Ocean Wave Named
For Orleans Cap

For Louisionu Derby
By the Associated Press.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 15.-Trainer
Ben Jones, IN last-minute change
Of plans, has nominated Warren
Wright's 3-year-old Ocean Wave
for the $25 900 New Orleans Handi-
cap to be decided February 27, but
right now the colt remains a more
likely starter In the SIS 900 Louisi-
ana Derby March 6.
Jones had not intended nominat-
ing the Wave for the handicap as
late as the final race Saturday, say
ing he did not relish running his
Kentucky Derby entry against older
horses.
Whether or not Ocean Wave tries
to fill the resting shoes of the older
Whirlaway in the handicap, the colt
is a strong choice over rival 3-year-
olds in the Derby here. He was an
easy winner Saturday over horses
his age.
.Disquieting rumors popped up over
the week end concerning two OF the
stronger candidates for the cap
Harold Clark's Riverland and the

time in his first race, so with a few
more races against good competition

a good chance of hanging up a new

Short this week will hike a shorter
distance in the Buermeyer 500, a

He's the Fellow
Who Can Make
Like a Door
By the Associated Press.


HOLLYWOOD.
A walking library of sound effects
Is Count Cuteln, capable of making
more than 1000 different sounds
ranging through those of the animal
kindom, the field of nature and end
less noises made by man and ma
chinery.
This human wonder is under con-
tract to Leon Schlesinger, maker OF
animated cartoons.
Cutelli says his talent is a gift OF
nature, and thinks he is the only
human who can sing in four differ
ent keys at once. AS a young fell
low, he used his peculiar talents tC
entertain soldiers in World War I
With the coming of sound to cellu-
loid, he became interested in de-
veloping this gift. He became the
squeak of q door in a horror mys-
terry, a laughing hyena or q screech-
ing monkey, crying baby or even
the boom of dynamite or the roar
of a hurricane.
All this Is done without props
entirely with Cutelis throat. 1t is
not surprising that with this ability
to make sounds, CutelH also has an
unusual auditory sense. He claims
to be able to hear termites at work
One annoyance of Cutelli's is
hearing sound effects made by him
being used for propaganda purposes
over radio Berlin. Prior to the war
he equipped 10 European radio sta
tons with library of sound effects
He hopes that some day when he
hears a loud dynamite explosion
coming from radio Berlin, it won't
be Cutelli's sound effect, but the
real thing.
