Hollywood.-It's no trick at all
for a casting director to populate
a night club, drawing room, or SOME
other big movie set with handsome
men. And the task is just as simple
when he wants to fill a movie prison
or underworld dive with plug -uglies.
Both types are only as far away
as Hollywood's Central Casting
Bureau. A phone call will bring
any number of slick-looking gen.
tlemen,> or any number of troglo-
dytes capable of Gearing Boris
Karloff. Both kinds of atmospheric
extras receive the same wage
$3.50 a day.
A number Of prison pictures In
recent weeks has kept all these
tough guys scurrying from one
studio to another. They served a

cauliflower ears and battle-scarred

Richie, Larry Williams, Frankie

BRIGADE TO AID
SALVATION ARMY

Plans for the coming year were
announced last evening at the an
nual "get-together" OF the local Sal
walton Army, an event which was
held In the form Of supper at the
local headquarters on Savings street.
1t was announced by Adjutant Hugo
Wiberg that brigade of cadets from
the training college in New York
would come here In the spring for
a ten day campaign Of both indoor
and outdoor lectures.
More than 100 were present at the
affair last evening. Lieutenant Carl

years he didn't have name, any
way-only an assortment OF num-
bers. For various reasons he was
guest of several of this country's
best-known prisons.
The police know all about him,
too; and so do the studio authori-
ties. The latter found out so much
about him that they have hired
him as technical adviser on practi-
cally every prison picture filmed
in the colony since 1.-THE Big
House."
Knows His Prisons
Sometimes he gets as much as
$3.50 a week TO check the au-
thenticity OF prison uniforms,
marching and eating formations,
arrangement Of cells, convict slang,
and all such items.
There Is nothing about prison
life with which he is not familiar
even the death house. I'm told
that for nine months he was In
the condemned row at Sing Sing
for a crime which he didn't COM
nit. Gov. AL Smith reprieved him
four times, and then he got new
trial and was acquitted on new
evidence.
He Is short, chunky individual
with an elongated bald head, pale
, eyes, and mild manner. Once
when studio executive was UNI
kind enough TO suggest jokingly
that in this mans case crime had
paid rather well, the ex-convict
said he wished he never had seen
the inside Of a studio. For his Job
keeps him from forgetting the
past.
What he wants to do Is live on a
little ranch and raise chickens.
When he came to Hollywood 10
years ago, one such venture failed,
but he hopes soon to have enough
money to go back to it.
Hollywood is full of tales about
hunted men who get jobs in the
movies and escape detection be-
cause police would never think Of
looking for them on the screen.
The idea is entertaining, but err
roneous. Detectives are especially
vigilant around the studios, be-
cause wealthy people and their
possessions must be guarded.

railroads on the whole earned rs per
cent over fixed charges, and, in the
opinion Of the Brookmire Economic
Service, favorable factors indicate
that an uptrend in railroad business
and earnings should extend we'll into
the future and thus further improve
the position of railroad bonds
While operating efficiency and econ
omy will play part, future freight
and passenger traffic will mainly de-
term1ne the soundness of railroad
bonds. Freight traffic constitutes the
mainstay of railroad revenues, though
on many roads passenger traffic is a
considerable factor Of substantial i'm
portance.
Consequently, the sharp acceleration
in the rise OF both types of traffic
which took place in the past year is
OF vital significance to investors who
hold railroad bonds. Brookmire's s
study OF the trends of railroad freight
trafnc during the years from 1905 to
1929 reveals that freight traffic in
creased per centagewise much more
rapidly than population and notes
that this trend has been re-estab-
llshed since the sharp setback in the
three depression years of 1880 to 1882
Evidence from 3l-year record OF
railroad traffic, population and indus
trial production points strongly to
further expansion Of freight tonnage
The acceleration in the rise of freigh.
traffic in 1885 indicates the tmpor-
tance Of heavy industries in producing
freight tonnage. Operating economies
and greater efficiency, including pick
up and delivery by owned motor
transport, are likewise STRENGTHENING
competitive positions OF railroads as
freight carriers.
