Rep. Leecraft Sure Denison
Dam to be Built
While certain of the folk in Okla-
homa, among whom is to be found Gover-
nor Phillips, are doing and saying what
they can against the erection of the Deni-
son dam, it is refreshing to know that men
like Col. A. N. Leecraft, Bryan county
Representative, takes the position that the
dam is certain to be built.
In an editorial appearing this week in
the Durant Democrat, which paper is
standing behind the dam with everything
it has, that paper quotes from the Colonel.
The editorial follows:
Notwithstanding the opposition de-
veloped by the governor in his message ov-
er the construction of the flood control
FS"' ■: *
and hydro-electric dam across the Red
River, known as the Denison dam it will
be constructed, says Col. A. N. Leecraft,
Bryan county representative.
Leecraft continues:
"The Federal government is far too
wise to expend almost a million dollars
which had been done in surveys and
other preliminary work, if it was not sure
of the ultimate outcome. In the first place,
Red River is a navigable stream, and as
such comes under the control of the war
department and therefore the dam is no!
constructed out of the usual appropriations
made by Congress, but allocated as need-
ed from a general appropriation to be ex-
pended by the war department for flood
control.
"This money cannot be used for any
other purpose and if Oklahoma and Texas
do not take advantage of this opportunity
of a lifetime in the building of this dam,
other states in the Union will be glad to
have the money spent for flood control on
their rivers.
"In the press is a recommendation by
Major-General Julian L. Schley, chief of
army engineers for a coordinated project
under federal control providing for reser-
voirs at Markham Ferry and Fort Gibson,
Okla., to supplement the $20,000,000
Grand River or Pensacola project now un
der construction. This project is now un-
der state control and before the govern-
ment will put any vast sum of money into
a greater dam and power project it must
.have complete federal control of same
jand a release of any control the state of
' Oklahoma now has over the Grand river
' projects.
"The principal objection to the con-
struction of the dam is found in Marshall
and Johnston counties as a result of the
fact that they are more greatly damaged
by flood inundation.
"In any big project like the Red River
dam some are hurt more than others, but
the big thing in the end is the greater
good to the greater number. It is too bad
for Marshall and Johnston counties that
the constitutional convention provided such
a pitably poor area for those counties that
are unable to support the cost of govern
ment without excessive tax levies. Now to
lose a part of this area is a source of grea
concern to them."

HOLLYWOOD
FILMSHGP
By ALEXANDER KAHN
• ®
HOLLYWOOD (UP)—T h e
question currently rocking Hol-
lywood is whether George Bernard
shaw has forced a new technique
in screen writing by refusing to
allow any changes to be made in
Ms play "Pygmalion" when it
was brought to the screen.
Nobody seems to know the an-
swer—not even W. P. Lipscomb,1
who wrote the screen play from
iShaw's original script.
In Pygmalion," Shaw has sent
to the screen a new form of sce-
nario treatment, one in which the
picture action follows as closely
as possible t<hat of the stage play.
Lipscomb explains just what
this means:
"This types play adaptation
was unheard of for films. They
said it couldn't be done, that it
yould bog down the action, make-
file characters stiff and unreal and
provn tiresome to the audience.
"Mnyhe they were right," con-
tinued Lipscomb, "but t'he fact re-
mains that 'Pyymalion,' which
*iroke all rules laid down by the
film makers, is a smash success.
"When we started on the pic-
ture Shaw had his own ideas 011
how it was to be made. 'Not a
line, not a stroke, not a coTnma of
my play shall be altered,' (he said
and meant it.
"Ever}' screen writer will tell
you that you can't film a play
unless you alter it. But Mr. Sha v
does not hold scenarists in high
regard.
"Durinrr our first conference on
'Pygnmlion' he said, 'I'm here to
see that von don't mfke a mess
of a very fine play—I must insist
that you fihn it as I wrote it.'
"I asoured Shaw thnt if we fol-
lowed tfh's plan. M'p WAllM Ko fiiv.
tain to wind up with a first class
failure.
"His answer was typical. 'I It:
lieve,' he said, "that interesting
ideas with interesting characters
good photography and intelligent
direction will entertain an audi-
ence as much as your eternal Hol-
lywood nonsense of photographing
people running around chasing
each other.'
"He was right, as this picture
proves. But one thing bothers me
Wh t 's to happen to screen writ-
ers if we can't take subjects apart
alter their construction and final-
ly change the title after the pre-
view. How can we held our jobs?
"Tf Shaw wins out, it may be
a sad day for scenarists. We may
even have to go to work."

Interesting
Bits
^Jbout Our Friends
Most of those with whom we
ha,-e talked about the proposed
"transaction tax" of W. Lee O'-
Daniel to raise funds for the pen-
sion program, .are against the idea
on the ground it is only a hair's
^rxadth from a treneral salec tar.
The suggestion to disnose of the
pd valorem tax as an offset, seems
onlv a ki"d of son thrown out
to many. Why is it not more equi-
table to tax pronertv on the basi*
of its va'tie, rather than to maVe
everv man who made a ca«h
transition din- un more tav? pithi-
ness is alreadv taxed to the lim-1
and to add still more, is n'ani""
the State on g rstill more handi-
canoed bas's some interviewed
declare. We want to thank all
t>inRn v,tisiness men who tell u=
thev do not annreciate the
on the Press bv an onnonent tin-
ner. They declare thev want th*
Press to remain in the field and
pre foiryr to fin more to he'o US
along. Thanks, gentlemen. We
are just a group of poor boys
come in from the country, trying
to make a living in town. We are
making a contribution to Denison,
we believe, and many others think
so too. If we tried to crush out
every fellow who comes into the
city who is in the same line of
work in which we are engaged,
how far would we get in building
up anything?
