“I am chagrined (to have to report
the loss of this bill. I recommend 1
that you ask the Congress to auth-:
orize the preparation of a duplicate.
The last approval day is May 15.’
The President recommended that
a duplicate bill be authorized by con
current resolution. Delegate Dim
ond offered the resoution which was
immediately passed. The bill was
engrossed and sent to the White
House and two hours later it had
been signed into law. All Congress
smiled as it enacted this, the fast
est legislation known in many weeks
The only other record of a bill
being lost in such manner was It
years ago when the Navy Depart
ment filed a bill where it was never
found.
The bill authorizing the Post
master General to contract for air
mad service is Alaska passed the
House, Tuesday. This was called
up by the Delegate and passed by
unanimous consent.
The bill authorizing the town of
Seward to construct an electric gen
erating station and distribution syst
em through the issuance of bonds
in any sum not exceeding $118,000
passed the House, Monday, It will
be remembered the bill passed the
house some time ago but was com
pletely revamped in the Senate be
fore being passed by that body. The
house having passed the bill in its
new form, it is now awaiting ap
proval of the President before be
ing enacted.

The Invisible Man
Be Shown Friday
Now that Universal has completed
the filming of “The Invisible Man,"
coming Friday to the Dream Thea
tre, a studio spokesman—there are
always several— explained why a
period of more than two years was
permitted to elapse between the pur
chase of the H. G. Wells story and
its transfer to the screen.
The problem was how to photo
graph invisibility. The idea of an
invisible man is all very well in a
book, but motion-picture characters
have to be shown. The technicians
were consulted, as is the invariable
rule. For once they could do little
more than shake their heads. Cam
era men snorted at the notion and
the individuals responsible for the
purchase of the story wore a path in
the carpet leading to the executive
desk.
“Show the presence of the invis
ible man by spirit wires, moving
books, chairs and other articles.
Show him by suspending a coat,
trousers and hat on a wire. Have
a cloud of steam, or mist, or a
shroud of something pass before the
camera."
There were a few of the sugges
tions, but the verdict was “too ob
vious." It might have been done a
few years ago, but not today. And
so, for two years the problem was
discussed while the precious story
accumulated a few layers of dust in
I
the vaults, or closets, or filing cabi
nets, or wherever it is that stories
are kept.
But the invisible man has been j
photographed and the credit must
go to James Whale, the director;
Charles Edison, the photographer,
and Jack Pierce, the studio makeup
experts. Alter long experiment,
they discovered the possibilities of
small mil-rows, arranged as the ma
gicians employ them in creating op
tical illusions. The mirrors were
tried and the problem was no more.
Claude Rains, who is the picture's
invisible man, will be seen walking
along, completely dressed and with
a hat perched jauntly on what would
be a head, if any head were there.
On his deathbed his head and shoul
ders will be visible, but the rest of
his body will be merely a dent in '
the covers. In another scene he
will be shown disrobing and, as his
clothes fall away, nothing but in-j
visibility will remain.
There will even be some episodes
where- he will be totally invisible,
both to his fellow-players and his
audience. On first thought it would
seem that this would be more diffi
cult to photograph than the scenes
where only part of him is invisible.
The naive question was put to Uni
versal's oracle, who replied:
“Oh, no. Whenever he was total
ly invisible, the scenes were made
without him. Mr. Rains simply had
a day olT",
Then, with a chuckle, the spokes
man drew a few mil-rows from his
pocket and faded away.
