ford previously have been mentioned. The new see- , nario will have special dialogue by John Mahin, one of the smarter young writers of Hollywood. , You’ll be asking, of course, “Can Jean Harlow sing?” I don’t know that she can—at least not well enough to make a career of it—but then neither can a lot of professional torch singers. This will be a problem for the man in the sound booth, anyway. What M-G-M wants is a pair of colorful characters for its two hightemperature lovers, and here they have it. Howard Hawks will supervise the new film. He expects to start in about 10 days. Speaking of love interest, they were kidding Bob Hopkins the other day about not getting enough of it in one of his stories. Bob, who is getting grizzled around the temples, snorted. “Boy. give me 250 yards off that first tee every morning and you can have Garbo!” HOLLYWOOD PARADE. With that cool nerve that stuck to him always, Wilson Mizner said before he fell into his last sleep: “Well, boys, I guess this is the main •vent.” A little while later he died. Strange, the ways of coincidence. The other day Fred Kley walked onto the “Jennie Gerhardt” set at Paramount and saw an old trunk that had a familiar look. Upon examination, it proved to have his name stenciled in faded letters upon its end. Kiey bought the trunk in 1904 when he was manager for Dustin Farnum in a road company. In 1910 he sold the battered veteran to an old trunk man in New York. The

routine of business games were enjoyed and refreshments were served by Miss Elston and her mother Mrs. Wm. Elston. o Three Men Sentenced — Lima, O„ Apr. 26.—(U.R) —Tltree men were sentenced to life imprisonment late Tuesday when they pleaded guilty to murder and robbery charges arising from the death of Claude Shafer, 75-year-old meat dealer, who was strangled to death ! in liis bed last Wednesday. Those, sentenced were Mjc Miller, 20, and I Porter Taylor, 23, both negroes, and Edgar Westbay, 23. The trio implicated a woman, Helen Stukenborg, charging that she planned,the crime. The woman pleaded not guilty. o Teachers Stopped From Entering Bank Chicago April 26 —(UP) A cordon of police used 'iiight sticks to drive back a jeering mob of 1,000 unpaid Chicago teachers who tried to force their way into tho First National Bank today. Half a dozen women teachers felt the sting of the officers’ clubs as mounted police prevented them I from entering the bank. o —......— Condition Os Vasko Girl Is Satisfactory New York. April 26. (U.R) —Helen ; Vasko, two-year-old daughter of an ' unemployed laborer, appeared to N be recovering today from the Im-1 mediate effects of an operation in I which her left eye was removed in I an attempt lo sav, her from aI. malignant tumor growing toward Iher brain. Although it may be weeks before I doctors can tell whether she will | live, Dr. John 11. Diinnington, who ! removed the eye in a 13-minute j operation yesterday afternoon, said immediately afterward that her condition was “entirely satisfactory.” The hospital reported today there had boon "no change." The operation is one- which is conceded a 50-50 chance of saving the patient's life. o Church Has 80th Anniversary , Louisiana, Mo. —(UP)—Tine First Baptist Church ol Louisiana, organized in 1853. recently celebrated its Bth anniversary. It is one of Hie oldest Protestant churches west of the Mississippi River. — " ■" ■■ o— — — No Entertainment for Cops Brockton, Mass. —(UP) —Radios on Brockton police cars have been ordered locked a' a certain wav*! length to prevent police on duty : from listening lo broadcasts more ' entertaining than crime news.

apparent explanation is that the eastern Paramount studio bought it as a prop and that the west coast plant eventually fell heir to it. A letter from Patsy Ruth Miller tells that she is still in London. She has not joined Tay Garnett, because the Swiss location for “S. 0. S. Ice-' berg” has showed a temperature of about 10 degrees below zero. She and Tay will meet in Berlin when he has finished these scenes of the picture.... Soon now, Gloria Stuart expects to leave for Guadalajara, Mexico. It will be her first vacation in 12 pictures. . . . Apparently, Nancy Carroll will not take her trip immediately. Saw her lunching at a Hollywood rendezvous and she says she may go to New York but not to Europe. If Mary Pickford does “Peter Pan,” she will break away from tradition and use a real dog to play the part of “Nana,” the children’s nurse. By the use of trick sound effects, the dog will be given a deep bass voice. The star also has plans to utilize the full flexibility of the camera. Did you hear that Bob Montgomery’s house caught on fire the other evening? He and some guests were just sitting down to dinner when they smelled smoke. “Pardon me,” said Bob, “I believe the house is afire.” By the time the department arrived, Bob was atop the roof and had about extinguished the blaze. ... Alexander Gray (remember him in Warner musicals?) is back in

THOUSANDS OF TROOPS KILLED Chinese Troops Sutler Heavily In Last Five Days of Fighting Peiping, April 26. — (U.R) — The Cltiiieee lost seven battalions and thousands killed and wounded in the last five days of heavy fighting for the pass in the great wall at Kupeikou, General Ho Ying-Ching, Chinese minister of war, said in an official communique today. Chinese resistance to Japanese invasion of China proper has cost 19,000 casualties to date, General Ho said. Sixty-six per cent were wounded who died because of the lack of field hospitals and the remoteness of the fighting to established institutions. Even as General Ho was issuing his communique, dispatch bearers brought word of sanguinary fighting between Nantienmen and Kupeikou where General Wang I-Chieh, commander of the second division, was engaging Japanese detachments commandered by Generals Kawahara and Nishi. Heavy casualties on both sides were reported. The Chinese claim to have recaptured Nantienmen was confirmed by the Japanese legation and Colonel Wetzel, German military advisor to the Chinese army.
