Raps the Movies
"Most advanced peopIe-all
under the age of 23-deny that
the theater has any future at
all.
"The cinema Is a vast and vul-
gar machine for making every
body look, think, and behave
alike.
"Greta GarbO-a woman
have never seen, thank God!
Take the film, The Private
Life of Henry VIII Can you
think of anything more vulgar
or tawdry than the shabby pOr-
trayal of that great man?
Cinema audiences invariably
look as if they were dOped.
When they come out they all
look as if they had passed away.
/ say to myself, Here come the
corpseS looking for their cOffins.'
THE theater is a much more
healthy Stimulant to mind and
spirit than the cinema, which is
controlled by people who are es-
sentially vulgar, whose outlook
is low and base, and who are
imposing their foul minds on
the public"
This sounds much like a voice
from the dark ages. The living
theater can probably show just as
many depraved mentalities as can
the ranks of screen producers.
Hollywood has done too many fine
things for the amusement world,
elevated and inspiring things, to
have to worry about such drivel.

best OF the studio trlckSterS VeI
OF course, the Gustav Dore
drawings are of considerable alc
in securing the basic ideas for sets,
but here are some of the puzzllng
questions confronting the technical
men. If you can answer any with
authority, then please get in touch
with Mr.. Wurtzel at the Fox
Studio.
What does He'll look like? How
big is it? What are the torma-
tions? Like lava, or rock, or the
Carlsbad Caverns? Is there sky?
What kind of clothes do the citt-
zens wear? And how many?
What language do they speak?
An here are more of the items
that must be answered:
What are the features of MinoS,
who judges the souls, and of
Charon, who escorts them across
the river Acheron?
What does Charon's boat look
like, and how big is it, and do the
passengers row it or does some
other power make 1t go? How
wide is the Acheron?
Lacking the presence of a resi-
dent of the Internal regions, the
technical crew must draw upon
pure imagination to produce such
items as lake of ice; sea of
boiling pitch: makeup that will
make men and women appear to
be transparent; cloth that will not
burn; people who can be burned
without being burned q can't
quite figure that one out myself;
smoke that can be controlled as
to direction and density; clouds of
people flying through the air, but
without the help of airplanes or
balloons.
And all this must be created for
but a small portion of the film,
less than half, in fact. So far, 347
persons are at work preparing the
sets, costumes and other mystify-
ing knick-knacks.

"Crusades' Figures

Soap today was officially in
augurated as an important item

Heretofore used only for ablu-
tionary purposes in studio work,

 Mickey, the bundle of energy who has Detroit's ball fans almost pen nant minded, laid down this rule in training season: Anyone caught off base or caught 1oafing to base on a hit ball would be fined s10, with no permission to appeal.

 Then came a game at Cleveland. Mickey was at bat and slapped a a fast ball on a pretty line drive to right field. Cochrane went down to first slowly when
 Hey you!" A mighty roar went out from the dugout and when Mickey rejoined his teammates he was told they had voted to fine their boss exactly $10 for "loafing to first" And there was no chance for an appeal, they reminded him.

Elks' Star Holds Vets to Three Bingles- Hits

Claud Erskine held the American Legion to three hits and one score last night and sewed up the game himself in the first frame with a homer with two runners on bases. The Elks added two more in the third frame, both unearned, and won by score of to l.
 Ward McAlister hurled almost as fine a game for the Vets, allowing but four hits, but he was shaded by the Elks' star, who didn't allow more than one hit in any one in- ming. Erskine famed II batters and McAlister nine, and each pitch CT walked one man.
 How It Happened
 The Elks went out after the busi- ness in the first inning by scoring three runs before McAlister, could settle down Livingston walked and was forced at second. Mathison dropped MacSpadden's fly to left but recovered it in time to get it to second before Curly did. Garn's single advanced Mac to second, and both runners galloped home as Erskine, poked his second homer of the season out of the lot.
 In the second frame the Vets got around to third on an error by Garn and wild pitch, but Erskine struck out two to end the agony.
 Two in Third
 In the third, the Elks took ad- vantage of some poor baseball and scored pair of runs. After singling to left, Mac was forced at second on Garn's roller to short. Erskine made his second hit of the game, and both runners advanced notch on passed ball. Orme hit to Junge at third, who elected to try for Garn going home. Stollard apparently drought it was force play and made no attempt to tag Garn. In like manner, Jernberg batted one down to Mclaughlin be- tween second and first, who threw to the plate, but Erskine was safe as Stollard neglected to tag him.
