Tbm OREGON STATESMAN, Salem. Oregon. Sunday Morning. February 11, 1M3 PAGE ELEVEN Smelly Films Are Invented Swiss Scientists Patent Way to Make Odors for Movies BERN E-( Correspondence of the Assocated Press) Two Swiss inventors hare turned oat an automatic, electrically operated contraption whereby motion pic ture films will farry not only a sound track but a "smell" rack. They call their invention the "oderated talking picture," and it's just that. During a recent private demonstration in Bern they produced twenty smells synchronized with sound and sight for their sniffing audience. When her heroine .. walked through a field of violets the hall was' filled with the scent of violets. When she was rushed to the hospital following an -accident the audience smelt the ether. Phooey! What's Burning When the hero sped to her aid in a racing car something like the odor of hot brake bands was in the ahy . . And when they were finally married the scent of orange blos soms made everything hunky dory. "Think of it." exploded one of the enthusiastic inventors? "men sit together in a hotel lobby smok ing cigars and the smellof them is in the hall. Then pouf! Garbo walks in and the smoke smell vanishes for the scent of her ravishing perfume!" The inventors claim they can produce no less than 5000 sepa rate smells with their odorted film although they don't advise any one to try and put them all on one film. That, even they agree, would be too much for the public's nose. Ten's Enough They figure that the smells should be reserved for the best moments of the film; perhaps about ten to a feature length pic ture. At the demonstration they showed that modern air condi tioning will permit one odor to be wafted away before the other odor arrives. Their apparatus requires no operator and works automatically on the "smell track" of the odor ated film. Only trace of the odor in the motion picture theatre is a faint hissing noise audible only close to the "odor vents." The cost of installing the odoriferous contraption, say the Inventors, is well below the cost of installing sound equipment in motion picture theaters. Monkeys Get out For "Maisie" Film The only aquatic monkey house in Hollywood wins a . role in the movies. Metro - Goldwyn-layer's old river boat, which has been used in jungle pictures since Clark Gable and Jean Harlow starred in "Red Dust," has been the home of the studio monkeys for the past two years. Despite the chattering protest of the ring-tailed horde, they were evicted when the boat won a screen role in "Congo Maisie," Ann Sothern's second Maisie role in which she is teamed with John Carroll at the Capitol theatre. The boat plied a jungle river and the monkeys returned to their tree-top homes in the studio jun gle. "Congo Maisie" was directed by H. C. Potter from a story by WI1 Bon Collison. Featured with Miss Sothern and Carroll are Rita Johnson and Shepperd Strudwick.

Of the IS scenes in which she does not appear, more than half are mere flashes establishing characters or background and en tailing little or no dialogue. Some thing of a record in continuous appearances, the lovely actress al so established a Hollywood mark when, during one scene, she spoke 681 words into a telephone with out a pause. The scene runs for three minutes; it required hours of preparation. The amazing monopoly of cam era attention "enjoyed" by liss Russell meant that she had to be on the set every day, with no free time from production.

James Cagney, 140 pounds, knocked 240-pound Alan Hale sprawling by a slight miscalcula tion of distance in a rousing rough and tumble fight scene for the picture at the Warner Bros, stu dio during production. It was 10 minutes before Hale recovered breath and dignity enough for the scene to be continued. And he still has to be convinced that Jim my didn't plan it. The fight climaxed a long ver bal build up between Cagney, a cocky private, and Hale, a burly top sergeant, that had been run ning aH through the first part of the picture. Going into the scene, director William Kelghley natur ally wanted to make It look real. ''There's so much difference between you two in site and weight that the audience won't believe It unless -you look rather awkward, Alan." he Instructed. "So you swing wild at first and you, Jimmy, pretend to be pound ing him in the solar plexus. Just swing in close and it will look okay for the camera. But don't get hurt, either of you." Half way through the fight (and it was looking better every second) Jimmy cut loose with a short sharp right upper cut. He happened to time It just as Hale was reaching out with a looping left past Johnny's right ear. Jimmy's punch, with his shoul der behind it, caught Hale right in the middle. With a "woof" that made the microphone dance. Hale sat down, but suddenly. It was 10 minutes before he got back his breath on the set. but in the finished film It's mere ly a matter of a split second.
