Baffled by Tough Ones? Call Up Property Division

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 24 (U. P.).—In a play presented a few years ago, one of the biggest laughs came when one character in the movie drama said, “Our property department can do anything.” The assertion, to be sure, was extravagant, but there is a department at Paramount studio which skirts almost to the edge of such claims. It is.the Operations desk. _ Tough problems that cannot be solved by other subdivisions of the studio are sent to Operations. Operations says it has never been stumped. Recently a studio executive found

himself in the peculiar situation of expecting an important overseas telephone call from France and at the same time having a date for a golf game during which he was to discuss an equally vital business deal. He called Operations. It was simple. The executive went to the golf links and at the fifth hole he got his call from France. Operations had strung a special line from the nearest phone cable for him. When William A. Wellman, pro-ducer-director of “The Light That Failed,” prepared to take his troupe on location at Santa Fe, N. M,, he wanted to keep in touch with his wife, who was expecting the arrival of a child. He called Operations. It set up a sub-station to a teletype machine at her bedside, and the Wellmans were able to exchange messages at any time of the day or night.

Leslie Howard Fiddles—but It Took

Two Good Helpers to Do Dirty Work

OLLYWOOD, Aug. 24—Tricks of the trade: In the forthcoming “Intermezzo,” Leslie Howard is supposed to be a concert- violinist and Sweden’s Ingrid Bergman is his new accompanist. From then on, it’s “Hearts and Flowers.” Miss Berman can give an excellent imitation of a Planis, but Mr. Howard is a very bad violinist. ‘He was taught to hold the instrument properly for long shots, but in closeups he needs help, lots of help. The fingers dancing on the strings belong to a musician who crouches below with only hand and forearm in camera range. Also just out of range, at the right, is another violinist, who works the bow. Howard thinks the picture should be retitled, “Three Men on a Fiddle. »

The electric ‘horse, made famous by Calvin Coolidge, has been in the movies for years. A saddle is put on, an actor mounts, the motor gives the saddle a realistic motion, and the camera cuts the

stars from injury. For this shot, Miss Davis had to be quite close to the mirror when she struck it violently with a heavy crystal bottle, and there was danger of flying glass. Property men mulled over the problem for weeks. Then they took a mirror and on the back glued a thick coating of steel filings. The mirror was put back in its frame and behind it, out of sight, was mounted a powerful electro-magnet. Turned on, the magnet would prevent the shattered glass from flying. Turned off —just a split instant after she had struck the mirror—the magnet would allow the pieces of glass to fall harmlessly out of the frame. It worked fine. Falling fragments of glass ordinarily are not much of a hazard in movie making. Sugar candy and resin window panes are used when somebody has to go through them, but at that they're tough and hard enough to require the services of a stunt man or woman. . « « When real glass is shattered for greater realism by an explosion, players who must be near it usually are actually separated from it by a cellophane screen. . « « If players are supposed to be endangered by falling, heavy debris, they stand safely at one side, while bricks tumble around their reflections in a 45-degree mirror.

Slapsie Puts ‘Em in Dither

ancient hack at Maxie Rosenbloom'’s showing of his first starring picture Tuesday night at his Hollywood night club, of which the billing says “no cover charge, no minimum charge, no nothin’.” Added features of the premiere were free dishes to every lady. Rosenbloom, one-time light heavyweight boxing champion, clowned through two reels of typical Slapsie Maxie repartee and comedy boxing in the feature film produced by ‘Warner Brothers.
