Harvard Men, Tired Of Hollywood Make Film With Kiss In Eighty Minutes
Cambridge, Mass.—(U.P.)—A group of Harvard students, rebelling against Hollywood movie fare presented the world premiere recently of their own film.
The 80-minute silent picture starring a pair of undergraduates identified only as X and Z was two years in the making.
Titled, "The Touch of the Times," the picture represents the pooled cinematic efforts of 54 Harvard students with a few stage-struck Radcliffe college girls and some characters picked up off the streets for local color.
The heroine, who bestows a single swift kiss on the hero in the course of some 3,000 feet of film, is similarly anonymous. She is known as Y.
The group goes by the name of Ivy films.
The company was founded by William L. Alden, 22, of Wellesley. He and his associates gave their all to the picture, including their blood. They sold blood at $25 a pint for
They sold blood at $25 a pint for money to buy film.
To make the film they also had to dodge Boston policemen who chased them off Beacon hill almost every time they set up their cameras. They spent three nights in a subway car to shoot one scene.
The film plot is a mite confusing to the uninitiated spectator, but Alden described it as a comic fantasy with a story that goes something like this:
"X works in a factory. He has a girl friend named Y. He takes up kite-flying as an escape from his humdrum life. Kite-flying spreads to be a national craze. Factory production halts while the workers quit to go fly their kites. X gets fired as a troublemaker. Y leaves him for the lure of his boss' limousine. Then the bosses negotiate a contract stipulating that everyone flies his kite at the same height. People stop chasing each other. Curtain."
"Touch of The Times" cost the Ivy films boys $1,400, including a mile of film wasted because of inexperience.
It won't win any Oscar.
It won't win any Oscar.
But said Alden, "so much trash is coming out of Hollywood these days we felt that if a few artistic movies could be made, may be peopole would demand a change."
Home Ec Club Plans Tea For Officer
A check for $147, collected from uniform rentals, was given the Home Economics club by Mrs. Jessie Stene, instructor in home economics, at a recent meeting.
Members have planned a tep for Miss Frances Urban, national field secretary of the American Home Economics association, said Roselyn Skonberg, education senior and president of the group.
Miss Skonberg announced that the Towle Silver company will send a representative here late in March to show silver patterns to University women. Selection of patterns from which silverware is made will be based on choices made here by the women.
Marvin S. Hensley, former University student, spoke to the Society for Advancement of Management about method engineering in the mail order business recently.
Engineer Explains Mail OrderToSAM
Mr. Hensley, industrial engineer for Sears-Roebuck and company, Kansas City, Mo., told the group that method engineering in clerical work of all types, including mail order, develops good jobs from menial tasks and less cost and better wages are the by-products. The general and effective rule is to combine rather than specialize.
Charles Fry, business senior, was elected to serve on the planning committee for the new industrial management award. S.A.M. will make this award for the first time at their banquet, May 18. Other committee members are: William Champion, education sophomore, chairman; Wayne Smith, business junior; Frank T.
