Health Urges
Immunization
JUNEAU—Immediate immuni
zation against smallpox is urged
for Alaskans by Territorial Com
missioner of Health C. Earl Al
brecht, M.D.. as protection against
possible spread of the disease to
the Territory from the State of
Washington, where an outbreak in
King County was reported March
26 by the State health depart
ment as having reached “epidemic
proportions.”
No cases of smallpox have been
reported in Alaska Dr. Albrecht
said, but due to the fact that Seat
tle in King County, is a chief port
of embarkation for the North,
Alaskans are advised to be vac
cinated against the d'sease as soon
as possible.
Mass immunization clinics are
helpful in reaching many people,
but individuals can always consult
their local physicians for vaccin
ations. An ample supply of small
pox vaccine is maintained at the
Health Department’s biologic de
pots in the Juneau, Anchorage
and Ketchikan laboratories.
It is believed the majority of
children in Alaska are already im
mune to smallpox through vaccin
ation given in the continuing and
periodic programs carried out by
the Health Department in the va
rious community health centers
and by the Alaska Native Service
medical division. But these pro
grams may not have reached all
children and do not include adults.

IT COSTS $1,064 A DAY! QUICK
WATSON. THE NEEDLE!
HOLLYWOOD — Watching re
hearsal alter rehearsal for one
scene in a movie called “CracK- ;
Up,” I fell to wondering how
much such meticulous monkey- i
shines cost. RKO financial wizards
computed the answer: about $14 a
minute. More than $800 an hour.
The whole eight-hour day, spent
rehearsing and making several
milm takes and close-ups of the
single scene, cost approximately
$6,500.
This included $1,064 tone day’s
pay* to Pat O’Brien for merely
lying unconscious on a couch, ut
tering a few groans at the proper
places and letting Ray Collins .iab
him with a hypodermic needle.
Ray, who had to remain on his
tion from a succesful vaccination
is believed to be from five to
seven years, although some medi
cal authorities declare that to be
absolutely safe, the individual
should be revaccinated every
three years.
Seventeen cases of smallpox
had been reported in King County
and three deaths had occurred up
to March 26, and more cases have
been reported since then, it was
stated. How many unidentified
and unreported cases there are, is
not known. All but one case have
been traced to two sources, King
County Hospital in Seattle, and
Kirkland. However, one case it
was said, apparently did not con
tract smallpox from either source,
the patient having residence in a
small downtown hotel in Seattle.
Dr. J. K. Bozeman, city epidem
iologist of the Seattle health de
partment, said the local cases can
be traced to Japan.
Arrangements have been made
to carry out “mass immunizations”
in various Seatle communities and
in several towns throughout King
County.
“Smallpox is a very serious dis
ease and is one of the most con
tagious.” declared Dr. Albrecht.
“Persons who are exposed to it, if
unprotected by vaccinaiton, are
.almost sure to contract the dis
ease. Certainly anyone contem
plating a visit to Seattle or the
States and who has not had a suc
cessful vaccination within the past
year should be revaccinated be
fore departure as a precautionary
measure.
“The disease strikes people of
all ages and is particularly fatal to
young children. While authorities
disagree as to just how the infec
tion is transmitted, it is generally
accepted theory that it is spread
by direct contact or by carriers
who themselves are immune, and
that it can be airborne.
“Smallpox has been controlled
by vaccination until it has been
looked upon as a disappearing
menace. But as soon as a disease
becomes somewhat rare, many
people tend to be careless about
it and develop a false sense of se
curity. Precautions against such a
disease as smallpox, however,
must never be relaxed. The dis
ease smolders here and there, and
when conditions become favor
able, it may break out in a mild or
severe form. The Department of
Health urges vaccination for ev
eryone in Alaska.”

Mary Ware earned $25 by wav
ing a pistol, looking pretty and
alarmed, and slapping Claire Tre
vor's cheek. Mary, you see, is a
newcomer, a find from the nearby
Pasadena Playhouse.
For her ordeal. Miss Trevor re
ceived slightly less than O’Brien.
For that matter so did Herbert
Marshall, who wasn’t needed in
the scene and hence wasn’t even
at the studio that day.
A doctor of medicine, on hand
as technical advisor for the arm
jabbing, got $83.33 for the eight
houi s.
Director Irving Reis knocks
down about $166 a day, Camera
man Robert deGrasse about $125.
Add in the lesser pay for other
camera operators, grips, electri
cians, carpenters, laborers, stand
by painter, make-up men, ward
robe experts, prop men, sound en
gineers, assistant directors, script
girl and dialogue director and you
begin to see what the money mas
ters mean.
The set. used three days, cost
$4,200. Even the sound-stage space
is charged against the picture—
about $250 per day. And we have
not mentioned designers, film pro

accountants, or that vague thing
called overhead.
The studio calls “Crack-Up” an
average “A” picture, using few

ing from $800,000 to $1,000,000.
