Cutter Jack Murray said home photographers could throw as much footag j of friends, baby and sky on the cutting floor as he does of famous stars. “Home movies can and should be very diverting,” he said “Bad cutting, or no cutting at all, is th« reason they are not.” The people in home movies usu aly are bigger hams than movie actors, Murray said. “They all want to be stars. Turn the camera on them and they chew up the scenery.” The home potographer should not be afraid to cut them right out. “He usually is reluct to throw away a single inch of his pro duct for fear of wasting film or hurting feelings. The result is just plain boring—too much of everything. Kiss Edited Down Murray, knee-deep in cut film, was editing the John Ford-Mer ian C. Cooper picture, “War Party.” On the tiny screen, Shir ley Temple was being kissed by John Agar. The kiss lasted four seconds. “Too long,” Murray grunted, shortening it in the middle. “De u Hughes Bros., Inc.

Among contributing factors was the worst blizzard in 50 years, halting fuel transport and Killing livestock. This scdhe is In Yorkshire. AN (PANTS FOR N NOW VOGUE Latest Wrinkle In Clothing Sweepin Sections Of Country By JAMES BROCK United Press Staff Correspondent PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec., 00 (U.R)— The new look for men is finally sweeping the country, but it’s not so much a “look” as an “it’s there, all right, but you can’t see it.” Antsy Pants, the latest wrinkle in boxer’s shorts, is an exclusive product of Goldw iter’s Phoenix department store. Since the firm began placing advertisements in national magazines it has receiv ed more than 3,500 orders for the novel male lingerie. Mr. America’a desire to have his shorts adorned with huge red ants has the firm working over time to fill orders which pour in at the rate of 150 a day. Gene Warren, the store’s men’s shop buyer and Antsy Pants au thority, said an additional clerk had to be hired to handle corre spondence connected with the craze. “We’re not only 2,00 orders be hind already,” he said, “but new orders keep coming in faster than we can catch up on the old ones.” The firm’s predicament is com plicated because manufacturing the garment has its problems. The white broadcloth material is bought in New York, then shipped to Los Angeles, where the two-inch-long facimiles of desert ants are imprinted. Still another Los Angeles firm does the actual cutting and stitching. Largest of the orders, which have come from parts as far away as Guam and England, was received from the president of a Detroit firm. He asked for 50 pairs, in a dozen sizes, and en closed a check for $125. If the demand keeps up, more than 10,000 pairs of shorts are ex pected to be sold within the next seven to eight months. Warren said he was bothered by one thing — inability to furn ish enough of the garments lo cally. “We had expected to advertise in Phoenix newspapers before this,” he said, “but you can see the spot we’re in.” He promised, however that male Phoenicians would have ants on their pants by early De cember. Old Gray Mare Question Solved By Veterinarians CHICAGO (U.PJ—The American Veterinary Medical Associ I ation dug into the oats bag and | it has found the answer to the | ageless question of why “the old gray mare ain’t what 3h« used ; to be.” j It can be blamed on “melano | blastoma.” “Melan . . .etc.,” it ihould be explained quickly, is a technical word for a kind of tumor which horses get if they aren’t care ful. The tumors, the AVMA ex plained, come from old age. “As the horse’s hair turns from gray to white, the pigment of the original color becomes concentrated in certain places on the skin or in the organs, and tumors are the result,” the association said. Oldest Newsboy, 93, Wed To Bride of 35 SAVANNAH, Ga. —The old est newsboy in the world, 93 year-old George L. (Dad) Howe —is off on another * journey— over he sea of matrimony. Last fall, Dad left here on a trip to the West Coast, but he was stricken ill in Lafayette, La., and returned home with funds contributed by Savannah residents. Now, after a six-months court ship, he is married to Willie E. Lord, 35.___ tracts from the drama coming up. “Cutting that kiss is a difficult choice we have ti make, but it illustrates what home movie fans should do. Three seconds of your wife squatting on a cannon or baby pattycaking is enough. Imagine how you’d squirm if we showed you all 100,000 ft expos ed on “War Party.” He suggested that home movie makers balance their movies by working out a sort of a shooting script before unpacking their cameras. “Then film should be cut so as not to appear cut,” he said. “If you are shooting baby running down his dbg, catch him starting move up for a closeup of the dog waiting and pan to baby pulling up before him. It tells more than « continuous truck shot. CHRISTMAS TREE TO BE 100 YEARS OLD THIS YEAR READING, Pa. (U.PJ — The Christmas tree will be 110 years o]d in the United States this year. Dr. Alfred L. Shoemaker, curator of the Historical Society of Berks County, is helping to organize the Reading - Berks | County Bicentennial Celebration I in 1948. He says 1838 is the earl iest date found when the deco rated evergreen was used in Christmas festivities in this country. The idea was brought to America by Germans who set tled in Pennsylvania and have since come to be called “Penn sylvania Dutch.” Dr. Shoemaker has assembled many examples of early Christmas tree orna ments. All were made by hand, usually of cardboard covered with gilt paper. Also hung on the tree were the famous “Penn sylvania Dutch” Christm a s cookies, which were the first to mark Christmas with any gaiety They observed the feast when it was largely ignored by the New Englanders. _ Bedroom Styles Feature College Fashion Show COLUMBIA, Mo. <U.R> With two women’s colleges here (and the University of Missouri), a girl has to watch how she dresses— even in bed.
