This also means location trips

lions, will all be made within
the confines Of the studio walls.
For the duration there will be
no scenes made near railroad
tunnels or bridges, since all tun-

armed guard along the Pacific
Coast because of the threat Of
sabotage.
There can be no air shots Of
any kind because of airplane re-

West Point Replica

Ten Gentlemen From West
Point" the Twentieth Century
Fox movie which was to have
been a history of the famed
academy, will be revised to the
teeth.
Naturally the academy CAM
puS is not available to a movie
company, and the original plan
was TO film the picture right
there. Now they'll have to re-
build a replica of West Point at
the studio.
Under no condition are chill

this, Of course, has necesSitated
a complete change in production

Lumber Scarce

There is not a studio that is
not suffering from a scarcity Of
lumber because the government
has first call; all metal belongs
exclusively to Uncle Sam.
Building materials are as
scarce as hens teeth-so you
will be seeing old sets as far
as possible, which will be dis
guised and redressed many times
in the fond hope that the public
will not recognize them.
Any shot of a manufacturing
plant is forbidden. And last, but

George Hite of New York. A single
miniature in wax, portrays Col.
John Roane of Virginia, done by
George Miller, lifelike in its colors
and detailed modelling.
There is also group of silhou-
cites, mostly hollow-cut. Some of
them are embellished with pen and
ink and pencil drawing and white
shading. The most interesting rs
that of Col. Henry Sherborne, cut
by William Bache, an English artist
who came to Philadelphia to join his
relative, Richard Bache, who mar
ried Benjamin Franklins daughter
Sally.
The fans occupy five cases, and
belong to several categories. The
making OF fine carved and painted
fans stopped with the French revo-
luton, for it was a luxury trade
supported by the court aristocrats.
Such fans were replaced by cheap
prints mounted on coarse bone
sticks. One of this group shown is
decorated with a reproduction of
asslgnats paper money issued by
| the republic).
When formal ceremonies were re-
vlved at Napoleon's court, dress fans
returned, but were gaudy decora-
tlons rather than examples of superb
workmanship. The typical empire
fan had short sticks and a deep leaf
often silk, decorated with gold and
silver spangles. One shown, be-
longed to the daughter of an officer
on Washington's staff she used it
at ball In honor of Lafayette.
Other early 10Th century fans are
of pierced horn, one with painted
roses; and examples from the ORR
ent, exquisitely carved of sandal
wood, bone and ivory. A particu-
larly exquisite Chinese fan is carved
in squirrel pattern, with the own
er's monogram.
This exhibition of fans and min
iature portraits is unpreientious and
modest in character, but captivating
and we'll worth seeing 1t is open to
the public from $50 to 4, Monday

week at the Office of Russian War

the benefit of the Rush -Aid-to-

arranged by Edward Rowan, assist
ant chief Of the Section of Fine
Arts.
Between 80 and 40 posters are on
view (some the work of several art
ists) to the end of this month, and
the majority are inspirational calls
to arms. Several follow the con-
vention of showing contemporary
soldiers in the foreground, while
the shadowy figures. of their fore
