Claire Learns
To Dance

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 29.-"Song
and Dance Man." the George M.
Cohan play adapted to films by
Twentieth Century-Fox. presented
imposing problems for Claire IRE
vor and Paul Kelly, cast IN the
leading roles. Miss Trevor had
to learn to dance, and Kelly to
sing.
Aside from ballroom dancing,
Miss Trevor had never before at
tempted to espouse the terpsi-
chorean art. But the screen play
Of "Song and Dance Man" re-
quired that she do Q solo dance
routine as well as Q dance act
with Kelly. In addition, the
problem was made more difficult
when . special dance. the Tar
umbs. was designed by Klayton
Kirby for the picture.
Under Kirby'S instruction, Miss
Trevor set about to become a
stage dancer. For nearly two
months, between shooting Of
scenes for the pictures in which
she was currently engaged, the
actress took lessons under the
tutelage Of the man who had
created the routines for Dolores
del Rio in I'm Caliente," and
for Ruby Keeler, in "Go Into
Your Dance"
Despite the adverse conditions
under which she undertook the
difficult task, Miss Trevor demon
Strated such adaptability that she
elected unstinted praise from her
instructor.
Although pronounced perfect in
her routine, however, she ap-
preached the scene involving her
solo number in the center OF
the stage with q certain amount
of miSgiving which bordered on
terror as the actual shooting
neared.
Realizing the situation, Di.
rector Allan Dwan told her:
"WeU run through the en-
tire scene just as though we
were shooting. Then you'll be
all right, and we'u do 1t for
the cameras"
Seemingly to heighten the SINH
larity to actual production condi.
tions, Dawn ordered the rest Of the
cast to 60 through the scene, had

Green Grass Grows All Round
On Marion Davies Sets

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 29.-TheSe'
are busy days for the Warner
studio green gang"
On one production alone the
green gang" has three sets
each covering one complete sound
stage-with total area Of 10000
square feet to keep in condition.
This production, Marion Davies
Hearts Divided" has three so
called exterior" sets built within
sound stages. They are the Pat
terSon mansion set, an apple or
chard and q forest setting.
The Patterson mansion setting
spreads across Stage 7. It in
cludes a formal garden, velvety
lawns and many trees, all Of
which were tranSplanted on the
sound stage by the green gang.
The difficulty Of keeping such a
setting in condition lies in the
fact that the hot arc and mcan-
descent lights burn up the grass
and shrubbery and it must be re
placed st least twice each week.
To date, with the production in
its fifth week, the green gang
has completely reconstructed its
part of the setting five times. The
setting was not in use during one
period Of two weeks.
The orchard set provides an
even more difficult problem,
though the action taking place in
it is briefer, hence the attention
given it has not required so much
time. After each full day Of shoot
ing in the orchard many Of the
leaves and almost all the apples
on the trees must be replaced, the
burning lights having withered
them.
The orchard setting was pains
takingly grown" on stage II by

ton Of Gene WoodhouSe. The

The Colder The Air
The Thinner The Ice

A paradox noted by Great Lakes
fishermen, that ice sometimes grows
faster and thicker in zero than in
subzero weather, is really orthodox
according to DR.. w. J. Humphreys
of the Weather Bureau.
Ice, he explains, grows fastest
when its upper surface is coolest
The temperature of this surface de-
pends on whether il is clean or COW
cred with snow, and whether the air
over it is clear or foggy A layer Of
snow on the ice or a blanket of fog
acts as an insulator, retaTding the
escape of heat from the under, or
growing, surface.
In zero weather, not much fog is
likely to drift in from open water
farther out in the lake Often there
is enough wind to keepthe ice swept
clean of snow. In subzero weather,
on the other hand, frost smoke"
from the steaming Of deep water re-
mains incorporated and may spread
over the ice, II also may deposit a
sheet OF finely powdered snow.
When the air is clear and the sur
face Of the ice clean. ice at 0 de-
grees Fahrenheit is bound to thick
en- faster-and often become thicker
than when the air IS foggy and
the surface snowy, even IL the tenn
perature is 20' to s0o below zero.
