In a group of opinions released
today, the attorney general said
that such employees are not paid

He said that in order to be sub

local officers or employees must re
ceive federal pay for duties which
constitute the major part of their
jobs.
The ruling was made at the re-
quest of the highway commission.
A group of the opinions touched
on election laws. holding that ar
absentee ballot affidavit must be
signed before an officer having
an official seal, which must be at.

and chairmen of county elections

The attorney general also held
that:
Registration for military duty
does not automatically restore the
citizenship of a person who has
lost it because of conviction of a
felony.
Upon conviction of a defendant

judge should make an order dis.

BY ROBIN o

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. "a It's q
pity, considering Virginia Bruce's
looks. but you won't be seeing
much of her in her next movie.
It's THE Invisible Woman" and
that's Virginia.
She's a little piqued about it
not that she wants to be on the
screen all the time, but because
it's too easy"
John Fulton, the special effects
man who hitherto has specialized
in invisible men," does most of
the work for her when a double
in black tights isn't doing it. Vir-
ginia drew the line at the tights,
being very firm about it. They
cover the double from head to
foot end are essential for the trick
photography which aids in ''invis-
ibility."
The story is about a scientist
John Barryclcle) who has a Sc
rum which produces invisibility.
John Howard is the boy vino falls
in love with the vanishing lowell
ness. Where The ]: visible Man
pictures were horror or at least
macabre, this one is comedy-like
the Topper" pictures.
Virginia, as an invisible star,
can sit on the sidelines sewing
or reading or watching herself
act. In her completely invisible
state she is supposed to shed her
clothes to avoid detection and when
the invisible lady smokes a ciga-
rette or drinks a cocktail, they use
fine wires to support these ma
terial objects in natural" motions.
Virginia delivers her lines to a
separate mike" outside camera
range. Even on the set, Howard
and Barrymore look touched" as
they talk to a girl who isn't there
but is sitting on the %sidelines, talk
ing back to a mike"
When the character is invisible
but dressed, Virginia wears a
black velvet mask, long black leg
glngs and gloves. These are not
particularly uncomfortable except
she stands in front of a velvet
backdrop where moving one inch
either way would ruin the scene.
Fulton with his magic" removes
the backdrop and restores the real
background in his laboratory.
When Barrymore administers the
Serum" Virginia carries a
sponge in her hand, the needle to
be sunk in the sponge. Once Barry
more missed, and the water went
up her arm instead.
What Virginia really appreci-
ates about the role is the extra
half-hour's sleep she gets each
morning through absence of make
up worries.
Barrymore in makeup looks
exactly like Lionel. Between Elaine
and creditors, the Barrymore
schedule has been slightly irregu-
lar. But Johns humor isn't down
ed by any of it.
THE creditors are being very
agreeable" he discloses. Know
what happened? My tailors called
me when they read about my
troubles and told me not to O
about their bill. So you know
wno were the first to get some
thlng on account-and who'll make
life!"
Johns stock of anecdotes is still
unexhausted. He told me one about
the late Henry Miller, who once
undertook a screen test at Johns
urging. Miller saw the results and
groaned, Tive done everything

persons who have not previously been en-

that for 80 years I've been firing

a camera again.

So does high-diving." 3
