On the SCREEN sound and sight absolutely synchronize
but the film the sound track opposite specific picture
is not that belonging that picture 1t belongs to
nearly two feet away This because of the difference in
the projection machine between the lens aperture for picture
projection and the place where light forced through the
sound track the phooelecrc cell of the soundrepro

69,415 Urged
Saratoga Be
Released

HOLLYWOOD, July 17.-"Sara-
toga," Jean Harlow's last picture,
will be released generally, July %.
Behind this fact lies one of the
most unusual technical tasks ever
attempted in a Hollywood studio.
When the flood Of letters began
pouring in, demanding the release
of the picture, Director Jack Con-
way was faced with the problem
of devising a means Of finishing
the few uncompleted scenes with
out the feminine star.
The solution lay in rewriting
these sequences, to eliminate, so
far as possible, the character she
played, re-editing scenes already
filmed to conform with the new
treatment, and several technical
devices.
The ballots showed 69,415 favor
ing the release of Saratoga" with
1853 against.
Fortunately, the ending of the
picture, with Miss Harlow and
Clark Gable, had already been
filmed. Miss Harlow was in all
scenes up to the next-to-last reel
of the production.
A double was used in the few
rewritten scenes, but her appear
anceS were minimized. In these
instances only long shots were
made, the double appearing with
her back to the camera. In no
place is her face seen. Details
such as entering doors, or run
ming across lawns, to "tie IN" with
scenes already made with Miss
Harlow, were used.
Saratoga" a race-track story.
from the pen Of Anita Loos and
Robert Hopkins, deals with q
romance between the daughter of
a wealthy horse owner and a
bookmaker. Much of the action
is at the Saratoga race track.
The final two reels, dealing with
intrigue over a horse race and a
bet, were rewritten so that most
Of the action was in the exterior
reproduction Of the race track,
where long shots with the double
could be most easily made.

That's HOu yWOOd
By VICTOR MOORE

&c oLLYWooD is glamorous, Hollywood is nice
- Hollywood is amorous Hollywood is ice.
Hollywood will pick you if you've got the stuff,
Hollywood will kick you till you cry enough
Hearts big in Hollywood big heads there few,
Hearts light in Hollywood hearts heavy, too
ScOLLYWOOD is easy, Hollywood is great,
- Hollywood is cheesy, if you re outside the gate
Hollywood is colossal when you have the call,
Hollywood leaves fossil, behind the old eight ball.
Hollywood will find you, if you've got the crust,
Hollywood will grind you back into the dust.
Hollywood does remember, Hollywood soon forgets
Here are blackened embers of sorrowful regrets
~ winner
Hollywood stark and cold with nothing in for dinner.
Hollywood is fine, life begins at seven,
You called at nine, and start to work at eleven~
Hollywood has lovely hair of honds there are many,
And there is hair there, where there isn't any
In Hollywood there's no doubt they drive with speed
uncanny,
And if you don't look out, they'll knock you on your
fanny.
SCOLLYWoOD will take you in part that you ADORE
- Then Hollywood will shake you, and leave you
the cutting-room floor.
Hollywood homes swell, swimming pools with few,
You can never tell if they have mortgage two.
Hollywood has high fog either early or late,
Hollywood has dog, two three eight.
No thunder to excite you, cold to cause you pain
No mosquitoes to bite you but they have unusual rain
It's nice and green in Hollywood and you take it
from me,
From what I've of Hollywood, it's dam nice
place to be.

The Phone Girl
| Admits She's
| Bit GOOfy
BY HELEN TROY
r., b. x. Operator, General
HOSPITAL" M.G-M.

HOLLYWOOD think it's a
shame so many telephone opera
tors go crazy. It's so much nicer
to go into the movies.
It's easy, too. All you have to
do is be real smart or real crazy
and they give you a contract.
My mother always said that I'd
go crazy, but I think it's fun.
Don't you?
I'm pretty smart for a crazy girl,
though. I'm not only a telephone
operator but I'm a lobbyist. Not
one of those hotel things. I'm a
legislature lobbyist.
I'm going to ask my congress
man to pass a bill making it un-
lawful for a telephone operator
to handle more than one call at
a time. This is a great step for
ward. Any girl would go nuts try
ing to listen to eight converse
tions at once.
Many times have been listen
ing in on a man with the sweet
est voice when another with
voice just as sweet would put
through a call. I got so excited
trying to decide which to listen
to I could scream.
I'm not curious though. I Just
like to listen to people talk. That's
how I learn so much. And I'm
not just giving myself a plug, ha.
ha, ha,
Another thing that causes us
poor girls to lose our minds is
trying to figure out what a fel-
low looks like from the way he
talks. Why is it that men with
such nice voices turn out so
homely when you fill a blind
date? And have you girls noticed
how the fellows with harsh voices
look like Robert Taylor when an.
other girl dates him?
A girl can't be too careful,
though, in choosing her voice
friends (get it, ha, ha). Mother
warned me once not to have any
thing to do with a smooth voice
I met. didn't obey her. The voice
had the Group and I caught it.

Making Over Chair of the Gingerbread Era.

TO modernize the old walnut
i chair at the right the pieces
under the arms were removed and
most of the carving covered UP.
The padding at the back was re-
moved entirely and replaced by
a fiber board which was covered
by a loose cotton filled cushion
tufted like an old fashioned bed
comfort except that the tied
thread ends of the tufting were
left on the wrong side.
This back cushion was fastened
in place with tapes that slipped
over the knobs at the ends of the
upper carving. If the knobs to
hold the cushion had been lacking
it could have been tackled in place
along the top on the under side
by using a strip of heavy card
board to keep the tacks from pull
ing through the fabric as shown
here for lacking the box pleated
ruff1e around the seat as at A.
A plain rust colored heavy cotton
upholstery material was used for
the covering.

CONSIDERING fashion from
~ fabric angle, the big news is the
outstanding Importance attached to
the use of fine wool weaves not only
for daytime clothes, as one would
naturally expect, but that which is
the thrill of thrills is the widespread
use of rich wool materials for the
evening apparel.
If you have the right slant on that
which is truly high style you will
wear over your prettiest formal gown
to the opera, horse show, or to your
favorite dine-and-dance rendezvous,
floor length cape (three-quarter
length if you prefer) of broadcloth,
duvetyn, or hubby tweed or even
fine jersey, as some few Paris de-
signers now sponsor.
For the more casual and workman
like modes, smartly patterned fan
nels are shown in gay young stripes,
checks and geometrical designs that
yield to fattering tailored treat
ment emphasizing square-shoul-
dered lines with mannish details to
accent, by way of contrast, the fem
ininity of the beautifully nodded sill
houette. To the left in the picture
you will see just such a garment. It
is of deep wine flannel with a smart
white pin stripe, the same distinc-
lively tailored in wraparound robe
which is at once chic and practical.
It has broad padded shoulders, slit
pockets and tailored shawl collar

and is built on graceful fitted and
fared lines. A self-fabric sash
is tied casually at the waist.
In keeping with the mood for ele-
gance that dominates current
styles, there is a decided tendency
to embellish these lovely at-home
f1annels with glistening trimmings
and bright metallic touches also law
ish embroidery, beading and fringe
that contrasts to perfection the
smooth richness of the fabric. For
closings all the fashion world loves
the new decorative slide fasteners
that run the full length of the gar
ment. See centered in the group the
slender sculptured lines of a fitted
wooden robe in rich blue flannel en-
livened with contrasting tri-colored
bands that make perfect set
ting for the neck-to-hemline slide
fastener that CLEANS so brightly
against its gaily colorful back
ground.
A diagonal Upper glittering with
gold sequins is striking against the
jet black of a gracefully draped
robe in soft lightweight flannel, as
shown to the right in the group.
From slender, high-built waist the
wraparound skirt falls in soft flow
ing lines and the well-cut sleeves
are slightly pulled at the shoulders.
Silk cord with gold pointed ends ties
at the neck for fiattering effect.

DESIGNER SETS OUT
FASHION SIGNPOSTS
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

From no less an authority than
the renowned Schiaparelli comes
this foreword in regard to fashions
on the way. Says this distin-
guished style creator: "Signposts
signal a new class distinction for
black tailored suits, giving them
first place in fashions relay"
They flash Ego" to innumerable
jersey stockings to match sports
blouses in same material; pailletted
bowknots; all the tinsel decora-
tons of Christmas tree directed in
fashion channels.
The signals tell us the road lies
straight ahead to long legs, higher
waistline and covered throat, to
draped sleeves and draped blouses,
to bust length jackets, to jewels
you never saw before made to flash
from jacket lapels and so the story
of fashion unfolds.

Streamliners are what they call
the stunning party dresses that

The handsomely gowned young

She is wearing a dinner suit OF
uncut black silk velvet with en-
phasis on the word silk for there is
an insistent and increasing demand
for materials of sterling quality
that bear an air of distinction. The
smart fitted jacket has appliques of
gold kid flowers. The applique idea
is a fashion highlight this winter,
carried out not only in gold on black

fective designing is being achieved

perS Onal
Christmas
Present

\ IRIS. GREENE sighed as she
MT rummaged through the old
L v l. trunk for the Christmas
decorations. Sighed, and also felt
ashamed. For why should she be
lonely, with two fine grown sons,
successful enough to satisfy any
mother?
But Mrs. Greene missed her
tousled-headed lads, and as she fin
gered the battered drum, the out
grown mittens, the books and souve-
Mrs, she felt a deep pang that no
one needed her any longer.
She found the decorations and
hustled down. Mary, the house
keeper the boys provided, had fin
ished. There was really nothing left
to be done. She thought of other
tired Christmas ewes, and could
stand the oppression of memories
no longer. ''I'm going out" she
said, and with no other explanation
get out into the night.
It was crisp and starlit, and she
walked far. The light and warmth
OF cafe attracted her, and she
stopped for tea. Over the rim of
her teacup her eyes met those of a
small boy just outside the window.
He drew back shyly, leaving moist
spot where his nose had touched the
pane. He looked very hungry, not
just the healthy hunger which her
sons had brought home from school,
but as though he were really in
need. Mrs. Greene smiled and beck
oned. "Come in," she invited. The
boy shook his head, started to go,
but the temptation of warmth and
food was too much.
"That's better" Mrs. Greene ap-
proved, when he was seated oppo-
site her, with great bowl of soup.
IT just needed someone to talk to-"
And before long she had heard the
boys whole story. Having no folks,
he lived with an uncle, but he want
ed to get out on his own. There
