HOLLYWOOD, Cal., April 4—That triumph of tricker: Cycleps,” taught Albert Dekker a few tricks too. Dekker them azain, but he has them down pat. Te knows how to talk to people who aren't there Dekker, as the mad scientist who learned how to “reduce’ nermal human beings to toy size, and had a lot of macabre fun in the process, worked six months on the picture. The rest of the with him only three weeks.

Many were done by rear- jection photography, the little people previously photographed and projected into the scenes with Dekker, the composite being d All this had to be figured out mathematically by Director Ernest Schoedsack and his fore. The pieces had to be fitted together more intricately than any jigsaw puzzle. It was Dekker’s job, then, to fit his every move into the whole without crossing up the plans, He could not set down a book or a coffee cup without knowing exactly where he should place it in relation to what already had been shot. He figuratively had to toe marks, with every action, when the marks were invisible. With all this, he needn’t have bothered too much with his WELCOME!

I went out to see him on “Horrow Row’—so-named because Bela Lugosi lives a few doors from the Dekker house. A less terrifying person couldn’t have been planted there: Albert Van Dekker, late of the New York stage, was taking a plump two- year-old sprite named Jana, his daughter, ‘for a walk. I found him very cheerful about the whole thing, although for three year he has been in town looking for a “break” that didn’t ,come—until “Strange Cargo” and “Dr. Cyclops.” The Dek- kers, he related philosophically, were borke frequently, but he worked often enough, at long intervals, to keep them going. ‘When he left Bowdoin College, intending to study psychiatry, he undertook the theatre on urging of a friend, and he made a good go of it. He always had expected to come to Hollywood with a contract, and carfare paid. But that didn't materialize, so he took an agent's offer of $500 (to cover expenses) and came out. A month later, he had a small part in “The Great Garrick.” | Then the pickings were lean. Jana arrived, and the matter be- | came serious. Her parents were set to return east when a friend | talked them out of it, offered them free use of a one-room apart- ‘[ ment, and they stuck it out. | Characters always have been his specialty (he’s still a psychia- | | trist at heart), and his Russian Cossack in “Hotel Imperial” brought } him a Paramount test. During his “broke” periods, at least two producers told Dek- ‘ ker they could “use him"—and then he couldn't get in to see | them. | I believe he can see them now, if he’s interested. ; lIllllIIIIIHIHIHIIHHHHIIHHMHHMHHIIHHHLMMHHHIIIHHHIIIHI § There is no substitute for Newspaper Advertising | came | lio | Johnson a | n brilliant perforr | make ‘xn A.
