 Hollywood. and chorus girls are not the only people thronging to crash the gates of talkietown. Studios also are under tho constant siege of inventors.
 Most of these have something with which they expect to revo- lutionize the industry. Right now there's great boom in schemes for three -dimensional projection And scarcely day passes but somebody is around trying to ped- dle a new idea in television.
 Usually they have no samples
 Co show, but merely ask the
 advance of q few thousand dol-
 lars for the development of their
 Inspirations.
 Some very remarkable contrap- tons are offered the movie com panies. One fellow designed a ma chine which he declared would save the studios a lot of money by testing, in advance, the poten- tial glamoours of young actresses.
 After various electrodes were attached to an aspirant, she would be given the script of a heavy love scene to read aloud
 Then. by watching the dialS registering heart action, blood pressure, and temperature, q cast ing director could tell at a glance whether she could play an emo tional part with sincerity. Very simple.
 ROBOT YES-MAN
 WhimS of the weather cost the studios millions annually, and rain makers (and un-makers) from ull over the world have thoughtfully offered their services in controlling the clements. Most of 'em want to to go Up in aIrplanes and sprinkle mysterious powder guaranteed to dissolve clouds.
 A team of sky-wrIters has de- clared It's ability to create any de- sired cloud effect, from fluffy cumulus to the lowering thunder storm variety.

 Ny no means are all the inveh- tons offered Hollywood silly or impractical Hundreds of reputable specialists, many of them employed by studios are working independ- ently on chemical formulae for pro- ceusing film, new ideas In lightias, color problems. and refinementS for cameras and sound recording.

Warner Baxter and Wal. lace Beery in Major
 Roles of Sea Story

That notable bulwark of notion picture grandeur, the sea, which has served the screen well both as arch william and as the scene of many stirring adventures, comes once again to the fore in an important production with Slave Ship" the Twentieth Century Fox film star ring Warner Baxter and Wallace Beery, opening Saturday at the Loew Poll theater.
 Under the direction of Fay Gar nett, who Is Hollywoods most ex- perienced practical yachtsman, the picture was designed to bring once more to movie audiences the tang of salt sea, the creaking of timberS under strain and the melodralna and danger incident to sailing ships and pounding seas.
 This Is the story of the last slav- CT sailing on It's last desperate voy- age.
 In the most colorful role of e colorful career, Warner Baxter plays Captain Jim Lovett romantic scourage of two seas, who defies the navies of the world, is betrayed by Q shipmate, and fights at last for love In the greatest seq advanture of them all

NEED OF SOCIAL
ENGINEERING SEEN
Sir WiIImott Lewis Tells
Transportation Club Prog
resS Is Out of Step.

The world today needs ".social en-
gineering" to solve the problems
growing out of the huge concentrations
of urban population, Sir Willmott
Lewis, Washington correspondent of
the London Times, last night told the
Transportation Club of Washington
More than 100 members of the club
and their guests heard the writer, who
spoke at the first dinner meeting of
the organization following the Summer
recess at the Raleigh Hotel.
Pointing to the inventive advances
the years have brought, Sir Willmott
declared that the world has not yet
learned to cope with the evils of want
and poverty. There still is "a lag
between moral and material progress"
that must be taken up, he amplified.
And if there is to be advancement,
the speaker emphasized, there must
be peace.
Sir Willmott was introduced by
Charles H. Bates, a past president of
the club, which numbers in its men,
bership representatives of transporta-
ton agencies and officers in charge of
traffic of many local industries.
