U. S. FIGHT TO LIMIT PACKERS NEARTRIUMPH Anti-Trust Battle Begun During Administration of Wilson. B'i Times Special WASHINGTON! Aug. 30.—Proceedings to divorce the “Big Four” packers from distribution of wholesale groceries and ownership of stockyards, inaugurated by Woodrow Wilson’s Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer in 1919, may be completed when Herbert Hoover or A1 Smith’s attorney general takes office in 1929. At the Justice Department today It was stated that there is a possibility that the monumental lecord of legal wrangling precipitated by Palmer’s famous “packers consent decree” will be completed at the coming term of the United States Supreme Court, and that the decree finally will become effective ten years after it was approved. Decree Suspected Litigation over the decree has been in progress through the entire period of the Harding and Coolidge administrations. When Palmer got the big meat packing companies to agree in 1920 to get out of the business of distributing wholesale groceries and canned goods, the California Canneries protested on the ground that such an arrangement denied them a cheap and efficient distributing agency being furnished by Armoui &, Cos. After involved litigation the canneries company obtained an order from District of Columbia Court of Appeals authorizing it to intervene •and argue to have the consent decree set aside. Subsequently in 1925 the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia suspended the operation of the decree. Kill Move Balked There followed efforts on the part of the packers to have the decree wiped off the books entirely, but the United States Supreme Court at its' last term ruled against this. The court intimated it was a legal mistake on the part of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals to let the California Cooperative Canneries into the controversy in the first place, and thus open the way to have the decree set aside. Now the Department of Justice is seeking a Supreme Court ruling to that effect, and if it is granted the decree,, in the opinion of the Justice Department, will become valid and binding on the big packing companies.

HOW THE VITAPHONE REGISTERS SOUND Movie Fan Told How Dramatic Effects Are Recorded in the Word and Sound Playlet, ‘The Alibi/ With Harlan. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN MY mail has been heavy with requests lately concerning how Vitaphone registers both sound and (he spoken word. I have just received from Warner Brothers a detailed statement regarding how Vitaphone recording and direction is accomplished. The data from Warner Brothers is as follows _

Obtaining actors whose voices are capable of reading dramatic lines in character is not the only difficulty that confronts talking motion picture directors. Sound effects are now playing a very important part in all Vitaphone productions and difficulties in getting them realistically are among the problems of the director of sound-sight films. These sounds must come to the ear of the audience as they do from the actual thing in real life. Only the actual sound, such as the report of a revolver shot, a knock at the door, or the ringing of a telephone bell, can be used in order to record the proper effect desired. The properties used to make the sounds in Vitaphone films have to be selected with just as much care and thought as the players who are seen and heard on the screen. As an example of the use of a real working property which is heard on the screen as well as seen, Vitaphone officials point to the playlet “The Alibi,” in which Kenneth Harlan enacts the starring role. This melodrama of the underworld called for the use of a burglar alarm, the keyboard of which was situated in the office of the chief of police. During the unfolding of the story, a bank is robbed. At that moment the alarm rings in the police chief's office, sending him and his detectives to the scene of the crime. In order that the ringing could be heard on the screen and produce a dramatic effect, it had to be a real burglar alarm. The ringing of the bell and the sounds of the intricate mechanism denoting the exact location of the burglary had to be the actual sounds of the instrument. Vitaphone directors obtained a working burglar alarm from a Hollywood bank to get the realism of its peculiar noises. With the Vitaphone cameras grinding, the action proceeded. As the burglar alarm rang out. the dial buzzed signalling the location. The effect upon the Vitaphone screen is that of a real instance of robbing a bank as it was synchronized as it would actually happen.
