Mc- Zinley. He was Daniel M. Brodehl of Seattle, whose fine, two-year-old vessel Tahoe, valued at $32,000, sank in a storm near Kodiak recently. Brodehl said he had left McCord, Sitkalin Island, for Kodiak when seams of the Tahoe opened in a 45-mile per hour gale half a mile off Humpback Light, Long Island. Un- able to bail the vessel, Brodehl got off in a lifeboat and watched the Tahoe founder and go under. Tossed by the storm, the lifeboat finally reached shore, but was “com- pletely demolished,” as Brodehl put it, when it was pounded on the beach. He was unhurt. Captain Brodehl made a casualty report to the Collector of Custoim here. - Empire Classifieds Pay!

It was a heller and a humdinger; a shivery, shattering, shud- dery thing that in two minutes wrecked a house, a garden, and backgreund buildings — yet at the same time was one of the best behaved earthouakes one could wish. It should have been. In the movies, the more terrible and unexpected a catastrophe, the more carefully must it be rehearsed and planned. George Stevens, the director, rehearsed this one for five hours before, around midnight, they “shot” it. The earth- quake is a key sequence in “Penny Serenade.” In this same Jap- anese house, two-storied and quaint, Cary Grant and Irene Dunne had been doing peaceful, romantic scenes for days. Unlike most people, they knew all along their little love nest was going to fall apart. as an earthquake in There were cameras all around. A set that has taken three weeks to construct, with special temblor contrivances concealed in its parts, has to give a good shaky performance the first time, with no re-takes allowed For this destruction there were a dozen (ifferent crews, each with a vital mission.
