They were battling through mangrove swamps. cocoanut groves, undulating grasslands and clumps of trees, and filtering up the streams, where crocodiles lurked waiting to attack the wounded. There was every Indication that despite losses, which the United States navy command certainly calculated In advance would Ire severe, the United States forces, naval, land and aerial, were approaching their objective of occupying Islands In the Tulagi area as the first step in pushing the Japanese back toward home. Gen Douglas MacArthur's Allied planes, co-operating with the Solomon Islands forces under Adm. Chester M, Nimitz, commander In chief of the Pacific fleet, and Vice Adm. Robert Lee Ghormley, commanding in the South Pacific, kept up without pause their biggest offensive of the war. Striking relentlessly at enemy shipping and airdromes from which the strong Japanese defense forces in the Solomons might be reinforced. -MacArthur's men attacked again yesterday over the 2.700-mlle aerial front. In one of their most convincing victories of the war, the Allied planes In a raid over New Guinea definitely destroyed two Japanese aero fighters, damaged three so severely they probably were destroyed and damaged the remaining two of a fleet of seven of the enemy's heat planes which challenged them. One Allied plane was lost. This success, in a blazing fight over the little Island of Samara! off the extreme southeast tip of New Guinea, brought the unofficial toll of Japanese planes in four days to 26 A big night attack was made on the airdrome Rabaul In the Bismarck Islands northwest of the Solomons the biggest enemy base In the northeastern zone, and direct hits were observed near the runway.

They must be at once fearful and sympathyexciting. Another secret of making successful monsters is to achieve the effect of the greatest possible economy of detail and transformation. "Dracula." played by Bela Lugoei, was perhaps the simplest of my creations while Frankenstein's monster was the moot challenging and the one of which I am proudest. One highly important factor in his success was the makeup I concocted to give his features an uncanny bkxxDea* look. (Incidentally, the 'Frankenstein" monster has been one of my major problems. It will be recalled that the original creator was Borts Karloff. Ho was succeeded by Lon Chaney. Jr. | Now Karloff la a relatively small, slight man with sunken cheeks and an elongated face. Chaney, on the 1 other hand, is tall, Jtulking. roundfaced. I had to re-mold Chaney's face to establish it in the characteristics already identified by Kari MF* as th* monster's.

Deny Fifth Column Activity In East 'No Hostile Motive' From Ground Siqns New York, Aug. 12. — ll'Pf — Lleut.-Gen. Hugh Drum, in command of the eastern defense command. said today that "no hostile motive" could be inferred from ground signs pictured in a release by the first air force on Monday and that tbe responsibility for release of the photographs and a report implying enemy action on the east coast is under investigation. The photographs and report released by Major Lynn Farnol, public relations officer at Mltchei Field, concerned ground marks which were eaid to point the way for airplanes to vital war bases, including airfields and airplane factories. The war department said yesterday that the report "may lie untrue" and Lieut. Gen. Drum was asked to investigate. In a statement today, Gen. Drum said: "The three cases included in the story released were reported in March and June of this year. Following normal Intelligence procedure investigations were made with the conclusion that no hostile motive could be attached to any one of the incidents in question. "The responsibility and the reasons for the release of the photographs and the story at this time are now under investigation and appropriate action will be taken in due time.” o

Man." had to carry a convincing resemblance. , r(1( Most demanding and one of the most interesting of my assignments was the mummy characterization for Karloff in "The Mummy.” To begin with, I obtained photographs of the most perfect mummy known. Prince Syti, father of Rameses 11, in the Cairo museum. This we carefully duplicated. Bringing our duplicate to life—in the person of Karloff—presented a major problem. It started with a simple flicker of an eyelid. Then gradually he broke from his "3,500-year-old" wrapping* of gauze. Literally hundreds of yard* of material had to be painstakingly prepared for this physical awakening. It was treated with acids and flame to give it the semblance of age and to cause it to crack and slough off in powdery fragment*. This was extremely delicate work, since after it was treated and fragile as cobweb, Mr. Karloff had to be wrapped in it When I consider the matter I am reminded that but a few important change* have been made possible in “horror" invention in a dozen year* I recall, however, that when we made H. G. Wells' "The Invisible Man," Claude Rain* head had to be wrapped a dozen time* a day in gauze. Thia was slow and tedious. Subsequently, when we made the sequel with Vincent Price, "The Invisible Man Returns.” we seized upon th* then new zipper and sipped the slit wrapping up the back of the head. About the only other new thing involved In monster creation is rubber But personally I don't like It and use it only under protest I prefer the simplest ttem* of makeup — natural material*. The ' bone ' of the 'Trankenstein" monster * ponderous forehead is built up with a special type of cotton, for instance. Keenest disappointment of my career was being refused th* privilege of making up the Great Liam 1 in Lost Horizon " This was don* with a rubber mask, contrary to my personal conception, and my conviction ui that the best effect was not achieved.
