The Miracle of the Screen
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" is an epic of the Old South, and
embraces one of the most stirring and picturesque per
iods in American history. As a stage-play, it has graced
the boards of American theatres for 75 years. Through
the medium of this beautiful drama, probably the great
est human story ever written, countless stars have been
made. There is scarcely an old actor or actress living
who has not at some time played some part in "Uncle
Tom's Cabin." The names of "Eliza," "Uncle Tom,"
"Little Eva," "Tcpsy," "Simon Legree" and "Marks,
the Lawyer" are American household words.
This motion picture, then, is dedicated to the Amer
ican people so that there may be preserved for all time
a classic of American life that takes rank with the works
of Victor Hugo and Charles Dickens in their interpre
tations of other periods in older lands.
Amazing Facts aradl Figures!
19 MONTHS TO SHOOT A new record was established in the shoot
ing1 time cf "Uncle Tern's Cabin." when the final count of time
totaled nineteen rncnths.
0400 There were over 2400 minor players and ensemble atmos
phere personalities engaged during the period of this produc
tion. 977,000 In crder to select the necessary footage for the success
ful showing of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," 977,000 feet of film
were exposed.
3,531 Thre are 3.531 scenes shown in the fourteen reels of this
work. This is almost twice as many as in any other super
picture ever made at Universal City.
20,000 The "Uncle Tom's Cabiu" company traveled over 26,000
miles cn location trips throughout the country.
HISTORIC "PROPS" One cf the historic "props" and scenes is
that cf the Mississippi mighty side-wheeler, the old "Kate
Adams" on which the boat activities were enacted and photo
graphed. The famous old beat was chartered for nine weeks
and rebuilt to conform to the period of the '50's.
2,700 The lighting effects on the sets required over 2,700 amperes
of direct and indirect current running from 220 volts down
to 104 volts for the indirect lighting, to flood the scenes as
they were unfolded to the eye.
TV0 MILLION GALLONS An interesting bit of business was the
erection at Universal City of a waterfall over which fell thirty
gallons of water a minute into a reservoir of 2,00,000 gallons
capacity to effect the ice scenes. This reservoir was refilled
daily for 37 days.
IfilGHTY SNOW SCENES Six hardwocd, laminated airplane pro
pellers were worn out during the snow scenes due to the
eroding effects cf the artificial snow which "chewed" up the
prcpellors used for propulsive force in driving the "snow" into
the scenes.
400 TONS It required four hundred tons of gypsum to cover the
grcund fcr the ice scenes to intensify the snow effects on the
massive set, which covered three acres.
TH0R0UGHERD BLOODHOUNDS The bloodhounds used for the
famous escape on the ice-scene were especially imported from
England.
EIGHT MONTHS RESEARCH Prior to the taking of a single foot
of film on the world-famous story, eight months were spent in
research work by technicians, who travelled all over the South
fcr historical, geographical and architectural data.
GENUINE SPANISH MOSS All the way from the Mississippi for
ests came fifty bales of Spanish moss to embellish the trees at
Universal City in. order that this picturesque detail might en
hance the verdant scenes and achieve the rich tropical atmos
phere of this greatest of all great pictures.
200 BARRELS OF PAINT For the interior and exterior decoration
cf the buildings there were used two hundred barrels of paints
cf all colars called for from the Stowe descriptions.
G5 SETS There were sixty-five separate and distinct sets built es
pecially for the production. This is most unusual when one
considers that the average BIG production includes eight or
nine at the most.
1,000 TREES In the horticultural decorations there were 1,000
full grown trees hauled from the mountains of Southern Cali
fornia to Universal City; 10,000 artificial magnolias, oleanders
and other famous southern flowers were manufactured and
intermingled with the tens of thousands of real southern flow
ers in order to make the garden scenes and verdure surround
ing the homes and outbuildings identical with the Stowe de
scription of these scenes.
REAL ANTIQUES Out cf a historic New Orleans home there was
brought to Universal City a crystal chandelier to decorate the
living room of the St. Clare manor house.
50,000 PIECES OF CLOTHING In the wardrobe department there
were made and furnished over fifty thousand major pieces of
clc thing to array the principals and extras in the various
scenes. The minor and extra people required 28,000 sticks of
grease paint for their respective make-ups.

Smoot Gives Senate Bill at Noon;
Capper Sees Many Changes for
Agriculture Aid.
Washington, Sept. 3. With one
of the oldest party issues the tar
iff to settle once more, the senate
will resume work Wednesday after a
2 -months' recess, to complete the
emergency legislative program recom
mended to it by President Hoover.
The house, which started last Jan
uary formulating the first tariff leg
islation in seven years and sent the
completed measure to the senate In
late May, will not meet until Sept.
23. Then it will adjourn over 3-day
periods until the senate sends the bill
back for adjustment of differences.
The eve of the reconvening of the
senate found the democrats and west
ern republicans organizing to limit
the revision to agriculture, or fail
ing in that to carry on a vigorous
drive to wipe out the proposed in
creases in industrial import levies and
in some instances, to reduce existing
rates.
Smoot Is Ready.
Leaders of both groups expressed
confidence that they had enough
votes practically to rewrite the bill
to their liking.
Senator Smoot of Utah, tariff
spokesman for the regular republi
cans, said he was "ready for the
fight," and the books and statistics
piled on his desk as he made the
statement indicated as much.
Many senators were rushing to the
capital for the initial tariff meet
ing. Senator Pittman (D.), Nevada,
taking an airplane from Los Angeles
to Kansas City in order to speed his
arrival.
Both Senators Watson of Indiana,
and Robinson of Arkansas, respective
ly the republican and democratic
floor leaders, were out of the city,
and party predictions were left to
their lieutenants.
Smoot said he would introduce the
bill and submit the majority report
,to the senate at noon after the full
finance committee, which he heads,
had voted the measure out.
See Postponement.
Under the rules, the bill must lay
over one day before debate begins,
but some senators believed a move
would be made to adjourn until Mon
day to allow senators more time to
study the measure amended by the
finance majority.
Senator Borah of Idaho, met with
eight other republican independents
and discussed the bill for an hour,
after which he said the "main point
is to confine the revision to agri
culture." Senator Capper (R.), Kansas, an
advocate of revision for agriculture
alone, predicted proponents of the
bill would not recognize it when It
gets through the senate Obaha Bee-News.
SN0WDEN WELCOMED HOME
London Philip Snowden, chancel
lor of the exchequer, and now acting
prime minister, arrived in London
Sunday from The Hague, where he
attended the government's reparation
conference. A crowd estimated at 3,
000 greeted him and would not al
low him to proceed until he had made
a short talk. He was well pleased
with the outcome of The Hague con
ference, he said, and believed the
agreement to withdraw troops from
the Rhineland "the greatest piece of
political achievement since Locarno."
"The influence of Great Britain In
international affairs has been re-established,"
the chencellor said "and
nnw our relations with other coun
tries are more cordial now than at
any time since the war."
Just before he left the Nether
lands, Mr. Snowden received a tele
gram from Prime Minister MacDonald
appointing the chancellor acting pre
mier during Mr. MacDonaia s sojourn
at Geneva.

DEFECTS ARE REMEDIABLE
Th hih Dercentaee of physical
defects in the population of this coun
try, as disclosed by physical examin
ation of supposedly well people, and
the means at our disposal tor par
tial remedy of these defects was dis
cussed by Dr. B. Carl Russum in an
address at the state fair Tuesday
under the auspices of the Nebraska
State Medical association.
Dr. Russum, director of the de
nartmont nf natholosTv. bacteriology
and nreventive medicine at Cheigrh-
ton university school of medicine at
Omaha, pointed out that the examin
ation of over 700,000 people period
ically examined revealed tnat over
50 per cent had derangements war
ranting medical or surgical atten
tion.
The speaker said that our partial
triumph over such communicable dis
eases as scarlet fever and diphtheria
has increased our life expectancy for
all ages up to fifty-two, but after
that age our expectancy has decreas
ed when compared with 1900.
Maintenance of proper weight la
the be6t guide of the efficiency of a
diet according to Dr. Russum. A de
viation of 10 to 15 per cent from
average weight is allowable, but more
variation is pathological. The usual
gain with advancing years is not phy
siological and is a definite handicap
to heart and blood vessels. Weight
cannot be kept down by exercise such
as golf, for we simply cannot exer
cise enough. Proper diet is the only
method, he declared.
A person is foolish to have all his
money in ona pocket when he goes to
a big city. If any amount . he can
save part of It by scattering it about.
Mr. and Mrs. James McKarron and
daughter, Josephine, who were here
for a short visit at the home of Dr.
and Mrs. R. P. Westover, returned
yesterday to their home. Mrs. Mc
Karron is a sister of Dr. Westover.
