By JEAN ALLEN International lllnstrated News Writer HOLLYWOOD—Those who are under the impression that a career ends at 40 for the Don Juans and male romantic leads of the screen might do well to cast an eye at the birth certificates of some of the “great lovers" in Hollywood ‘ today. When the suggestion recently ‘ came from Edward Arnold that he might form an "Over Forty” club, a little investigation into the ages , of various leading men produces ‘ surprising results. While there are j a number of younger men who are tops—such actors as Robert Tay- , lor, Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Gary , ! Cooper and James Stewart—many . of the best romantic roles are carried by veterans of 40 or more. , Powell 46 in July William Powell is one of the best < examples in this class. Although 1 he will be 46 in July, Powell is one i of the highest paid headliners in t Hollywood and one of those most I in demand for romantic roles. His recent successes in romantic com- I

RESEARCH CLUB CLOSING LUNCHEON The Research club closed the present club year with its annua! guest i> day luncheon at the Masonic home Monday afternoon. Mrs. Leo Say-11 ' lors. president, presided at the meeting, introducing Mrs. R. W. i Graham, who said grace, after which members of the Eastern Star served a delightfu' two-course luncheon. Mrs. Saylors then gave a brief resume of her two past years as president, thanking the retiring officers for their cooperation. These ; include Mrs. C. M Prngh. secretary, ' Mrs. C. R. Saylors, treasurer; Mrs. j Leonard Saylors, reporter. The following officers for the en-:' suing club year were introduced: Mrs Leonard Saylors, president; ; Mrs. A. R. Holthouse, secretary; : Mrs. W. J Krick, treasurer; Mrs. R. D. Myers, reporter Mrs. O. H. Haubold was then in-. i troduced as chairman of the pro-j gram committee and presided over the following .presentation. 1 The program opened by Mrs. W. ' J. Krick singing McDowell’s “To a | Wild Rose” and Guy D’Hardelot’s "I Know a Lovely Garden.” Mrs. R. W. Graham played the violin obligatos while Mrs. O. H. Haubold accompanied at the piano. Mrs. Haubold then presented the ■ Rev C. M. Prugh. pastor of the Zion Reformed church, who gave a splendid interpretation of Adolf Hitler e "Mein Kampf”. His discussion, so timely and unbiased, was particularly well received. “Adolf Hitler, arrested in 1924 in Munich on a charge of fostering political revolt, found himself nampered in airing his convictions from a cell. So he turned to that usual solution. He wrote an autobioeraiphy which be calls Mein Kampf—My Battle or My Fight. •‘He wae born in 1889 in a village on the Auetro-German border. His father, a custom official, was somewhat irked by his son’s inclinations to spend his time sketching or reading history. By the time he was fifteen he was intensely nationalistic and anti-Semitic. "Hitler states his specific aims as: ‘security of our existence; increase of our race, nourishment of our children, preservation of our blood purity, freedom and independ- i ence of our fatherland in order that our race may come to fulfillment of the mission which the Creator has given it.’’ “Hitlet tea product of post-war

edy parts have further increased his prestige and left the studios clamoring for him to team up with such stars as Myrna Loy, Carole Lombard, Irene Dunne and others 10 years or more younger. Another no longer in the pink cf youth but among the select few always sought for romantic leads is Herbert Marshall. This suave and talented Englishman will be 48 in May yet more than holds his own with the crop of newcomers. Marshall is seldom cast in the strenuous masculine role sometimes assigned Gable or Taylor, but he , has one of the finest speaking voices in the film colony and a worldliness and self-possession ; that eminently qualify him for smart comedy and society romance. ] Ronald Colman is another of this I group whose 40-odd years have • been no handicap in keeping his 1 enviable niche in the cinema ! heavens. Colman is 47 yet only recently scored one of his greatest < triumphs in th • romantic adventure 1 lead of “Lost Horizons”. i And when it comes to fluttering i the hearts of feminine movie- i

Europe. He represents the spirit of i vengeance born from the treaty of ' I ( Versailles. His book emphasizes his , i love for the fatherland and develops . his plans for German overlordship 1 of Central Europe. "Today he proclaims himself lead- I er of Germany and Austria and re- ■ veals his philoshopy as to his moral j i rights by saying, ‘Success is the 1 only earthly judge of right or wrong.” The Decatur high school girl's glee club, directed by Miss Helen < Haubold and accompanied at the ’ piano by Mise Marjorie Miller, sang I “the Prayer” from the opera “Han- ! sei and Gretel,” by Humperdinck, and “In My Garden”, by Firestone. These numbers and two preceding Rev. Prugh’s discussion, added greatly to the pleasure of the after- ( noon. | The guest list included the Mes dames Ward Calland. George Buck- , iey, E. Scott, C. E.

Haney, assisted by the Mesdames L. lA. Graham, R. W. Graham, Daniel Sprang, C. C. Pumphrey, H. B. Heller, Eugene Runyon, Russell Owens and John R. Parrish. The program committee included Mrs. O. H.

I goers, there are few more effective than Warner Baxter who was born 45 years ago and is a veteran of Hollywood. A bit younger, yet over the 40-mark, is Fredric March who at 41 is one of -he busiest and most popular leading men in the film colony. Beery Past 50-Mark Os course, no list of this kind would be complete without mention of John Barrymore whose career dates back to the days of matinee idols. Today this member of the Drew-Barrymore clan is 56, yet carries off with dash many a part which one 30 years younger might well envy. Incidentally his brother, Lionel, was 60 this month. Others among the male headliners, though less identified with romantic roles, include Wallace Beery, 50; Frank Morgan. 48; Edward G. Robinson, 45 and Paul Muni, 44. While it is hardly chivalrous to discuss the ages of the leading ladies of the screen, it might be surprising to many to know how many of the glamorous stars will never see 40 again.

At night we got little sleep for our kidneys were so active it kept us restless and nervous the whole night through. We tried lots of medicines but were getting more run-down and in worse shape all the time. "Retonga took hold of our troubles right away and put us in the finest health we have enjoyed in years. Our food digests fine, and gives us strength. We have both gained weight we had lost; our kidneys and bowels are normal, and we feel fine just like we used to. In all our experience we never before saw a medicine like Retonga.” Such sincere and voluntary statements can leave no doubt of Retonga’s remarkable health-build-ing power.
