PAGE TWO INSIDE OF HOLLYWOOD Noises Os Nature In Cans Ready For Any Film Scene Recording footsteps wall m - ; Ouwn- Mt-cordim? »h» nf u rnttleanaks. stairs. (This is the ninth of a series | of articles portraying the inside | of the motion picture industry) By ANDREW R. BOONE Hollywood, Cal., Jan. 10— In thou sands of tin cans lining the shelves of cool, fire-proof vaults, Hollywood engineers have recorded scores of nature’s noises. These “noise libraries,” gathered at. i an expense of many millions of dol lars, are ready to be inserted in any ' picture where the babbltm of a brook or the roar of a train may be desired. In the early days of movie sound — say, four years ago—most noises were produced synthetically. The click of train wheels on rails came from a. tiny hand-turned machine. Now, however, real noises are used wherever possible. Sound crews go out with micro phones and recording cameras to the source of the sounds and strip them in wavy lines of celluloid against that day when they will be made to whis per or rear at audiences around the ■world. The sound-recording crews go out into the open spaces without cameras and record only the sound. Such things as footsteps in sagebrush, the hiss of snakes, thunder, the stam pede of cattle are recorded. Movie experts have found that ani mal sounds and other noises of na ture provoke more interest in their feature films than does ordinary dia logue of the actors For instance, the footsteps of a man escaping from the scene of a crime carry more interest in sound than does the actual picture of me villain. So delicate are the present micro phones that they can "pick up” whis pering the tapping of soft-clad danc ing shoes and the whistling of the wind. Bronchial Irritations Need Creosote For many years our host doctors have prescribed creosote in some form for coughs, colds and bronchitis, knowing how dangerous it is to let them hang on. Creomulsion witli creosote and six other highly important medicinal ele ments, quickly and effectively stops coughs and colds (that otherwise might lead to serious trouble. Creomulsion is powerful in the treatment of colds and coughs, yet. it is absolutely harmless and is pleas ant and easy to take.

DAILY DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1934 Possible Need Os New War Seen By Pacifist Leader Mrs. Carrie Chapman <Catt 'Surveys World on 75th Birthday By RUTH MORRIS New Rochelle, N. Y., Jan. 10—For the last nine years Mrs. Carrie Chap man Catt has devoted herself to the cause of peace. Yet this serene old lady, who is celebrating her 75th birthday this week, sees the possible need of another world war. “It may be we need another war," she told the writer in the large sun ny study of her home in New Roch elle, “and the depression that follows war, to develop common sense neces sary to make an end of war. The Great War produced an army of peace delegates willing to give their lives and all fhey possess to end war. But perhaps there aren’t enough peace delegates. Perhaps we need the experience of the World War and its aftermath once again to teach us that war is a hideous barbarism." Denies Conflict Imminent On the eve of the ninth annual Con ference on the Cause and Cure of War at Washington on January 16, Mrs. Catt, its founder and honorary chairman, admitted that , there is more war talk today than immediate ly before the Great War. But that this indicates an imminent world con flict she denied. “The number of people determined to conquer the problem of war grows increasingly greater year after year. The trouble the world finds itself in today is that, it didn’t have money to pay for the last war. It killed men, destroyed property, took men out of employment and put them on battle fields, on credit. Who will pay for a new war? The three great monetary nations which might lend money to those nations bent on going to war are Great Britain, the United States, and France. Have any of these na tions stored away the billions of dol lars necessary for this purpose? Per haps so, but in this country at any rate, if the people know that such a loan is being negotiated, I fancy loud voices will be heard in protest from every home in the land.” Called “Foremost Woman” The cause of women’s suffrage and peace have been her two great inter ests, but Mrs. att has many achieve ments to her credit. Last year she organized a protest committee of non- Jewish women to her resolution. In presenting the American Hebrew award given Mrs. Catt in recognition of this Work. Mrs. Roosveelt called her "perhaps the foremost woman of our country.’ “In 1922 the League of Women Vot ers, founded by Mrs. Catt, named her “the first of America’s twelve great est women.” Widowed twice, she lived during the years they were working for suff rage with Miss Mary Garrett Hay. Since Miss Hay’s death in 1928.

She had thrown herself on the divan and went on and on, sob bing and groaning, until her grief had spent itself, and she gradually grew calmer. Raoul made no attempt to check hpr outburst. He let her cry on. and remained preoccupied, striving to unravel the threads of the mystery that was gradually becoming clearer in his mind. But many points still remained obscure to him. He got up and paced the room for a long while. Once again, he went over in memory his first sight of that little country girl who had come to his flat by mistake. How charming she had looked! How frank and open! And what worlds separated that little country girl from the woman lying there on his divan, wrestling with her fate! The two stood out now in startling relief, ab solutely distinct from one another. The dual smile became two distinct smiles. There was the little coun try girl’s smile, and Blonde Clara’s smile. Poor Clara! Her smile had more art. but far less innocence! Raoul seated himself on the edge of the divan, gently stroking Clara’s hot forehead: “You must be terribly tired.” “No.” "Are you sure it won’t worry you to answer questions?” “No.” "Then, the first question I want answered, which will give me the key to all the others. Is: You know what I’ve just discovered, don’t you?” "Yes.” "Then, Clara, If you knew all along, why didn’t you tell me be fore? Why did you take so much trouble to deceive me? Do tell me why! ” "You wouldn’t understand.” "There are several things I don’t understand, but I shall when you’ve told me everything from the begin ning And then you’ll see how wrong It was of you to deceive me. All our troubles, all that we’ve been through, was due to your silence. . . . Now, 1 want you to tell me everything, please. . . Clara obeyed, speaking very low, and pausing to wipe away the tears that would continue to fall. “Very well, Raoul. I will tell you everything. I won’t lie. I won’t try to make anything out other than it was. I was a very unhappy child. MV mother, whose name was Ar mande Morin, was very fond of me . . . but she bad a.difficult,-life.. .1 suppose one would call her an ad IIP r' al ||pyf M 111 JIB f Ur if |§s? jH I j j| Wm j - HHHp jf 1 JrmßMt : ■Mm&M V I PsflHhP ■' ~ ■mMM 9 mm M _ J: £ Jnß ra|§|i 4ml Alda Wilson, architect, has been Mrs. Catt’s companion in the large home in New Rochelle. The two purposes of the National Conference on the Cause and Cure of War, Mrs. att said, are to investi gate the causes of war, and to find a cure for the war habit. Causes of War “To some extent we have found answers to both questions. We know the primary cause of war is the in herited and traditional custom of go ing to war plus the setablished mach inery, the century old knowledge, of how to get into war, how to conduct it, and how to make of it a great and sensational adventure. “Nations can find plenty of excuses which they call causes for war, but these differences of opinion between them are never solved by war, they can only be solved by conferences, debates, and a study of the facts that lie behind all disputes. If this is true, why does not war come to an imme diate end? Because the average hu man being doesn’t think, ha snot stu died the cause and cure of war as these eleven women’s organizations have. The average human being is still ignorant, still finds in war a gla morous adventure.” The cure for war, she declared, is to be found in the peace machinery already established, the League of Nations, the World Court, the Kellogg pact, and others yet to be made. None of these are complete or perfect, but their greatest defect is lack of pub lic determination to make peace ma chinery permanent and binding upon every nation. venturess. At first, we had a grand flat aud plenty to eat and drink, and servants. Some of mother’s friends were kind to me and gave me pres ents; some I hated. Then, we kept moving from flat to flat, each smaller and less luxurious than the last, un til finally we were living in a single room." She broke oft and continued in still iower tones: "My poor mother was ill. She seemed to have aged suddenly. I looked after her ... I did the house work . . . and I read my schoolbooks alone, as I couldn’t go to school any more. Mother would watch me working. One day, when she was half delirious, she told me about my father. . . . When my mother was quite a girl, she lived in Paris and went out sewing by the day to a family where she met a man who won her love and deceived her. He made her very unhappy, and left her a few months before I was born. After that, he sent her money for a time, and then he went abroad. She never tried to trace him, or to com municate with him. He was very wealthy. My mother told me also that my father had broken the heart of another girl, shortly before he met her. This girl was a governess in the country, whom he abandoned before he knew that she was ex pecting a *'iild. When my mother was going from Deauville to Lisieux, she met a little girl who bore an extraordinary resemblance to me. She made inquiries and found that the child’s name was Antonine Gautier. . . . That was all my mother ever told me about myself. She died without revealing my father’s name. I was 17 at the time of her death. Among her papers the only clue that I found was the photograph of a Louis XVI de:k, with the position of a secret drawer and the way to open it marked in her handwriting. At the time, I paid no attention to it. As I told you. Raoul, 1 had to work for my living. So I went in for dancing. . . . And 18 months ago I met Valthex. . . Clara paused, looking all-in, but made an effort to go on: "Valthex was not communicative, and seldom referred to his own con cerns. One day he told me about the Marquis d’Erlemont with whom he was intimate. He had just left him, and was full of admiration for a very fine Loius XVI desk belong ing to the marquis. 1 pressed him for details, and soon I felt sure that it was the same desk whose photo graph I had found among mother’s : papers. I also felt that the marquis ipiglit be the man who had wooed my mother, and ail that I managed Peace Leadership in U. S. “Mr. Roosevelt, in his speech com memorating the birthday of Wood row Wilson, said that the great need today was for political leaders who stand out strongly for peace. That is true, but the leaders will come when the populace wants peace, and is more outspoken than it is today Mr. Roosevelt said some strong things for peace in his speech. I hopp he will be one of the great world lead ers for peace. This is a powerful country even with its depression, and whenever the government itself leans strongly in the direction of peace, it will do more than any other thing to prevent the war which people insist is coming.” Armaments should be reduced in categories by international agree ment, Mrs. Catt said. The disarma ment, conference which will meet soon has upon its agenda the plan to discard all armaments which are used for aggression, but to retain wea pons of defense. The main achievement of the con ference which will meet in Washing ton will be to move a little further towards its aim of understanding thoroughly the cause and cure of war she declared. As more women master the subject, more will go out to cru sade and to seek action bringing about the destruction of war mach inery and the war habit. Peace “Cer’am to Come” “We shall have travelled a little further along the road toward per manent peace which is as certain to come as the sun is sure to rise to morrow. The principle upon which to learn about him and his past life only confirmed me la my intuition.” "But I had no definite plan in mind at that time, and acted more out of mere curiosity than anything else. That was why, when Valthex once showed me a key, and said with a strange smile: ‘That is the key of the marquis’ flat, he left it in the door and I must return it to him.’ I almost without knowing why, got hold of that key. A month later. Valthex was being shadowed by the police: I broke away from him and hid in Paris,” “Why didn't you go at once to see the marquis?” asked Raoul. “If I had known for certain ho was my father, I should certainly have gone to him for help. But to be certain of that, it was necessary for me to get into his flat, and look in the secret drawer of his desk. I used to wander on the Quai Voltaire and watch the marquis come out of the house without daring to speak to him. I knew his habits. Just as I knew you and Courville by sight, and ail the servants . . . and the marquis’ key was always In my pocket. But I couldn’t make up my mind to use it; the whole idea was foreign to my nature. And then, one afternoon, compelled by circum stances— the same circumstances that caused us to meet on the fol lowing night . . She paused for the last time. Her story was nearing its climax, the mysterious core of the enigma. She half whispered: "It was half past four, I was walking on the Quai disguised so as to be unrecognizable, with my hair hidden under a veil. I saw Valthex come out of the marquis’ and go away, and as I approached the house I saw a taxi drive up and stop. A girl carrying a suitcase got down: she had fair hair like mine, and seemed rather like me; her face waa the same shape, and her expression was similar. It was an unmistak able likeness, a sort of family re semblance that was quite remark able. Suddenly. I remembered my mother finding a girl exactly like me on her way to Lisieux. Surely this must be the same girl, grown up! And the fact that the girl who looked like my twin, or rather, my half sis ter, was going to visit the marquis seemed to me proof that the marquis d’Erlemont must be the father of * both of us. That very evening, knowing the marquis to be out and unlikely to return till late. I hesi tated no longer. I went up to his flat, found the desk, opened the se cret drawer, and found my mother’s photograph. Then I knew all." (TO BR fONTINUKDI 14/Kats What-at a Glance M WASHINGTON tf~ WQR LP*"lfc« By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Jan. 10.—Senator sub serviency to President Roosevelt is downright alarming. It is not that the lawmakers all are in simpathy with what he is do ing. Not a few of them are bitterly critical of many of his policies. How* ever, they are only confidentialy cri tical of them. Officiary they indorse them heartily, unreservedly, enthusi astically. They are afraid not to. Os course the adverse critics in clude the old-fashioned Republican stand-patters, but on the floors of the two congressional chambers they agree that they must co-operate with the administration. Dissatisfaction in conservative Democracy’s ranks is of no negligible proportions, either —but try to induce a handful of Demo cratic legislators to admit it for pub lication ! GENERAL ATTITUDE Times unmistakably are picking up. While the improvement continues it is a safe prediction that none but the most reckless politician will indulge in much fault-finding—and reckless ness is as rare a quality as there is among politicians. Before the New Deal’s effect had begun to make itself felt, earlier in the Roosevelt regime, three or four comparatively daring statesmen risk ed half a dozen or so of tentative at tacks upon it notably Senators Thomas D. Schall of Minnesota, Henry D. Hatfield of West Virginia and L. J. Dickinson of lowa. Now it is conceded that they were very in judicious; numerous advisers are hushing them urgently. There are some confidentially dis gruntled radicals, who doubt that the administration is going as far as they wish it to, tout they are as reluctant as the conservatives to express them selves with any vigor. all intelligent peace workers base their theories is, there can be no per fect peace until all the world unites in a determination to have it.” |Mrs. Catt expressed the opinion that the world is now much more afraid of Germany than of Russia. People who study Germany under Hitler come back convinced that mil itary propaganda and dsicipline are uppermost there, she said. She point ed out, however, that Germany has not the guns nor munitions at pre sent to wave war. “I do notj feel that Germany is going to continue long to move backward. It has set the clock back, but there are still people in Germany who cannot possible ap prove this policy and we shall at some time see Germany move for ward again.” Mrs. Catt told a letter she had re ceived from some Japanese women visiting in Manchuria, in which they told her they were opposed to fight ing. “It is very nice to think people all over the world are in sympathy with our feforts to end war,” sh confided smilingly. “I don’t think the outlook is at all discouraging.” Higher Prices for Several Different Reasons Sure Under Reduction College Station, Raleigh, Jan. 10.—. North Carolina cotton growers who participate in the acreage adjustment program for 1934 and 1935 are assured of a three-way benefit. This is one fact which will make the contract attractive to all grow ers, believes Charles A. Sheffield, as sistant extension director at State College. Sheffield points out that not only will there be liberal rental pay ments but that the grower is also as sured of a benefit payme*, next fall of one cent a pound on his part of the domestic allotment. But greater than these, Sheffield declares, is the increased price per pound to be brought about by a re duction in the acreage of cotton. The grower needs no further assurance that a better price per pound will be received next fall than his own ex perience following the successful plow up campaign which farmers made ef fective last summer. “The cotton consuming world was probably skeptical that Southern far mers would cooperate so heartily in Personal To some man who sees no great future in the business he is now running, or in the position he is now holding: Have you ever thought of going into the food-store business,——of owning your own grocery and meat store? fj We have a plan whereby you may own and operate a store independently and still have the same buying and advertising benefits as you would have if you were operating a thousand stores.

STATIONS Railroads are not dead by any means. More railroad passenger sta tions are being built in the United States now than at any time in year*, New stations costing million are u;> der way at Newark, N. J., Atlantic City, N. J., Houston, Tex., and Los Angeles. While at Syracuse, N. Y., tracks are to be elevated through the entire city at the same time a new terminal is to be constructed. ,In the last two years huge new pas senger terminals have been complet ed in Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Omaha. Large terminal developments, in cluding electrification, also are unjv way in Baltimore. In the meantime, this scribe can find only one bus terminal under con struction—and that in New York City (near Times Square), of all places! taking out cotton acreage in the sum mer of 1933,” says Sheffield, “and the fact that this was done not only re moved this doubt but had an excel lent effect on the price of cotton last fall. A part of this better price how ever was based on the belief that the growers would cooperate again in 1934 further to reduce the crop. Grow ers realize this and will not fail 1o make good on the plan.” Cotton farmers therefore are urged to make the present program effec tive and to collect for themselves the three-way benefit which will accrue to them toy cooperating with themselves and with the Agricultural Adjustment Administration.
