HOLLYWOOD.
Stories about shoestring movie
producers, always delight to tell
because they test the credulty Of
the listener, are rare these days.
There are hardly any more shoe
stringers. production costs being so
high and difficulties Of release being
what they are.
But Irving Applebaum-herein-
after called Apples" which is the
handy nickname Hollywood has
given him-provides the exception.
To start at the beginning, We open
up on Apples" sitting alone on the
lawn Of the home of his friend,
Carl IAemmle, jr. with several
worries chasing each other around
his nimble mind and with several
dimes lonesomely resting in a pocket.
Apples" was a film cutter when
young Laemmle was making movies,
which was when the late Uncle Carl
Laemmle owned Universal. Like his
friend, young Laemmle; Apples" Is
in his late 20s. ..s
For some reason not important to
this account, Apples" Is not work
ing at his trade; regularly and here

Mary's major task in Hollywood
has been to learn not to be Southern
and to learn a whole lot more about
acting. Her daily schedule is not
one the bellies of Birmingham. who
probably envy the glamorous life
of a motion picture actress, would
envy.
It's No Place Like Home.
She lives at the Studio Club with
her roommate, Norma Lindbloor1,
radio script girl She's up daily at
am. in order to be at the studio,
made up and dressed, by o'clock.
If she has an afternoon OF, she
rehearses parts and limbers up on
dialogue with the dramatic coach.
She leaves the studio at in the
evening, has a hurried dinner, then
reports to the Max Reinhardt Dra-
matte School at $50. She works
there until 1::30 am, acting In and
fehearsing parts for four plays at
the. same time
If she has dates, she has them
Sunday afternoon. Hollywood, little
Mary Anderson has discovered, Is
not half so gay for her as Birm-
ingham.
Mary attended high school and
Howard College in Birmingham, like
Gail Patrick. She made her first
appearance, on any stage as q flower
in "A Secret Garden" at the age Of
4. Her theatrical experience con-
sisted solely of high school plays.
She grew up under the super

HOLLYWOOD


Twice a day the pretty girl from
Birmingham recites, among other
things, this verse:
when ere I spoke sarcastic joke,
Replete with malice spiteful,
These people mild politely smiled
And voted me delightful"
That sounds easy, but it is very
difficult piece for Miss Mary Ander-
son. It's very difficult for any per-
son born and reared below the
Mason-D Dixon line to get those 'i'
and 20" sounds to the satisfaction
Of a Hollywood dramatic coach. But
Mary purses her lovely mouth, works
hard and tries again and again.
It was harder and funnier when
she tried out for part under Kurt
Bernhardt, the German director who
recently begun his American career
at Warner. Bros. The Warmers
aren't sure whether Mary was
acquiring German accent or Mr.
Bernhardt was learning a Southern
drawl.
Her Story Is Unusual.
Mary is rapidly conquering the
troublesome matter of accent. II
bothered her for long time. She
had been brought to Hollywood be-
cause she was Southern and could
speak the native lingo authenticity
And then they tried to teach hei
Yankee talk.
Mary's story is little unusual

BILLINGS Convinced that there
is commercial production in the
Broadview dome in one or more
levels, Nelson Story Hogan has ac-
uuired 4,640 acres of leases from
Devonian Oil & Gas company, on
the Broadview Dome-Big COulee
structure, in a block designated as
the Schroeder Block. and has made
location on the SWA of Section IA.
Township 3N. Range % East, in
Yellowstone County, about rs miles
north west of Billings, and about
six miles southeast of the Broad
view dome test well, now standing
idle at 5129 feet. This location is
about three miles north east of the
Rice-Fulton test, drilled to $500
feet some years ago. It is however
located on the north side of the
Huntly-Gibson Fault zone, while the
Rice-Fulton test was located about
the center of the six miles wide
fault zone, and was abandoned
when production was not found in
the DakOta-Lakota, correlating with
the producing level of Big Lake,
some ten miles southwest.
Structurally the Hogan location

OF any value locally lies in using
or being able to pass small
enough volume OF acid over the
magnesium in a sufficient time for
the reaction to take place under
pressure. Under existing conditions
an anology can be drawn between
a beaker with a sample OF mag.
nesim and acid. and the bottom
hole OF the well. II the Beaker
leaks and more acid has to be added
more heat is distributed In the fluid
and carried away without a local
temperature increase. Under these
conditions for a well treatment an
attempt is being made to do the
opposite OF the usual procedure and
trust that none or very little fluid
will penetrate the formation. This
is very hard to accomplish and II
is thought that the few results OBJ
tanned by this method are due TO
a small shot of strong acid enlarg-
Ing the channels near the bore of
the well and allowing emulsion
formed by proceeding stage treat
ments of plain acid TO be elected
by the formation pressure allowing
more oil to flow.
Prevent EmulsiOns
1t is an established fact that
more speed in rate of reaction is
not required. Heat does not increase
the efficiency as regards volume Of
limestone consumed: the ultimate
neutrality is reached in either case
Heat does not prevent the formation
Of the stable acid-oil emulsions nor
does it break them after being
formed
1t is logical then to assume, and
proven cases show, that chemical
means OF preventing these emul-
sions give better and more oil with
out the said heat This is more
logical when it is remembered that
a well treatment of 1000 gal. OF
acid in stages can have this total
made non-emulsifying in
character and takes effect to the
point of penetration. There
Is a greater chance for more and
better quality oil under these con-
ditions than by a small treatment
that may only enlarge the channels
near the bore of the well and still
ton that may never be removed.
The tendency during the past
two years has been to slow up the
rate of reaction between limestone
and acid. This is accomplished by
both chemical means and by tech
lique in acid introduction into the
well. II rs logical to reason that |
greater penetration can be obtain |
I'd by these methods before the ac
ID is spent and, in fact, with a
quick removal some reaction might
be obtained on the way out. This
after effect would seem most de-
Iirable from the viewpoint OF re-
moving insoluble material and emul-
iions. If emulsions can be pre-
rented from forming, bringing up /
he question of heat again seems
o be totally inconsistent with re-
'ults of research and also actual
findings in field operations.
