photographing the native marriage ceremony for Bing Crosby’s p1 c - ture, “Waikiki Wedding”. The heat is necessary because it is one of the coldest days of the year, and there are a lot of beautiful girls around who have very few clothes on.

i other natives take it up. They turn towards the camera, looking eagerly and yelling: “Hade! Hade! Hade!” I get all set to see the crockery smashed, but nothing happens. Bing, it seems, is out at Santa Anita betting on the ponies. It will be tomorrow or the next day before he does his part in the scene. Travel is quite simple in Hollywood if you have a pass to all the studios. Igo next door to R-K-O and am soon watching a French carnival It is a scene for “Escadrille". Miriam Hopkins, wife of Paul Muni in the picture, is doing a bit of stepping with Louis Hayward. Her real boy friend, Director Anton Litvak, stands behind the camera and supervises their love making. It is a complete carnival housed within the R-K-O sound stage—two ferris wheels, a merry-go-round, a "Trip Through Hell” and a shooting gallery. One of the shots is of Hayward winning a tin medal for his marksmanship. This Is a World war story. In place of a moving row of rabbits or ducks, the targets are German soldiers. There is a big face which looks like the kaiser’s. I ask Litvak if that is who it is supposed to be. "No, no,” he says. He takes another look. “Maybe we’d better change that,” he says Summoning a prop man he tells him: “Take the mustache off that face.” So careful does Hollywood have to be. I see another example of this on the “Marked Woman” set at Warners. New

York has warned the studio that this picture will be banned If the story is too reminiscent o f the Luciano vice investigation or can be identified as taking place in the state. Warners and Director Lloyd Bacon have devised a clever

way to Indicate that the story does not occur in New York. Simple, too. For the trial scene, they put four women on the jury. New York hae all masculine juries.

Ineflicient System Blamed For Wreck Washington, Jan. 23—(UP)—The Chicago elevated train disaster which resulted in the death of 10 j ipersons and injuries to 59 others was caused by the lack of an effi-1 cient system to provide for the proper spacing of trains, the interstate commerce commission reported today. Director W. W. Patterson of the commission safety bureau said that a Chicago northehore, and rnilwaukee railroad train was not brought under control before it crashed into the rear end of a Chicago Rapid transit train. The report urged immediate consideration of means of providing for an adequate block signal system and elimination of wood cars from service as rapidly as practical. o Claude G.

When the Ohio river went on a rampage after an abnormal rainy period, several aections of CinI cinnati were flooded, particuia.rly in the west end,
