"SIDES" ME ANS SEVERAL THINGS IN MOVIE LINE
By ROBBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Sept. 25.-A side" means many things in Hol- lyWood = usually a page of scrip filled with dialogue that the actor must learn by o'clock. A side is also what some actors get pain in real or imaginary.
 But let Lloyd Bacon talk. He feels lvery strongly about sides" today.
 Director Bacon recently had a picture in which young actress i decided she had a good side" and a bad side" Being gentleman and a diplomat, Bacon won't say who the girl was, but this is what she told him:
 Remember, you can't photograph the left side of my face-that's my bad side"
 To which Bacon replied: Young lady an actress has no bad side. 1 If she's a real acress she can have a wen the size of a marble on her cheek and the fans won't notice lit"
 Blames Photographers
 Having met this bad side" busi- ness many times in his directorial duties, Bacon is emphatic.
 Its all foolishness," he declares. Its been built up by smart cam eramen who, in order to insure themselves life jobs, convince stars they should be photographed only one way.
 No one noticed when Sarah Bernhardt came on the stage that she had but one leg. And no ones going to notice if a great screen ac- tress has a face that's a little out of kilter"
 Gone Are The Days 1, A steward at c. B. DeMille's ranch was bitten by snake so DeMille now has posted instructions for treatment. Precautions include quiet and abstinence from liquor Cecil B. says whiskey, the traditional first thought of the victim, is all wrong.
 I mention it here to point up how times have changed. In silent pie lures directors, DeMille among them, resorted to all sorts of machinations to get the heroine and the hero alone in the mountain cabin. The sudden thunderstorm ranked first in plot expedients and is still good. But letting the heroine get snake bite, and following it up with this whiskey cure, was certainly high on the list. The whiskey cured the snake-bite and also the heroine's in- hibitions, paving the way for the fade-out clinch. Snake-bite plus whiskey, plus a sudden thunder storm, simply couldn't be beat.

The Guidite World
of Music
The Kettle Drum
By Miss Ethel Jones

One of the most interesting in
struments of the percussion section
of an orchestra is the kettle drum.
These drums, the only ones which
ave definite pitch, resemble copper
or brass kettle of spherical shape
over which are stretched calfskins.
The skins at first were stretched
or released by six or eight tunint
screws which made possible a
range of a full octive. Today, the
tuning of the modery tympani is
accomplished by the use of a me
chanical device. Through this de-
vice the change can be made with
the turning of but one screw The
chromatic tones can also be OBJ
tanned on adequately constructed
instruments by pedals. The drum
sticks used are of wood: others are
covered with sponge, flanel, cork,
felt or leather.
To meet the requirements of a
composition, the tympanist often
has to change from n set of
sticks to another as well as to
constantly retune his instrument.
This returning often occurs in the
midst of a movement in order to
follow the modulations of modern
compositions.
The original home of the kettle
drum is the Orient. It is among the
oldest known instruments of the
Greeks. As early as the thirteenth
century, the tympanic had made
their way to southern and western
Europe. They were generally used
as an accompaniment to the trum-
pet. Large kettle drums were
known in the fifteenth century in
Hungary, from where they found
their way to Germany and France.
Toward the end of the 18th century
they were used by the Prussian ca
valry. Until 100 they held caste
among the tribes of Africa very
much as they do today.
In orchestras today, the tym-
fpani are many times used as solo
instruments. A most unique ex-
APPLE is in the "Gurlesque in D Min
or" for piano and orchestra and
Till Eulen-spiegel," by Richard
Strauss, and in the last movement
of the symphony phantastique of
Berlioz. But the most dramatic and
symbolic use of the instrument is in
the operas of Wagner.

The Wrangell sentinel., 1937-12-24

by reason of the fact that the pro portion of native Indians in Wran- geI is considerably greater than in any other municipality of this divi~ sion, 1t being estimated that the na- i've population Is approximately 300.
 There are approximately 70 pieces of real property within the incOr- porated limits claiming exemption by reason of being Indian Possess sion Lands.
 It is obvious that the balance of citizens are obliged to carry such additional burden in the form of streets, sewers, police, light, school and other expenses, for which prac- tically no revenue Is received from the native population.
 A quite recent school report was to the effect that 58 percent of the school enrolment is native Indian, part native children.
 Under the above conditions it is impossible to enforce the building, fire and sanitary regulations within the native districts.
 The Town of Wrangell, as a nun icipality is unable to make the nee essary improvements in such dis tricts to bring them up to a par with other parts of the town. and tax payers object to the expenditure of town money within such districts as return no revenue.
 In view of the above it is believ- ed to be a proper subject for the ex- penditure of public funds, inasmuch as the government has seen fit to grant them citizenship and to eX empt them from paying their share of all the advantages they now re- ceive.
 School Improvements
 As referred to in the above sub ject, a very large percent of the school enrolment is native Indian which are now all being educated in our public school at the expense of the Town of Wrangell.
 To provide for such education, the town WltulH tue ldSl lew ySdlo bOlAu- ed itself to the extent of $50,000 for the construction of a new public school. The building itself is a cred it to any municipality the size of Wrangell
 No funds, however, have ever been available to improve and complete the grounds, and the grounds are therefore a loss from the standpoint of appearance and usefulness.
 The total expense to complete the public school property is a compar- atively small matter, but as it is used for both native and white children, it is also suggested as proper project for expenditure of public funds.
 Public Highways
 Wrangefl is reported to have less miles of highway per capita than any other municipality in the dis
The Wrangell sentinel., 1937-12-24

trict.
 The total length of highway. inc cluding that within the city limits, is approximately 74A miles. Approxi- mately 3 miles of this road is a single track road with turn-outs, rendering it not only unsatisfactory but now dangerous, considering the increased use of the road within the past two years.
 A section extending south from he end of the present highway was feared in 1885, put no funds have 5een available to grade and surface the road
 It is therefore suggested for con sideration, the widening of the pres ent road to a standard width, the completion of that section now cleared. and a highway extending to the east shore of the island on East ern Passage and continuing to con meet with the present highway at the north end of the island. Such a proposed road would make a loop, opening up an area now inaccessible for settlement
 Floats
 In 1886 a portion of Wrangell har- bor was dredged under a Federal contract to accommodate small craft. While this particular area is used to some extent to anchor fishing boats for storage it has been disappoint- ing in that no provision was made for any floats or approaches to the shore, and boats so anchored can only be reached by skiffs.
 During the present year the Ter ritorial Roads Department approved an appropriation of $6,O00 for dredging small boat basin within the inner harbor. This is now in course of construction.
 The appropriation covers only the cost of excavating.
 This small boat basin is 15O it.. by 400 it. but can be reached only at high water the area between this inner harbor and Etolin harbor, be- ing dry at low tide.
 This appropriation carried no pro- vision for floats or approaches. To render our small boat harbor prae- ticable, a channel should be dredged from the outer to the inner harbor to enable boats to enter and depart at all stages of the tides, and the necessary floats and approaches con meeting with the shores.
 It has been estimated that nearly 100 power trollers and other types of small fishing crafts are obliged to winter in outlying small harbors within radius of 50 miles from Wrangell who would otherwise avail themselves of the above proposed harbor improvements.
 Such a project does not concern the Town of Wrangell alone, but would benefit the fishermen of this entire district
 All of the above proposed projects,
