Movies Handle
Sun to Suit
Themselves

Everywhere else In the world
Old Sol is treated with awe and
respect, but when he comes to
Hollywood he is showed and
pushed all around the place and
made to work overtime.
Movie makers have long since
decided that the sun should shine
not only in direct rays, but be in
duced to shine around corners,
into shadowed receSses, across
cloud-covered spaces, into hooks
and crannieS. It is all accom-
pliShed by the comparatively sim
pie process Of using retlectors.
One Of the large sets used re-
Gently for scenes in Columbia'S
Adventure in Manhattan repre-
sented q New York street scene,
uptown. Impressive hrownstone
homes and mansions lined the
busy thoroughfare and pedestrians
hurried by, with automohnes,
trucks and taxicabS whlzzing oy IN
the background.
Late Afternoon SUN
So much filming was required
that it was past smld-atternoon
before some of the closeup shots
were reached showing Jean Ar.
thur, Joel McCrea and Reginald
owen emerging from one OF the
homes.
Reflectors. dozens of them,
were brought into use and before
long the street was well lighted
even though the sun had al
ready started to sink down be-
hind the fringe Of Hollywood
foothills.
The grip" men on the set are
the experts at manipulating the
reflectors to send the sunbeams
scurrying wherever the director
and cameraman see mt.
Push the sun over there to
that stairway" isn't an uncom-
mon command on movie set.
Or LET me have a little more
sunlight over here!" The
grips move a few fiat boards.
squint to see their targets and
presto-Old Sol goes almost any
place.
On Outdoor Sets Only
Reflectors are used only on
outdoor scenes, They are about
three feet square and . half inch
thick. The fiat surfaces are
covered with aluminium foil and
the reverse sides have q golden
foil covering.
This type is used for close
lighting on people. Jean Arthur
may be wearing . stylish cha
peau with low, cloSe-fitting brim.
but even at that her face is
given the proper lighting when
one Of the workers slantS and
twists and turns one OF the re-
Electors.
Different type lighting results
from the gold and silver surfaces.
The silver sheets give off . more
sharp, brilliant light, while the
dull gold reflectors push Old Sol
around in soft, gentle fashion.
For lighting buildings or indi-
viduals at great distances from the
cameras and reflectorS, highly
polished reflectors Of sheet tin
are used.
Too Strong for Eyes
These are much too strong for
ones eyes and care is taken to
see that no one gets in the direct
lighting from the tin-type re-
Electors.
On the Adventure in Manhat-
tan" set in queStio--, the latter
type reflectorS were used for dis
tance lighting to reflect sunlight
on background buildings and
pedestrians on the sidewalks.
Caution was exercise to see that
these man-directed SunrayS didn't
shine on the glass windows or on
the automobile windShieldS. Had
that happened there would have
been ''kickback-" into the camera
lens that would have ruined the
take" and resulted in added work

Local Public School Offers
Instrumental Music Course
Reorganization of Orchestra
Made Possible Through
Rental Plan

One hundred boys and girls on
musical instruments by the middle
OF November, Is the ambitious
goal aimed at by the Sank Centre
pubic school orchestra. This is an
intensive campaign to reorgafize
and to make permanent the instru-
mental music program in our
school.
1T is not impossible to achieve
this end" said Supervisor e. J.
Kitzberger, who is in charge of in
struction. In the past when par
ents had to assume the heavy bur-
den OF outright purchase of expen-
sive instruments, there have been
as many as fifty students on in
struments. Now that the school is
planning a rental program on mod
erately priced instruments, goal
OF 100 young musicians is not Wis
ionary."
Under this plan Of reorganiza-
ton arrangements are being made
to establish rental system for in
struments. Two Representatives Of
reliable concern are in the city
this week negotiating with Supt
w. A. Kohl and Mr.. Kitzberger on
this rental plan, which viii make
1t possible for practically every boy
and girl in school, who are inter-
ested, to take part in orchestral
work and training. =
A scientific rhythm and pitch
test has been given to students to
determine which are best adapted
to musical training, which result in
a more careful selection of ? boys
and girls, and to a certain. extent
eliminate the danger Of failure. ).
Mr.. Kitzberger states that this is
the logical school year for children
to begin on musical instruments.
The new group will be started Inn
mediately. Every child joining dur
ing the first month win have an
opportunity of winning a regular
chair in the new orchestra.
As there are but twenty music
ians available in the school this
fall, and as only few Of these
have had enough experience for a
good orchestra, 1t has become nec-
essary to start an entirely new Or
ganization, which is now open to
all students interested. ~
A letter has been sent to the
parents of students explaining the
offer of instruction in instrumental
music this year for students above
the third grade. The instruction is
free but parents must obtain suit
able instruments.
Realizing that instruments suit
able for school use are rather ex-
pensive, the local school has adopt
ed the plan whereby a student may
rent an instrument for a period
long enough to determine ability
and ambition. These instruments
are brand new, of standard make,
and made especially for school use.
There is no restriction, however,
as to the make or source of an in
strument, although Mr.. Kitzberger
suggests that parents contemplate
ing the purchase of rebuilt instru-
ments have them carefully checked
by a competent musician.
Using this plan other schools of
similar size have enrolled from IS
to 100 new members in instrument
al instruction and have formed sue
cessful orchestras. Messrs. James
Lyon and r. A. Marlowe, represen-
tatives of a reliable music concern,
are assisting Mr.. Kitzberger with
this work.

Warns Public of Delin-
quent Tax Deadline
Increase in Tax Collections Re-
ported by Minnesota Taxpayers
Association

October 81 will be the final da,
on which the last half of property
taxes can be paid without penalty
After that date penalty Of eight
per cent is added to the unpaid
portion of all taxes. First half
taxes could be paid up to June !
without penalty, after which date
a three per cent penalty was added
with an additional one per cent for
every month thereafter If the tax
was not paid, according to a state
ment issued by the Minnesota Tax
payers Association.
After November 1, the eight per
cent penalty will be added to all
unpaid property taxes until January
1, when the taxes will be declared
delinquent and additional penal
ties will be added.
Considerable improvement in tax
collections is looked for by the time
the November cutoff. First half
year delinquencies have shown a
decline.
Early reports indicate that the
delinquency has been reduced from
the peak Of year ago. Payment
of tax delinquencies rose from ST.
903, 900 in 1884, to 1868, 900 in 1885.
Officials in many counties regard
the new state law permitting pay
ment of taxes in instruments over
a period Of years as a factor In
this increase. Delinquent tax
payers who have not done so, can
still take advantage Of the ten-year
payment plan, and escape old PEN
alties.
The total tax delinquency in
Minnesota in recent check-up was
set at $92, 287, 900.
