SOCIETY. RADID PRIGLES AID COLOR WOVES Device Founded on Vacuum Tube Used in Recording : [ Different Shades. ' Pirst the talkies and now the color movies owe their success to radio prin- eiples, founded on the vacuum tube— that general utilitarian which so glosely .pg_l;‘ouhes the human brain cell. 1 e ‘“recording _spectrgmeter,” or “color analyzer,” which matches colors with uncanny accuracy for reproduc- tion on the screen, is the medium.| adapted from radio, that so vastly has improved movies in natural color. In- vented by William Hoyt Peck of New York, a veteran in the color movie | fleld, the spectrometer also should make | possible television in colors when that | radio art becomes a practicable public | servant. H MISS ELOISE WARREN, THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, Southern Society Plans To Buy Rare Portrait Under the auspices of the Southern Soclety, the evening of April 11, will inaugurate a movement to purchase for Monticello a rare portrait, painted by ‘Thomas Sully, of the daughter of Thomas Jefferson, Martha—Mrs. Thomas Mann Randolph. The usual Southern ball will be preceded by a few scenes from the official pageant of the Thomas Jeffer- son Foundation, written by Mrs. Min- nigerode Andrews, and well known | throughout the country, having been | frequently produced in the interest of | the movement to memorialize the author | of the Declaration of Independence in | the preservation as a shrine of his beau- | tiful home, Monticello. | " The committee for the production, | which will be informal and brief, in- | cludes Mr. Cloyd Byars, president of the Southern Soclety, which is the host of the evening, whose members are uniting with the Montecellians; Mrs. Gouverneur Hoes, chairman for the District of Columbia for the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation, and | from the membership in the Congres- | sional Club and the Democratic | Woman's Club; Mrs. C. C. Dill, chair- man of the religious freedom pilgrimage to Monticello April 13; Mrs. Stephen W. Gambrill, Mrs. Jack Marshall and Mrs. | Tucker Brown. Mrs. Minnigerode Andrews, directing In Washington on a visit, Mr. Peck | Whose parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. W. |, "0, COBUING MR, GO s explained the whys and wherefores of | his invention. Improvement in color | movies long has been a problem, he| brought out, because the natural color | camera is much more alert.than thzi human eye. The human eye, for exam- le, he says, may accept a color as; lood-red, but the natural color camera ! reproduces it as a cerise or orange. Colors May Vary. | Consequently, with the varying light- | ing effects necessary in photography. | & ballet ensemble, decked out in old rose, might reproduce in six or eight| different colors. But the new color analyzer matches the colors of the subject photographed | which are not perceivable to the human | eye. Moreover, he says, it will analyze | lighting, denoting just what percentage | of each color in the spectrum is de- | rived from any light source. It shows | exactly what color effect is achieved | when different materials are exposed to the same light. ‘To use the Peck device, the Color-| craft Corporation, with which he is| associated, is building at Long Island City what Mr. Peck describes as the largest colored motion picture labora- tory in the world. The plant, he de- clares, should be completed by April 15, and will be equipped with the very Iatest and finest of machinery and special devices to automatically re- roduce colored motion pictures in jarge quantities, Check INllumination. “We have developed a special re- cording spectrometer which will be used on sets before they are pl phed to check the illumination on erent parts of the stage. and to check the color value of the costumes, drapes and other materials,” he said. “We found it necessary to develop a special photo- | electric cell with high sensitivity in the | visible part of the spectrum. This cell | also is sensitive in both the infra-red | and ultra-violet regions. “To properly amplify the minute cur- rent generated by the photo-electric cell, we are using four screen-grid tubes, all carefully shielded so as to get suffi- cient current to operate the recording instrument.

RO GOWNS R e Will App Ensembles and D e Easter Monday Bal Masque Listed as Colorful Event The Easter Monday Bal Masque of the Congressional Country Club, April 21, will open the post-Lenten season with one of the most brilliant events of the year in Washington. The Bal M: e is the third Easter Monday ball of this delightful club in the Maryland hills, but the first masquerade ball of its career. Every effort is being put into making it an unusual carnival that will attract not alone the large local mem- bership of the Congressional Country Club, but also many of the long list of out-of-town members, who range from picturesque player-folks to notables of Congress. Of the latter, Senator and Mrs. Pittman have taken residence at the club for the Spring and early Summer. ‘The general committee on arrange- ments is already active with plans for making the Bal Masque a veritable “kaleidoscope of kolor,” which is the alliterative slogan of the evening. The big ball room and the terrace con- servatory beyond will be transformed into an outdoor scene where, beneath a blue sky, revelers will make merry and the gay costumes will complete the illusion of a fete in the open. Costumers from Baltimore, Philadelphia and even New York have promised to open centers in Washington to add to the store of fancy dress offered by local costumers. Dinner is announced for 9 pm. For the late revelers a breakfast will be served at 4 am. to complete the club’'s hospitality in the early dawn. The hours between are in the hands of some eight committees. The com- mittee on “feature” entertainments promises some exceptional “divertisse- ments.” Then there is the committee on gifts, to provide prizes for the win- ning costumes and the like, and most notable of all is the floor committee of imposing “six-footers,” all members of the club. The committee of judges has been carefully chosen and there is a committee on costumes, one on publicity and one on photographs. The club has almost 1,000 local mem- bers, with some 800 out-of-town mem- bers, who enjoy its broad, open spaces and its delightful golf links or swim- ming pool as a stopping place on their visits to the National Capital. The Bal Masque of the Congressional Country Club will be one of the most brilliant Easter Monday events of Washington. Iowa Society plnnninfl First Sprmg Meetm‘ Members of the Iowa State Sdclety are looking forward with interest to the first entertainment of the Spring season, which will be held at the Willard Hotel Tuesday evening. The program will open with the showing of the famous railroad picture, “T1¢ Pageant of the Iron Horse,” at 8 o'clock. Several vocal numbers by the Baltimore & Ohio double quartet will follow. Preceding the dancing a brief business meeting will be held. An amended con- stitution drafted by members of the executive committee will be submitted to the members for adoption.
