Rapid Progress with Wells Film

FIRST SETS SHOT

For several months preliminary work on tho.fim "Whither Man- | kind?” ́ adapted by II. C. Wella from his book "The Shape of Things to Came," has been pro- ceeding at Elstree. This month the unit will move to the Worton | Hall Studios, Isleworth, which London Film Productions have rented while their new studiós are being erected.

The film "Whither Mankind?” calls for a large amount of special | photography and effects, intricate models, and imaginativo construc- tional problems, most of which work was quite unknown in this country before this production. Special carpenters' and plasterers' shops, projection apparatus, and a foundry had to be built, and as- sistants trained in this technique by Ned Mann, the Hollywood 'special effects expert, betore any actual shooting could be done. Effects unknown even in American studies have been perfected, it fa stated, and will be used for the first time in this film.

It will result in a small band of experts being available to British studios who have been trained in this new branch of the motion picture industry.

THOUSAND MILES OF FOREST

AMERICA FIGHTS DROUGHTS

HUGE SHELTER BELT

Washington, Feb, 28,' One of the most astonishing experiments of the experimental New Doal will begin this spring when the government starts plant- ing a row of trees from the Cana- dlan border to the Texas Pan- mandle, near the Mexican border.

About 4,000,000 seedlings will bo planted as a starter. When the project really gets going-by 1098, the Forest Service nopes-300,000,- 000 Hitlo trees will be planted an- nually over a period of ten years or more until there are 3,500,000,- 000 to 4,500,000,000 of them in a sturdy lino 1,500 miles long and 100 miles wide.

The proposed shelter belt, ita sponsors declare, will afford invalu- able protection to almost the whole country against drought, hot, soll- „blasting prairie winds and erosion.

The Forest Service has only 1,000,000 to start the huge 'pro- gramme and comparatively few seedlings to plant, but it expects addotopma; appropriationa and rapid development of nursery stock.

SHOULD GROW

Sceptics have asked how four billion trees can be made to grow In a chrople drought area. Tha Forest Service points out that the zone "lies in the western marginal | zone of the most humid east and does not contact the strictly arid west."

Specifically, the zone lies within the region of 18 to 25 Inches of average rainfall in North Dakota; 20 to 25 inches in South Dakota; 15 to 25 inchoa in Nebraska; 20 inches in Kansas; and about the

BEERY FOR BRITAIN? Negotiations are practically completed for Wallace, Beory to make a film in this country, it is stated.

Plans for a British production have been discussed in New York by Wallace Beery and Jeffrey Bernard on behalf of Gaumont- British, and, subject to the form er's approval of the story, he will come to London in the early sum- mer to make the film at the Shep- herd's Bush Studios.

England under the title of Mack Sonnett British Productions.

He will take personal control in the direction of a series of films which will go into production shortly, and is being supported in his venture by a number of prom- inent M.P.s.

At a luncheon given in his hon- our at the House of Commons, Mack Sennett outlined some of his plans, which included the finding and fostering of British stars.

He is one of the three pioneers of the film industry in Hollywood, and in a Canadian by birth.

Anthony Asquith was to have directed the Jubileo film, "The Reign of King George V.," written by Mr. Winston Churchill, which has recently been abandoned for technical reasons.

That trees can and do grow within the zone designated for tree planting clearly is manifest by the large acreage of shelter belts already growing there, many of which have withstood the drought of the last years with remarkable success and have produced abun- dant seed which will be used now-in raising nursery stock for the future of shelter belt planting," Chief Forester F. A. Silcox said.

Only the sturdiest of trees will be used. Planting will begin this spring over 150 miles of 30 selected areas, five miles long, Include: Caragana, Choke Cherry, Haw, Buffalo Bery, Sumac, Willow, Lilacs, Russian Olive, Plum, Rus- alan Mulberry, Osago Orange, Apricot, Cottonwood, Black Locust, Green Aah, Elm, Hackberry, Pine, Cypress and Red Cedar.

The Forest Service estimated that 160 days' work would be re- quired for each mile of the plan, or 21,000 days' for the entire 150 miles.

Dr. J. M. Kincer of the Leather Bureau is going out to the great precipitation, evaporation and other plains to analyse wind, temperature, cilmatic factors. Weather angles also will be studied by Dr. C. W. Thornthwaite, Rockefeller Institute meterologiat.

Exports of the bureau of Chemis- try and Soils, including Dr. J. E. Lapham, are working on soll inves tigations. Other scientista have been assigned to study seeds and native tree species.-United Press.
