Blinker Helps Film
Dancers Keep Time
HOLLYWOOD

HOLLYWOOD. - An in
genious device which enables
film dancers to keep perfect
time without music has been in
augurated on B. G.. DeSylva' s
THE Stork Club" set at Para
mount.
1t consists of series of small
blinker lights located about the
set in view of the actors but out
of range of the cameras. The
lights flash on and off in the
exact tempo of the dance after
the music has been stopped in
order to record dialogue in a
scene.
BY glancing at the blinking
bulbs the dancers can move
about freely without the neces-
sity of either carrying the
tempo in their minds or keep
ing their eyes on the orchestra
leader or a dance coach station
ed off the set.

Vessel Pilgrim, built by the
studio as a full-sized reproduc-
ton of the actual brig on which
Dana shipped, followed an au-
thentic ailing G course. This
touch of super-realism was the
work of Director John Farrow,
who is real salt water sailor,
holding the commission of Com
mande in the Royal Canadian
Navy.
Sets Movie Course
Farrow, before the start of
on 1.-TWO Years Before The
Mast" laid down an exact mari
ner's course, duplicating the sail
ing track of the original Pilgrim
from Boston, Mass, to Monterey,
Calf, around Cape Horn. The
nautical-minded director charted
the course which was strictly
followed in the narrative of the
15,000mile voyage.
He had copies of his merca-
tors chart struck off and dis
tributed them to Alan Ladd,
Brian Donlevy, William Bendix
and other members of the Pill
grim's crew and to the assistant
director, the cameraman, set
dresser, prop man and others of
the production staff.
Charts Practical
The sailing charts were more
than a display in seamanship
virtuosity. They served a very
practical purpose in the making
of the lengthy and difficult
marine sequences of the picture.
With the actors they were in
tended to put the film sailors
"in a nautical spirit" and "give
them the feel of sailing" ex-
planned Farrow. The charts pro-
vided the technicians and crafts
men a guide in rigging the movie
ship for the weather and claims
that it theoretically passes
through during the course of the

plosive one. The lone star in
Hollywood who most fits the
requirements demanded in the
portrayal of Miss Guinan is
Betty - and she handles the
role with expert skill.
From her earliest days in
Texas, Betty keeps her eyes
fixed on an objective. She
wants success, wealth and fame
and when wild west rodeo
roars into town, Betty's part of
the show when the rodeo pulls
out. There's no holding the
bombshell after that. She falls
for de Cordova, the owner, but
is whisked away to New York
by press agent Bill Goodwin
when de Cordova evinces no
interest in her amorous ap.
proaches.
Betty takes Broadway by
storm and in that period of the
roaring 'twenties called the "era
of wonderful nonsense" she's
soon the toast of the town. The
flame of love held for de Cor
dova, though, burns brighter
than ever and his visit to New
York as a henchman of Albert
Dekker, big-time night club
operator, affords the opportunity
of a reunion. 1t is then that
Betty finds de Cordova had
loved her since their first meet
ing. Then, though, he was un-
able to propose because of a
strange circumstance.
Together, Betty and de Cor
dova work hand in hand in each
o theirs interest, eventually
winding up in Hollywood as a
producing team. Academy A
ward winner Barry Fitzgerald
plays Mike Guinan, Betty's
screen father. His performance

Northeast Citizens
Back Suffrage Move

The -Capper resolution
proposing a constitutional amend
ment to empower Congress to pro-
vide national representation for the
District was indorsed last night by
the Northeast Citizens Association.
The resolution was reintroduced
in the House yesterday by Chair
man Summers OF the House Judici-
ary Committee. Senator Capper,
Republican, of Kansas, is expected
to reintroduce the rsolution in the
Senate later this week.
Roscoe Jenkins, president of the
group, in urging support for the
resolution said District residents
must be given q voice In their gov
ernment If local problems are to be
coped with adequately. He said
important District matters often are
ignored and called upon Congress to
provide the remedy.
The group also called upon the
Public Utilities Commission for
more stringent enforcement Of regu-
lations governing cab drivers, COM
planning that many cab drivers arbi-
trarily refuse to accept passengers
when a requested destination is not
acceptable to them.
A request for additional streetcar

Gateway Citizens Ask
Evictions Be Halted

An appeal to the Zoning Commis-
sion to rezone temporarily an area
in the northeast section to prevent
the eviction of families in the COM
munity was voted by the National
Gateway Citizens Association last
night.
The action came after Guy
Tankon pointed out that publicity
had been given some CongresSmen
unable to locate homes for their
families while here IS families will
be forced to look for homes" If the
area is not rezoned from "A re-
strict" to "a" The Pennsylvania
Railroad tracks, South Dakota ave-
nue. and Bladensburg road NE
would be rezoned to permit multiple
family dwellings until six months
after the war, and then reconverted
into single family dwellings.
In an effort to combat any juve-
nile delinquency which might occur
in their community, the association
has organized two bowling teams
and two basket ball teams, the latter
composed of boys from to II years
old. Norman M. Murray, presi-
dent, said he hoped to begin an
athletic league in the Northeast
area which would be sponsored by
the citizens association. featuring
basket ball. bowling and hard and
soft baseball.
One way of combating delin-
quency or preventing it," Mr.. Muir
ray said, 'is to begin with the adults
and work down the line to the chill
dren. The adults need relaxation
to forget juvenile delinquency ana
the children need recreation to keep
out of trouble"
The meeting was held in the
Church of Christ.
