Many strange beliefs are associ- nted with determining whether the baby will bo Q boy or a girl. one holds that the girls heart beats
 more rapidly than 140 times Q min- ,eIte. and that the boys heartbeat IS sBlower.
 It N true that large babies usu-. ally have slower rates than small sones, and boys generally are slightly slarNcr than girls; but there is not annouRh difference to make 1t pos .@ibie to determine which will be ahoys and which will be girls. The ,ssJroportion of births of boys to girls runs about 106 to 100. E Another superstition has 1t that Tine sex of the baby depends on .whsther 1t comes from the glands hpn the right side of the mother, or From those on her left side. This shlso has been shown to be without aI,asis.
 {. eorns persons think that the sex .bR the baby can be indicated by ykhs ahapO of the mother. There ,sIs no basis for this belief.
 Nor as there any basis for the Idea that the baby will be born with a loop of the cord around its neck k the mother frequently raises her arms above her head. Babies often are born with on or more loops of cord around the neck, but there is no comman explanation for this phenomenon. ~ Very rarley, indeed, does the oc- ..eurrence of loop of the cord around the neck produce any trou- ssbIe.

Anne Shirley
Studying

Scoring the interim of summer
vacation, Anne Shirley, 18-year-old
screen star, has begun work on
her projected college course under
the supervision of two tutors. She
will major in French and music.
There can be no vacation

if my eyes last through the pic
ture."
A hot argument is in progress
when I visit the wives Never
Know" set at Paramount. Adolphe
Menjou and Director Elliott Nu-
gent can't agree on how to pro-
nounce the word vegetable"
MenjOu wants to accent the
first syllable and run the rest
together.
Nugent wants to hear each
syllable pronounced clearly.
The scene is one between
Adolphe, who plays cynical
novelist, and Mary Bolaud, who
is Charles Ruggles' wife. Men.
jou is in full dress and wears
a monocle for the second time in
his career. His brows don't jut
enough to hold it securely, so he
has resorted to coating the rim
Of the glass with toupee wax.
"If it holds some of these
actors hair on, it ought to hold
this mOnOcle in my eye," he
says.
Menjou, an old-timer, is very
meticulous about lighting on the
set. Before the take begins, he
calls to the cameraman:
care all my spots working?
Is everything on me that
should be?"
Preparations have taken a long
time, but are justified.
Aoolphe and Miss Boland speak
four pages of dialogue, about 500
feet of film. before he blows a
line.
But it isn't the word "vegeta-
BILE" that stops him. He takes
that in stride midway through
the scene. In prOnOuncing it, he
accents the first syllable and
runs the rest together.
Some of the miShaps on sets are
comical. 1 am watching Director
Mitchell Lessen film a scene this

Ray Milland is supposed to jerk

Extras must always report

No exceptiOnS!"
Such is the sign decorating
each sound stage in Hollywood.
It is the edict of the studios,
and the official rule of Central
Casting. They'll wear rubber
heels, or they won't work.
The ruling follows difficulties,
ever since the inception of talk
ing pictures, with footsteps, shut
fling noises in dance scenes,
tapping of heels on pavements.
Extras were allowed to wear any
sort of shoes they liked. Shoes
were padded with felt. Sound
prooting was even placed under
floors.
But nov the rubber heel edict
is expected to remove most of the
trouble.

SOUND MOVIE STUDIOS PAY FOR SILENCE

next day, the shoes were all
equipped with them.
The reason so much care is
taken is explained by Douglas
SheaNer, recording director at the
Metro oldwyn-Mayer studios:
"The human ear hears ex-
traneOuS sounds, but the brain
centers it on conversation or
whatever is most important to
hear" he says. For instance.
tive people talking in an office
won't notice the typewriters
clicking. But the micrOphOne
can't select sound that way,
and everything is recorded. So
we have to subdue extraneOus
noises to a point where they
correspond to what one hears
without paying attention to in
actual life"
ShOd In Rubber
Horses running in sand, as in
Under Two Flags" can wear
iron shoes. Water buffalo IN
1.-THE Good Earth" walking on
hard ground, were iron shod.
Cavalry horses in charge of
the Light Brigade" however, were
partly shod with rubber.
The use Of rubber, to silence
disturbing sounds, finally led to
the flat rubber heel edict for all
extras.
From now on only tap dancers
may wear hard heels.
Except, Of course, Wallace
Berry in "Old Hutch" He was
equipped with a special pair of
very noisy and Squeaky shoes for
comedy effect.

Such is the collection Of cos

the pungent smell of camphor.
It's heavy door is like the gate

tunes, gowns, uniforms, hang on
racks or are packed in cedar

The collection is that of the prin-

great screen hits made at the
studios. They are kept for pos.
sible future use. Sometimes one
is drawn forth, refitted, perhaps
Eremodeled, and used.
