HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 17.-Tired
Of reading every Tom, Dick and
Harry's selection of the "Ten
Best" this or that, Harpo Marx
today entered the field with a
list of his own.
"The ten most chaseable women
in Hollywood"
In the Marx brothers comedies,
explained Harpo, he is always
shown pursuing some cutie across
the screen, so he feels he is well
qualified to pass upon the chase
ability Of filmdon's lovely ones.
"And BESIDES" he added. there
is the hope that my selection will
end these sort of lists forever"
Harpo's choices and his reasons
are as follows:
MARLENE DIETRICH "Be.
cause, with those legs, she ought
to be fast as well as ornamental"

1t is the voice Of James Manatt,
still photographer on the produc-
ton, who has worked on Marion
Davies Cosmopolitan picture for
several years. Carrying his camera,
described as an "S by 10" because
the dimensions Of the pictures he
takes are 8 by 10 inches, slung
over his shoulder on a tripod, and
his canvas plate case over the
other arm, he steps into the place
being vacated by the motion-pic-
ture camera.
In a few seconds he has his
camera adjusted. He slips plate
into the apparatus.

The players assume a pose as If
they were repeating the scene.
Manatt presses the rubber bulb he
holds and the camera shutter
clicks.
OK" he says. "Now, I'd like
to have one more. Mr.. Gable will
you put your hands on Miss
Davies shoulder as you did in the
scene, please?"
Gable suits his actions to the
photographers words and Manatt
takes another picture. That done,
he has what he describes as a
"set-up" at the other end of the
sound stage. There his own lights
have been adjusted upon a white
backing. Lovely shadows and high
lights form delicate pattern upon
the white canvas wall. He sets his
camera up and "borroWs" Miss
Davies and Gable for a few min
utes for some poster art. There.

exterior shots a still photographer
accompanies a location crew to
prospective sites and takes pic

able angle. These are submitted 20
studio executives and the final Sc

the photographs.
ACTION IS BARRED
Still men also frequently visit
the home Of stars to make what
magazine and newspaper pictures
of the stars at leisure and at play.
Occasionally one will be assigned
to photograph a new set OF
"backings," those immense painted
canvas pictures placed outside the
windows of sets as backgrounds.
These small photographs are filed
away in cabinets so that studio
art directors may have a ready
visual index Of the vast store OF
backings piled in a great ware

Some studios also maintain row

regular newspaper cameramen

A Chinese Tale
I can't remember all the de-
tails Of makeup, Of hair-dreSs-
ing, Of costume fittings, and
more tests. I didn't really get
my feet on the ground until our
director, Sidney Franklin, told
me to rehearse a Chinese dance,
for the tea house scene, where
Lotus first vamps Paul NUM- in
the story.
I studied some of the books I
had gathered while I was in the
Vienna opera. With a pianist
and some Chinese music, we
worked out a traditional dance.
The Chinese costume I wear is
q difficult one to dance in, with
a great pearl headpiece that
comes over the eyes, long silk
sleeves that are thrown around
like banners, but it's really a lot
of fun.
The picture is all Chinese. I
met number of the players;
they were charming. OF course,
I felt at home with Paul Muni
and Luise Rainer, both from
Vienna like myself. Miss Rainer
was with Max Reinhardt, as I
was, but a little later. We
found that we had many mutual
friends in the Reinhardt The.
ater. Luise is a most charming
girl. To know her is to under
stand why she has made her
self so popular with American
audiences in such a short time.
OF course, she is a very great
artist, but aside from that she
has the gift of making people
inStinctively love her.
Praise for NUM-
NUM- I can best describe as
compelling. There is q certain
forcefulneSS to the man, even
in the most ordinary converse
ton, that grips the listener. He
Is one of those few people who,
when they enter room and
even remark that it's a fine day,
have the immediate attention of
everyone. That's why he is so
compelling in his roles.
We had a scene where he
catches me with the younger
son, played by a young man
named Roland Got, flies into a
terrible rage, and orders us from
his house. Would you believe it,
though we knew it was only act
ing, both Got and I were trem-
bling when the scene was fin
ished? That's what I mean by
the compelling quality in the
man.
I had read Pearl Bucks book
Of China before I came to
America, so knew the story.
It is amazing how closely the
picture follows it. And some
Of the Chinese players, after do
ing scenes with all the skill Of
veterans, told me they'd never
been before a camera until cast
for "The Good Earth" One Of
them was PhillSon On, a young
college student at the Univer.
sity Of California, at Berkeley.

day.
Visitors to studio sound stages
invariably are surprised at the
presence of a still cameraman on
motion picture set.
why" they ask, "with the
motion picture camera recording
every action Of the players must
a still photographer pose them at
the end of each scene and take a
separate picture? Can't the de-
velopers simply choose one frame
from each scene of motion picture
film and enlarge it to the desired
size? It seems to use that would
be much simpler and less expen-
Sive."
1t would be, but, unfortunately,
it won't work.
DIRECTOR HELPS
Motion picture film can be pro-
jected to almost any size desired,
but the moment the projection is
stopped by a piece of senSitized
paper instead of a screen, as would
be the case in enlarging frame for
lobby displays. the picture becomes
"grainy" or "bumpy." The players
become almost unrecognizable.
Then too, and this fact is not
generally known, in motion pic
ture film of action-an arm NOV
ing, a player walking, running,
sitting down or engaging in any
type of motion-there is def
mite blurr. This, when the picture
is projected against a screen, is
not noticeable, the eye failing to
perceive it because of the action.

some amusing mistakes. but,
once they are explained, her
laughter is as hearty as the
rest.
We watch the diva do
some comedy scenes this
week at R-K-O.
Her new picture still
hasn't a title, but we find
out it is the story of a
French singer who slows
away on a ship and becomes
the mascot of four Amer
lean musicians, played by
Gene Raymond, Jack Oakie,
Mischa Auer and Frank
Janks. Lucille Ball is the
singer with the band and
Raymond's girl-friend until
Lily comes along.
In the first scene we
watch, Lily has to plant an
impulsive kiss upon Genes
cheek.
Now, kissing on the
screen may look as easy as
in real life, but there are
lots of tricks to it.
The first time, Lily leaves
lipstick on Genes cheek. The
next time she covers up
part of his face with her
hand. On the third attempt,
however, she remembers
everything. Her fingers
touch only Genes chin and
her lips brush his cheek
lightly, but with such an
appearance of ardor that
Jack Oakie yells:
''Hey, Lily, you are going
pretty strong there, gall"
All the actors laugh. The
diva asks quickly in French:
What did he say7" When
someone tells her, she laughs,
too.

MRS. L. f. SCHMIDT NARROWLY
ESCAPES DEATH

Mrs. Lawrence E. Schmidt of
Loudonville, O., very narrowly es-
capped death last Thursday in the
garage at her home, when overcome
by carbon monoXide fumes from the
exhaust of her car Mrs. Schmidt
had entered the built-in garage and
had started the car preparatory to
driving up town, when she remem-
bered a pet dog owned by the fam
lily had been left shut in the house.
She returned for the dog, leaving
the motor running, and upon again
entering the car was overcome bv
monoXide. Apparently Mrs. Schmidt
had retained consciousness long
enough to open the car door and to
try to reach the open air, and then
had fallen unconscious to the ce-
ment floor of the garage where she
was discovered by neighbors who
were passing the house. When
found she was barely alive, but ply
slcians were speedily summoned and
breathing was restored by a pull
motor and by artificial respiration.
Besides suffering from the effects of
the monoxide, Mrs. Schmidt was Sc
verely bruised upon the face and
neck. She remained in q critical
condition for several days, but is
at present somewhat improved.
Mr.. Schmidt, her husband, is
principal of the high school at
Loudonville. He is a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin Schmidt, recently of
Beckett, who left after their public
sale, to make their home near SEN

MRS. FRANCES JANE WADE
DIES AT HOME in MALTA

Mrs. Frances Jane Wade, aged 80
years, one of Malta's most highly
regarded residents, passed away
Saturday, April 18, of general in
firmities. She had been i'll for four
years, and failing much more rapid
ly Of late. She was the widow of
e. G. d. Wade, who died about eight
years ago, and who was a well
known tailor.
Mrs. Wade was a daughter Of the
late William and Elizabeth Hazard
Sillery, and was born in Malta, in
the same house where her death oc-
Cured, and with the exception of a
few years in GAINESVILLE and Mans
field her entire life was lived in the
same house, and other than about
three years, when the residence was
owned by the late James w Manly,
the property was in her family. A
son born to Mr.. and Mrs. Wade in
1887, died in infancy. Mrs. Wade
was the last of the immediate fam
lily of seven brothers and sisters,
the others being George w. Sillery,
Mrs. Charlotte Ann Martin, Charles
William Sillery, James Henry Sill
lery, and Mary Elizabeth and Ada
Adelia Sillery. She was a tailor by
trade, having been engaged in
that work several years before the
time of her marriage. She had been
a member of the Malta Methodist
Episcopal church since an early age,
and was held in high regard by
many friends.
Funeral services were held Mon
day afternoon at 2 O'Clock at her
late home, with her pastor, Rev.
Paul L. Wachs, officiating. Inter
ment was made in Malta cemetery.
A matter Of particular interest in
connection with this death is the
fact that Mrs. Wade's oldest brother,
George Washington Sillery, was the
first person buried in Malta ceme-
terry, which was in June of 1843,
and there is a lapse of 93 years be-
tween the time of the burial of Mr..
Sillery and Mrs. Wade.
At the funeral of Mrs. Wade the
pastor read the hymn Lead Kindly
Light" The pail bearers were Rus
sell and Carl Sears, S. B. Sheridan,
Stanley Curry and Ralph and Jack
Sears. Persons from distance at
tending the services were Mr.. and
Mrs. Ralph Sears and Jack Sears of
Canal Winchester, and Mr.. and Mrs.

The earthly life Of one of Morgan
