HARRISON IN HOLLYWOOD
An-Seeing Camera Will Produce Unusual Effects In Orson WelIeS' Citizen Kane"
BY PAUL HARRISON TEA Service Staff Correspondent

NEA SerV1Ce StaII COEreSPOHuChU
 HolIywood-An all-seeing camera is working for Orson Welles in the filming of Citizen Kane" Nearly every shot is a special problem for Greg Toland, the boss c1nemato- grapher, and some of them are ike iy to look downright spooky.
 Most Hollywood sets have only two or three walls and no ceiling. Most of Welles' sets have ceiling and four walls. The camera comes III a door, or maybe a window, and moves about the room on 20-foot boom. or crane.
 In one scene, for instance, the ca- mera projects clear through the d1n- ing room of house and into the living room. The lens picks up a boy playing in the snow outside, then it turns to pick up three ac- tors inside. When the people move from one room to another,c the ca mera follows them all the way. All this requires smooth work to keep furniture and people out of the way of the camera boom.
 PLENTY
 OF MISHAPS
 Welles likes long, smooth scenes uninterrupted by the closeups ana angle shots of accepted movie tech- niuue. He'll rehearse his players and crew for hours before using a foot of film, and visitor gets the idea that production is going very slowly. Truth is it's progressing rapidly.
 Lots of things can go wrong, of course. I watched a long series Of mishaps on the scene previously de- scribed. Between each take thered be a long wait while Workmen smoothed the snow in the yard out side and prepared to pour huge bags of fresh flakes (corn flakeS) into the wind machines. Finally everything seemed to be moving smoothly. Welles, on the sldehneS, was going through a prayerful pam tomime. The complicated scene was almost completed-and one ot the actors gargled word in his dlalog.
 "Cut!" moaned the young dlrec- tor-producer-au r-author-St we got the lights right, the props right, the sound right, the action right-and now this frog gets man ln ms throat!"
 "Citizen Kane" is the story of man told in five verSionS-through the views and experiences of people who knew him. The introduction of one of these chapters, Welles eX- n1ains is a page from a diary. In- diyidually, as the eye would see them, the words appear, and one ot these is boy"
 NET EFFECT
 SMOOTH
 Immediately the letters dissolve into a rebus-like picture of the boy himself, a small figure on the white margin of the page. The picture becomes larger; the white back ground is seen as a snowbank, with the kid playing there. The camera has been watching him through an open window. His mother had rals- ed the window to call to him; now she closes it as the camera draws back to show her, the living room and the two men.
 All this sounds pretty tricky, and it ic. But the effect, seen on the screen, is amazingly smooth. l don't know whether Citizen Kane" will be a box-office smash, but do believe that the Upstart Orson Welles is contributing some import ant ideas to the conventional mo- vieS.

Olivia Man,59,
Dies After
Crash
YOUNG FAMILY OF A
INJURED; SIvERT
KOLBERG ARRESTED

A charge of manslaughter
has been placed against Siv-
ert Kolberg, AZ, on complaint
of Redwood Falls state high
way patrolmen who investi-
gated the accident in which
Kolberg's companion, Adolph
Skucius, SO, of Olivia, receiv-
ed fatal injuries Sunday eve
ming.
Skucius sustained a deep
cash just below the eyes
when the hood of the Kolberg
car plunged through the wind
shield and struck him. His skull
was severely fractured and he
died Monday night at Rice Men,
orial hospital, Willmar.
Hearing Next Week
Hearing on the manslaughter
count will be held next week at
Olivia.
The accident occurred at 7:20,
one-half mile east of Olivia on
highway 212, according to the re-
port of patrolmen called to the
scene after the tragedy.
Ed Kadlec, IS, farmer living
five miles northeast of Olivia, was
driving west accompanied by Mrs.
Kadlec, 81, and their children,
Janet, 4 and James, one-year-old.
The Kadlec car and the ma
chine in which the two men were
travelling collided head-on.
Baby Badly Hurt
Suffering a skull fracture, the
Kadlec baby is given only a $3.50
chance to live. Mrs. Kadlec re-
ceived an eye injury and body
bruises; Mr.. Kadlec sustained a
chin laceration and bruises and
Janet was cut and scratched.
A laceration of Kolberg's knee
required II stitches and the mid
die finger of his right hand was
nearly severed.
State highway patrolmen ar
rested Kolberg after the accident
and lodged him in the Renvil1e
county Jail, awaiting the outcome
of Skucious' injuries. If he had
lived, Kolberg would have been
charged with drunken driving,
they said.

working together on an elevator
under construction at Bird Island.
kolberg's home is at Pelican Rap
ids, he is married and the father
of two young boys.

Everything's Changed But the Depot Stove
Since w. S. Brdmmer Became Agent in ~

A chapter of Redwood Falls
history closed Wednesday when
William S. Brammer, agent at the
Chicago and North Western de-
pot here since 1897, voluntarily
retired from active service.
He hasn't started his vacation
yet, however, since a new man
has not been assigned to the post:
Il think I'll stay right here in
Redwood Falls. I'm satisfied"
was his outline of future plans.
He has been working at one place
as long as any agent in the serv-
ice.
Appearing happy at the pros
pect Of leisure, Mr.. Brammer re-
called great days when the sta
ton was the center of city inter
est, the source of its news, vital
part of its daily life.
There were two trains day
and a passenger train on Sunday
and an average of 40 persons rode
in the two coaches daily before
the advent of the automobile, he
estimates. Those were the days
of huge grain and livestock load
ings-before the Marshall and
Evan or Vesta lines were built.
Special trains were run
fairly often then-t0 New
Ulm for a ball game, to Man
kato for a school affair or to
Sleepy Eye for a Billy Sum
day meeting.
Starting in Winona as a rail-
road clerk, Mr.. Brammer was
agent at GAINESVILLE, then replaced
Lee Beecher as chief of the sta
ton here. In the years that fol-
lowed, he has had opportunities
for similar work in other-and
larger-towns, but never accept
ed the offers.
Redwood Falls had plank side
walks when he came here, he re-
calls, Mckay and Race were run
ming grocery store; Fred
Thompson was in the hardware
business at the site of the Red
wood Grocery and the two big
department stores were Phil
bricks and Francois and Schmahl.
These have passed and the city
has changed-but the same kind
of rusty, soft-coal burning depot
stove that was here when he ar
rived still heats the station office.

PARENTS BANQUET
]. o. CHRISIANSON is
SPEAKER AT ANNUAL
CLEMENTS EVENT

The second annual parents BAN
quet of the Clements Crusaders
All club drew 200 persons to the
Clements hall Tuesday evening.
Ingenuity of plans, carefully
carried cut, made the event an
outstanding success.
A club project, "Corn," was the
theme of this years dinner and
program at which Crusaders par
ents were honored. Tiny pieces
of corn-cob formed the candle
holders at each plate and there
were little green tapers in them.
In green and white, decorations
included a latticed ceiling from
which hung green balloons bear
ing the white All emblem.
Mrs. j. L. Slaymaker headed
the arrangement committee which
planned an elaborate four-course
dinner.
Principal speaker at the affair
was ]. o. Christensen. head of
the University of Minnesota's
agricultural department, who will
address graduating seniors at
Redwood Falls High school May
81.
Rev. Gillin of Clements said the
invocation; Wesley Slaymaker in
troduced the toastmistress, Ethel
Lindeman and Fay Jensen, CRU
saders president expressed club
members welcome to their moth
ers and fathers. Mrs. William
Berg responded.
There were vocal solos by Pat
ricia O'Callaghan and Hills Stay
maker and appreciative talks,
sour Mons" and "Our Dads"
were given by Ards Hemming-
sen and Harold Ryan.

william Jennings Bryan
stepped off the train at the
station for a speech in Chat
auqua, he recalls, and there
was often some drama inv0l-
we'd in the travels of passen-
gers over the rs miles of the
branch to and from Sleepy
Eye, through Morgan and
Gilfillan.
Crowds gathered at the depot
for news before the invention OF
the radio and special excitement
reigned there when the telegraph
tapped out election returns.

Brammer always had a helper
