Blue Skies and Balmy Breezes Give City Gala Week-End at Parks, Swimming Pools and Golf Links

And the bicycle riders were out in the parks, where they could ride without traffic dangers. The younger element, as represented by (left to right) June Holtman, 630 E. Onrs | St., and Rosemary Snyder, 806 Weghorst St., excelled here.

Foursomes were plentiful on all golf courses, which did near capacity business. At the | Sarah Shank course were (left to right) Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Anderson, 1319 N, New Jersey St, and Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Thomas, 1928 Broadway.

Under a brilliant sky and fanned by an air - conditioned breeze, Ynaianapotis yesterday chose up sides and had a good time relaxing in parks and playgrounds. At Garfield Park the swings were full.

JR LYRoon. July 17.—Tricks of the trade: All the scenes for ) “The Wizard of Oz” have been “in the can.” as they say, for a couple of months. But the sound experts are still working full blast. And “blast” is right, becuase thev're booming and buzzing, clanking and swishing, howling and thundering. They're making noises that nobody ever heard before; yet they hope these sounds will be recognizable to the audiences. The shrieking of the vortex of a cyclone was one of the least of their problems. A tougher job was recording the buzzing of a jitterburg. The introduction of a jitterbug ~~ into an I. Frank Baum story may be questionable cinematic license. But they've got one, anyway, and the sound men had to make it audible. After trying a lot of ordinary schemes and not getiing anything unearthly enough, they went out to a quiet place and shot 22-calibre rifle bullets at the slanting blade of an ax. Microphones recorded the fierce whine of the flattened slugs as thev ricocheted. These =ounas, placed on a continuous film track and amplified, now accompany the jitterbug in flight,

creatures must sound real but strange.

ought to stump the ornithologists. In finishing the average picture, besides the visual film, there are three other films of equal length carrving speech, musical score and occasional incidental sounds. For some sequences in “The Wizard of Oz.” engineers have had to juggle as many as 10 sound tracks at 8 time, finally synchronizing | and recording them all on the completed single film. » » » NE of the most difficult scenes to shoot is a dancing couple on a crowded floor, when the camera must move to keep | them in closeup and the microphone goes along to eavesdrop on their dialog. For one thing, there's 1he rhythm to be maintained by all the dancers, and the shot must be made without music—which later is dubbed in—if conversation is to be recorded. So a record plays a few bars to set the tempo and get everybody | started, but it is shut off when the scene begins. Without music, the noise of shuffling feet usually | is too loud, so all the dancers whose fet, don't show must wear grotesque flannel footwarmers over their shoes. Generally the camera iz mounted on a small rubber-tired truck called a “dolly,” and is pushed around the floor by the crew. But then it's difficult to keep the principal couple in focus, so they're held at the proper distance bv having to dance within a wire hoop which is attached to the camera tripod. » » »

OR. a baliroom scene in “The Old Maid,” the timing was so complicated that Bette Davis and George Brent weren't allowed to waltz at all. They stood on a very platform projecting from the camera dolly and swayed their shoulders and merely shuffled their feet. Meanwhile, they and the camera and the sound apparatus were pushed around among the other dancers. “You don’t belong in a place like this,” murmured Brent, for about the tenth attempt at the scene, “You're right, George,” replied Miss Davis, breaking 1u up again. “I'm getting dizzy on this darned thing, and I stepped on the hem of my dress.”
