Plumber Campaigns
For More Baths
In Film Scenes
BY the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD.
There aren't nearly enough baths
taken in the movies, complains Otto
Erbes. Directors don't like them.
Even when movie scripts call for
bathing scenes, many directors try
to sidestep the event by change
in story. However, baths do oc-
casionally have a way of breaking
into pictures, usually in punches.
And when they do, Otto is glad.
Otto is a studio plumbing special

"Of course, people in movie

once in a musical called Danes,
we had so really beautiful young
girls bathing at one time in go
tubs. They all wore bathing suits,
but no one could tell the differ
ence. Perhaps If fancy musicals
come back, the bath will come back
with them"
In South of Suez," George Brent
takes a bath by splashing around
in what purports to be the Thames
Riber, but Erbes' lips curl every
time he mentions it. That's ded-
nitely not the kind of movie bath
in which a plumber can take any
pride.
Erbes' idea of a fine screen bath
is the one Lii Damita took in The
Match King" 1t was an old-fash-
Toned European standing bath, with
small tub shielded from camera
view only by a portly maid.
Those were the good old days."

poets for the best race in recent
years are exceedingly bright. Heme
expects the cream of distance men
from the Eastern seaboard to match
speed and endurance with crack
local squad and hopes to have the
vanguard lined up early this week.
A course has been laid out in pic
turesque Rock Creek Park that is
designed to test the runners in every
department of the sport. 1t will be a
61a mile run over a three-lap course,
with both start and finish in front
of the clubhouse. Arrangements for
locker and shower facilities have
been made in the clubhouse, which
also is available for practice runs.
The route lies over turf and bride
paths and includes one water jump,
which probably means a good dous-
ing for less sprightly members of
the company. Spiked shoes may be
used and probably will be neces-
sary.
A trophy will be awarded the win
ing team, and the individual win
ner will be rewarded with gold
medal. The runner-up will receive a
silver medal, while the remaining
8 in the first 10 finishers will be
awarded bronze medals. Teams will
be limited to five men, the first
three finishing to count toward
the point score.
Entry fee is so cents, and post en-
tries positively will not be accepted.
The Washington A. A. team has
been training several weeks under
Helme's direction and is figuring on
keeping the championship trophy at
home.
