SELECTING JURY FOR SNOOK TRIAL Seven Jurors Tentatively Selected At Opening Os Court Today Court Room, Columbus, 0., July 25. —(U.R>— The problem of jury selection continued today in the trial of Dr. James H. Snook, 48, former Ohio State university professor and Olympic games revolver champion, for the murder of Theora Hix, 24-year-old medical student. Four women and three men were in the jury box when the session opened and the first two talesmen examined failed to qualify. One of these was Mrs. Clara Rhodes, the first woman called who has failed of acceptance. She was excused when she expressed views against capital punishment. Snook seemed more interested in what went on today. He talked animatedly with his attorneys during the first half hour and had paper in front of him on which he made occasional notations. Melvin T. Hix and wife, parents of the dead girl, watched the proceedings eagerly. He never missed an opportunity to stare at Snook, but the alleged murderer avoided the gaze of his inamorata’s father. Questions to prospective jurors touched their attitude on sex relations and usually revealed a liberal view. The questions embraced the willingness of talesmen to discuss delicate matters of human relations in mixed company. None would admit they would suffer hampering embarrassment. o,— American Contractor Sentenced In London London.

Bomb Causes Scare In Chicago Loop District Chicago, July 25. —(U.R) — Loop theatre crowds btamvered for shelter when a black powder bomb exploded in the rear of the Davis company's department store last night. The blast racked the entire south end of the downtown business district. The detonation was heard a mile or more away. Thousands followed police and fire apparatus to the scene. Smoke and powder fumes rolled from the alley. Glass fell from shattered windows as high as the fourth and fifth floors of the Davis store and neighboring buildings. Philip Iwunski, a chauffeur, gathering waste material from the alley, said he noticed a pasteboard box at a freight entrance to the department store. “1 picked it up,” he told police. "It felt hot. I didn't know what it was. I laid it down again and walked on. 1 had gone but a few feet until there was a terrific flash and explosion.” -»-■ ■ - nXO’llfE »F SALE OF MOTOR VEHICLE STATE OF INDIANA ADA AIN COI N I A Under the acts of 1925 page 601, Section 56, the undersigned will ,on the 3rd day of August, 1929, at 1 o’clock P.

HOLLY WOODS FILM SHOP

By Duane Hennessy VP Staff Correspondent Hollywood, July 25—(UP)—Famous directors may be robbed of another privilege, that of having their sets colored tb fit their moods, if natural color photography becomes universa in pictures through new scientific discoveries. .At present most directors have favorite color tones, which are followed in their settings, and which they prefer to photograph, in many cases because they can best judge photograph •effects in them. Clarence Brown, who produced “Flesh and the Devil” and “The Trail of ’9B” for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayei. prefers all his sets in a uniform shade of gray, when possible. By the sameness the setting appears to his eye as it will look on the screen. He started the plan spme years ago when he directed “Butterfly. Tod Browning, famous director of Lon Chaney pictures, likes vivid reds and blues, which make contrasting effects. Most of his weird settings in such plays as "London After Midnight” and “Where East is East” appeared distinctly red to the eye. “Fred Niblo, who just completed directing John Gilbert in Redemption,” likes authentic coloring—or the coloring one sees in real life, and leaves it to the camerman to adapt th,ese to the exigencies of photography. r _ George Hill, j'TJIO Wing Fleet.” goes In for blacks and whites with ari little conflicting color as possible, for he was *a camerman before he became a director.

Lionel Barrymore, the actor, who is directing nowadays, prefers shades of biown that "match up” with the new panchromatic makeup of the players, as he says it gives a better perspective of the whole pictorial scheme at a glance, without resorting to the blue glass, or ray filter. Barrymore directed "Madame X” and "The Green Ghost.”

A lot of strange things are seen and heard in Hollywood. And now we have a fat woman who frankly admits she is sorry for the thin members of her sex. She is Cupid Ainsworth, 250-pound vaudevillian making her screen debut as the wise-cracking “advice to the lovelorn” editor in Pathe’s “Big News,” which features Robert Armstrong and Carol Lombard.

"Thin women are always worried,” Cpid said. “That keeps them skinnier than all the diets in the world

When 1 was a kid and began to resemble a baby elephant in size, someone told me to worry'to lose tonnage. 1 spent a week trying to find something to fret about and couldn s then I resumed having a good t«»e. Fat women love to laugh and see humor in everything. Thin Women are oppositely constituted and 1 feel tony for them. Think of all the tun they miss." By George H. Beale, UP Staff Correspondent Hollywood. July 24.-<U.R)-Ac<ors equity fight for a “closed shop in Hollywood has been going on for several months ami most of the screen colony still is wondering what it's ail about. 1 Equity seems to have made very little progress in the .attempt to dictate a 48-hour week and all-equrty casts and the producers have dona little to quell the uprising. The one outstanding development appears to be a growing undercurrent against the equity movement. The feeling, almost exclusively local, seems to be based on the presumption that a New Aork organization is attempting to move in on a Hollywood institution. Without saying so the old-time film

players feel that equity has attemp;. ed to take advantage of the talk;, situation and drive into a plat whei-. it is not needed. Through the same line of reasoning 1 the idea is extended to include t|„. belief that New York is attempting to monopolize film jobs throng,, equity. The action of Frank Gillni re, ,x---ecutive of equity, in dissolve . the local committee o (equity was fuel to this underground fire. So far equity's drastic ruling pichibjting any member to set foot on any set or location has not hurt tin studios. When an equity member has been called for a role and has turned ; down because oif equity's demand, the producer merely has found sonitutie else to take the part. The equity players who have turned down nonequity contracts have been the only ones hurt so far. Incidentally the foothold stage players had gained in Hollywood through the talkies seem rather slippery with the equity warfare. Motion picture names always hare ' been the greatest drawing cards and • the stage names, added because of ’ their speaking ability, may fall by i the wayside unless the present situation clears quickly. All the stage stars belong to . quity i and they fdhr to disobey equity demands when they are not yet sure of ' what the screen promises. A few more months of the present • stand-off and all the legitimate actors d wiil .be Jack—on the stage and the | screen will be left to the former silent t stars.
