H Fcr B!:s!b MM 'Mark Ticain9 Re-writes fTom : Sawyer9 for Film Coming Here The opening paragraphs of one of the great books produced by an American are being meticulously copied at the Warner Bros, studio in the same long hand in which they were origin ally written. , . . - The page of decipherable if not-too-perfect script, as com pleted thus far, reads: Tom!" No answer. " ' - Tomr No answer. . ' "What's gone with the boy, I wonder?.! You Tom!" A. great many lovers of Mark; Twain will recognize .in those phrases ; the ' opening chapter of j The Adventures of .Tom Sawyer,' even though few have , probably ever seen them as they were orig inally put down in Mark Twain's own handwriting. ' Fredrie March will pea them or appear to do so in the Warner Bros, version of "The Adventures of Mark Twain,' which js being produced at that studio by Jesse L. Lasky, the man who planned and produced "Sergeant York" for this same company. But before March takes pen in hand to start one of the memor able literary ventures in the na tion's memory, G." T. Ellis, hand-. writing expert for the studio, will have those lines penned in an al most exact replica of the. original, for use before the camera. Starts Bravely ; March, may start bravely on the first line, his hand in the camera and a pen in that hand and he may even " be 'shown' putting the final peculiar twist' on the bottom of the letter y.J that was" Mark Twain's habit,' but the finished . page of manuscript, and many more to be seen briefly through the story, will be the work of G.T. Ellis. : t Ellis, who worked several weeks at learning the details of the Mark Twain handwriting, is a little dis appointed that it cannot be his hand that; shows in the camera when the famous story of Tom Sawyer is shown being born.. . "My skin is too old, they tell me, he explained. "They need a young er hand to play Mark Twain's writing wrist for the picture. Pro bably Mr. March will do it him self." ' Ellis is an "old hand" at the mo tion picture insert business. He re cently completed perfect copies of the signature of George M. Cohan, on letters, sheet music and at the foot of famous contracts for "Yan kee Doodle Dandy." Not long be fore that he scrawled "John Han cock" for the camera at the foot of the Declaration of Independence for a short subject made under that rnm. .. Difficult Task Signifying names is simple for gery for Ellis, who still signs only his own checks. The Job of copy ing whole pages of Mark Twain manuscript, which will flow before the camera in only momentary montage sequences, is a more dif ficult matter, however, and he has really perspired over tie job. . . Mark Twain wrote his famous stories in long hand and so must Fredrie .March appear to do in the picture. Luckily, many of the or- Uny Griff kf. 4 fitc vrW... a it SJ- at bki m m v ' Til "'r.t 'T- -Wa,7. Z", RimoW 0irctl by IRVINQ RAPPER Continuous Shows Daily During . . -.

It is easier than some jobs he has been asked, to do, such as writing ' Arabic or Hindu for inserts in other pictures.; . An incidental . result has been that Ellis now knows the first two pages of "The Adventures'of Tom Sawyer" by heart, having memor ized them Jn spite of himself through the long practice periods of penning them to perfect himself in Mark Twain's handwriting style. It is doubtful if even Fred rie 31arch will be able to' do as much after he plays the title role In "The Adventures of v M a r k Twain," which opens Friday at the Elsinore theatre.
