JOHN GILBERT
HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—(AP)
—Johr: Gilbert, 39, great lover
of the scrcen, died today at
his home here from a heart
attack.
Death of the movie actor
was revealed this morning
when the fire department was
called to his residence in an
effort to revive him with an
inhalator.
Four times married, and
for many years one of the
most romantic figures in mov
ies, Gilbert was born in Lo
gan, Utah, July 10, 1897. His
real name was John Pringle.
His parents both were stage
players. One of his first pic
tures was as a cowboy extra
in a William 8. Hart film.
Gilbert was divorced the
fourth time last May, when
Virgina Bruce, formerly of
the Follies, got a decree after
and eight months. She was
awarded the custody of their
nine months old baby, Susan
Ann Gilbert.
Before this brief romance
he had been divorced succes
sively from Olivia Burwell, a
Mississippi girl: Leatrice Joy
and llna Claire, both well
known actresses.

THREE-DIMENSION
NVIOVIES PERFECTED
BY EARL AYKROID
CHICAGO — (&) — George K.
Spoor, veteran Chicago motion
picture producer, announced today
his company would begin produc
tion of three-dimension picture=
within 90 days.
Spoor described the newly per
fected process as a long strike
toward bringing the realism of the
legitimate stage to the screen be
cause the new film will give the
impression of depth as well as
height and breadth.
The cameras used in this nae
ural vision arrangement will first
be focused on stage plays as they
are acted in a New York studio
where the venture will be center
ed. Later, Spoor said, it was
planned to produce operas with
the original casts.
The new photography is the re
sult of 20 years of research by
Spoor and his co-inventor, P. Paul
Berggren, engineer and physicist.
The prefected system, Spoor saia,
represenis an investment of $4,-
000.000.
The first natural vision plcture,
“Danger Lights” was produced with
the Spoor-Berggren procesg sever
al years ago but was soon with
drawn for further research.
Spoor said his company would
release the first of the new typs
movies by next May. Only stage
plays received favorably by the
public will be filmed, he emphasiz
ed.
Explaining the Spoor-Berggren
system, the producer said it gave
the impression of startling reality.
The depth effect lis obtained
through the use of special cameras
and alens in which the characteris
ticg of human vision were incor
porated.
““The cptical results of natural
wision,” Spoor said, “have been de
fined to a state of perfection farw
