it on the set, it is Hollywood’s most dramatic scene of the new year. Just across the way at Paramount, a weary troupe of actors is trying to get a scene with two young colts. It’s for “The Lady's From Kentucky” and the actors can’t go home until the scene is finished because one of the colts, born 24 hours before, will soon be too old for his role. George Raft, Ellen Drew and Hugh Herbert are in a stable yard gathered around the wobbly-legged foal. The troublemaker in the scene is a three-month-old colt, aptly named Cantankerous, that is supposed to stalk up and nudge the I foal. A trainer is lying underneath a bench, out of sight of the camera, trying to lure Cantankerous with a bowl of food. But Cantankerous merely looks at him and lets out a defiant whinny. “Here, here," says Herbert, "you wouldn’t do that on a De Mille set!" Cantankerous shies in Herbert’s direction and Hugh jumps behind Raft. “Vicious beast! Vicious beast!" he says. “Woo, woo!” When actors aren’t handy, Herbert will even steal a scene from a colt. On the “Kid From Kokomo” set we come across Bridegroom Wayne Morris. Wayne is wearing boxing trunks and a red silk bath robe and is watching

with relish while four expugs use Actor Al Hall as a burn an batteringram to break through a balsa wood door. “This picture is full of screwy gags like that,” says Wayne "We do everything but throw Pies at each

other. I bet when 'The Kid From Kokomo’ comes out. Mack Sennett will turn over in his grave." Bridegrooms are entitled to be absent minded but not to this extent. We gently put Wayne right that Mack is very much alive. He grins and says: “I guess these boxing pictures are getting me punch drunk."

COLORS IN THE SKY We take the color of the sky pretty much for granted and only when we see an unusually gorgeous sunset do we even stop to look at it. But suppose that the brilliant colors of the sky and clouds could only be seen on one day ir. toe year That would be oui greatest annual holiday. Everybody would be out from early morning till lato at night to admire the sight. Every newspaper in the country would carry a story about ’t. and weather news might | easily crowd politics and crime off • the front page and the movies would carry it in technicolor. On the moon, cur neighboring | world, there is no blue sky and no - colors at sunset, and every day is l exactly like every other day up l there. The moon has no atmos- l phere, and not a trace of wind or | cloud. No rain ever falls on the | moon The sky up there is al-' ways block, no matter even if the sun is shining. On the earth just the reverse is true. This is on , account of our air. Our air makes I the day colored and beautiful,*and ' modifies harsh raw sunlight into . a myriad of soft tones of color. When light rays touch the air of the earth they are scattered. Ail, you remember, is made of molecules, or little particles, like grains of sand, only much smaller. These molecules are always quivering with motion. When light shines on them, some of it is reflected f.om one molecule to the next. When you look at the sun you s«e its disk of light surrounded by a glare from the earth's atmosphere. A little farther away from the sun, where the light is not quite so intense, the air shines with a blue color. When the sun

This redness is ' greatly increased should there be I any water vapor in the air. for I water vapor strongly absorbs blue light while permitting red light to I pass through. When the sun or ! moon glows red. it means that ; there is much vapor in the air. I and a storm is not far off. You | can enjoy and admire the next ' sunset you see —while the weather prophet standing next to you may »coff and say. “I’ll bet it , rains lx fore tomorrow!" WEATHER QUESTIONS . Q. Where could I get an instrument to measure sunshine, or how could I make one? C. A. S. A. Get an ordinary pocket mirror, stand facinq the light and look at the pupils of your own eyes. If the light it strong, your pupils will be small, but if it is dim, they will be large. If more accuracy is required a light-meter is necessary. They can be had at photo supply houses. Q Will there be a down current of sir beneath a small cloud? Some of my friends argue that upcurrents will be found. Will you decide t'),s matter for us? C.S. A. The air current beneath
