‘Scotty's’ Million Dollar Shack

l 1 A

Down in the depths of Death Va.'ley. the nation's most desolate and heat-stricken area, 100 artisans are at work on the latest exploit of colorful “Death Valley" Scotty—erection of a million-dollar shack. Scotty ; v it's him a winter home for me and my partner, Albert Johnson, millionaire Chicago insurance magnate and we're .splitting tho-'cost fifty-fifty.” Scotty’s source of wealth has remained a mystery since the day: twenty years ago when he first amused the nation with Special limited trains and plain and fancy spending. Scotty and the house are pictured above.

RADIO HELPED GIRL TO BE A MOVIE STAR Cariotta King Sings Role of Margot in “The Desert Song” Opens at the Apollo Theater Saturday. NOW comes the radio to play an important part in the discovery of new i alent for the insatiable maw of the form of theatrical entertainment that has set the world agog—the talking picture. Get in touch with that girl first thing tomorrow morning—tonight if possible . . .” J L Warner, head of the Warner Brothers’ Vitaphone studios on the coast, sat. in his Hollywood home with one ear turned toward a radio set that was going full steam ahead. If one flower groAs alone in your garden Soft petals blooming must wither some day.

“If she’s at all good looking, ask ZanucK to see her right away. She's got, just the voice we want!" Warner shouted into the telephone. "Wait, a minute! Wait a minute! Here's the announcer. I'll get . . Silence ensued, save for the stentoriam tones that now came over the air. "And you have just been listening to Miss Cariotta King, the wellknown concert soloist singing One Flower in Your Garden,’ from the popular operetta, The Desert Song!' ” “That's the name. Cariotta King.” Mr. Warner turned again to the telephone. "Get in touch with her quick!” One day later Cariotta King signed a contract to sing the important role of Margot in Warner Brothers’ Vitaphone production of that same operetta. "The Desert Song,” coming to the Apollo Saturday. And all because Warner happened to be listening in to a radio program of an evening. Prior to her appearance in "The Desert-Song,” Miss King had little experience in motion picture work, despite the fact that she had been living in California for some years.

Instead, she was doing concert work and appearing as piano soloist with symphony orchestras; for two years .she toured as a soloist in vaudeville. Miss King’s musical ability is inherited. Her father was a singer, her mother was a pianist. At the age of three years the actress appeared with her parents in concert and sang before an audience of five thousand people. In “The Desert Song” Miss King plays and sings-opposite John Boles, the tenor hero. Sigmund Romberg's delightful score is rendered by the Vitaphone symphony orchestra. Roy del Ruth directed the screen operetta. nan Indianapolis theaters today offer: "The Scarlet Woman,” at English's: Charlies Davis at the Indiana; ''Show' Boat” at the Circle; “Close Harmony" at the Ohio; "The Voice of the City” at Loev r 's Palace; "The Pace That Kills” at the Isis; “Red Hots” at the Mutual, and the Colonial Players at the Colonial. On Sunday the Lyric theater will reopen. The first bill will feature Fred Wa ring’s Pennsylvanians in “Syncopation.”

SENATORS HAVE BLOOD DISEASE LaFollette, Howell Stricken With Curious Ailment. Scinu-c Sen ior WASHINGTON. May 10.—A curious disease is causing two middle.western senators considerable pain and discomfort, and forcing them to eliminate most exercise from their itineraries. The disease is known as phlebitis, an inflammation of the veins. Acute phlebitis is a painful and very serious disease. The two senators who are suffering are young Senator Robert LaFollette of Wisconsin, and Senator Robert B. Howell, of Nebraska. In both cases, one leg particularly is affected. ‘Senator LaFollette has been suffering for three years, particularly after strenuous campaigns, and has to wear a heavy rubber bandage on his leg most of the time. Senator Howell seems to have contracted the trouble during his last campaign, when he slipped and fell as he was leaving a platform. For six months, doctors at the naval hospital kept him on his back, and have only recently allowed him to go back to his office, with instructions to be very careful. In phlebitis, the vein becomes inflamed and there is considerable pain and swelling in the surrounding tissues. The blood in the inflamed vein is very apt to clot. Loosening of such a clot is extremely dangerous, so rest is an essential factor in the treatment of phlebitis. Treatment must be adapted to the individual case. Usually phlebitis results in obliteration of the vein.

HOPE SEEN FOB SENATE QUIZ OF* TEXTILE STRIKE i Labor Leaders Denounce Conditions in South at Hearing. Hit Bcripps-Htncnrd Xcictip'iprr Alliance WASHINGTON, May 10.—'The interest in the southern textile strike shown by members ol the senaie manufacturers committee gave hope today to sponsors of the resolution of Senator Burton K. Wheeler, Montana, for a senate inquiry on the situation. The committee Thursday heard President McMahon of the United Textile W'orkers, and Elizabeth Bowen, secretary-treasurer of the Textile union at Elizabethton, Tenn. President William Green of the 1 American Federation of Labor ap--1 peared Wednesday. Green indicated the mill owners j and Chambers of Commerce of the | south as the real instigators of so- ! called communism, by the long hours, low wages and working conI ditions they allow to exist. Import Soldiers In Elizabethton, he said. 800 solj riiers with machine guns mounted on top of the mills have been irnj ported into a peaceful mountain community “to solve a problem which sensible men in conference could settle in five minutes.” He read communications from | chambers of commerce all over the j south, which he said were trying to | attract northern mills, offering child , and woman labor at $6 to sls a ! week, fifty-five hours to sixty hours I ! a week with no restriction on night | work, as inducements. Some of the wage scales quoted for women were as follows: Florence, S. C., $6 to sl2; Sumter. S. C„ $lO to sl2 for a fifty-five-hour week; Jackson. Tenn., sll to sl6 for fiftyseven hours: Johnson City, near Eliabetliton, $lO to $lB for fifty-six hours; Kingston. N. C., sl2 to sl6 for sixty hours; Wilson, N. C., $12.50 to $13.50. Turn to Communism “The night shift is longer than the day shift in most of these com- ' munities, said Green. “The people i there know nothing about commun- | ism. yet in North Carolina they : turned in their desperation of communistic leaders. The A. F. of L. is fighting communism and for Americanism. but God knows what may happen if such condition? continue. He quoted an appeal of church : leaders headed by Bishop James j Cannon made more than a year I ago to mill owners to better con- ! ditions. I More Visitors Than Residents MUNICH, May 10.—More visitors ; entered this city during 1928 than ! there are citizens living in it. Pop- ! ulation of the city is about 710.000. ; Visitors numbered more than 870,I 000. Os the visitors. 124,836 came j from foreign countries.
