Because the figures moved very
rapidly use of the camera technique
known as banning" or twisting the
camera on a solid base. was also
impractical.
After several conferences Of tho
technical staff, it was decided that
the only possible way to photograph
WelSsmuller swinging across the
scene was to mount cameras on
every possible angle from which his
inquire could be seen moving through
the trees.
A large diagram of the scene was
drawn and the angles were worked
out so that none Of the cameras
would overlap the section being
photographed by another.
Some of the cameras were placed
on stands reaching eighty feet into
the air so as to be on a parallel
with Weissmuller's line of move
ment; others were placed in the
tops of trees near the action.
A group of cameras was placed
on the ground to cover every
possible angle from below. Two
cameras were placed in trees several
hundred yards away from long
Shots"
Finally the scene was ready to be
taken. Weissmuller stood in place
at the top of the highest tree, hold
ing a long vine which was securely
attached TO limb twenty yards
away. To this tree was attached
another vine which he could seize
for another swing through space.
w. S. Van Dyke, director of the
production, yelled, Ready! Camera!
Action!"
The scene began with Weissmuller
sailing through space on vines past
the battery of fourteen cameras,
each camera exposing 100 feet of
film in one take which made a
total of l,4O0 feet of film for the
scene.
Said the director when told of
the total f1lmage used in the scene,
"You cameramen had better be
good. ThereTl be no retakes on this
action"
A Flip the Frog cartoon novelty,
entitled "The Milk Man." and the
latest release of the Hearst Metro
tone News will complete the bill.

successfully adapted its melody to
Mos Eur Yesho' uossi. It is now
being sung all over the world. The
melody is beautiful and blends well
with the text of the prayer.
Another instance. At the be-
ginning Of the nineteenth century,
French cantorS sang the New Years
benediction to the melody Of the
MarSeillaise. At the same period
Eglish cantors used to sing the same
prayers to the tune of a we'll
known Irish folk-Song. German
cantorS sang Shir Hama-alot to the
tune Of Fra Diavolo"
Rosenblatt points out that the
adoption of lay melodies for re-
ligious purposes is not at all a bad
idea, providing it be done with
understanding and good taste.

Director
of a Play
Saints Parade viii Open
Tonight at the
Civic.
TINE Civic Theater will open to

THE Civic Theater will open to-
4 night with a new play which
is unusual from several points of
view.
First, a guest director replaces
Hale MacKeen for this production.
Second, the guest director, Whit
field Cook, is also the author of the
piece. Third, the play is of a new
type.
Cooks opus is called Saints
Parade" which title, since the play
is written about very ordinary hu-
man beings, is presumably part of
the irony of what is described as an
ironic comedy.
The locale of Saints Parade" Is
a summer resort hotel where come
some guests whose lives touch each
other for the first time and whose
interminglings set going four sep
arate plots.
In handling his material, Cook
has used the panoramic play struc-
ture employed in Grand Hotel"
on the metropolitan stage and in
Union Depot" Of the movies.
There is, perhaps, no other SINH
larity to the two plays mentioned
beyond this technical one for
Saints Parade" was written prior
to the production of Grand HoteP
and had already been successfully
produced in a Connecticut try-out
town before its more famous con-
temporary went on in New York.
Saints Parade" has but single
setting, but there are six scenes in
the three acts which knit the &C
lions and reactions of the several
groups together.
The comedy is supplied largely
through the exposition Of commonly
known types"
Principal comedy honors will prob
ably go to Lilith Baur, who again
has a somewhat broad part similar
to that which she played in 1.-THE
Camel Through the Needles Eye"
last month.
Others in the large cast include
Mrs. George M. Bailey, DR.. j. Jerome
Littell, j. Perry Meek, Miss Phyllis
Nordstrom, Mrs. Mary Bogert and
Miss Jane Sky.
The play will be on view all next
week.

Trojans to Use
Revamped Shift
Howard Jones Expected to Put
Ball Carrying Burden on
Veterans

Los Angeles, Sept. 22.-(F1-Coach
Howard Harding Jones has switched
horses, so to speak, in his tandem
shift this fall, in an effort to retain
for the University of Southern Cali
fornia It's national football honors.
One of the country's leading ex-
ponents of the full-team shift, Coach
Jones can't see where the Trojans
will be as strong as they were last
season, what with comparatively in
experienced requirements in two i'm
portant backfield positions. He adj
mits there is little to worry about in
the line.
This years revision Of the shift,
which moved into the tandem class
ification last fall, apparently is made
with the idea of placing most of the
ball carrying burden on the remain
ing seasoned veterans as well as to
utilize new-found speed.
The head man of Troy has no in
tentions Of discarding his famous
power plays. One Of these, the re-
verse which called on the left end
to 60 for consistent gains last year,
probably will be back again. The new
alignment makes possible the use
OF the left half as ball carrier. II
this develops, 1t would be radical
change, for the left half long has
been used almost entirely as a block
er.
There is some indication the full
back will do more blocking and less
running with the ball because Of the
lack Of experienced talent.
AS In the case Of the fullback posi-
ton, Jones has no one Of experience
for right half, an important blocking
assignment.

Cubs Excel at All But Hitting;
Ruth's Condition to Be
Important

New York, Sept. 22.-{PHI1nIess
the leading exponent of the strategic
value of the home run, Babe Ruth,
is in much improved health a week
hence, the Yankees likely will not
show any advantage over the Chicago
Cubs insofar as the cleanup blows Of
their outfielders are concerned in the
forthcoming battle for the baseball
championship of the world.
It is true the Yankees, on paper,
show heavier punch but this Is Off
set by the fact Ruth has to contend
with a bigger "tummy ache" than all
the rest of the outfielders combined.
If the Babe is not in there next
week doing something besides roar
ing his defiance to the enemy, on
wobbly legs, the Cubs may chase the
Yankees all over Colonel Rupperts
premises in the Bronx.
The only real difference between
the two outfield groups Is represent
ed by the batting averages Of Ruth
and Kiki Cuyler, who patrols right
field for the Cubs. The unofficial
season figures are .348 for Ruth and
only .286 for Cuyler, but that doesn't
tell the real story.
Where Ruth has been laid up and
lost considerable of his much-needed
strength, Cuyler has come down the
home stretch like a forest fire famed
by a gale. The fleet Kiki has been
producing the big cleanup wallop
when the Bruins needed 1t. He has
been hitting we'll over 800 for the
last six weeks.
Taking these facts into considera-
ton, plus Cuyler's far superior de-
fensive skill and base-running abil-
ity, the Cubs figure to concede little
or nothing to their American League
rivals in the outfield.
The veteran Riggs Stephenson is q
much more dangerous, consistent
hitter than Ben Chapman, the Yam.

The Kentucky colonel, Earle

Nodaks Preparing
For Opener With
Moorhead Dragon
Rip DabloW and Knute Belgium
on Injured List as Initial
Tilt Approaches

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 22.-tP)-
University of North Dakota gridders
were to wind up their practice Thurs
day afternoon for the opening con-
test of the season at Memorial stadi-
UNI here against Moorhead state
teachers college Friday evening.
Because of injuries, Coach C.. A.
West gave his squad another after
noon of drill Wednesday that was
without rough work and it was prob
able there would be no Scrinmage
Thursday.
Rip Dablow, first string blocking
back and, who will not play against
the Dragons, did not report. while
Knute Belgium, promising sophomore
wingback, had not returned to the
squad. Louis McCorrison, another
sophomore wingback, was limping
with a badly twisted ankle.
On the other hand, Einar Eckholm,
big tailback, was back at light drill
while Cohen, tackle who has been
laid up for week did but little
Goethel, another ankle casualty, is
not yet in condition to do much and
probably will not play Friday.
While scrinmage was exception
ally light. a long session of blocking
and tackling against dummies took
place. That was followed by tech
nical workout on the scrimmage
machine.
West gave his first string lineup a
long forward pass drill against the
second string defense. A big i'm
provement was noted in that depart
ment of the offense. With Bill Lcid-
holdt doing most of the passing, the
white jerseyed receivers pulled down
a good percentage of his losses
Pierce, Knauf, Gordon Dablow and
Meinhover did the receiving while
Pierce also took part in the passing
The last phase of the practice saw
the second ss:ingers take the ball and
throw passes at the regulars. There
also was a noticeable improvement
there, for the reserves had little sue
cess against Pierce, Knauf, Liedholdt
and Thorson, who presented a tight
defense against the losses Of Eek
holm and Neuenschwander.
Head Freshman Coach Glenn Leticll
looked over so Sioux yearling grid
ders as the main contingent of the
1882 squad reported for the first
time. Following preliminary work
the group was split into four teams
receiving instruction under JOE
Bourne, Manuel Wexler, Lloydt
