Georgetown to Begin “Annual.” 'ORK will begin on the 1932 Domesday Booke of Georgetown University shortly after the Christ- mas holidays, under the ‘direction of the newly elected editor-in-chief, Martin J. ‘White, and Louis A. Fisher, business ' manager, both junior class members. | Since the Domesday Booke is the official annual of the university, the rushing of its publication and distribu- tion before the end of the academic year is a matter of prime interest to the student body and alumni generally. ‘With the election of editors and busi- ness managers for the law, dental, | medical and foreign service depart- | ments at an early date, the entire staff of the Domesday Booke will be func- tioning. Mr. White has had two years of experience on the staff of the Col- lege Journal, and is an associate editor also of The Hoya. Pictures for the annual now are being taken. Members of the Mask and Bauble Club, student dramatic society at the college, met recently under their new moderator, Prof. Gerald Yates, 8. J., who expressed his pleasure at the initiative shown by the club in con- ducting its activities while the post of faculty director was vacant. From a group that originally was organized to put on cne or two plays a year, the Mask and Bauble Club has developed into a serious medium for the study of stagecraft. Practical work covering all phases of dramatics is undertaken at its meetings. In this connection the student members try their own hand at the writing and pro- duction of original one-act plays during the year, Prof. Yates ‘announced that at the next meeting of the club early in January “The Valiant,” which was rroduced by the Mask and Bauble Club ast year at the Fordham one-act play contest in Philadelphia, will be sented. ‘The officers of the Mask and Bauble Club this year are C. DeWitt Coffman, president; Miles M. O'Brien, vice presi- dent; Lester C. Burdett, secretary, and Gerald M. McAllister, treasurer.. Before the student body was dis- missed for the Christmas vacation a genuine tribute was paid to John Scalzi, the scrappy quarterback of the 1930 varsity. By a popular vote of the student body, Scalzi was awarded the Joseph A. Wilner trophy as the most valuable senlor player on the foot ball team. Others in the balloting, Capt. William Morris, John Bozek, Phil Mooney and Ed Leary, finished in the order named. The contest was con- ducted through the Hoya. Scalzi’s “most outstanding feat” brought nu- merous comments, but 144 were of the opinfon that his work in the Michigan State game was the best. pre- 8. E. Juniors Elect Staff.

By the Associated Press. HOLLYWOOD, Calif,, December 20. —American producers have stopped making foreign language ‘‘versions” of successful motion pictures and are making real pictures in foreign languages. ‘This, according to Henry Blanke, ture distribution, is the reason talking pictures now are exported in larger numbers than silent ones. ‘Thre word “version,” Blanke explained today, tells the whole story of the early failure to interest Europe in Hol- lywood talking movies. They were actually remakes, or with superimposed or inserted explanatory titles or with “duped” foreign dialogue. None of these methods pleased foreign audi- ences. New System Tried. ‘Then some of the leading producers —Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Universal and First National notably—tried a new system. Agents invaded Europe and leading players, writers and directors were signed and brought to Hollywood. In the last three months approximately 70 foreign stars, actors and actresses and 25 writers and directors have come here. Now when a story is found that ap- pears to meet the requirements of a popular picture in German, French or Spanish speaking countries, it is turn- ed over entirely to & staff off foreign- ers and a free hand is given them to in their | country, by their country’s standards. Foreign From Ground Up. A picture made for the principal non- English markets now is German, Span- | ish or French from the ground up. Even the story is rewritten by a native who understands the customs, reactions and peculiarities of his own countrymen. In Germany, for instance, children under 18 years are not allowed in thea- ters. Naturally German pictures can| be and are of a more sophisticated, | subtle and sometimes suggestive nature | than the typical American pictures, | which must pass censors who know children inevitably will see them. Few stories made into English pic- tures are suitable for adaptation into more than one language, according to Blanke, il g i st ) Birds Get Yule Gifts.

WEWOKA, Okla, December 20.— ‘The giant torch of “Wild Abe,” blazing gasser at the city’s edge, continued to light up the countryside tonight in de- flance of a corps of men laboring to extinguish it. Spurting its searing flame 150 feet into the air from amid the mass of twisted metal wreckage of valuable equipment, the No. 2, A. B. Douglas, of the Deecp Rock Oil & Gas Corpo- ration was burning an estimated 60,- 000,000 cubic feet of gas daily. The fire started early Friday while drillers were deepening the well.

A projector was rented for the pur- pose. Revenue from the first showing went far toward paying for all expendi- tures incurred during the production. ‘The picture itself was much like many movies shown in theaters. There were crudities, of course, but the hero thwarted the villian and won the hero- ine in true thriller style. One of the features of the picture was a realistic automobile wreck. ‘The picture this year is to be on sim- ilar lines, Mrs. Macdonald declared. Its cast will be drawn from members of the Movie Cluo. The plot will be simple and most of the Dhowan)hy will be out of doors. It is planned to make several snow scenes. BANK CREDIT HELD CAUSE OF COLLAPSE @lass Senate Group Advisor Says Recovery Dependent on Proper Handling. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 20.—Dr. H. Parker Willls, in a survey of the security loan situation prepared for Shields & Co., states that the economic collapse of 1929 was fundamentally a question of banking and bank credit. The rate of recovery, he says, will be dependent upon a proper handling of the credit situation. He asserts that the substantial prog- ress in reducing the overload of credit is abundant ground for satisfaction, but that much remains to be done. He finds the decline of $5,000,000,000 in credit since October 1, 1929, has been chiefly the result of less business activity. While brokers’ loans have been reduced to only about $2,000.000,- 000, or about what thev were at the close of the war, Dr. Willis states that the burden of carrying securities has been shifted to the banks, and there been no important curtailment of this form of credit. Dr. Willis is a technical advisor to the Glass Committee of the Senate, which is about to conduct a banking investigation with the idea of recom- mending constructive tion. was secretary of the Federal Reserve Board in its early years.
