The Eye
Underground Trip
Is Novel Tour of
A Film Studio
BY the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLYWOOD.
Call 1t a nole's-eye view or .
subterranean survey, but "doin' the
underground" is a most novel way
of touring a movie studio.
Louis F. Hess, air conditioning en-
gineer at the elaborate Twentieth
Century-Fox plant, quotes statistics
and technical data galore as he
leads infrequent visitors through the
6-foot tunnels which feed water,
power, gas and air lines to the sound
stages.
The tunnels, one above the other
one carrying the power lines. the
other the water pipes-are lighted,
clean and dry. and they run on into
the distance Just as they do In the
interior of Boulder Dam.
This particular studio makes all
OF Sonia Henie's pictures. so it has
an ice-skating rink and 10000 gal.
Ions of brine which can be con-
verted into ice upon AZ hours
notice.
The studios underground system
includes refrigerator vaults for fiow-
ers and fruit used on sets. Its air
conditioning system saves q small
fortune annually in protecting the
health of high-priced players.
I'VE filter two tons of dust a year
out Of the air." says Hess.
I'm hot, humid weather we take
out as much as $4,000 gallons of
water day from the air This Is
distilled water, but distilled at such
low temperatures it is still full Of
bacteria.

There are new rides this season,

No Name Players Wanted

Unknown Faces Were Demanded

wrath OF any OF the other directors
on the Paramount lot for keeping
q favored player busy too long.
For when Schoedsack made "Dr.
Cyclops," the first premise upon
which he based selection of a
player was that his or her face
should not be . too familiar one.
Schoedsack wanted none of those
box ONCE names" upon whom the
cinema fans have looked oft and
sighed great sighs. In fact he came
right out and said he wanted players
whose faces would be no more
familiar to you than yours is to
Greta Garbo.
To many It seemed q rather daft
procedure in the making OF q film
not in the low-budget brackets to
begin with and with technicolor in
creasing its cost; especially daft to
those who measure the merit of a
film by "hoozinnit." But Schoed-
sack had his good reasons and even
can explain himself plausibly.
"Dr. Cyclops" is the story of a mad
scientist who discovers q way to
reduce human beings to one-sixth
their normal size and who reduces
several human beings thus, some
~hat to their discomfort. Ergo"
schoedsack reasoned, lapsing out Of
the Hollywood vernacular, It must
have unknown players If we wish
to create an illusion. Claudette COL
bert would still be Claudette Colbert
when reduced and all the fans would
know she was still Claudette COL
bert"
On the other hand Janice Logan
will be a poor girl reduced to one
sixth her size to all but members
of Chicago's society and her class
mates at New York's Sara Law
renee College. Thomas Coley will be
lad in similarly reduced circum-
stances. except to those who have
seen him on the stage In "Our Town
or "The Petrified Forest" And
Albert Decker, the mad scientist, will
be mad scientist because he never
has looked the same twice to film
fans anyhow.
Mr.. Schoedsack should know
about creating an illusion with
something like this. He's the fel-
low who had Fay Wray in that ter
rible predicament atop the Empire
State Building with King Kong
You can learn how well he has done
this time at the Capitol Friday.

Almost no exceptions, we said.
Players In Gerald Savory's light

Leroy Gaintner, Frances Green,
Gordon Gray, Cecilia Carney,
George Kay, Don Sisler and Nancy
Felman. Mr.. Sisler, the Dudley
Garth-Bander of the Civic produc-
ton, this time assumes, with the
added maturity Of these several in
tervening years. the part of Roger,
the lad who visits the Garth -Bander
household to battle and WOO its
daughter, a difficult role calling for
exceptional skill. Mr.. Sisler is a nice
guy 50 it would not be fair to hope
that Cecilia Carney throws a more
