Now that Universal has completed
the filming of “The Invisible Man'
showing at the Dittmann theatri
Sunday a studio spokesman ex-
plained why a period of more thar
two years was permitted to elaps<
between the purchase of the H G

screen.

graph invisibility. Technicians wen
consulted as is the invariable rule

than shake their heads. Camer
men snorted at the notion and th
individuals responsible for the pur
chase of the story wore a path ii
the carpet leading to the executiv
! desk.

years ago. but not today. And v.
I for two years the problem was dis
cussed while the precious stor
accumulated a few layers of dust ii
the vaults or closets or filin
cabinets or wherever it is the
stories are kept. But the inrisibl
