BIMEE ENTERS ■TALKIE' FIELD FOR PICTURES Hlms Being Made To Present Her Sermons On Four Square Gospel By George H Beale (United Press Staff Correspondent) Hollywood, July 11—(UP)-Alinee Semple McPherson, the wo; Id’s best known woman evangelist, has decided to get into the motion picture talkie swim. , , . The famous proprietor of Angelus temple has no intention, however, of entering into competition with the wizards of the film colony. She expects, rather, to make a series of’talkie films which will carry her -ermons and the pageantry surroundjug them to the various branches of her Four Square Gospel. Through the use of talking films she believes she can extend her influence and increase the attendance in the 800 churches which acknowledge her as leader. She plans to have screens placed in a ll the branches and to have her own b . x ts become a weekly featuie in all the organizations affiliated with the mother church. Angelus Temple. On the face of it her talkie experiment should accomplish its very obJect. Those who have observed her generally have agreed that Mrs. McPherson's personal magnetism is largely responsible for the growth of her entire religious system Presuming that to be true, Mrs. McPherson in talkies should be able to jam het branch churches even as she regularly fills her 5.000 capacity An geuls Temple. The idea of having Mrs. McPherson in pictures is not a new one at all. Since the time she returned from the desert with her story of the miracle of her escape from Rosie and Steve, the kidnappers, she has been sought after by Hollywood's producers. All of them have wanted to get Mrs. McPherson’s personality and her box office appeal into pictures. In each instance, however, the producers wished to present her as the evangelist in a regular motion picture story while Mrs. McPherson asked that her Four Square Gospel be made the subject of the film Just as the idea of appearing in a worldly picture never could draw Mrs. McPherson to the kleigs, the idea of trying to make a long Broadway run of one of her set mons never appealed to the producers. The screen colony’s technicians, cameramen and the like will be utilized by Mrs. McPherson in her talkies No doubt she, herself, will do the directing. i TEN BEST SELLERS FICTION 1. The Black Camel.

HORSES ARE HERE TO STAY Buffalo, July 10 —(UP) —It has been reported without authority during the last few years that Old Dobbin, most willing of beasts of but den, is gradually becoming extinct in this country but the recent assertion of Wayne Dinsmore, secretary of the Horse Association of Ametica, seems to shatter any such belief. According to Dinsmore, the equine population in this country today exceeds 20,500,000, with the prospects of multiplying instead of decreasing. I his, Dinsmore said, will not force the future generation to go to a museum to gain some idea of what Old Dobbin’’ once looked like. Association records show that 1,500. 000 horses are in the cities of the United States. The remaining "hay-burn-ers’ are on farms where their usefulness is greatly appreciated—and needed. Dinsmore declared that breeding has been revived, with the United States laving more and better horses than any other nation. With only the finest grade horses being bred, Dinsmore said breeding is now on a better basis Hun ever. lowa leading the other

Never has there been -such a tun on red dyes. Greens and yellows, which started the season well have disappeared from the skyline Only reds are seen where smart women gather. There are many other extravagant Ideas bom with hot weather. Such for example as pleated straw sunshades ■silk soekettes to protect the foot in the shoe and still leave the limb bare to the cooling winds. Women’s bathing garb has undergone a novel change.
