the Vogue Theater will open a three-day run. The film fis sponsored by the Indianapolis Aero Club with the Indianapolis Pilots Association, the 113th Observation Squadron of the Indiana National Guard and the American Legion Aviation Post. One of the purposes of the movie is to arouse interest in Spook flying, Walter B. Smith, club president, said. Spook flying is amateur piloting with small ships, the first step in building up hours in air necessary to obtain transport licenses. Shots in the film will include mass flying at the airport, gliding, gas and glider models. It will be the first of its kind in Indianapolis. = ” =

ANOTHER FIRST is the “Wizard of Oz” parade Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer put on for the “Wizard of Oz” vesterday. The unusual angle is the picture having already been shown at house.

Makeup Man's Hair-Raising Job No Cinch, Inquiry Shows

OLLYWOOD, Sept. 20.—"You ought to write a story,” said Jack Pierce, “about how we makeup men haven't got quite the cinch job

that outsiders seem to think.

“Lots of times visitors on the sets will say, ‘Look at the great big man running around with that powder puff and dabbing at pretty girls. I hear he gets paid good money for that! It makes me kind of mad.”

I asked, “What's the matter: haven't you got enough pretty girls in this picture?” “No,” said Pierce, “I got Karloff. I also got Richard III, Edward IV, Henry Tudor and Henry VI, and I am supposed to make the actors really look something like those old guys.

Richard III, has to have several |

I said to Pierce, "Well, at least you don't have to worry about a wig for Karloff.” “But I do!” exclaimed the makeup man. “I got to put a wig on him when he goes home from the studio. He wouldn't let us shave his head until we had a wig all ready. He said, “Why, I'd look horrible!’ “He looks horrible now, all right.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MOVIES

By HARRY MORRISON

Lion Trainer Has Easy Job Watching Just Wizard and Oz.

“Wizard of Oz.” They drew Dorothy's carriage in the picture. They drew the same carriage through the streets of Indianapolis yesterday. Five Indianapolis children were dressed as the movie's chief characters. In most of the towns there were four boys and one girl to take the roles and the ride. Here there were four girls and a boy. It was different here for no particular reason at all. The ponies, in some way familiar only to movie people and magicians, are named Wizard and Oz. They are four and five years old, respectively. It's been a little over a year since the picture was started. Much the same thing happened to Capt. Phifer when he started this promotion business in 1910. Then he took two elephants across the continent for the Coca-Cola Co. The elephants, oddly enough, were named Coca and Cola.

” " » CAPT. PHIFER was born in the business of animal training. The family has been in the business for five generations, The first job he had with animals and movies was with the Selig Producing Co. in Chicago.

Teddy Roosevelt was hunting lions in Africa and the film company put out a picture about it. They didn’t go to Africa, though. They hired Capt. Phifer’s. animals and took them to Florida. They did other sequences in the company’s Chicago studios. Col. Roosevelt saw the film first in Berlin. It was a pretty good picture for those days, except there were a couple of polar bears that hardly belonged in Africa. . “Mr. Selig hired the whole circus,” laughed Capt. Phifer, “and he probably wanted to get his money's worth.” Col. Roosevelt sued the rcompany. That was one of the best pieces of exploitation he has ever seen, according to Capt. Phifer. They brought the film out again and made more than the orig-

inal take. Ww ” »

CAPT. PHIFER figures he has traveled almost 400.000 miles in the business of transporting animals of all description to all parts of the world. He took Leo, the Lion (M-G-M trademark), around the world. That trip took four vears and one month and totaled 160,000 miles. He took Leo to a Boston radio station one day in 1932. Leo was going to growl into the mike for the edification of all the fans. The press had reporters and cameramen there. They were perched nervously on top of a scaffolding around the room. All went pretty well for a while. A couple of reporters were getting brave about the whole thing. Then Leo dropped all pretence

CAPT. VOLNEY PHIFER is a great big door-filler of a man. And he has a job that just about fits him. He's an animal trainer and he was in town yesterday with one of his less fearsome assignments. He is taking a couple of mild little Shetland ponies on a cross-country tour . They are the ponies that were used in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's

Everyone ran like mad. The lion stopped, turned and went through a plate glass window after another newsman. There have been rumors the window was made of the candy sugar stuff they use in Hollywood. The same source said Capt. Phifer had given Leo a playful little punch. Nothing has ever been proved, Says the Captain: “I think he was just bored.”
