First To Apply 1t
While James Clerk Maxwell.
English physicist, first promul-
gated the theory in 1885," said
Mr.. O'Brien, 1T was reserved for
Hertz to discover and apply with
marvellous ingenuity the necessary
detector,' a resonating circuit
with an air gap, the resistance
Of which was broken down by well
timed impulses"
The results of Hertz'S work
were published in Wiedermann's
Annals, between 1887 and 1890,
showing with ample experimental
proof and illustration, that electro
magnetic action is propagated
with finite velocity through space.
Hertz found the velocity of elec-
/ trlclty to be equal to that of light
and moreover equal to the veloc-
ity of electric waves on metallic
wire.
The grand consequence of this
last discovery was that what had
hitherto been considered as cir
cult of electricity in a wire was
found to be really a movement
along the surface of the wire. He
also showed that electric waves
can be reflected as light waves;
that the eye is in itself an elec-
trical organ, and that if elec-
tricity were suppressed light in
the universe would disappear.
Hertz also came very near to
the discovery of the x-ray.
