Went Away" so that the Hill
tons are not just so many more
strange people and their home
just another house. They have
created feeling that you know
this family intimately, that you
have been many times in their
home and that you consider
them your close friends.
The average American family
will see itself, its trials and
struggles, its heartaches and its
merriment, all portrayed by the
Hilton family. Just as surely as
Rhett Butler and Scarlet
OHara and the great plantation
of Tara in Selznick's illustrious
predecessor, Gone With the
Wind" typify the Civil War to
motion picture fans, so will the
Hiltons and the Hilton home
come to typify life on the home
front during this second World
War.
In the seven-star cast, besides
the three Hiltons and Tony, are
Monty Woolley as a gruff but
thoroughly ingratiating paying
guest when finances get tough,
Lionel Barrymore as the fam
ily's friend as well as minister.
and Robert Walker as the older
Hilton girls soldier sweetheart.

it was initiated on the Goth Cen
tury-Fox lot for filming night
and day street scenes in Green

Constructed to conform with
wartime restrictions on strate-
gic materials, the new magic
"stage" is fabricated wholly of
a skeleton steel framework, COW
cred with tarpaulin. 1t encom-
passes an area of 112, 500 square
feet-approximately five times
as great as Hollywood's largest
conventional stage. In 80 min
uteS, its enormous stretches of
tarpaulin-totaling $4,000 in
cost-can be stripped from top
and all sides to provide outdoor
daylight, or completely drawn
into place to simulate night
during daytime. Thus, at all
times, weather within is under
control, for on rainy or OBJ
scurely lighted days or nights,
lamps may be employed to
simulate brig ht sunlight or
darkness regardless of exterior
or conditions.
Two vast sections of city
streets are enclosed in the new
stage. One ranges
from an English village to city
the other is typical
American business section. To-
gether they cover an area ap-
proximately $50 by $50 feet.

Hale Invents Seats
For Comfort

Alan Hale, currently to be
seen in Warner Bros comedy
hit, JAMIE" coming soon to
Toledo, is the first actor to do
something bout making il
easier for movie fans to sit still
while watching him act.
I'm a movie fan myself the
big man says, "and I despise
bobbing up and down and hav-
ing my feet trampled on"
J So he invented theater seat
which, he says, affords lots
more room than the usual seat
and gives the moviegoer a
chance to relax in comfort and
concentrate on the picture.
"Self-protection," he explains.
II want to keep 'em as happy
as possible so they won't get
tired of looking at Hale"
The Hale theatre seat, we'll
known now to the theatrical
trade and already installed in
many theatres, has not only
been profitable to Alan Hale but
has brought him a thousand
laughs. Hale became known as
an inventor. He branched out
with other items, put fire ex-
tinguisher on the market and
promoted a new kind of a door
lock.
All have turned out to be
sound investments.
The actor has three perpetual
motion machines in his dressing
room on the Warner lot. One
is supposed to operate by water
power, one by stored-up sun
light, the other by picking up
power from radio broadcast
stations.
The machines are perpetually

Hale explains, need just a little
more capital to make their no.

Ohio Experiments
With Fish Ladder

COLUMBUS Chief Paul
Runkle of the Division of Con-
servation Engineering Section
announce the completion of a
da mat Batavia of the concrete
O-G type spillway, with two 10
foot removable plank sections
and a three foot fish ladder in
the center of the dam, creating
about one mile of fishing water.
The most interesting feature is
the experimental fish ladder,
the workings of which will be
watched with more than local
interest. To date no very salts
factory type of ladder has been
devised.

Fish Management
Keeps Busy

COLUMBUS-Efforts of the
Fish Management Section of the
Ohio Division of Conservation
were largely directed during
August to problems of aquatic
vegetation, planting some areas
and removing excess growth
from others. Fish were saIvaged
from various streams and pools
to meet the situation caused by
severe drought, with such ac-
tivities being aided greatly by
volunteer assistance by local
sports club members. At the
fish farms all efforts have been
devoted to rearing young fish
for the Fall public stream stock
ing program which will begin
late this month.

epitomized Victorian Eng
lands upper middle-class, and
Mazo de la Roche's romantic
Jalna family which gave us the
tremendous scope of ranch life
in Canada.
All three of these families and
many more have been immortal
lied in both fiction and films,
but none will be better loved
than the Hilton family which
has just been introduced to
eager fans in David 0. Selz-
nick's "Since You Went Away" "
now showing in Loew's Valen-
tine Theatre.
In this tender heart-warming
saga of the home front, Selznick
has concentrated his talent for
character building not so much
upon one individual, as upon a
family group, the delightful Hill
tons who live somewhere in our
middle west.
Anne Hilton the courageous
mother, is portrayed by Clau-
dette Colbert, and her two teen
age daugters are played by Jen-
infer Jones and Shirley Temple.
The father, who has waived his
3-A draft status to enlist for
the army overseas, exists only
in their memory.
For this very reason Anne
Hilton strives earnestly to keep
that memory alive in the minds
of her daughters. Tony, who was
best man at the Hiltons' we'd
ding, is dashing, romantic, and
while still in love with Anne,
is as loyal to her absent, fight
ing husband as she is. Joseph
Gotten, as Tony, gives this role
the best performance in his
spectacular career.
Producer Selznick and Di-
rector John Cromwell took ex-
traordinary pains with each
minute detail of "Since You

Local Gamers Make
Extensive Improve
ments For Crops

The Silver Canning Co., of Colora,
are busy adding new and larger

ing new cooling canal with an over
head automatic conveyor system,
having twice the capacity of their
former installation. This should pro-

have installed new automatic can
conveyor to their vacuum line and re-
piped their brine tanks throughout.
In addition to the above extensive

League Of Mary
land SpOrtsmen

Emphasizing the necessity for
sound management and sane utiliza-
ton of Maryland's renewable natIr-
al resources, Glenn L. Martin, pion-
eer aircraft manufacturer and Pres
ident of the League of Maryland
Sportsmen, sounded the theme for
the Leagues Second Annual Meeting
held this year in historic Carvel Hal,
Annapolis, the States Capital City.
1.-The sportsmen of Maryland and
the District of Columbia are today
showing concern for the natural-re-
source future of the State" declared
Martin in opening the meeting. This
is as it should be, for theirs is the
task of wisely protecting the supply
of fish and game that recreational
angling and hunting will long live
and flourish in Maryland. No other
group of citizens is more inherently
interested in curtailing pollution,
curbing erosion, curing poor land
practices and providing Maryland
with an abundance of outdoor recre-
alton than are the sportsmen. United
into a strong League. their ability
to function increases economically. :"
Early action on the procurement
by purchase or easement of excessive
Army and Navy bay-shore holdings
was advocated by the League of
Maryland Sportsmen which adopted
a resolution calling upon the Depart
mt Of OF ri q
Governor O'Conor, and Senators Ty-
dings and Radcliffe to thoroughly in
vestigate the possibilities of such a
proposal.
Once procured, such holdings
could be developed into recreational
providing camping, hiking, swim
ming, boating, fishing and hunting ia
cilities for Maryland's citizenry
Members of the League pointed
out that despite 1900 mile Chesa-
peake Bay shoreline, the States only
free public recreational area around
it's entire periphery is the small Elk
Neck State Park near the head of the
bay, and the Forts Smallwood and
Armistead near Baltimore
Organized only one year ago, the
League of Maryland Sportsmen now
includes affiliated clubs in every
county in Maryland as well as the
District of Columbia. Better manage
ment of the States rivers and
streams is major issue with the
League. Cleansing the Patapscoe
River with it's open sewers and pun
gent odors in particular constitutes
a major objective.
