By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright. 1134. Klnc F««tur«i Hyndivau. Inc HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Countrymen of Karl Dane are smarting under the inference that the former film player would have gone to a pauper's grave if the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio hadn't stepped in to

pay the funeral I expenses. Jean Her - ; sholt, as near excited as I have ) ever seen him, , -wants me to explain why the actor’s body was allowed to lie 1 unclaimed until Monday mom- , ing. “None <vf us knew about his suicide until we i read it in the | Sunday papers,” declared Jean.

“Nothing could be done ahout it that day, but the Danish Relief AsI sociation and a half dozen people | called me up offering to bury Karl. i We were ready to notify the morgue ! when the studio, without solicita- | tion from anyone, took over the funeral.” 1 Jean, who knew Karl in the old studio days, was one of filmland’s representatives at the services. It was he who called various of his eountrymen in Hollywood and took ! an active part in arranging the final i rites. A little group of English players and writers working out here ease their nostalgia by gathering every Sunday night for cold roast beef j suppers at the Leslie Howards. Here, may be found Nigel Pruce, the actor; Reginald Berkeley, adapter of “Cavalcade”; Monkton Hoff and Roland Pertwee, also i slaves to scenarios; Madeleine Carroll, the actress whose beauty and charm have upset half the males in Hollywood, and the William Garpans. Bill is an Irishman but gets in on a rain check. Later on. the entire party may move over to the Colony Club whore Howard, frequently in his carnet slippers, wins the title of Hollywood’s most nonchalant patron of the midnight rendezvous. Mrs. Leslie Carter. Ethel and John Barrymore and various ydts have delivered paralysing squelches in their time, but I like the reply Sidney Blacknier made reveral picI tures ago to an actress who accused him of trying to hog the camera.

are not. We have got to discov-' er, however, the right way and , the wrong way.” He counselled patience by the’ ; people during the development of the program. "I would like to see greriie* enthusiasm for planning because it takes a good many years to see ( I results." he explained. "We are j very apt to see the panacea as| > legislation to cure all our trou- | I les in 30 days. "We’re lazy, we like to ' think ahead. We've got to think . ahead.” .Mr. Roosevelt dismissed talk of I regimentation of large masses. "There is to be no regimenta- i j tion." he said. "We are not going i I to lake people by force from one i community and put them in ani other." i He did. however, suggest to the

With quiet contempt, he said: “Pardon me, but 1 play for the value of the scene, not for points." In his more elfin moments, the rotund Herr Lubitsch rivals Vines Barnett or any of the Hollywood ribbers. A recent arrival to work in “The Merry Widow” is Bela Loblov, the violinist. Approaching the musician in businesslike manner, the director asked him to play the obligato “Vilia” into the microphone just as a test for his violin. Lobiov put his soul into the piece while Jeanette MacDonald, Maurice Chevalier and the rest of the company stood raptly by. Then Lubitsch called for a playback. Like molten gold came the opening notes. Suddenly there came a faint discord, then a flow of plainly sour tones. Lobiov trembled, looked at his instrument with the stricken eyes of a man betrayed by his love. It was five minutes before a roar of laughter told him that Lubitsch had faked the play-back for a gag. The local assessor’s office was completely flabbergasted when Leila Rogers (Gin-

n ’ i fc 4 • i Leila Rogers

ger’s Ma) asked for a veteran’s tax exemption and displayed a n honorable discharge of a sergeant in the Marine Corps. Conferences and head - scratchings came to naught. The discharge was there and Leila's name was on it. The lowdown is, she got it for serving in the

publicity department of the Marine Corps during | the World War. Many will say that he is talking i through his bat, but Will Rogers insists that polo will soon become as popular a game as baseball is today. The comedian plays a mean I chukker himself, and most of his I youngsters are proficient at the ' game. To help popularize the sport, I Will has turned his ranch over to I schools and colleges for a practice field.

"If we look at this thing iron) the broad national point of view we are going to make it a ! national policy if it takes 1,0 j years." In discussing Ahe benefits of i subsistence homesteading, Mr. 1 Roosevelt descrilied it as "one of my own pet children.” "The time is now ripe, overripe, for planning to prevent in the future the errors of the past and to carry out social and eco- | noniie veiws new to the nation." 33 CANDIDATES ARE INITIATED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) the visiting Moope in the liasement of the building.

SCHOOL COSTS CUT IN STATE (CONTINUED FttOM t-AGB ONE) since ItKK, the department records show. tin H)3l when public schools had a total enrollment of 675,352 in grade and high schols, the total operating cost was $57,667,426. A toI tai of 24,4117 persons were engaged as instructors, making an average teacher-load on 27.5 pupils. Average cost for instruction per pupils was | $28.90. Operating costs of 1932-33 were reduced nearly $11,000,000 under the 1930-31 figure, total being $46,817.035. On a basis of 697,170 .pupils an increase of 22418, the average cost per pupil was decreased from 028 9 to $18.98. A total of 22,829 teachers were employed at the close of the 1932-33 school year. With passage of the state excise, intangible and gross income tax laws by the 1933 legislature, the financial burden on school units has materially reduced during the past year. For the eight-monlh perlo i between July 1. 1933, ami March 1, 1934, the state distributed s'J,Bßil.544.04 to school units Besides the three new taxes, revenue was derived from the state general fual, which is supplied through a general tax levy. Revenue from the gross income income tax is sent back into school channels to help pay salaries of teachers. Tue law was planned to allow state payment of S6OO toward the annua! salary of every public school teachers-

The latter said, following the interview, that he had informed Phillips that .press accounts of Japan’s “hands-off China” policy substantially reflected the funds I ntentals upon which Japan was , prepared to stand. He assured I Phillips that Japan had no intention or desire to violate her ob- . ligations under the nine power > treaty, nor to "close entirely" the six’s Hod "open door” in China.

Rise In (Jold Price Brings Boom to Alaska SEATTLE (U.R) The rise in the price of newly-mined gold to $35 an ounce, opening of canneries I and fishing grounds, has started ' a new rush to Alaska. The Alaska Steamship Company announced they were bring ing 13 vessels out of moorings and were overhauling them In expectation of one of tile largest passenger and freight cargo year in history. The steamship Yukon left port recently with every passenger accommodation filled, and loaded to capacity with cargo.
