UNNAMED" SHOWS A
BLIZZARD IN COLOR
First Motion Picture OF
Kind Opens Monday
At The Maryland

Motion picture billiards have
come and gone, from the early ST.
lent films to the highly technical
sound creations of the present era,
but Paramount is reported to have
engineered a blizzard that tops all
billiards the first ever to be
filmed in technicOlor = for it's dra-
matte epic of the North woods,
"Untamed," which opens Monday
at the Maryland Theatre, and has
for it's co-stars Ray Midland, Patri-
cha Morrison and Akin Tamiroff.
Accurate reproductions of cat
aclyms Of nature, whether they be
storms, earthquakes, hurricanes,
typhoons, tidal waves or bowling
billiards., have always presented
monumental problems to motion
picture producers, both from the
artistic as well as the mechanical
angles, even when filmed in
black-and-white. But to realistically
record a blizzard in TechnicOlor
meant problems compounded.
In preparing for the blizzard in
"Untamed," the art department
had to reconstructed the studio
an entire village, complete with
trees, bushes, buildings and rocks
so as to have an absolute replica
of the Big Bear Lake location site
where the summer scenes were
shot. Flora had to be studied to
determine what leaves fall in win
ter, to maintain the Illusion that
the location was the same.
The snow machines ground all
night to spray 120 tons of pulver-
lied ice over the set to the deph of
from four to ten feet. The grips"
had to be trained in sitting flaked
turnips from slotted racks near the
roof, to simulate falling snow. Qn

BIG THINGS DONE
MAKING PICTURES
Director Creates a Noun
tain for "NorthweSt
Mounted Police"

Talking about bringing the noun
tain to Paramount - Cecil B. De
Mile did exactly that.
De Mile is shooting one of the
key sequences for his Technicolor
thriller, Northwest Mounted Pc
lice right on the Paramount lot,
and he has moved in not only a
mountain but an entire forest as
well.
The set takes up a quarter Of the
lot. De Mile moved in hundreds
Of tons Of earth for his hills, and
sent out for 500 honest-to-goodness
pine and cedar trees. They were
brought in nearly 100 miles from
the San Jacinto Forest and re
planted on the set.
1t sounds rather over-ambitiOus
till you consult with the business
managers at the Studio, who can
show you in black-and-white that
it costs somewhat less than half as
much to bring in the mountains
and forests than to transport over
a thousand actors and technicians
not to speak of lights and camera
equipment to the mountains and
to keep them there for a week or
more.
They can do the Earl Carroll
picture at the Earl Carroll restaur-
ant less extensively because it's
only a few blocks away from the
studio. The picture has not yet
been completed.

practice, the display room will be
lighted with combination of
fluorescent and incondescent equip
ment. This lighting will demon
strate the attractiveness of this
new fluorescent light source and at
the same time provide ample guam
titles Of light with the aid Of the
incandescent lamps.
Provisions are being made for
air-conditioning the entire building
thus insuring the comfort Of the
public and Of the employees Of the
company.
The district bookkeeping, collect
ing and meter-reading departments
viii be located in the front of the
second floor Of the building. Also
on this floor will be the Home Ser
vice Department, including an cleo

space for the seating Of an audi
ence Of over so persons attending
cooking schools or other functions
conducted by The Potomac Edison
Co.
The basement of the remodeled
building will be devoted to the Ser
vice Department and the fact that
it will be on a level with a parking
lot for the company's automobiles
in the back of the building, it will
enable this department to respond
TO calls even more quickly than in
the past.
In its new and modern home at

tomac Edison Company will be
happy to welcome friends and
hopes to be able to serve it's patrons
in more pleasing surroundings
after September !.

Silver Lining

While Secretary Hopkins, aSSur-
ance that British interests will soon
return to the American market as Il
purchaser OF flue-cured tobacco IS
highly pleasing. it is by no means a
guarantee. Commerce Department
experts abroad report this as an
eventuality, but it does not amount
to a removal OF the embargo, and
cannot be relied on too heavily in
the face of the swiftly changing pic
lure as Britain strains every nerve
% win the war.
The situation never appeared to
Us as black as some have painted
/. Not that it would be any less so
than they have feared il conditions
Ultimately developed in the light OF
recent trends. but there has always
Geen the factor, too lightly passed
over. OF popular taste and craving
ior the quality leaf grown only in
this section and obtainable nowhere
else.
Even if British manufacturers did
have two and half years supply
on hand. that is only a normal
reserve, and if it has been con-
Sidered essential heretofore, there is
no reason why it should not con-
tinue to be so.
The Hopkins statement is not
sufficient ground for assuming the
crisis is past: far from it: but it can
be the basis for a measure Of
optimism in contrast to the gloom
that has settled upon flue-cured
territories.
1t may not be amiss 10 reterate
now a view expressed before in this
column that this is no time for
panic. but rather for a calm. sober
approach to the problem. Such an
attitude may help much: it cam
not do any harm.

candidate OF their choice for any
office. within proper bounds
there will be no further solicitation
among the patrol or any other en-
ployees." The promise OF the COVER
nor can be taken in good faith and
ut face value. He means what he
saws and will see to it that the
principle thus laid down will be
adhered to. He has the power, and
we believe the determination, TO
guarantee 1t.
State employees will welcome
Governor Hoey'S statement Most OF
the rank and file are none too we'll
paid anyhow, and will be happy to
be free from suggestions or coercion
m behalf OF any candidate.
Donations to the Maxwell cam
paign chest, especially at the be-
hest Of their immediate superior,
could easily have been interpreted
by patrolmen as Job insurance,
and might be such, even on a volun-
tary basis. But the ranks Of State
employees is no place for such
activities.
The function Of Sta-e workers is
to discharge to the best OF their
ability the duties for which they are
paid, and not to work for the per-
petuation in office of any particular
official. They are not supported by
taxpayers, whose money they use,
for such d purpose. There is little
doubt, however, but that The abuse
is rampant in Federal, State and
local governments. a Hatch law Is
needed for the states as well as Tor
the Federal government, and ought

Jim Ought To Know

II Chairman Jim Farley told
President Roosevelt that he was
strongly against u third term, and
if the President assured him he
would not be Il candidate, jim
ought to know what is in the Prcsi-
dents mind.
The genial postmaster general
and Democratic national chairman
has entered his name in the MaSSa-
chusettS primary, and severa: inter-
pretallonS CAN be placed on that
move. 1t could mean that he has
Lied tie President, indicating d
.reak or at least cooling Of their
-ordia! relations. 1t could mean that
c has acted with the Presidents
tossing, ana with the assurance
which the New York World-Teit'
gram says he has received. 1t could
also mean that Farley, though
.cslrOuS Of being chief executive,
ieSpairS OF success as the head Of
he party ticket, and hopes to get
On Tor vice-rreSidcnt with an old
man like Vice-President Garner or
Secretary Hull, in the thought that
neither would last out his term,
more likely not two terms, thus
bringing him into top position
through sort of back stage en-
trance.
Another angle, though less like
V. it seems to us, than either Of the
theirs, may be that Farley is hunt
ng fer Il block Of delegates 10 be
tossed to the President al The proper
time after balloting is begun at the
national convention.
Like his chief, Farley is saying
nothing and the spectators are
having jolly good time with their
guessing.
Much of the anti-third term talk
nay be inspired more by nope than
by fact. Certainly Mr.. Roosevelt
cannot himself be counted. out as
yet. He is shrewd and tricky, and
may be remaining quiet because Of
ONE form of strategy he expects TO
play when he thinks the time is ripe
for it,
Right now there is little on
which to base d prediction that the
President will step aside and Let the
nominating convention act on its
own judgment, unless it is favorable
to him. Ii would seem, rather, that
he desires another nomination for
himself Or at least wishes to dictate
his successor. And he has vast
power at his disposal for use in
thwarting the ambitions Of any man
who does not go along with him.

Something For Nothing

Often one hears tie saying that
you can't get something for nothing,
or that things that do not cost are
not worth having. Well. that applies
no longer. Something new under the
sun has been discovered.
The Carolina Power & Light
Company has Just increased by half
the wattage OF bulbs in the Garnett
street white way system and in the
center suspension lights in resi-
dental sections OF town. The change
is made entirely at the expense OF
the power company and with no
cost whatever to the city. either for
the labor. the material or for the
additional current consumption.
What it amounts to is a reduction
in rates, though in the form Of more
light rather than an actual cut in
charges.
Garnett street at night. already
we'll Illuminated. now has an
appearance mUch more like the
light Of day We now really have a
white way. and it is truly white
with light
The move is at the same time a
gesture OF good will on the part of
the power company and an adver-
tiSement for the city that ought to
yield dividends in many ways. 1t
cannot but create a volable I'M
preston on the thousands of tourists
who are constantly passing through
the city on the national highway
which threads through the heart Of
town.
We make our best manners to the
power company for their pro-
gressive move ana extend con-
gratulationS to the City Council for
going along with the company in
bringing about this highly welcome
change.

Invasion of Holland
Cuts Supply of Tulips

Flower growers of South Africa
have been hit by German occupa-
ton to Holland, it is reported at
Capetown. Tulip and hyacinth
bulbs are no longer obtainable.
Scientific skill applied to storing
tulips from Holland produced a
successful crop last year. Gladiolus
crops are not affected Recently
growers started importing sladiolus
bulbs from japan.
