This occurred In the filming of “Gone with the Wind,” fUm- ization of Margaret Mitchell’s cel ebrated novel, which opened to day on the Liberty Theatre screen after two years of intensive pro duction. The technicians wrested victory from defeat in the screen version of Miss Mitchell’s novel, by a trick of sheer reality. They burn ed a replica of the Confederate military base in Atlanta, but not until the problem of stark de struction had almost baffled them.

DOUGHTON, Sheriff Wilkes County. 5-6-4t. m Harold Fenton, construction su perintendent, reproduced the scene of Atlanta In 1S64 on twenty acres. Warehouses, cot ton gins, lumber yards and a Con federate arsenal arose 'from a pattern of steel engravings and Civil War photographs. A train of wooden box cars was spotted on the warehouse tracks. The call went out for 1200 extras and that night, a crowd estimated by Los Angeles police at 10,000, gath ered in the Baldwin Hills south of the movie lot. Lee Zavitz, special effects tech- uician, took over. The group of 36 buildings, most of them three stories in height, was piped with a battery of spray nozzles, con cealed in the doomed structures. A centrifugal pump connected on three 5000-gallon tanks served the system. Two tanks contained a mixture of gasoline and dis tillate. The third was full of water. Flames Spring Up Lyle Wheeler, studio art direc tor, who with William Cameron Menzies, designed the set, press ed the button that started the electrical ignition. The pump re sponded with tremendous press ure through ti.e atomizing “fog nozzles.” Flames sprang up in a dozen places, at times to a height of two hundred feet. “We cut off the gasoline and turned on the water when there was enough fire,” Director Victor Fleming explained. “That sent np clouds of steam and we played red and yellow search lights on them. When the flames were loosened again, Gable and Miss Leigh oame into the scene with their horse and wagon. The background of fire and colored smoke was perfect.” Shirley Temple The.U. S.
