Professor Eddy of the State
~" Completing Lake
Surveys.
STUDIES TWO YEARS
Bodies of Water Listed for
Type and Adaptability
for Fish.

Professor Samuel Eddy of the Uni
Versity Of Minnesota is completing a
survey started two years ago in which
all the 10000 or more lakes of the state
have been tested as to the species Of
fish to which they are adaptable.
The professor, who spent virtually all
Of last summer testing specimens and
making soundings in northern Mime
sofa, is nearing the end of a compre-
hensive study Of the states 10000 lakes
on which he has been engaged for sew
eral years.
And on the basis of information he
has compiled already, he can tell con-
servationiStS what kind of fish to put
in this and that lake and see them
cannot be propagated successfully in
certain bodies of water.
From his studies, as shown in a re-
port on his northern Minnesota work,
he knows, for instance, that there are
three principal reasons why certain
lakes which would appear to offer good
fishing are found to contain little life.
AAAGg GS4C IAN Va e2lCAAdGC Spawning
beds, lack Of proper bottom conditions
and winter killing of the fish due to
lack Of sufficient amount of oxygen
to maintain life.
Throughout much of the summer
Professor Eddy directed the work of
CCC boys and representatives of the q.
S. Forest Service and the state con-
Servation commission, and end of the
summer saw completion of a study of
lakes in the Superior forest area.
Confronted with deeper lakes, they
rugged up a clamshell dredge on a plat
form between two canoes and took
systematic samplings of the bottom,
lowering a container which opened a
few inches from the bottom, or scooped
up material from the floor. Another
crew made a minute study of inshore
waters, stalking of areas of one square
meter and dredging each thoroughly

the screen is argument material. The
public, for whose entertainment it was
made, will be the final arbiter of this
pictures financial fate.
There is no question as to its ar
tistic merit, in those fields in which
Max Reinhardt is absolute. Some
seven years ago Max Reinhardt sat at
La Quinta. in the desert. and told
me what he would do If the moguis
of Hollywood would entrust a picture
to his making.
He was at La Quinta-instead Of
United Artists studio-because of d
difficulty he had had with Joseph
Schenck. "Talkies" had arrived in
Hollywood and Max Reinhardt was
here to make picture on contract
that had been signed when the cinema
was still strictly pantomimic.
Makes Prophecy.
The genius of Salzburg and the
president of u. A. couldn't get to-
gether. But Reinhardt said to me
then:
If I ever made a picture, I shall
do the thing for which the camera
was made. shall go beyond reality
shall penetrate the realms of fantasy
and rip the wells which shroud the
world beyond. I will take the audience
up to the starS-out to the uttermost
realms of imagining-I shall blend the
real and the unreal; for this the
camera was made"
And when I saw "A Midsummer
Nights Dream" I realized how fully
Max Reinhardt had lived up to this
prophecy. Here is magic world, gone
mad beneath the moon. Here is land
of elves and gobli1Is-of fairy hordes
dancing madly up highways of mist
that wreath the pines. Here is
camera magic as you've never seen it
before. Here is rhythm and compost
ton whose divine beauty has never
been equaled in gelatin before. And
here is a musical score by Korngold,
a modern, who has woven the Men
delssohn music into a superb back
ground for such imaginings.
Cast Is Practical.
This venture into the fourth dimen-
sion has been achieved perfectly by
Reinhardt and his co-director, the
capable Wilhelm Dieterle, one of his
former students. So far have been
speaking only of camera, of treatment,
of rhythm and fantasy.
When it came to choosing a cast for
A Midsummer Nights Dream" Rein
hardt did not have absolute power.
The producer who was furnishing
some million and a half dollars to
make this spectacle naturally hai
some ideas on the subject. So into
the Shakespeakean cast have been
introduced some cinema names -
names that have tremendous follow
ings.
If these motion picture actors seem
incapable of giving the lines the full
ness Of beauty and meaning which
the performers who have had Shake
spearean training bring to them. it is
we'll to remember this: Those cinema
actors have large fan followings. and
their enthusiasts will come to see
Shakespeare in order to see them,
when nothing else in the world would
bring them into the theater. Once
there, it would take singularly un-
feeling clod to remain insensate to
the beauty Of eye and ear which
awaits him.
Victor Jory, the Oberon Of the cast,
Is outstanding. He has had Shake
