Greene. To be downright blunt about
1t, the color photography is the ma
jor inspiration involved in the re-
telling of the ancient tale.
The Montagu-Capulet feud, under
the aegis of Mr.. Daryl Zanuck, this
time fades into the controversy be-
tween the GoodWins and the billions.
Both are among the best people of
the blue grass country, the former
represented by the proud Miss
Young, the latter by the equally
proud Mr.. Greene. What a time
they have of it before their mutual
love for horses brings them together.
And what a time of it the Script
writer's had trying, and failing, to
find some new dialogue to cover
those thoroughly familiar situations!
Apart from the color photography,
the chief virtues of Kentucky" turn
out to be: First, some of the finest
shots Of just horses the screen has
ever achieved and, second, a quite
impressive performance by Walter
Brennan as an "old snappin' turtle"
colonel with an enormous capacity
for hatred. It really is an amazing
thing how much drama the camera
has succeeded in getting into the
sequences which have to do with
colts gamboling over the blue grass
meadows. One might expect these
passages to be full of grace and
high spirits but not of the poignance
which is the accompaniment; an in
splred feature of a film which is
not particularly inspired.
AZ Miss Young as Juliet, or Sally to
be precise about the name in this
case, and Mr.. Greene as Romeo or
Jack Dillon, struggle valiantly to
bring off the old story with a sense
OF freshness. His family of bankers
sees to it that her family of horse
breeders is driven to bankruptcy, but
the girl is too proud to be left alone
IN that situation. Accordingly. the
boy, deserting his banker pop, goes
over to her side and becomes the
trainer of the one horse which des-
tiny saves for her out of the debacle

Building Boom Is
Boost to Markets
Upon Scrap Mica

Raleigh, June 27.-A building
boom noticeable in almost every
section of the country has recently
impaired new life to the scrap mica
industry in Western North Carolina,
State Geoiogist H. j. Bryson, of the
minerals division, Department of
Conservation and Development, said
today.
Increased activity in building all
over the country has caused so
heavy a demand for scrap mica that
most of North Cardinals mica mines
are working full time now," said
Bryson. "This activity has extended,
of course, to the mica washing and
grinding plants
Scrap mica, he explained, is eX-
tensively used in manufacture of
roofing materials, especially between
layers of roofing and shingles, to
keep them from sticking together. 1t
is also used in making paints, wall
paper, automobile tires and many
other things
"a new mica grinding plant, to
be one of the largest in the state,
is now under construction at Plum
tree, in Avery county, while two
large, new recovery planers are also
being built-one in Yancey county,
near Cello, and the other in Ruther-
ford county, near Hollis. They
should materially increase the scrap
mica output in North Carolina; and
they will also offer a larger market
to the small mica operators for their
scrap mica
One of the biggest uses of mica is
as a filler for paints, Bryson said,
since ground mica When added to
paint, forms an overlapping surface
that will not crack
More than $4,000 worth of North
Carolina scrap mica was used in the
paint put on the buildings at the
New York Worlds Fair" Bryson
said. "This paint resists weathering
more than others and does not
crack"

Durham, June 27-"Survey" is a
familiar word in educational circles,
but few educators ever do the kind
of surveying that several dozen stu
dents in Duke university's new Col
lege of Engineering have been doing
for the last three weeks.
For eight hours a day the 81 young
engineers have carried transit, level,
tape and other instruments around
and between the two Duke campuseS
getting measurements on every Wis
ible landmark. Many a dweller on
unpaved streets near the university
has stopped to inquire whether his
sidewalk were now to be paved;
some have even mistaken the Duke
boys for WPAsters. - u4
Surveying is a required course in
schools of engineering. At Duke it
is offered during the summer, wnen
other classes do not interrupt full
days of instruction in the field.

Paris, June 27.-(AP)-The Duke

today on reports in London that they
