As a mure or less Innocent b slander I managed to get Into the uct. first by partially iiiiiigliim the Oldrst Srttler. whose deafness had prevented him from bearing the director's sharp command for silence. Kn-rouraged by the success of this bit of helpfulness, I then attempted the role of general suppressor of sour sounds. I was able to stop a truck behind the sound range, quiet two yelping dogs, and move a mooing cow to a safe distance. But when a flock of cawing blackbirds circled' overhead during a crucial sound take.

If he doe-j not Inhale It. All of the visitors except Bob Fllmer left for Hollywood on Sunday evening so that they lould resume their regular work t.t the beginning of the week Tho one with the greatest ur-ency was Miss Harriet Arte'-bright, who Is sc'ieilulwl to up pear next Friday In the centr. role at an elaborate church we ding where she will become tho bride of Mr. Donald Mason Han Francisco. After a hone) moon In Hawaii, Mls Argenbrlght plans to resume her professional carer. '. |
