TALK OF FEEDING | ~ GRAIN TO STOCK Is HEARD LESS OFTEN Fairly Liberal Rains In Many Sections Have Proved Big Help to Farmers EARLY GRAINS HARVESTED| Northeastern Montana Shows Good Returns; Improvement Over August Forecast Seen Talk of feeding wheat to livestock is quite common but feed crops in Minnesota and the eastern half of North Dakota are turning out much better than expected, so that feeding of wheat is not expected to assume large proportions except in the hard- est hit of the drouth areas for some time, the Farmers Union Terminal association says in its weekly crop report. “Fairly liberal rains in much of the Dakotas and western Minnesota have revived pastures to some extent and improved the feed situation,” the re- port says. “As a result, little actual feeding of wheat is likely until pas- tures are not longer available. “With harvesting of early grains completed and only small areas of grain except corn and flax left uncut, crop news soon will be a thing of the past for the 1930 season. “Returns from the threshing ma- chines in northeastern Montana are running far ahead of expectations. Most of the wheat in centrai eastern Montana is turning out fair yields. Central Montana and much of west- ern North Dakota, however, will show little improvement over the August 1 forecast. Yields Gocd in Stutsman “Stutsman county, North Dakota, Teports wheat yields of 8 to 18 bush- els; oats 20 to 50 bushels; and barley, up to 24. Wheat around Lisbon, En- derlin, Sheldon and La Moure in cen- tral southern North Dakota is run- ning 20 to 30 bushels-in places and corn is good. “Summarizing the situation for all crops, it would seem that estimated production in the spring wheat area for all crops except flax and possibly corn, will have to be revised upward in the next government crop report. “The recent rains, which halted threshing, were welcome, but more rain is needed for pastures in most sections of the state. “The purchasing power of the grain farmers of the Northwest has been teduced by 40 to 45 per cent as a re- jult of the decline in prices for wheat, tlook for F This memorable scene from “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” shows Chaney in his grotesque and painful make-up as Quasimodo, which he describes in this story.

Editor's Note: This is the second of a series of six stories by Dan Thomas, Hollywood cor- respondent of The Tribune and NEA Service, on the life of Lon Chaney, the movies’ greatest character actor. Today, Thomas tells of the star’s remarkable genius as a make-up artist. * * * By DAN THOMAS '\ NEA Service Writer (Copyright, 1930, NEA Service, Inc.) Hollywood, Calif., Sept. 3—Of all the malformed and evil-looking crea- tures with which Lon Chaney led movie-goers through a series of de- lectable nightmares, perhaps his greatest role was that of Quasimodo, the hairy one-eyed dwarf in “The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.” “I covered my face with a\ new one, blanked out an eye with a shell that I painted over, got a mouthful of false teeth and was strapped in a harness,” Chaney once related in ex- how he made up for the Part. “I actually had nothiz¢ of my own but one eye to play tne part tye and most other grains in the past year. “On a cash basis from 55 to 65 cents ® bushel is being paid fer wheat in the country compared with 95 cents charges, as cash wheat is now ap- proximately 85 cents a busiiel in the Minnesota terminals. New Basis Dishcartening “On a loan basis, the decline is ven more disheartening to the grain with. Hurt? Of course, it hurt—but it’s all a part of the game.” But Lon Chaney's art lay not in make-up alone. Victor Hugo, in the novel, made Quasimodo the demon of the Middle Ages; Chaney, by ‘his powerful interpretation of the little hunchback, gave him a soul. Of course, you remember the pic- ture .... the hairy bell ringer, creeping ape-like around the sculp- tured gargoyles, feared by those who didn’t revile him, half man and. half devil, savior of the girl to whom hé producer.

As repulsive in appearance as the master genius of make-up could de- vise, audiences nevertheless found something to pity in this misshapen lump that might hgve been a man had the fates kinder. That “something” was put there by Chaney. sek As the legless man in “The Pen- alty,” Chaney effected the illusion by having his legs strapped behind him. “We had to stop every few min- utes,” he explained, “to remove the straps and massage my legs -which had grown numb. The pain was pretty tough.” “Thunder,” in which Chaney play- ed the part of an old railroad en- Gineer, sent him to a hospital because Chaney's Hideous Makeup, That Made Folks Shudder, Cost Him Great Pain TRTRETER ee Chaney Without Makeup ] | i \@ j Here is Chaney as the hard - boiled ; Sergeant O'Hara, in “Tell It to the Marines,” the picture in which he even face powder. he insisted on riding in a locomotive cab in near-zero weather with the window open. The price of his slanting eyes in “Mr. Wu,” his greatest Chinese role, was pain that lasted for days, caused by the use of adhesive tape to keep the outer corners of his eyes pulled backward, and upward. * * * Some sort of a price in the form of self-imposed: torture was paid for nearly all his other famous’ roles.

The armless circus freak in “The Unknown,’ in which he had his arms bound closely to his sid The paralyzed African trader in “West of Zanzibar,” who dragged himself around with his hands. The Dracula-like vampire in “Lon- don After Midnight,” in which he used a chemical to distend his eyes after a formula prepared by an ocu- list. The hideous, slinking creature of the cellar in “The Phantom of the Opera.” The long-haired Sergei in his Rus- sian drama, “Mockery.” The sad-hearted circus clown in “He Who Gets Slapped.” The fiend-like Gaspard the Good in “The Trap,” his north woods drama of revenge. The grandmotherly old woman and Prof. Echo, the ventriloquist, whose. parts he played in “The Unholy Three.” *He made one picture in which he wore no make-up at all—not even powder. That was “Tell It to the Marines,” in which Chaney played the hard-boiled Sergeant O'Hara. It Proved one of his greatest successes; his acting did it. : x ek OK Chaney's success at make-up was j Not gained at the price of pain atuice. For years after he first tackled Holly. wood as an “extra,” he spent several hours each day. before his: mirror, putting make-up on and taking it off just to see what he could do. After he got to be a star, he often spent thfee hours a day making dp; in the filming of “Mr. Wu” he arrived at the studio regularly at 6 a. m. so he could have his make-up completed Nan the cameras began grinding at 9. He visited police courts,, water- front dives and all sorts of places in search of types. The pictures in the rogues’ gallery at police headquarters proved a gold mine; his sinister, leer- ing “Singapore Joe” whose blind eye he simulated by inserting a milky glass eye under his own lid, was one of the rogue gallery's. products. Layer on layer he built up his face to change its appearance, using putty or plastic wax for the purpose. Lines he graved thereon with a sharp trac- er. rs he imitated with chemicals. Cotton ‘stuffed in his jaws to make his face puff out; bits of rubber worn in his nostrils to make his nose ap- Pear flat; hidden face clamps to warp his features; false teeth that fitted over his own; wigs, artificial eye- brows and the like—all these were the implements of his trade. i * kk Chaney had none of those eccen- tricities like Richard Mansfield, his famous predecessor of the legitimate theater, who is said to have com- Pelled stage hands to wear soft-soled Shoes so they would not make a sound during his great dramatic mo- ments. Lon was congenial with everybody around the studio.’ But.he was a hard worker—as hard as any Hollywood has ever seen. He went into his roles with an in- tensity that might lead one to be- lieve: he had hypnotized himself into actually living the part of the cripple or the deformed man whom he play- ed. All else seemed forgotten. But the instant the cameras ceased to grind Chaney was himself again. “He's just like an electric light— he switches himself on and off,” a studio peecen once described it. * * Of all the horrible demons in hu- man form that Chaney’s fantastic mind conceived and his genius of was more hideous than the and masked cellar creature who haunts the memory of those who -|saw “The Phantom of the Opera.” The great moment came when this ville ge pally cornered and his mask was wn, revealing a face that nothing less than a equal fore pure horror.
