Cloan, Fresh Gnrbage
People move along ihe street. In
and out of the i. tores ami the pool
hall, and emerge on their fire escapes
on signals from an assistant director.
Some of the rooms in the tenements
are "practical"; that la, they're real
rooms which will be used for part
of the action. Other rooms are not
really rooms at all. Their windows
are reached by liidedn stairs and cat
walks.
The tank had to be deep enough so
the tenement kids can really dive and
swim In it. The water is clean and
warm, but since It in supposed to be
j part of the Fast River, it also must
carry a realistic amount of garbage.
So the studio provides nice, fresh
new idea, this motif is Miid to con- garbage daily clean grapefruit nmlH

are interrupted by a shooting, when
Ann obeys her newspapr instincts
and leaves Raymond standing st Mm

Lovers Apart
The picture, from then on. por
trays the efforts of Ann to win
Raymond back, despite the Inter

find themseh es in slightly different
roles than they have enjoyed in the

"Dippy' Ambition
Most realistic touch to the whole
hitig ia ghen by the kids. Five of
tbem are the Fast Side tougbies who
appeared in "Dead End' on the stage
T.eo Gorley. who is "flpit"; Gahrl
al Pell, "T. P."; limits Hall, who's
called "Dippy"; Bernard Ponsley,
who's "Milty," and Billy Hallop.
They're always in character, swag
gering and scrapping and talking their
Fast. Side dialect. They have ruined
miles of footage by od-libhhig shock
ing phrases from their stage role.
Each of them has, or feigns com
plete contempt for Hollywood. Oorley
is aniious to get back to New York
and resume bis (raining as a plumb
er's apprentice. Only one, the Hall kid,
thinks he would like to be n stage
actor. That's why the others call him
Hippy."
