Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Coons. HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Feb. 27.—Yourg Tom Edison was facing an embarrassing moment, and Spencer Tracy was playing it in the quiet Tracy way. Edison then was working in Newark, N. J., and he wasn't making much money. Today he had dropped into a lunch house for a cup of coffee, for which he had the dime, and while he was there the attractive Miss Mary Stilwell came in and ordered the 35-cent lunch. Edison had met her, and before he knew it he had insisted on taking her check. The scene now was at the cashier’s counter, and the cashier was saying “No!" very de- cidely as Tracy-Edison asked for credit. Miss Stilwell (Rita John- son) solved the dilemma by dropping a silver dollar to the floor. “You dropped that, Mr. Edison,” she remarked demurely, as be- came his future helpmeet. This is a bit of fiction in the film version of the great inventor’s life—an incident that could have happened even if it didn’t The movies are more considerate than life. If such an inei~ dent reddened Thomas A. Edison's face in fact the inventor had simply to grin and bear it. Tracy-Edison now, in the same situation, has merely to turn his head and see, two years in the future and a few miles away, the scene of his future exploits. For the lunch-house set in Newark is less than 50 feet from the Edison laboratory in Menlo Park—a set in “Edison The Man” constructed with a passion for accuracy that would doubtless please the Menlo wizard where he alive. Making doubly sure of this is the presence of William A. Simond, curator of Henry Ford’s Greenfield Village near Dear- s \WELCOME!

The laboratory as it was in Edison's day has been duplicated again in Hollywood—from a dozen reels of film shots at Green- field, from scores of still pictures, from blueprints, from working models of original Edison inventions. This set is on the second floor of the Edison laboratory. Downstairs (on another set) is the Edison machine shop, but here, in the barn-like wooden structure lit by kerosene lamps and gas jets, is where Edison developed the phonograph, the electric light, and other great discoveries. “It's amazing,” Simonds says, “the way these boys have made these models—and they work!" Edison’s early phonograph, hand-operated by a crank, is on & work-bench the inventor’s humorously conceived but ex- tremely practical “waker-upper” for tired assistants—a wooden scraping clapper which when cranked emits an ungodly noise. All his equipment for electric light experiments (with which Tracy must work) is there; at one end the ipe organ on which he playved relaxation; and his own version of Bell's tele- phone His first important invention, the one that never sold, is there too. It's a vote-recorder for legislative bodies. Edison took it to Washington and found no interest in electric vote-recording. It may seem odd, in a movie about Edison, that his work on the movies is not touched. It isn't odd. Edison's con- tributions to the screen came after his days of struggle were ended. A screen drama, even about the man who made modern movies possible, must have struggle. near for
