P Property D m a n d for Horses Tails Created
 Production Panic
Wanted: 75 horses tails

wanted. 70 horses tdllS
 This item on the prop list dur ing the making of Gaumonts King Solomon's Mines" threw the entire property department into state Of utter panic.
 It was a relatively simple mat ter to collect the sharks teeth, tiger claws, monkey paws, the African oddities and ornaments demanded by the script A single afternoon s shopping produced an enormous witch doctors pouch, made from an empty tortoise-shell hung with bits of hair and a few beads. With out too many headaches, the cos tune department produced a mag nificent caroos of emu feathers. to be worn by Paul Robeson in his role of an African chief-a caroOS being a huge cape hanging to the ground.
 For the asking, the studio gath cred the most gruesome collection of human skulls ever found outside a graveyard A complete African kraal was constructed and fitted out on three-days' notice,
 But 75 horses tailsl This simple.

close to- home request completely stunped the department The larg- est horse, dealers in the country were approached. They shook their heads. The practice of docking hores tails had died, and anyway, no one would bother to keep the tail after it was separated from the horse.
 Eventually, the studio, by placing advance orders on all horses who seemed to have reached the age when they could be mercifully shot, and by constructing artificial tails of horse hair and padded leather, com pleted the requirement, and the prop department breathed again.
 The tails were wanted because they were used by the Zulus as orna- ments, and the costumes at the home studio had to correspond to the photographs shipped daily by the company on location in Zulu land-a company headed by Geof- frey Barkas.
 King Solomon's Mines is the screen version of Rider Haggard's s famous narrative. It's cast is headed by Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Roland Young, Anna Lee, John Loder and Paul Robeson. It will be shown Tues day at the Coliseum Theatre for the Girl Scouts, who are raising funds for their summer camp.

POSTWAR DAYS. SEEN IN DRAMA,
 THE ROAD BACK.
Capitol IT atre Features Noted Production To-
 night, Tomorrow

Intensely human, powerfully dra- matic, a skillful blending of comedy, pathos, suspense, is Universal's "The Road Back" which is the fea- ture at the Capitol
 Briefly, the story concerns the eff forts of group of boys to adjust themselves to conditions as they find them after an absence of four years spent in the trenches. "The Road Back" takes up where "All Quiet on the Western Front" leaves off. Both are by the same author, Erich Remarque. "The Road Back" treats of the disillusionment, the heart-breaking revelations, which come to the ex-soldiers as they find their ideals, so closely held for years, trampled under foot at home.
 The picture has an emotional power which is irresistible. Laughter follows tears; hope, fear, hatred. love, jealousy, revenge, move the au- dience like the wind sways trees.
 The cast contains 2,O0O players. The story chiefly concerns John King, Richard Cromwell, Slim Sum merville, Andy Devine, Barbara Read, Louise Fazenda, Jean Rou- verol, Maurice Murphy, Larry Blake, Henry Hunter, Noah Beery, Jr, John Emery and Gene Garrick
 The screen play was written by R. c. Sheriff and Charles Kenyon

Frances Farmer, Fred Mac Murray Are Starred Tn
 Newspaper Film

A fight to- the-finiSh war between two rival newspapers forms the col orful background of the dramatic story Exclusive" which stars Fred MacMurray, Frances Farmer and Charlie Ruggles at the Coliseum Theatre, ending tonight.
 Written for the screen by John c. Moffitt, one of the nations out standing motion picture critics re- gently signed to write film' stories, Exclusive" tells of clash in prin- ciples between father, an old school newspaperman who places his ideals before gain, and his daughter, modern girl who believes that journalism, like any other pro- fession, is a racket to be worked for what it will bring the individ- ual
 Charlie Ruggles plays the father role, the first major dramatic role of his career, and Miss Farmer plays the role of daughter She is in love with MacMurray, who works with her father and who shares the older mans principles They break when Miss Farmer refuses to change her attitude toward journalism.
 The powerful climax is reached when an article written by Miss Far mer causes one of the towns lead ing citizens to commit suicide. This makes it necessary for Ruggles to report the event and to reveal his daughters methods.
 The newspaper which employs Miss Farmer is owned by Lloyd Mo- Ian, crooked politician. The man. ner in which Ruggles' paper tri- umphs over Nolan makes 'Exclu- sive" fast-moving, thrilling and highly entertaining motion picture.
