 Individuals in the flicker business seem to be in almost unanimous agreement that trailers are bac advertising because they take up toe much of the customers time, offend them with eXtravagant claims which can be justified, and tip off the best parts of the pictures to come. Yet trailers-those blinding blurbs which incongruously enough, precede and do not trail a picture - continue to be made.
 A super-epic, colossal trailer with bit of different twist is being made for Anthony Adverse. Il will have it's own script and cast and director, and some of the scenes will be specially shot on lo- cation. And independent producer could make a whole "quickie" fea- ture for what that will cost. |

BY PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Staff Correspondent

HollyWood.-Movie makers don't send out camera expeditions when they need action shots of angry apes in Africa, or seals frolicking on Alaskan rocks, or South Sea Islanders trading for calico.
 Neither do they dispatch sound trucks to record cathedral chimes, or waves pounding coral reef, or the chatter of wooden shoes in a Holland marketplace. They just send a messenger to HollyWood's General Film Library, where there's an almost priceless collection of 20,- 100000 feet of film, silent and noisy.
 The library has just about every thing, all for rent at the tidy figure of $250 foot. Send us hundred feet of wind in schooner's rig ging," orders a studio. Or, Please rush one dynamite blast, 50 feet of dog flight, and 200 feet of cavalry crossing wooden bridge"
 There are scenes from all over the world-Eskimos spearing fish, mountain climbers skipping from Alp to Alp, miners grubbing in tunnels, Orientals at prayer, dia- mond cutters at their wheels.
 One of the six big film vaults contains only historical shots sal- vaged from ancient news reels. There are scenes of New York's 1900 Easter parade of President McKinley's funeral, of the Wright brothers learning to fly.
 Earthquake Trapped
 Sounds, recorded on film tracks and stored in cans, range from an earthquakes roar of devasta- ton (recorded at Long Beach, Cal, in 1933) to cricket's chirp. In between are horse laughs, run ming feet, children yelling, monkeys chattering, water splashes, and owl hoots.
 There are sounds of pandemo- nium from chicken GOODS, dog barks Gall breeds), baby cries Gall ages), mob thunder, cheers, ap- rlause. Sheep bleat, clocks tick, fires crackle, trains roar, and even the breathing of tiger is recorded for use in feature films.
 
 15-Years' Job
 The sights and sounds have been gathered and indeXed over period of Is years by Mir. Morris M. Landres, short, bespectacled, and buShy-haired former civil en- gineer.
 He has his own staff of camera men who travel about collecting modern scenes. Most of the sounds have been recorded by his own technicians.
 It's serious business with Landres, who doesn't crack a smile even while explaining the varieties of door slamming. He has violent slams and medium slams, front and back door slams, slamming of heavy doors and slamming of screen doors. To the practiced ear, he says, they're all quite different.
 When the rental business is dull, Landres patches together short films of his own, such as Wild Women of Borneo." He pasted
