It's all trlcked up with real marSn

But the script calls for a lot of
that low-lying fog, filtering among
the reeds. that you're supposed to
find in bogs. They make this by
blowing mineral oil over dry ice from
a spray gun. BY changing the tenn
perature of the spray, they can
make the fog hug the ground, rise
to the ceiling, or spread out in a
thin strip at any height you want.
But the oil spray gradually per-

been on the set an hour or two you

Well, Flynn, Reagan and company

All these qualities of Durante, the
man and the act, became apparent
yesterday afternoon at the Variety
Club. There was a press session at
which he was guest, Carter Barron

late, came Durante.

wanted to know.
There was a piano around.
Bring it over" said Mr.. Durante.
who, when 1t was brought over, pro-
ceeded to run through a repertory
of songs that would amaze you.
There was, for example. the num-
ber about the Esquire well-dressed

After it was over the headliner of

was in a mood for talk.
And such talk! Full of mockery.
Especially for Durante.
"Hecklers. he said, II don't mind
hecklers. If they can take over
the act, so much the better. If they
pretend to know the act in the
first show. we change it in the sec
ond. If they still appear to know
1t. we change it in the third"
Mr.. Durante is an old hand at
changing acts, a fellow who has
been around too long to be dis
concerted by the mere fact that the
youngsters in the front row may
have stayed through two or more
performances.
Play along with them, Is his
idea.
In such a case, they might even
do the act for you.
Durante. who is now q Warner
Bros. player, is learning to like
Hollywood if only in a vicarious
way.
"I don't" he says, soto vcce,
'but my wife does. 1 suppose it is
because I think of the East as
home. She does not. She thinks of
tho climate and the ease of living
, out there. She may be right.
I'm beginning to like it, too"
Durante, under contract to return
to Hollywood in May, has a great
respect for pictures. 1t is not that
he thinks directors of the same are
the great geniuses of show business,
but rather that he does not think
actors are either.

On q days notice they could call
out 500 men trained in all sorts
of military maneuvers. But during
the past couple of years the problem
has grown gradually tougher. The

take the extras sent out by central
casting and drill them in whatever
is necessary for the films action.

sauce and L teaspoon sugar.

Serve Immediately. Serves 4.
This dish makes a delicious Sun

And this is a tip from Nine.
Deson SEE, daughter-in-law of DR.,
and Mrs. Alfred SEE, who, like all
Chinese women, enjoys cooking.
She tells us that when baking
fowl of any kind-guinea hen,
chicken, duck or turkey, nothing
gives a better favor than to rub
Soybean sauce over the fowl before
putting it in the oven. Not only
outside, but inside. Also, the sauce
gives wonderful brown color
Several of Nine Sees American
friends have tried this and as a
result issued an order to their
cooks never to omit the soy sauce
touch.
