LUMBER MART AIDED
,
Film Industary Too; "Wood" the Important
PART OF 'HOLLYWOOD
Four million, six hundred thou
sand feet of lumber played an im
port part la creating the motion
picture entertainment brought to
the-1 world by Paramount's Holly
wood studios during the past year,
awarding to figures presented to
B. R Schulberg, general manager
( tett coast production for the
company.
Lumber, It was emphasized In
the report, ranks with human
emotions, sallied energy, film and
tTtlles, as a major commodity
without which motion pictures
hardly could be produced.
Ot the footage listed In the re
port, the major part was used in
trie construction of settings for
pictures. It represents a close ap
proximation of the annual lumber
consumption at the west coast stu
dios. If was pointed out that each
feature picture requires from IS
to- 10 settings. These vary from
royal palaces to western frontier
house, Kaeh requires lumber.
Oregon pine, white pine, red
wood and spruce are used in set
construction. The detailed report
compiled by the studio purchasing
agent, L. H. Buen, lists the year's
consumption in approximate round
figures as follows: Oregon pine,
3.000,000 feet; redwood, 1,000,
000 feet: white pine. 300,000 feet;
spruce 300,000, feet.
The Oregon pine Is used for the
rough, heavy construction work.
Red wood plays the more showy
rolo In tie films as it is employed
- for all surfacing and so eemes
under the direct eye of the camera
frequently.
White pine and spruee are util
ized for lighter rough construc
tion. Thousands of feet ot spruo
also go into the construction of
film shipping boxes;
Several thousand feet "of hard
' wood, not listed in the detailed re
port, Is consumed each year for
panelling, flooring and In the
construction of special furniture.
Large Quantities ot wood lath and
redwood sBlngles also swell the
unlisted lumber consumption.
To 150 carpenters, employed at
the studio carpenter shop, goes the
mammoth task of transforming
the millions of feet of lumber Into
finished settings.

One of the gayest and Quito the
loveliest and moat Artistic Fan
chon Marco shows to come to Sa
lem is now showing at tho Fox El
slnore. i It la eaUed the "bru
nettes" idea and smacks strongly
of the Spanish.
Tho chorus number which in
cludes 14 Hirsch Arnold dancers
la a dance with two enormous bril
liantly died scarfs is one of tho
most beautiful chorus numbers
that I hare ever seen. When yon
hare observed It there is a sate
wager you will agree.
There is also a really new tap
dance number given by the Slate
brothers, who tire graceful, good
looking and certainly clever.
That tap dance has something in
it .which no other tap dance -has
ever presented to me. It has a
slow, sinuous rhythm which is
fascinating and beautiful to
watch.
The singing ts unusually good.
Amanda Chirot has a soft deli
cately toned- coloratura soprano.
She is assisted by Jose Mereado,
baritone.
For those who like fait action
there is the act ot the All Has
sabs filuestreaks who offer some
thing new la tumbling, and It
is very gracaiuL
Ton will certainly like the Fan
chon and Marco show this week
end. STARS

HOLLYWOOD Are Hollywood
talking-picture artists duo for a
shake-up because of the Increas
ing demand for foreign TersionsT
Will future stars hare to speak
several languages to hold their
places in the mttrie "fun?"
It so. Radio pictures' players
will bo ready!
A survey this week disclosed
that few players under contract to
RKO do not speak at least one
foreign language. Some speak as
many as eight tongues. Others are
studying languages.
Bebo Daniels, now starring In
"Smooth as Satin" is .required to
speak perfect French In some se
quences. Iu "Rio Rita" many of
her dialogue lines were in Span
ish. Betty Compson Is prepared for
French talking pictures.
Renee Macready, English act
ress, speaks German, -French and
Italian.
Ivan Lebedetf is conversant
with eight languages English,
French, German, Russian, Tur
kish, Armenian, Italian and
Greek.
Helen Kaiser speaks both
French and German.
Bash Trevor, June Clyde, Dor
othy Lee and Roberta Gale speak
French, while Rita La Roy speaks
German and Joel McCrea Spanish.
. At least a dozen other Radio
pictures' play era are studying for
eign languages.

actors as Wallace Beery, Karl

1C USE
PUT IN COUGT
Hollywood's famous "morals
clause" in movie contracts la pal
ed to Insignificance by tho rigid
purity demands made of the fam
ous Floradora sextette girls 30
years ago.
In signing members of the sex
tette In 1900, the Shuherts sti
pulated in contracts that girls
must not "encourage, contract for
or engage in any marriage" dur
ing their engagement. Another
provision prevented them from at
tending "wild parties that break
up early in the morning. and
from accepting attentions from
"stage-door Johnnies.-
The most sensational clause,
however, stated that should an?
of the sextette gfrhr show any
signs or ansipation in any re
spect, she is to consider her con
tract null and void. .
