dicated the committee may indefi,
nitely postpone action on the
Parsons bill to continue diversion
of 5000 cubic feet of water per
second from Lake Michigan into

The measure, which has aroused
bitter opposition from Great Lakes
States and attracted keen sup
port from States in the Mississippi
Valley, would avert a reduction of
the diversion to 1,500 cubic feet
next year under a Supreme Court
decision.
The committee, a poll showed,
is closely divided. Representatives
Of Great Lakes States claimed a
13.to-12 majority against the
measure in the committee, but
there was admittedly the posi-

struggling to fight off the insects. There were
shots of locusts whirling in vast swarms, which
Hollywood said were plain coffee grounds
filmed floating in water, Kansas close-ups
of the er -locusts, and 50 on, all COM
bined and printed as one. The result fitted
into striking effect.
When Basevi and his friend, Richard Day.
were handed synoptic version of "Hurri-
cane" they speedily went to work. Basevi is
not only a good craftsman, but is an artist to
boot. He went through the rough script and
made two volumes of drawings, showing the
sets as he visualized them These drawings
were photostated so that Director John Ford
and other executives and workers had copies
The volumes, in brief. constituted a pictorial
continuity of the story.
Then the time for shooting the film ap-
preached. Basevi and Day built miniatures
of Manukura. The nuts, the church - indeed,
the whole island was done in small way
and photographed.
Manukura passed its screen test - and
then the studio replica was built. A set 600
feet long was constructed, showing the fore
shore of the island, with wharf, huts, church
and trees In a limpid lagoon - tank to you
was constructed part of the island. show
ing the doomed church and a stout tree. This
tank was $50 feet square. Here took place the
big scenes of the hurricane.
On platforms at one end of the tank were
six huge gale creators, with giant propellers,
driven by 12-cylinder Liberty motors. Six
other wind machines we're built by the studio.
Above was structure of timber and steel

the streets while buildings toppled all about

before thin. highly luminous screen. From
the rear of the screen was projected a previ-
ously- filmed motion picture of falling build

of this movie with absolute realism - and
with perfect safety.
Basevi next created the locust plague for
''The Good Earth" If you think it easy to

era crew was sent into the Middle West to
catch the profles of some locusts with screen

- LYMPUS is spic-and-span little
office in one of the great Holly
wood studios. The Zeus is snartly
tweeded Englishman in his forties,
one James Basevi Zeus sits most of each day
at drafting board smoking pipe.
This Basevi has startled movie audiences
around the globe with his adroitly manufac-
tured miracles. He created the locust plague
in The Good Earth" the earthquake in
"San Francisco. the raging storm in "Hwri-
cane"
In "Hurricane' you saw the South Sea

studied city in the throes of terror you saw
buildings topple. pavements buckle in front
of you, steam and water hurtle from the
yawning crevices. In The Good Earth" you
watched great hordes of locusts descend upon
the fields of ripping grain and leave them
barren.
The deus ex m0ckina of these miracles -
the tweeded British Zeus with the closely
cropped mustache - is James Basevi. Basevi
was born in Plymouth, England. He was
educated at Malvern College and became an
architect In 1911 he embarked from Queens
town and shortly set up an Office in Calgary,
Alberta The future looked bright; and then
the World War came along. Basevi enlisted.
He was back in civvies in 1919, returning to
Canada Now his troubles began. Money was
tight; there was no construction. An architect
was luxury.
Basevi wandered down to San Francisco.
That was 1922. He saw small advertisement
in newspaper, calling for an architect and
craftsman He answered, got the job. The
post was with one of the big Hollywood
studios. Basevi's boss was Richard Day,
fellow Canadian. 1t was the beginning of a
long standing friendship.
Basevi soon learned the curious technique
of pictures. One of the early effects he created
was the momentous scene you will remember
in THE Big Parade" - the march through
Belleau Wood when step by step the Yankees
advanced through drifting shrapnel smoke
against the Germans.
1t wasn't until 1885, though, that you
began to hear much about Basevi in Holly
wood. A scene something like this had taken
place:
Basevi had entered the sanctum of the late
Irving Thalberg.
