Tough Chore

Tough Chore
 Realistic laughter, though, is an actors toughest assignment. Di- rector Tay Garnett admits 1t, sym pathetically, while trying to coax Don Ameche and Tyrone Power through a 65-second laughing se- quence in Love Is News" "Try 1t yourself sometime" advises Gar nett, '.hee-hawing in front of a semicircle of silent people with froz- en pans."
 The two players try 1t again and again, but not heartily enough. And each time they feel a little sillier and a little less hilarious than be- fore. When I finally leave the set, the Messrs. Power and Ameche still are manfully trying to reach the proper pitch of merriment.
 Trick Play
 Like. a football coach, Director Frank Borzage is giving chalk talk to his crew and Charles Boyer before. filming a cafe scene for History Is Made at Night" It is to be 8 long, intricate shot, and Borzage has diagrammed on 8 blackboard the movements of play CTS, camera, and sound apparatus.
 He says: Here's the start, in the lobby, where we pick up Mir. Boyer getting out of his car and walking in. We pause as he says hello to the check girl and losses her his hat. We truck back in pace for MT. Boyer.
 We twist to the right and pause again as he walks over and shakes hands with one of the guests. Then we do half circle, like this, and pan around to follow him into the kitchen. It'll have to be timed per- fectly for the mike to get out of the way of the camera and still keep the sound okay. Is that clear?"' '''.'.'.''t fr
 It's clear. Rubber-shod men noiselessly whisk the heavy cam era truck and the sound cart in front of the advancing actor. It looks all right. but they shoot 1t three more times, just to be sure.
 After all, this is three-minute shot, and the average company is lucky if it completes three minutes of finished film in an entire day. '...r'',t
 Hand Car"
 There's more trucking" to be done in Carole Lonbard's new pie ture, Swing High, Swing Low" Miss Lombard and Charles Butter worth are in a room that looks out on a busy street in Panama City.
 Natiye-type extras pass and re- pass in the background, and a car of ancient vintage moves across the set. But the car isn't running 1n- deed, it probably hasn't even an engine, because that would be too noisy.
 Four husky grips" outside cam era range. haul 1t along the street by long, strong piece Of wire, which won't be visible. Height of Love
 Another thing that won't show is the box on which Francine Larri- more stands to kiss Edward Arnold. This is love scene for John Meade's Woman" and they're be- ing photographed in a closeup em- brace.
 The recently imported Broadway actress is only five feet tall, while Arnold is six feet. And so, to tm- prove their romantic stance, Miss Larrimore is elevated to 8 pedestal.
 Fans never seem to notice these discrepancies in height when the full figures of the players are not visible. The stature of players often is changed in this way, and in the case of tall actresses, they kick off their shoes.

Sure enough, there were four
big black speckS coming over the
mountains. The general feeling,
though, was that we were Specta-
tors of what might prove an in
tereSting show. We watched the
black earth spouting over in town
and columns of white flame going
up from the incendiaries. Every
body was out in the open with
cameras and field glasses when
they came back. High up with the
sun glistening on them, they were
beautiful sights, and when the
bombs caught the light falling
down they looked like big silver
raindrops. They were so high that
they had completely passed our
camp and we were all thinking
we were still spectators when sud-
denly, like peppers Sprinkled on q
plate, 80 to 40 incendiarieS landed
on top of us, all around us, and
we all stood petrified for a mo-
ment as geysers Of white hot
flame sprayed high into the air
on every side.
One hit not more than IL feet

gazing, half blinded into it when I
heard yells behind me and there
blazed the Red Cross tent right

Loeb stamp the burning canvas,

The Washington times., 1936-03-20

To my utter astonishment Asfau,
without turning a hair, declared
that he had intended his price Of
5000 to include the two tents.
The audacity of this lie so infuri-
ated me I told him I would rather
burn the tents and run the truck
over a cliff than let him get away
with such a bald trick. He Shrug-
ged his shoulders.
He knew we wanted to leave
Desye the next day, and that we
wanted to liquidate everything
there if possible. He knew there
were no other buyers for the truck
in DeSSye. He knew also that the
market in Adds was low, and Ia
fact I had been informed, accu-
rately as it turned out later, that
could not expect to get more
than 2,500 for the truck in Adds.
So he simply shrugged his shoul-
derS, and asked If We had any
mules to sell.
I told him we had, and ordered
our caravan to parade. Asfau
took one look and began to laugh.
Still laughing he walked around
each mule exclaiming they weren't
as good as a pack of mountain
donkeys. All his servants fell in
with the propaganda and pointed
out defects in each animal.
Gave Pills as Bonus
This went on all afternoon. It
was dark when I finally made up
a bargain package of the truck,
the two tents and nine mules, and
let him have them all for $500.
He finally consented, but only on
condition we let him have a little
bonus of some kind, not money,
but a present. So got out of
the medicine kit a hot water bot
tie, box of quinine pills, a dozen
tablets of vermifuge, called KoSSo,
which all Ethiopians take to get
rid Of the worms they eat with
their raw meat, and a bundle of
bandages. He accepted without
thanks, then bought the medicine
kit for 14O Thalers. I was de-
lighted to get rid of it, because
with 80 British Red Cross trucks
and the American Hospital in Des-
Sye there was more medicine there
than in all the rest of Ethiopia.
Gasoline being as good as gold
and just as Salable he paid full
cost price for our remaining six
cases.
On the whole, though felt
cheated, upon reflection I was
very well satisfied with the bar
gain -, who had paid $500
Thalers for his truck held out
for 4,500, failed to get it in Des-
sye, took the truck back to Adds,
and was forced to sell it for $500.
We came out best on the sale
Of firearms. I sold the Colt $50
automatic which had cost about
$25 for over $50, and the Smith
& WeSson .38 revolver, which cost
about $50 for over $40; the 20
automatic rifle for its cost price
less the cartridges used, and the
Mauser to my boy, Gamatchou,
for its cost without cartridges. The
shotgun we used on the trip I
had borrowed from AngelopouloS,
our resident correspondent.
There were not many rifle car
tridgeS left to sell because on the
day of the bombing Of DeSSye our
boys grabbed our rifles and all the
ammunition they could find and
ran out and potted at the Italian
airplanes. That was a wild day.

goes. hope its form may please.
Photographer Vargas left all the
bookkeeping to me and I would
rather go through ten bombings Of
DeSSye than tackle a job like this
one again. I could not complete it
until I had met Vargas again, and
after meeting him and agreeing
upon a score of debatable points,
and after giving him his expense
account, the task Of getting the
division of purchases, sales, and
losses down on paper was one to
make Price WaterhouSe quail.
After four days Of frantic labor I
finally gave up the idea that I
could find 81, 900 of my own money
which had drawn in Ethiopia and
concluded I'd rather lose the
money than keep the expense &C

vantage than a good many others
and that was largely due to the
fact that you gave me my recall
just a moment ahead Of several
others who, uncertain about leav-
ing, became our customers. On the
whole we realized over so per cent
Of the cost of our stuff, and for
the truck we got two-thirds Of it's
price.
The truck sale was a spectacu-
lar demonstration of Ethiopian
character. AS soon as we notified
the government we were leaving,
the press chief, little Alto Lorenzo,
said they would be interested in
buying. But I could get better
price for our food from the remain
ing correspondents, and from the
various Red Cross doctors and
European officers, so I immedi-
ately hel:. a sale. You can see
from the enclosed lists how various
were the articles disposed Of and
to what various customers.
Canny EthiOpians
Then along came Lidj Asfau,
the master of the Imperial house
hold, a little crafty man whose au-
thority made all our boys cringe.
In dealing with him I realize best,
though not for the first time, how
truly crafty the Amharas are. But
it made me wonder why they have
surrendered all the trade in the
country to SyrianS, Ar1nenians
and Greeks. Because when an
Amhara really wants to bargain
he can make our cannieSt traders
weep and go bankrupt.
ASfau asked me what I wanted
for the truck. told him we had
just paid 4,5O0 thalers for it and
It was better than brand new be-
cause the TOO kilometers we had
run it were just enough to break
it in. Which was true. At first
we had trouble with the new mo-
tor, but now it was running like a
watch. So I said we would take
$500 thalers.
ASfau looked over the truck,
shifted. said it looked wornout, ex-
amined carefully a hole in the
back where Gamatchou, my head
boy. had accidentally discharged
a shotgun, said this was a grave
defect. shifted some more, and Of

said nothing. We sat at a table
for about half an hour without
saying anything. Finally I told
him $500 was my last price, but
that I would throw in two tents.
