Square-shouldered, straight, steadyeyed, she looked at herself in the old dim mirror that had reilected all the moods of her girlhood, and laughed contentedly. "Somehow I can't feel that I'm getting married!" The others straggled away, Lily taking her baby. Ariel was alone with her sister.

WIIKN Hollywood had only 300 people and not even a "nickelodeon," pioneering actors rent ed nn old barn there and be- I pan to film "The Squaw Man." Armed cowboy , dashing through dusty streets to "fight" Indians, alarmed the village, j If the play called for a scene on a 1 front porch, the actors simply got permission to use somebody's porch. No i one, at first, built special "sets." Such | colossal structures as Babylonian pal- ; aces 300 feet high, built later to film "Intolerance," were undreamed of. Now studios that are walled cities within themselves house this stupendous industry, whose feats smack almost of witchcraft. To make a "horror* picture, the illusion of prehistoric monsters invad , ing n modern city was achieved with Texas armadillos. Shot at 20 times normal size, while waddling past the toy buildings of a miniature city, the I final effect on the screen was realis: tically hideous. One studio has a toy shop where ; boats, airplanes, cities, railroad trains, and automobiles are all made in miniature. In "The Invisible Man," a tiny automobile, loaded with gasoline-soaked ' cotton and a fuse, was run off a toy , cliff, bursting into flumes. In the same picture a railroad train (with cars 2 | feet long) tumbled down a mountain | side. Both "accidents* were strangely ! convincing. Coral and marine plants for undersea views are cleverly counterfeited. "When we found ocean stuff wouldn't transplant," said a Universal director, "we dipped cactus and other desert ; growth in a plaster solution. Dried and painted, this 'bottom of the sea* fooled everybody." Octopus tentacles and snakes may be merely a jointed tube, strung on piano wire, coated with sponge rubber, j and painted. Human Actors of All Kinds. But it Is human beings and their be] havior, as much as tricks with cameras. that make Hollywood, which Is only a | part of Los Angeles, better known abroad than the big city Itself. Since most of the world's movies are made hereabouts, the millions paid in salaries lure performers, real and would-be, from every other clime. Besides stars and plain five-dollar-a-day "extras," these actors range from real pygmies, as in "Tarzan." to acrobats and bona fide bareback riders in plays like "Polly of the Circus." Casting offices for years have studied I hordes of people for different roles. | More than 17.000 are listed on cards | for "bit" and "atmosphere" work. Every conceivable type i.?? needed. As one I official said, "We could not use the i same crowd for an embassy reception as for a clandestine meeting of the Black Hand." At the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio, experts keep in mind the faces of some 7,000 semi-regulars, and use a filing s^s- ] tem for thousands of extras. Eighty per cent of the types needed I fall into such groups as dress men. | bellhops, police, collegians, butlers, riders, tall, short, and fat men. stunt j men, army and navy men, tough men. i Judges, etc.; dress women (meaning intelligent, society types who can wear j smart clothes), pretty girls, homely i girls, stenographers, tall, short, fat. and stunt women, maids, character women, riders, dancers, dowagers, healthy children, peaked children. Hawaiians, Orientals. Latins, Nordic and Slavic types. An emergency call for "one tough mechanic with a broken nose and two teeth missing" was quickly met. Trained acrobats who can take rough falls and not get hurt; sailors with one eye; a distinguished-looking man I with a continental-like "spade beard" day, August 22, 1935 SEEN IN OLLYWOOD ; I im r (' jsj ; t tificial Eyelash. f who can work as a count or a diplomat j ?all those are in the cards! Some of the Tricks. n "These bottles we break over each 1 other's heads in barroom brawls couldn't hurt anybody," explains an ac- s tor made up like Jesse James. "They're 51 not glass; they're made of candy." -v Icicles of plaster, oatmeal for snow, 1 and gales made by wind machines, all f join to simulate winter. To make it ^ rain over a three-acre field In "Little Women," RKO engineers built scaffolding high above the lot which carried a mile of perforated pipe. I5y this vast i v sprinkling system it could "shower" ( whenever directors yelled, "Start the rain!" j In another scene, horses hauled a sleigh across a "snow field" made of lialf-haked cornflakes. Being yellow, they photographed white. At the same c time a battery of 20 huge motor pro- v pollers at one side of the field blew the air thick with cornflakes, making t a "blizzard.." During a pause in the 3 work one horse got at a big hag of t extra cornflakes, overate, was foun- s dered. and a movie veterinarian had c to give first aid. Just then an actor, i bundled up to face the "cold," got a i sunstroke! 5 Among strange sights here Is an 1 Eskimo village with igloos, ice fields, and all. Five hundred men used tons r of white plaster to make this set. It I saves the cost of sending actors up " North. 1 Realism of "Berlin." t "Berlin" was only about 150 fee*. I from "Mexico" on the Universal lot. * "Bain" poured down in a Berlin street 1 where actors in "Little Man, What ' Now?" walked along in raincoats, car- s rying umbrellas; cab horses pawed the water, and boys pedaled along on glistening-wet bicycles. From out In the dry a director called his orders. r For verisimilitude an exact model of ? a Berlin street car. all painted with t bona fide names and numbers, clattered t along under its own power. About a t kiosk, or newsstand, draped with lllus- I trated German weeklies, a group of S old German types recruited from Los t Angeles lodging bouses talked in Ger- j man about German politics. i Barely a stone's throw away, on an- I other "set," u cowboy actor, the idol * of small boys the world over, was c struggling through Mexican border c brush a few jumps ahead of a Texas 1 sheriff. 1 Any kind of scenery desired, from * Alpine to Sahara, can be found or easily manufactured somewhere in southern California. To film an Australian drama, some rolling plains were wanted like the 1 terrain near Melbourne, where the < principal action of the story took place, s They were found in Los Angeles ( I county. c Sometimes, however, nature plays a 1 I Joke. Once rain interrupted the shoot- < | ing of some scenes where were used big > | leafless gum trees. Two weeks later, \ when the actors went back to com- t plete that scene, the trees had leafed < out. In order to match the old setting, 1 the trees had to be picked like chick- l ens, which made a two days' job for < 20 men. From snow scenes in mountains back of Hollywood to seaside set-ups is only a three hours' drive. "Covered Wagon" was filmed on a ranch near Burbank. now seldom used because two j air lines fly over it and the roar of planes spoils sound effects. Near Santa Monica is an almost per- j feet bit of Cuba. 1 About Oxnard Is a made-to-order Sahara. The "Alps" are In San Bernardino county, and the fishermen's vil- 1 lage on the Los Angeles harbor has 1 | often been pictured as "Southern Italy." 1 POULTRY ECTS JSE LAYING FEED I FOR SUMMER EGGS f Safest Way to Make Profit, I Poultry Man Says. I ly Leon Todd. Extension Poultrym : . pUP. K due University.?WNU S?m g| If the healthy flocks of laying hens 1 eceives a balanced laying ration hrough tlie summer, they should I eturn a profit. To discontinue the ? eedlng of a laying mash wonld cause 3 lost of the flock to go out of produc- w Ion and then into a molt. The feed- g| ng of a laying ration will make I t easier and more practical select I he poor producers. I Since most farm flocks did not lay jr nany eggs last fall or early winter, * t Is possible that the same flocks will j|| ive n slightly heavier production this fe nmmer if they are properly fed and I ave good care. Records from inn I ocfc owners co-operating with th< Pw 1 tie poultry extension division show |jj hat It Is possible to make a good profit |f rom summer egg production, provided ji he flocks get a balanced ration and S he poor producers are eliminated. I When the flock is properly fed it Is I ot difficult to select the poor a yen. 1 They are the first to go out of nro motion (luring the summer and will oon he moulting. If some of tlie birds re t<? hp kept over for the second ear. It Is wise to make those selecions during the summer. Usually the same ration which was ed during the winter is also used to eep up summer production. The one ! xception is that the birds will con- ? unie less grain during the warm k reather. One should not forget to proide oyster shells and plenty of clean | resh water. 3ullets Need Green Crop When Released on Range Wherever possible a succulent green rop should he available for the pullets \ fhen they are released on the range, ? mrl the pasture preserved and utilized o the best advantage throughout the umnier. The ideal system would be o confine the birds in a fairly small eetlon at a time and move tlieni periodically throughout the summer, keepng the crop cut or grazed by live stock n advance, so that only fresh new :rowth would be available to the pulets. In practice, a similar result can e achieved by running a two-year crop otation so that the land is free of oultry every other year. Within the trea allotted for the years use the muse may be moved to a new position ieveral times during the summer. If his is not feasible, then the feed hop>ers should he moved, say I"? ??r 20 eet every few days, so as to induce he birds to spread over the entire ielcl. instead of congregating on one spot. Give Hens Wet Mash If the poultry flock has a late sumner laying slump, feed a wet mash, if kimmilk Is available use it in the regilar laying mash, or use semi-solid butermilk at the rate of two pounds to lie hundred of mash. The hens should lave only what they will clean up in JO mrinutes. It is best to feed the wet rumhly mash late In the afternoon, list before the night feeding of grain. j Vt the New York State college two >ounds of tobacco dust is added to ?ach 100 pounds of mash as an aid to rontrol intestinal worms and coecidi sis. Tobacco dust should be guarinteed to contain 1 per cent of nicoIne sulphate. When the mash is being 'ed no change should be made in tbo egular routine of flock management. nave oujliiciciil iww A sufficient number of nests in the flying house Is necessary to prevent rowding on the nests which may reiiiIt In broken or soiled eggs, says B.
