This picture, which is a film ver- sion of the John Van Druten stage hit “After All,” brought a variety of novel problems to the technical department of the Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer studios. In one espisode, the microphone had to go up and down stairs while scenes were be- ing played in transit by Robert Young, Margaret Perry, Lewis; Stone and Laura Hope Crewes. Wore Padded Shoes It was done by having a sound technician, wearing padded shoes, go up and down the stairs just‘ out of range of the mechanical camera-holder, with the micro- phone in his hands. | In a reception scene, a buffet| uncheon was shown, but in order to make it look like real food to the camera, the caviar, ham and other highly-colored edibles, were “bleached” with vinegar. The experiment worked so well on the camera that it is expected a spec- ial “food makeup department” wiil be inaugurated at the studio for future eating scenes. Theme of Play “New Morals for Old” depicts the problems of the younger gen- eration and the conflict between reckless children and old-fashion- ed parents. Young and Miss Per- Ty represent the younger group, with Stone and Miss Crewes en- acting the roles of the conserva- | tive parents. The large cast also includes Myrna Loy, David Newell, Jean Hersholt, Ruth Selwyn, Kathryn Crawford, Louise Closser Hale, Mitchell Lewis, Elizabeth Patter- son and Lillian Harmer. The pic- ture was directed by Charles Bra- bin. Some wild yarns come out of the cloak room sessions where ball | players, coaches, old timers, gath-{ er to ease the strain on arches| falling all over the premises of | the major league baseball meet-| ings. For instance, there are the tall| tales featuring the negro teams the major leaguers meet occas- ionally on _ barnstorming trips. Partfcularly, ‘it seéms, do these outfits prosper after the sun goes down. Night baseball is their! particular forte. “There was one guy named Bell on a négro team we met in St Louis a couple of years ago,” Paul; ‘Waner suggested, “who was the| fastest thing I ever saw on the, baseball diamond. “He was on first base and the] next batter hit a single to center. This fellow Bell by that time was rounding second base and watch- ing me as he ran. He never stopped. I made a motion thinking! to get him at third.

By the time I could get the ball away, he had slid in !there, was dusting himself off and walking calmly away.” HEINE RESIGNS “That night ball” said Wanter, “i5 murderous business. “Heinie Meiné was pitching his first game against a semi-pro team for us on a barnstorming trip to St. Louis after the season closed \two years ago. “They told us that if you pitch {low, and throw nothing but curves, the batters can't see the ball Metné trled that. The next went by his head so fast, and so close, :that he walked right out of the ball game. “‘I didn't come here to get kill- ed’ he said as he walked home, jand we shoved in a new pitcher.” Otto Miller, Brooklyn coach who iwgrms up the pitcheérs, hid a word to offer. “I was warming up Van Mungo before a night exhibition game, and if you don’t know it, he's fast. “The first two balls he threw missed my head by inchés and I never saw them.
