Cast of Bell
For Film

HOLLYWOOD. Sept. 18.-In or
der to void sentimental complica-
lions by moving from its hallowed
moorings the historic Japanese
bell presented to Admiral Perry
by the Emperor of Japan. a plas-
ter cast will be made of it for
duplication in a motion picture
studio.
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer has dis
patched an order to company
shooting background scenes Of
Navy Blue and Gold" at the
United States Naval Academy, to
make a cast of the famous bell,
so that it may be accurately re-
produced.
Studio technicianS pointed out
it would be impossible to shoot on
the Annapolis campus all scenes
in which the bell figures, and,
because the bell, presented to
Perry in token of the opening Of
Japan's ports to world trade, is
regarded reverently here and in
that country, it cannot be moved
The bell hangs in the pagoda
on the naval school campus and
never is rung except after a Navy
football victory. It will be tolled
in Navy Blue and Gold" celebrat-
ing the cadets victory over Army.

Capacchione knows Wallace
Berry from his shuttle. The
actor could walk in under a
blanket, Capacchione believes,
and he would recognize him.
GABLE HAS STRIDE
Clark Gable is another whom
Capacchione detects by his
stride. Gable walks heavily,
heels hitting the pavement re-
soundingly, followed by a slight
rise of the body as he digs in"
with the toes.
The nearest the doorkeeper

He knows more movie actors
than any man in Hollywood; he
can recognize them from the
sound of their footsteps or the
backs Of their heads; he knows
by first name more stenogra-
pliers and clerks than an en-
ployment agency.
He is Frank Capacchione, who
guards the front-office door of
Metro-G oldwyn Mayer studios,
one of the many entrances
through which pass 5000 per-
sons per day.
This all-seeing youth with the
super-Pullman porter memory
admits daily between 1900 and
1000 actors and office workers,
cameramen and technicianS
whom he knows by first name.
But only very few know
Capacchione. His business is to
know studio employees and keep
trespaSsers out. Only about one
person out of every 20 knows
him, he says.
RECOGNIZED BY HEADS
Frank, as acquaintance call
him for reasons obvious, has
been behind his glass cage at
the studio front door for five
years. From this vantage point
he surveys the constant stream
of humanity-probably the
most glamorous procession in
the mountaineering them in
and out in his big black leather
book.
His uncanny ability to remem-
Der names and faces is enough
to make a politician enviouS.
Eleanor Powell he knows by
the click-click of her heels.
Being fast tap-dancer and
full of energy, it is difficult
for her to walk slowly" Capac-
chione believes. Her step is
easily recognized.
When players are leaving the
studio, I can hear them coming
down the hallway inside long
before they open the door. I
guess I learn them, well-just
as a blind man associates
sounds with people.

work at our studios in "The
Rage of Paris" is to be a sensa-
ton. I saw a French production
in which she appeared and feel
enthusiastic over the poSsibili-
ties of this French player when
her first Hollywood production
reaches the screens Of the coun-
try.
AS you know, Edgar Bergen and
Charlie Mccarthy have been
signed by Universal and great
plans are being made for the
production in which the little
friend" Of w. c. Fields is to be
starred.
Very briefly, other new pro-
auctions will include 1.-THE Road
to Reno" from the I. A. r.
Wylie serial for which all the
major PRODUCING companies were
bidding. Yesterdays Kisses"
from the emotional drama by
Luigi Pirandello, will also be
produced. Pirandello was award
ed Nobel Prize, as you will re-
call.
Many others are in the offing
and the executives Of our COM
pany believe sincerely that on
those weeks when the RKO
Keith Theater announcements
read "A New Universal Picture
that in each instance the reac-
ton will equal the heights Of en-
tertainment as is now being ac-
corded by "100 Men and a Girl"

The scene is a block in
New York'S ghetto and it is
full of pushcartS and extras
who look like they might be
residents of Hester Street.
Joan hates out-of-door-Shots
because she says she always
squints.
This morning, she is in a
very good mood, however,
because she is starting a pic
ture under Director Frank
Borzage. Years ago, when
she was an extra, Joan made
a test under Borzage for the
Janet Gaynor role in "Sev-
enth Heaven" She didn't
get the part, but she has
liked the director since that
time.
Despite the fact that it is
the first day of the picture,
his presence keeps her from
being nervous. Joan remem-
bers those extra days, too,
and is very pleasant to the
atmosphere people on the
set.

admitted to this country without duty
since We produce no silk Of our own.
It Is believed the Japanese would be
unable to find other markets for their
silk except At ruinous prices. II this
be true, an effective boycott of silk
would reduce large section Of the
Japanese people to q state bordering
on destitution. and would have a seri-
Gus adverse effect on that country's
foreign exchange without which Japan
would be unable to purchase the e.
sentials Of war.
Possible Boycott Result.
There is the additional possibility
that the silk market, once lost to the
japanese, might never be regained
since the people Of this country, should
they become accustomed to silk SUBJ
stitutes at lower costs, might prefer
to continue using them in the future.
The fact remains, however, that a
boycott of Japanese manufactured
goods and raw silk. while possibly dis
astrous to- the island empire, would
also have an adverse effect on some
sections Of American industry. The
extent Of the injury to our industry Is
conjectural, but some Government ex-
perts have expressed the belief it would
be inconsequential when compared
with the effect on Japan.
The development Of the rayon in
dustry in this country has reached q
point where 1t is used four times as
much as silk. But silk is still preferred
In the manufacture OF women's hosiery
Last year 100000 dozen pairs Of
silk stockings were manufactured in
this country, as against 7,500, 900 dozen
pairs Of rayon and cotton hosiery.
Men Use Small Percentage.
Ninety per cent Of the silk products
are used by women and only . per
cent by men. It Is obvious from these
figures that women must be willing
to give up silk stockings and other
silk finery If boycott is to be
effective.
An abandonment of silk products
would affect American shippers and
distributors, but the principal blow
would fall on the makers of silk goods
and hosiery. In 1885 there we're 658
concerns. located largely in Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey, engaged in
making silk products They employed
$500 workers, had q pay roll Of
$40, SOC. 900 and produced goods worth
$l4s, 100000 Should these concerns
have to stop making silk materials
their only recourse would be to begin
the production Of rayon and cotton
fabrics. The equipment of the larger
concerns is adaptable to such a
change. but that Of some Of the
smaller ones is not.
The full-fashioned hosiery industry
embraces some 800 concerns, employ
ing about $4,000 workers. In some
cases they. too, could begin produc-
ton Of rayon and cotton hose. but
many Of them unquestionably would
suffer hardships
