EARTHQUAKE STAGED FOR TRACY PICTURE Recent Los Angeles Disaster Reproduced by Studio’s Technical Expert There is a full-fledged earthquake in “Advice to the Lovelqrn," Lee Tracy’s current starring vehicle for Joseph M. Schenck and Darryl Zanâ€" uck’s 20th Century Pictures, showing next Monday and Tuesday at the Capitol Theatre. Its rhythm and’ duration were copied from seismographic records of the quake that hit Southern California March 10 last, and were accurately reproduced in the film by W. R. Davi- son, expert in technical effects. Not only does, Davison faithfully reproduce the quake motion, but, in a Turkish bath scene, requiring the most difficult technical effects, he causes steam pipes to seem to burst without actually bursting; walls to crack which do not really crack; and plaster to fall which weighs next to nothing. The Turkish bath set occupied a movable platform 42 by 65 feet, weighed 20 tons, and was set on rollers and shaken by lever-controlled BIG EGGS BRING BIG PRICES I Clean Up- USE .

Its seven different rooms were shaken separately for various camera shots, as the camera had to rest on solid flooring in one room in order to photograph one or more of the other rooms as they swayed and shook. Great care was exercised by Davi- son in estimating the stress placed on walls and flooring, and in reproduc- ing the quakes scientifically â€" for even earthquake experts go to movies and write letters of criticism to pro- ducers. “Advice to the Lovelom” is the story of a Wise-cracking reporter on a Los Angeles newspaper, Whose edi- tor punishes him for sleeping through an earthquake and missing the biggest story of the year by demoting him to the post of “agony” column pilot.

If I ’adn’t ’ad the pres- ence of mind to step on the 01d wom- an’s face, We wouldn’t ’ave got a penny.” It seems that Finland, too, has scratched a U. S. citizen and found a spy. But AYVldl Werner Jacobson, 27, one time teacher in the North- ville (Mich.) high school, has adopâ€" ted a different technique. Citizen Jacobson obligingly confessed every- thing. Yes, he knew the Switzes, other spy suspects. Yes, Soviet agents in Manhattan- had hired him and sent him to Finland. Yes, his ring was connected with groups operating in France, the U. 8., Can- ada, Sweden, Norway, Estonia. “Latvia?” “Certainly, Latvia too.” The drunken driver deesn’t get reckless. He just changes his defi- nition of “careful,” Too many people think good citizen- ship consists in fretting about things they can’t help. Maybe it is wicked to kill Chinese and steal their ten-ibory because they aren’t called Indians.
