(By Paul Simmons AP Feature Service Writer) Atlanta, Ga. An adaptation of an ordinary penny peep show machine and a phonograph may give archeologists of 8113 A. D. a key to aid them In deciphering the civilization of this era. r- The apparatus is an invention of T.

K. Peters, a former news reel photographer and moving picture man. It will be placed in Oglethorpe university's "crypt of civilization," the founders of which expect it to be opened by the inhabitants of this planet 6,175 years hence. Date for the opening of the crypt was chosen, Peters explained, because in 1936, the year the crypt was started, 8113 A. D.

wasi the same distance in the future as the "first fixed date in history," 4241 B. was hi the past. The Egyptian calendar is supposed to date from that year. The crypt, when completed, will be a large rust-proof steel vault-of specially sealed micro-photographic records in metal of all phases of 20th century culture and knowledge. It also will contain models of typical machines, specimens of food and clothing and other objects.

Modern Rosftta Stone While Peters, now a member of the Oylethorpe staff, and Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, president of the university, worked on the crypt, it occurred to them that English might notrbe spoken or known in 8113 A. D. They thought of the Rosctta Stone, an inscribed slab of basalt which Egyptians erected as a key to their language and civilization. Although this stone, discovered in 1799 near Rosetta, Egypt, solved the mystery of Egyptian hieroglyphics, it required several decades tb decipher.

So Peters decided to remove any such difficulty for the finders of the Oglethorpe crypt by making a "talking Rosetta Stone." You See and Hear He obtained a mutoscope (peep show) and now is equipping it with rust-proof gears and bearings and VIUUWVS VV Saturday, Tne remainder win enirain ai Camp Charles L.

When a crank is turned pictures of objects with their names in English will appear on non-corrosive metal sheets in the machine and a voice from a carefully preserved metal phonograph will name the objects. The device, called a "language Integrator," will be placed inside the strong steel door of the crypt. An arrow, picture symbols and simple numbers will indicate its purposes and operation. O'onfuvons Avoided The first thing it will reproduce when the crank is turned will be the alphabet with each letter" carefully pronounced. Then will come pictures, names and spoken symbols of thousands of common objects.

Peters explained that care is being taken to have the visual and spoken symbols of objects perfectly synchronized in the apparatus. "It would not do for a cog to slip in the he said. "We would not want the discoverers of the crypt to see the picture and name of a watermelon, for instance, and hear it called a football. We will see that such a thing does not happen."

How the Ritz brothers meet this situation by hieing themselves to Kentucky and donning beards plus starting a feud or two makes one of the merriest, maddest comedies this trio has even been seen in. Several new musical numbers sung by Tony Martin help add that romantic touch. "One Wild Night" concerns the efforts of a giddy girl reporter, June Lang, to solve a series of crimes. In a certain small city several prominent citizens have been abducted June, tired of writing society columns, decides to try her hand at solving the mysteries and in doing so runs up agalast Dick Baldwin, also engaged in working on the case.

He is very much intrigued by the sport and has become quite good at it. The other day a friend took some motion pictures of him standing up on his surf board and running in before a wave only a little smaller than Pike's Peak. Dennis was incautious enough to show the film to a party of friends, including one of the studio bosses, and an order to stop such dangerous nonsense followed immediately.

But with summer just starting and the dog days Dennis is sore about the whole business. On the other hand, Mickey Rooney, working on "Boystown," was riding high. He was leaping around the stage like a monkey gone berserk. When I Anally cornered him, I learned he had Just received his diploma from Roosevelt high school by the very narrowest of margins. A certain teacher, it seems, was torn between the desire to flunk Mickey for being so troublesome In class and a yearning to pass him to get him out of her hair.

Apparently her pedagogical conscience lost to the tautness of her nerves and Mickey is very, very happy. Watched Jeanctte MacDonald do a Dutch dance routine on the "Sweethearts" set and found her agility amazing. I knew she had been a dancer before Hollywood discovered her voice but that she could caper around so gracefully in a pair of wooden shoes astonished me. I said as much when the scene was finished. "It's Just possible," she smiled, handing one of the shoes to me, "that the reason I can dance with wooden shoes is that they aren't wood.

They're a Hollywood illusion leather with felt soles!" On the same set, Nelson Eddy, a professed gourmet, was delivering a rapturous harangue on French cafes and French cuisine "Chez Nini's and roasted capon Marseilles and He turned to Jeanette Mac-Donald whose face wore a greedy expression. "You've been in Mar seilles," he said. "What am I thinking of?" "Bouillabaisse, I suppose," retorted MacDonald. "But I'm thinking of a platter of Boston baked beans!"

One episode scheduled was a pas-, senger nhip disaster similar to the Morro Castle tragedy.

But the American merchant mai ine has had such terrible publicity in recent years that steamship companies put up an awful squawk when they heard of it. M-G-M might have paid no attention to the complaint was It not necessary to borrow a ship now and then lor a picture. But having to ask this favor, the studio reluctantly agreed to make the burning ship a munitions vessel of undesignated registry. Auain, there was a need, for a fire engine and firemen. The only hook and ladder trucks available belong to the city of Los Angeles and the city refused to permit any but genu ine firemen to handle the equipment for fear of accidents.

No sooner had the studio agreed to this. than the Screen Actors' Guild stepped in and refused to let the firemen appear because they didn't hold Guild cards. After much negotiation it was agreed that real firemen should operate the fire equipment in the film but that actors and stunt men would be paid full time checks for watching from the sidelines. Ran into an un-Hollywoodiih situation on the "Great Waltz" set. Luise Rainer is troubled these days in both a personal and professional way and at times It seems to be too much for her.

Today, while doing a scene with Fernand Gravet, her eyes suddenly filmed over with tears; her voice trembled and she seemed on the verge of breaking down. A tall wom an dashed on the threw an arm about Luise and led her away, talking German like mad. The talker was Miliza Korjus and before long she had Luise back at work. The odd part of the Incident is that Luise and Korjus are really intense rivals. Chatted with a very indignant Dennis O'Keefe on "The Chaser" set.

No immediate benefits follow, and the grocer discovers "CityStrccts" can be cold and grim. When the authorities take the girl away from him and place her in an orphanage, he almost loses his mind. But It all ends happily. The co-hit "Special Agent K7" is thrilling adaptation of the famous radio program.

Walter McOrail, Irving Plrhel, Quecnie Smith and Joy Hodges recently featured in "Merry-Go-Round of 1938" head the stellar cast. "Tim Tyler's Luck" heads the short subjects.
