SPRINGFIELD PORT
IS"UP IN THE air.
City Treasurer F. E.. PieSchel
Refused to Sign Warrant
for Land Payment

Frank E. Pieschel, Springfield city
treasurer, threw monkey wrench
into his city's airport project recently
when he refused to sign the warrant
for the payment of the $1,000 pur-
chase price of the land recently
bought by the city council for an
airport joining the city on the west.
Mr.. Pieschel stated that there is no
money in the treasury available for
payment of this purchase and sent
the council a letter stating his stand
His letter follows:
"The city charter of Springfield
provides the manner and means for
the passage of ordinances and resolu-
tons for the expenditures of money
belonging to the city and defines the
manner of altering the budget and
transferring moneys from one city
fund to another. The attorney gen.
eral and the state auditors depart
ment have held that money belonging
to the public utilities fund cannot, un-
der any circumstances, be transfer
red to any other city fund.
Because of my responsibilities as
city treasurer and my liability as
such and the liability of my bonds
men, l am constrained to notify you
that | must decline to sign any city
warrants for the expenditures of pub
lie moneys where ordered by your
council contrary to the provisions OF
the city charter, the statutes, and the
opinions and holdings of the office OF
the attorney general and of the state
/ auditing department"
Mr.. Pieschel informed the Advance
Press that he is merely protecting
himself in the discharge of his Off
cial duties and does not care to run
the risk of being a party to the
transaction in view of the legal OBJ
stacles to paying the money.

a professional bum who walked into
the office of the Worthington Times

he was gathering together little

he presented himself for his physical
examination for the registration OF
transients in that city! Registration
of transients may be a new idea, but
the buns idea is newer!

will have a wide popular appeal and point to
the failure of Alice in Wonderland" as proof.
Needless to say, that film was too poorly made
to be held as q criterion. The same thing has
been done on numerous other occasions when
the poor business done by wishy-washy films
has been cited as proof that the public doesn't
want clean pictures
"Music will play important part in the
fantasies I am sure will be made" Golywyn
ventures. Ever since the introduction Of
sound into pictures, producers have wanted
to capitalize upon the universal appeal Of
music. Their first attempts proved disastrous
due to the fact that they shot in the wrong
direction.
Audiences don't want q character IN .
dramatic story breaking into song for no reason
whatever. picture Of that nature carries its
audience by its realism, all Of which Is destroyed
by the song. II there's legitimate place,
that's something else again.

fantastic ideas In the new pictures.
Historical events Of Importance and dramauc
interest will be offered as screen entertainment.
Old classics which have made their authors
live through generations will find their way
Into motion picture theaters.
These are some of the expressions Of Samuel
C,oldwyn, one of the film industrys foremost
producers, during q discussion on the ueno
motion pictures will take as result OF the
intense censorship campaign OF recent montlS'
There Is no occasion for any but the incom-
petent producers to become alarmed over the
public demand for q cleanup Of cinema prod
ucts." Goldwyn declares. IF there are any
producers who must rely upon vulgarlty to put
their pictures across, because OF their naplnty
to create good entertainment, they have cause
to worry for they win be forced out OF business:
However for the legitimate producers-and
by that I mean producers with foresight ana
ability-the tremendous interest now being
taken in motion pictures by the public cannot
help but have q favorable reaction. The fact
that such great cry for clean pictures has
been raised in all parts of the United States
shows the desire of the public to attend the
aters provided they can see the type of enter
tainment they want.
I'm my opinion a great many persons have
acquired false idea of what the public is de-
manding in its cry for clean pictures. That
doesn't mean that everything pertaining to life
as 1t goes on about us must be whltewasneo.
Only a few radicals are demanding cleanup
to that extent. The mass Of the people simply
want pictures suitable for family consumption.
ct HAT doesn't mean that sex must be elim1-
mated from screen stories It doesn't even
mean that we no longer can have sex In
motion picture. In fact, there Is one scene
between Anna Sten and Fredric March IN We
Live Again. adapted from Tolstoy's Resurrec-
tion' that defy any censor to criticize. 1t Is
done far too beautifully.
GOOD taste Is the sum and substance OF
what the public is asking today. 1t wants pic
lures which will be entertaining to whole
family-mother, father, sister and brother.
While any of them as individuals might lower
their standards, when they attend theater in
q group they want to see something Of which
none need be ashamed And it is to the movies
more than any other place that families go
In body.
81 sincerely believe that knowledge Of the
audience it entertains is by far the best CEN
sorship our industry could have. Many were
beginning to overlook that audience. The cru
SADIE for clean films has awakened them again
to the existence of this audience. As result,
the industry has been placed on a much sound
er foundation"
Goldwyn believes that there will be very
definite trend toward fantasies and is backing
up his opinion by the injection OF very IAN
tastical musical number for the closing sequence
Of Eddie Cantor's new film, kid Millions" 1t
depicts the realization Of boys dream OF all
the ice cream he can eat.
Although the number which will be done IN
color, will run only six or seven minutes op the
~ - 5tSs<t>o1sDdHf s<eESo@''F@

by fully so per cent And the number also WIN
be very entertaining for adults.
OF course, all Of the Cantor pictures, as well
as other musicals, might be classed as fantasies
In that they are highly imaginative creations.
Nobody Is expected to believe them and nobody
does. Every one knows that beautifully clad
chorus girls don't suddenly appear from no
where and start doing q song-and-dance routine
in real life as they do in kid Millions"
Every one knows that nothing as spectacular
as the waterfall number in ''Footlight Parade"
possibly could be presented on stage. Yet
those things are accepted by theater audiences
because they are interesting. Realism naturally
has q place on the screen, but a fertile imagina-
ton can yield just as much entertainment.
THIS Winter Goldwyn viii make THE Wizard
of OF" and Hal Roach now Is completing
~Babes In Toyland." Both Of these pictures will
have direct appeal to children. Yet they should
prove almost equally as entertaining to adults.
So far they are the only films of this nature
definitely scheduled However, the producer
believes that the coming year may bring many
more of this type.
Certain cynics contend that fantasies never

"An types Of musical productions come un-
der a different classification. They throw
reality to the winds and, because Of that, any.
thing from solo to huge chorus is acceptable.
Producers have been successful in follow
ing that policy for the last two years. And
they will turn toward fantasies the most
adaptable of all to any kind Of music they
want to inject.
Historical events also due for consid-
efably more popularity as screen material than
they have enjoyed in the past. They viii be
dramatized, enlivened with a powerful love
theme and made gripping in their appeal
"Films such The House Of Rothschild,'
'Cimarron,' Henry VIII and Madam Du Barry
are good examples of how historical subjects
will be presented on the screen. Fundamentally
each of these pictures is historically correct
and as such they have q great educational
value.
"They also proved immensely popular with
the public because the bare facts were embel-
lished, not distorted, with dramatic grandeur.
and powerful romance was injected. I am
quite sure that we shall see good many films
of this kind during the next year." .
There has been considerable agitation for
the division of pictures into classes and plain
statement in all advertising matter as to
whether a film is suitable for the family, for
adults only or for children. While this may
be done in few instances, 1t never can be-
come popular for economic reasons. The chill
dren Of the Nation are important to the
f1lm industry, but they, alone cannot pay for
the making of picture.
The demand for clean movies isn't de-
mand for child pictures. Naturally there are
going to be clean films, in other words, pictures
devoid of vulgarity, which will not appeal
to youngsters because Of the sophistication Of
their subject.
children read newspapers today. They
~ know what's going on in the world. Con-
sequently, they don't have to be sheltered and
protected when they enter movie theaters.
They simply must have life presented in .
decent, rather than vulgar, manner.
Citing still other fields from which studios
will draw their supply of material, Goldwyn
continues:
There are innumerable classics Of literature
which have come down to us through genera
tions, as well as those which have been written
more recently, which can and will be made
into excellent pictures.
Charles Dickens great novel, David Cop
perheld, Is being filmed at the present time
Gene Stratton Porter's popular book. The
Girl of the Lmberlost, already has been made,
and I understand that several Of her other
novels will be brought to the screen soon.

Here, Mr.. Keller explains, the men are
shown all of the little tricks of enlarg
ing finger prints by photography to
point where every little detail may be
carefully studied. The laboratory has
solved several important cases in this
manner.
Next, Mr.. Keeler's pointer leads you

There are few limits to where the

known as moulage, which Mr.. Keller
and his associates have developed to
an amazing degree of perfection. 1t is
the art OF making casts Of any object

But 1t Is in the art of discovering de-

laboratory excels any similar bureau In
the world. This is done through Mr..
Keeler's own development Of the poly
graph or. as 1t is popularity and some
what enormously termed, the ''lie-de-

The polygraph registers the subjects

period of time when he is being ques-

questions, large part of them entire

is suspected. Whenever a relevant
question is slipped in, it Is noticed
from the blood pressure and respira-
ton charts that these will fluctuate
distinctly when he attempts to prac-
tice an intentional deception. While
the machine has never been admitted
in court as evidence, it has been espe-
cially useful in breaking down sus-
