Next Logical
Screen Step
Is Color Use
Trail of Lonesome Pine,
Coming to Indiana,
Is the First.
BY JOHN w. THOMPSON

With the correlation Of sound and
motion in pictures practically per-
fected, the next logical step in screen
entertainment is the use of color.
But so far producers have handled
color as If 1t were hot lead
The most complete use Of the
color to date is TO be seen in THE
Trail OF the Lonesome Pine" star
ring Fred MacMurray, Sylvia Sid
ney and Henry Fonda, opening at
the Indiana, March 20.
Henry Hathaway, director, has
used the three primary colors, red,
yellow and blue, but avoided start
ling or bright combinations because
they tend to draw ones attention
away from the story.
He chose John Fox Jr.'s story be-
Cause the sombre hues of the Vir-
GINA hillsi lend themselves to such
an experiment. He sought to get
natural color by getting it in ma
tural setting. Becky Sharp" the
first real attempt TO use color in
feature pictures, was criticised be-
cause the tones we're too severe.
Much of this was because it was pro-
duced indoors, on regular sets.
Not one scene of THE Trail of
the Lonesome Pine" was photo
graphed on a regulation set. No
models were built, and it simply was
a case Of turning a cameraman loose
in colorful settings.
Movies began SO years ago, when
the first attempt was made to make
photographs move. In 1878 the
peep" system was invented. The
first projection machine, through
which was run strip of film show
ing action, was invented in 1894.
Then came The Great Train Rob-
berry" the first film to have a def
mite plot.
About 1912 experiments in color
and sound were started. The first
tries at color on film were made via
hand tinting. Technicolor was tried
for the first time in 1921 in a full
length picture. Sound soon was per-
fected and color moved into the
background.
When in 1923, receipts began to
slip, another attempt was made to
stimulate interest in color pictures,
but the tWo-color system then en-
ployed didn't click with fans and
the color boom died out completely.
Previous to 1885 no features had
been photographed in colors for five
years. With the current trend to-
ward the production of such films,
many problems face directors and
producers. One of the most i'm
portant is that of makeup. AL
though color photos require less &C
tual makeup they require much
more artistic application because the
negatives pick out flaws which are
hidden in black and white.
There are new tricks to be learned.
Sunsets may be more effectively
filmed at $50 in the morning, and
Shooting" must be confined to
days that are almost alike in SUM-
shine brightness, atmospheric dens-
ity and other phases.
But, according to Mr.. Hathaway,
color is here to stay and Paramount
is ready to produce a series of such
pictures. Makes one wonder what
will be neXt-third dimension or tel
eviSion?

Gen. johnson Says

NEW YORK, Jan. Sit is no disparagement of
fortunate thing that happened to the Demo-
cratic Party.
In 1924 the party had real chance to win until
it split from to crotch by the bitter battle
between Al and McAdoo.
In 1928 it centered on Al, who frankly repudiated
its prohibition plank and split away the South and
the bgoted ant-Cathoc areas.
In 1882 he kept the party tenterhooks until
the eleventh hour, and then made one speech that
hurt and another that helped
Now 1886 begins with the open threat of an out
right bolt and it is the greatest present danger to
Democratic victory
Three assures and almost a fourth out of four
tries. There was justification every time and espe-
c1ally The New Deal wooed him before election
and treated him like smallpox Immediately afterward
and ever since. AS Democrat with an outstanding
liberal record he had right to bitter resentment
when he saw the liberal platform to which he had
finally given support dsregarded in part.
But here is the weakness of his assault:
1t wasn't all disregarded He treated NRA and
AAA as platform violations If they were, what
did these words in the platform mean: "Substan-
tial reduction in the hours of labor revision (of
the antitrust acts) for the better protection of labor
and the small producer expansion of the Fed
eral program of necessary and useful construction
effective control of crop SURPRISES so that our
farmers may have the full benefit of the domestic
market 2"
These words describe NRA and part of AAA II
they are sterile, so was the platform. Maybe Al has
better way to fulfill those promises The weakness
is that he didn't say so.

Here is perfectly gorgeous novel about bunch of

with impact like that from of Joe Louis left

He tells about two agitators in California who

You sense, from the beginning that the strike IS

room from which he would never
leave alive.
Please do not ask to see him,
sir" the nurse pleaded.
But l must see him." the
Prince insisted in low tone.
The head nurse turned and led
the way into the darkened little
room, almost eloquent with its I'M
utterable tragedy.
The Prince walked firmly to the
bed. His face was white and his
lips were drawn. In the dim light
he looked down on what had once
been a man, but was now only a
horrible ana unforgettable wreck
from the monstrouS war.
Tears came to his eyes Then
impulsively he bent down and
kissed the cheeks of the broken
hero.
DURING the great battle of
IL Loos, he left his car behind
the front and started out to re-
connoiter for himself. Shells were
moaning and whistling overhead,
searching far back for transport
lines and munition dumps.
In short time the Prince start
ed back to his car. 1t was no
longer there. A high explosive
shell had made a direct hit on
it, and his old chauffeur, Private
Green, who had been with him
his two years at oxford and had
been his driver in the war, had
been blown almost to bits.
Deeply shocked, the Prince in
sisted on gathering up what few
personal effects of his dead COM
rade he could find.
He sent them back himself to
Green's people with a personal
letter of coincidence. In all the
years that have followed he has
always kept in touch with this
family.
Some months earlier he had
had another close call. Near the
front lines was a small stone
building that had been partially
destroyed by shell fire. On an
inspection trip with General War
drop, the Prince had turned into
this partial shelter in order to
use his field glasses unobserved.

Washington Merry-Go-Round
BY DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALIEN

NTASHINGTON, Jan. 81
w The Administration is be-
coming increasingly worried over
the 100000 bales of cotton which
it has had hung around it's neck.
The surplus threatens to become
a milestone which may drag down
the entire cotton market.
Tomorrow the 12-cent a pound
load on two-thirds of this total
becomes due, and it is a safe bet
that no farmer who collected the
IL cents and deposited his cot
ton in government warehouse,
as collateral is now going to the
warehouse to repay his loan and
haul away his haies.
Reason is That cotton is now
selling below what he would have
to repay the government.
The Commodity Credit Corp,
Federal agency which lent
the money, may extend the
loan for another few months.
But, this only postpones the day
of reckoning when the Admins
tration will have to decide how
to get rid of the cotton.
TUO Plans
TWO plans for dumping the
Il Gotten have been discussed
backstage. They are:
/. A proposal by Senator Got
ton Ed Smith of South Carolina
to market the cotton at the rate
OF 10000 bales a week.
2. A plan by Secretary Wallace
and Chester G. Davis, AAA adj
ministrator, to take over the cot
ton and sell it on the world mar
ket when the time is ripe.
Between the hackers of these
two plans there is vigorous dis
agreement. Senator Smiths plan
is opposed by the Agriculture De-
partment.
To sell 10000 bales weekly, Mr..
Wallace contends, would play di-
rectly into the hands of the big
cotton brokers. Only four firms
in the entire United States are big
enough to handle that much cot
ton week. Furthermore, it would
depresS the market, since if the
market expected this amount of
cotton to come up for sale, and
the demand we're less, a price sag
would be inevitable.

AS heavy as ever. Some in Congress expect that an
other $4oOC000,OO0 will be needed for the coming
year.
About half million additional empoyable come
of working age every year. New jobs opened up
by recovery are offset by this yearly crop of new
muscle.
TT>HEN there is old friend, chronological I'M
i employment. During private discussion of I'M
employment here rhs week. Senator Guffey of
Pennsylvania said the steel industry is spending
millions of dollars installing labor-saving ma
chinery
Take the new strp-sheet mills being erected
around Pittsburgh. The old-type mill using hand
labor needed force of S75 men working around the
clock. They could produce 10000 tons year. The
new type mill needs only 126 men-one-third as
many. 1t will produce as much in month as the
od-type mill in year.
This isn't move to increase capacity. The in
duStry has been operating at less than so per cent
capacity. 1t has operated at full capacity.
Obviously the purpose of these improved instala-
men.
The National Industrial Conference Beard says
that If industrial activity reaches the 1929 level
again, it will absorb only about onethird of the UNI
employed So where are we getting?
Nobody has solution that strikes fire The at
tude now is largely one of hopeesSness of nursing
the army of idle along hand to mouth while praying
that something will turn up.

reluctance here to face the situation. Instead YOU
