HOLLYWOOD, Cal,, Dec. 27—It's the “little people” on the back lot who really know what's going on in pictures. Not the gessip, necessarily, which comes and blows away is forgotten. I mean the things you’ll be seeing on the screen six months, a year from now. For every new picture there's required, and the “little people” hear about it and something new first They're “little” only in the sense that the public seldom, if ever, he: about them. But coilectively they have burned and n Pompeii, planted Compiegne forest, built an Oakie village, e Atlantic and the Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico, made risco quake, and re-created old Los Angeles — all for the movies. These and many other tasks are theirs daily, but you seldmnl see their names. . £an Fran Joe Trusty is one of the back lot's lights-under-a-bushel. His is a bushel of flowers. Joe and his assistants, working in the prop-shop basement, make the flowers used in their pictures. (Extra-particular directors may demand the real thing, but the more practical men realize that real flowers fade quickly under studio lights.) 1 haven't seen TYiarry Redmond for months, but there's a feillow who always has something interesting to show. It was Harry, an “effects” expert, who did the storms in “Only Angels Have Wings” and who, as T recall it, burned and quaked Pompeii for that city’s “last days” in the movies. Harry was PERCY’S CAFE ® STOP AT PERCY'S CAFE Breakfast, Dinner or Light Lunches * DELICIOUS FOOD © FOUNTAIN SERVICE © REFRESHMENTS always playing with fire or powder or wires — playing seriously, because that’s his business. James Gibbons, head of the prop-show, had a problem long before Bdward . Robinson started studying his lines for “A Dispatch from Reuter's” He had to find something to serve as a canister buoy of the type Reuter used to “scoop” all England on the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The buoy was dropped from an incoming ship near Land’s End, England, and there fished cut by Reuter aides for dispateh to London. But Gibbons had no samples or blue-prints: what he did was to study old pictures and build one that looked right. Lo e O A man who “builds” oceans and far horizons (among many things) is William O'Connell, scenic department head. He pro- vided the realistic, shimmering sea backgrounds for “The Sea Hawk” and now is duplicating the job for “The Sea Wolf." With s of cellophane “waves” and lighting effects he makes the waters of the studjo “tank stage” seem to extend for miles. Winds and rains and fogs — the little people are always experimenting with new kinds. Winds come from giant pro- pellers for the storms or from giant canvas tubes for zephyrs. Rain comes from overhead pipes and sometimes from fire hoses for a really stormy long-shot rain. And fog — it comes from pots and pipes and is made in many ways — usually chilled, cacked oil forced through spray pipes. 5 adv | DISNEY STARS MARIONETTE IN FOLL-LENGTH HIT "Pinocchio” Ends Tonight on Screen af Capito!

The men at New London pass six weeks in primary training, which includes fri trips in R-class, 1919 subma: , and an additional six to twelve weeks in specialized study. The new submarines carry crews of fifty to sixty men. America’s submarine fleet is not the largest in the world, but it is regarded by many naval experts as the world’s strongest. We have 104 nel.

But U. 8. subs are fleet warships, de- signed to accompany the main bat- tle force on extended cruises. The new ones average 2,000 tons under- a displacement, 300 feet in length, 26-foot beam, and 17 to 20-knot su: face speed. Under water they do 8 or 9 knots. U. S. naval strategy calls for use of the submarines in groups to am- bush enemy war fleets or convoys and singly as scouting units. They are therefore capable of unusually long voyages-and carry exception- ally heavy armament, including a three-inch cannon, anti-aircraft gun and 2,000-pound torpedos.
