Corinne Goes Boating.
It is during the week-ends that Corinne turns sailor. Almost every week she can be seen head- ing toward Los Angeles harbour where her schooner Wanderlust rides at anchor. An hour later the craft is heading out to sea un- der full sail, bound for Catalina Island or some other resort with in easy sailing radius.
"Sailor" Griffith is usually at the wheel on such occasions. She has a regular skipper, but he is allowed to take things easy while the actress, known as screenland's ablest yachtswoman," takes com mand of the ship.
Regardless of the merits of the case. Hollywood is interested in wondering what Peter Howard would do if he did win. Unless

Rudolph Berliner, who is now Cecil B. De Mille's "music master," claims that he can produce any de- sired reaction for the cameras by means of music. And, he says, the same thing can be done in the
home.
"Music affects the emotions of people in proportion to their knowledge of the tune," says Ber- liner. "Often it is an earlier as- sociation of a memorable incident

picces to stir emotions more than others. This is particularly no- ticeable in 'tunes that make people cry. "Homo Sweet Home," "Aloha," "Forgotten," Massenet's "Elegy" and other sad sweet niclodies are standard for the pur- pose of provoking tours.
"If we want to make people laugh, we play Down Home Rag." "Where'd You Get Those Eyes," "Charleston," "Blackbottom," or some other similar pieces. There is something to the lilt of these that irresistibly draws a laugh.
"To put a person in a loving mood, play "Promise Me," "Love Song" from Faust, "Sweetest Story Ever Told," "Just An Old Love Seng." or any others of simi- lur tempo."
Most of the film stars have their favourite selections to put them in various moods. However, the music seems more essential for the highly emotional scenes than for the higher vein of acting, Lea- trice Joy's emotions respond to 4Gray Days," while Joseph Schildkraut prefers "The Lake Sof the Swans. For emotional scenes Rod La Rocque always asks for "Dear Old Pal," and Jetta Goudal requests "The Marseillaise."
**The During the filming of Volga Boatman," William Boyd played many of his biggest scenes to the accompaniment of "The Song of the Volga Boatmen," As a result, it is now his favourite for. moody scenes.

And so on down the line--an endless string of musical selections preferred by various cinema atare to put them in various moods.
Harold Lloyd's Dogs.
When Harold Lloyd bought his ranch about two years ago, he didn't quite know just what to do with it. He doesn't have to worry about that anymore-it has been turned into a home for his numerous dogs and an open air studio.
The dogs really influenced Lloyd to build his New York set on the
