film MUSICAL
Edward Everett Horton
and Jack Oakie Have
Comic Lead in Film

When Hollywood transfers bit
of African jungle to one of its mo-
ton picture sound stages, all is re-
quires is the aid of geological in
stitute, a florist, a truck gardner
and a bottled water dealer.
With the aid of these and its own
staff of artists. carpenters and plas-
terers, RKO Radio studio created
one of the most beautiful and I'M
usual sets for Hitting a New High, =
showing at the Capitol Theatre to-
night, with Jesse L. Lasky's musical
starring Lily Pons, famed coloratura
soprano and Jack Oakie, inimitable
comedian.
AS a hoax to advance the talents
Of a little cafe singer, Miss Pons Is
called bird girl" the discovery
for whom Edward Everett Horton
takes the credit unaware that his
publicity man, Jack Oakie, arranged
the plan. AS millionaire big-game
hunter and part time impressario,
Horton finds Miss Pons during his
jungle hunt, only to see her bios
som out as a musical comedy star
in Paris and New York
BY carving away about 600 square
feet Of flooring covering a stage,
Workmen created a concrete pool
which was filled with 5000 gallons
of bottled drinking water, first heat
ed to 85-degrees. This was a pro-
lection against alkalies and to in
sure the singer against taking cold,
since the scene required her to
spend altogether about forty hours
in the pool
Rocky crags were built around the
background, leaving a semi-cave in
the foreground. The cave was filled
with tropical vegetation. Plaster
gnarled trees provided foolproot
duplicates of jungle varieties. These
were draped with long vines, some
of them growing orchids. Ferns
bamboos, banana and rubber trees
thickly flourished around the set
ting. To lend additional color, fresh
rhubarb plants gave effective imi-
tations of equatorial vegetation.

Wear Your Clothes,
Also Eat EN-, Too

NEW YORK, Aug. 10. = Future
scientists may discover how to make
clothes which can be eaten.
The beginning of this idea Is
already a fact--in the new synthetic
wool, made from milk, in Italy.
Men cannot eat this synthetic
wool. But numerous kinds OF bac-
terra can. Furthermore they do eat
it. according to tests announced by
Jan Smit and B. van der Heide
of Wageningen, Holland, in the
British science journal, Nature.
Italy's artificial wool, made from
the casein, or cheese part of milk,
is so good that chemists are pre-
dieting great industry in this
kind of textile. 1t occurred to
Dutch scientists these clothes might
be subject to unusual threats.
They found many varieties of
bacteria which liked the wool.
Scientifically the presumption Is
that chemists will be able to add q
bad taste to the artificial wool
which will keep the bacteria from
eating it - if anyone lives where
germs start to take the clothes off
his back.

cigarettes on a roofgarden at one
of the hotels. She wanted to learn
all the little tricks of acting before
she went to Hollywood again.
But sometimes even an actress
plans get changed. And this girls
certainly are. For she fell in love
with the drama teacher and mar
ried him. And today she is his as
sistant, giving instruction to stu
dents who want to learn how tC
act.

American, Mexican, Chinese or
japanese, English, French or what
have you. 1t used to be that you
could make your villain a COM
munist but the left wing hovers
over Hollywood also and you
mustn't. A Yankee is out of the
question. You might take a chance
on an Eskimo. But who ever heard
of an Eskimo heavy?
You've got to lay off politics al
together. No race problems. Misce-
genation is out Nix on war. Stay
away from social conditions. Steer
clear of labor problems. Eschew the
class conflict. Soft pedal on sex
Avoid religion. In short, lay off OF
life. It's censorable.
The producing talent is here
There are technical experts whose
knowledge is awe inspiring, splen-
did actors and actresses, able and
competent writer's, talent galore in
every department everything, in
short, to turn out great pictures.
But you mustn't. It's all right in
books, in magazines, in the news
papers, on the lecture platforms,
even on the radio but not in the
movies. The greatest blight on the
greatest of all the contemporary
arts is censorship. No great strides
will ever be made until the crea-
tive forces unite to defeat then
worst foe-the censor boards.
If this be treason, sue me.

BALLOON TIRES
ROLL CLINCHER
into OBLIVION

AKRON, Ohio, Aug. 10.-Am-
erica's first automobile tire, the
"clincher," is rolling into oblivion
at rate of more than 100000 q
year, according to Pete Seller, g.
year-old chief inspector of the B
F. Goodrich Company, who placed
the first set on machine for Alex
ander Winton in 1896.
There still are several hundred
antiquated motor cars of the vint-
age 1924, or earlier, on the nations
highways, Seller said, and their
remarkable staying quality has kept
the "clincher" tire in the field
despite the rapid development of
the balloon"
Last year, Seller added, 1000
"clinchers" we sold, but this year
will see 40 per cent drop with
approximately 235,000 sales. Auto
mobile wheels designed for the
"clincher" tire were built last in
1924.
Southern States and the South
west are the principal markets for
the "clincherD tire, Seller reported,
with considerable quantity ship
ped to Europe each year. The go
by 81 size still is the most popular
"clincher," he said, although many
of the 80 by 81" type, reminiscent
of the days when the rear tires
were larger than those on the
front wheels, are in demand.

COAST GUARD
MAKES IT HOT
FOR CRIMINALS
Long Island Sound, for In
stance, Is No Longer
Easy Escape Avenue
BY GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Long Is
land Sound used to be an easy ave-
nue. of escape for thieves and fugi-
tives, but it isn't any more. Too
much coast guard. Too many fast
armed cutters on the water and
too many fleet ships in the air.
Until a few years ago it was a
commonplace for bank and jewel
robbers to race out to hidden
points on the sound and make their
getaway in speedy motorboats. The
most classic example on record was
that half-million armed-truck rob-
berry in Brooklyn few years ago.
They never have solved that one.
They followed the trail to ragged
point on the sound, where a boat
had been cached. But there the
trail ended
Now the Coast Guard has any
number of ships, some as long as
300 feet, and armed with heavy
guns and anti-aircraft equipment.
They have crews of over 100 men
and depart regularly on five-day
cruises. Their range is from New
London, Conn, to Cape May, N. j.,
and as far as 500 miles out to sea.
That must be an exciting task,
that job. Because you never know
what the next assignment will be.
You may be cruising calmly off
Nantucket one minute and be after
rum runners the next. Narcotic
runners have to be taken care of
too And the Coast Guard does a
lot of rescue work.
just the other day call came
through that robbery had taken
place and they thought the rob-
bers were making for the Sound.
Within five minutes fast boats
we're racing to that point from
New York and from Connecticut
And at that moment planes began
droning over head, blanketing the
Sound and taking cognizance of
every ship in sight If they saw a
boat the couldn't identify, no
matter how small land that means
rowboats and canoes) they made
it their business to find who they
were and where they were headed.
On this particular call no pris-
oners were taken because the BAN
dts didn't take off that way. They
probably new better. One a
haven of escape, the Sound is now
about as healthy, for fugitives, as
a crocodile slough.
Short Short: About year ago
she won a beauty contest and went
to Hollywood to become glamor-
Gus actress. They gave her bit,
and then another bit. and probably
she would be playing bits yet if she
cared for them. But this girl was
smart. She realized she knew next
to nothing about acting. So she
came back to New York =. And got
part-time job, and signed up in
school of the drama.
The job she had was selling

There are many reasons for this,
but the main cause is the Hays Of

writers is hideous dream in
which they run gantlet between
two lines of malevolent censors who
beat them with clubs labeled:

Taboo! Taboo! Taboo! That's the
principal reason for a great deal
of the lousy product that comes
out of Hollywood. (What a joy to
be able to use the word lousy"
without fear of red pencilD
Right from the start, when the
idea for story is terminated, the
writer is faced with an infinity of
prohibitions the "donts" are
endless, fantastic. 1t has come to
a point now where only a picture
like Snow White has a chance to
pass, unscarred, through the censor
boards. And even Mr.. Disneys in
nocuous masterpiece had trouble in
England.
The list of censor cuts in any
