The “tank” is an oversized swim- ming pool, surrounded on three sides by a cyclorama of grey which substitutes admirably for far hori- zons in sea scenes. For waves gaso- line motors on the far side, out of camera range, can churn up a stiff running surf. The other day Loretta Young and David Niven, both fully clothed, spent hours being “dunked” after the collision of their sailboats. Joel McCrea, wearing swimming “trunks and a flannel beach robe, spent hours on a rocky, dry projection in the corner of the tank, all ready to help out in the rescue under Wil- liam Seiter’s direction for “Three Blind Mice.” Preparations All Wet By lunch-time the collision busi- ness, and the scene in which Lo- retta (who really can’t swim) knocks out Niven to lug him to shore bhad been finished. What had to be done in the afternoon was the scene in which Loretta and Niven crawl up on McCrea’s rock. Clad in dry duplicates of their morning costumes—sailing duds— the pair descended gingerly from the rock into the water where several prop-men, in trunks, worked and swam. Niven dunked himself com- pletely, his head emerging dripping. Loretta threw back her head to sop her hair thoroughly, and they were ready. Sitting on the rock, feet dang- ling - in the water, both splashed water over themselves to stay drip- DR. J. W.

Moving The Rock ( Then for a second “take” they wanted to move the rock, or the little rock beside the big one. This should have been a tough job: we waited around to see the fun. We pictured a half-dozen prop-men in there pushing and groaning. But what happened? They slung a long rope under the rock, did a little easy tugging—from the dry floor— and the heavy business glided along smoothly—on casters. (But it wasn’t €0 heavy, at that—just a framework rock.) All this time Loretta Young and David Niven stayed in the water, up to their chins—“We've got to,” called Loretta, “we were freezing up there!” PAUL BROWN INBIG TIME | paul Brown, former member of | The Empire’s advertising staff, bask- | et ball player, crooner and orchestra| leader on the side, under the name| of Paul Page, has crashed into the big time. Announcements have been receiv- | ed in Juncau stating that he has| signed a contract for the summer as the featured singer with the big, bands (Griff Williams now) playing | in Chicago at the Edgewater Beach| Hotel. Incidently, it is also announc- ed, that he sigrned a five year con-! tract with the National Broadcast- ing Company. e FUNERAL SERVICES FOR MRS. J.

At first Cesare was skeptical of both. When vi reports began tc appear his opinion changed. He was happy to see Mussolini’s enthusi- st arms justified. But C e has no illu- sions about the inexhaustibility of Ttaly’s material resources and he wonders how long Ttalian economy could resist a drawn-out major war. The country’s tax burden is heavy, but it weighs more on the business man and property owner than on him. For his part he is called upon to pay an income tax totaling about nine and one-half t and a tax on his apartment which in his case amounts to $13 a Taxes on gas and electricity as well multiple indirect levies take another slice from his pay. Fascism has brought Cesare ad- vantages in the way of sicknes unemployment and old age insur- ance, regulated pay and indemni- ties if he is discharged. He likes them, although occasionally he is baffled by the bureaucratic com- plexities they entail. Cesare cheers Mussolini and takes his Fascist discipline casually. New Type Auto Plans Confirmed NEW . YORK, May 18. — The World-Telegram says Emile E. G Mathis, French motor manufactur« er, today confirmed reports -that he and Alex Wenner-Gren, Swedish industrialist, were planning a new type of automobile powered by a radial motor in the rear and de- signed to sell for $500 or less. Tentative plans call for manufac- | ture of the car in France, England, Sweden and the United States, with the American plant to be located near New York, Mathis said the car was designed to go fifty to sixty miles on a gal- lon of gasoline, and the motor would have seven, eight or nine | cylinders. Maximum speed, he said, would be about fifty miles per hour. el MARTHA SOCIETY Tce crenm social and luneheon, Friday, May 20, starting at 11 o’clock. adv.
