Hollywood Divided Over 3-D Future No 3-D Epics Now On Future Schedule j HOLLYWOOD UP — Hollywood is divided today over whether 3-D is here to stay or has fizzled out as a one-year wonder. Most movie-makers, after throwing everything at audiences from lions to corpses, have given up trying to produce a nation of filpi fans. Film studios are busy now with wide-screen or Cinemascope super wide screen pictures; not one «-D epic is on a future schedule. (Even theater managers report audiences cheer when a sign flashes on the screen. “You don't need glasses for the next picture.” But an MGM musical, "Kiss Me, Kate,” surprised the cinema r..peilts by turning out a bigger hit in 3-D than in 2-D. MGM projected the dolor spectacle two ways to test how the customer's box-office dollar W2S blowing. \ The standard two- dimension?! version was shown in Houston, Rochester and Evansville, >lnd. . As the film was shot with 3-D in mind, Ann Miller’s stocking and Kathryn Grayseon’s beer mug were thrown at the camera, but they didn't fall out of the 2-D screen. The audience ducked under ’he living chorus girls in the 3-D version ‘hown in Syracuse, Columbus, and Dallas — and the movie drew more customers. Producer Jack Cummings, who made the movie, admitted the 3-D version w’as given more publicity and sxpoitatioh in those cities. 'But he insisted “it wasn't enough

to matter that much.” “We were graified at the response of tne public to 3-D,” ?he said. “Apparently 3-D is an added value, an attraction.” Other 3-D epics haven’t fared so well. Paramount’s “Those Redheads from Seattle,” filmed in 3-D, was released in areas n regular 2-D. \ v -J “We just had a better picture.” said Cummings. The story s.tillf is the thtyig. ‘From Here to Eternity’ would look projected on a postage stamp.

Commission meetings in September had three top issues to tackle: a $300,000 expansion of the city water supply, increases in municipal revenue through higher wateA rates, stray dogs. frade In ar good Town — Decatu*

Bees vs. Balloons I LONGMEADOW, Mass., UP — As decorations for a garden fete, the American Legion flew a number of gaily decorated balloons over the affair. But a swarm of vees appeared and punctured every balloon. “White animal” is the meaning cf the opossum’s name. It comes from either “w r abassin,” an Objibway' word, or an Algonquin word. Some authorities claim the name comes from the fact that the opossum has opposable first hind toes, meaning that these toes work very much like human thumbs.

Dog Population On Increase In Nation Increases At Rate M Os 900,000 Yearly WASHINGTON, UP — Before long we may have to do E-omething about people to make room for a lot of dogs. The plain facts are that the dog population in the United States is increasing at the rate of over SOO.OOO a year. Lady dogs have litters' which run from four and five to sometimes up to 18 or 2C. TheHe facts are revealed in what a tin-can company, which recently made a survey, likes to call the “tin-zey” report. The company is anxious to say that the count of dog-ears stemmed from the fact that the outfit puts up dog vittles in tin cans. The tin outfit also, while it was about it, counted cats. The results are rather astounding. \ As of now, there are 22,600,000 dogs in this land of the free, «t which more, than half live in the outlands where they have mo’-e room to romp and play than in a crowded city like Washington. The cat count runs up to 26,700,000, most of them of the alley or barn variety. Very few of them are in the cat book of blue-bloods. The. survey ishows that “even though cats outnumbered dogs, they are concentrated in fewer households." The average family that has cats around has 2.21 of them. The average dog-owning family has only 1.3 L * “ "" - | HOUSTON, Tex., UP — Maxie Champagne received k license to open a beer tavern here.
