&m STAR IN MOVIES PUZZLE TO HOLLYWOOD Lawrence Tibbett Lacking in Temperament: Likes Simple Life. B.v Timm Svcial HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Feb. 21. Hollywood is all upset. It can’t make heads or tails of Lawrence llbbett, the first real big-time opera star ever to dally in its midst. Hollywood, whose three tin gods are Swank, Temperament and FourFlush. can’t believe yet that Tibbett is a real opera star, never would believe it but for his voice. It’s the same voice that raises the pulse beat of New York’s Metropolitan opera audiences all right. Tibbett, the first opera star to sing in the talkies, the highest paid baritone in the world, has left the high-hat segment of the movie colony gasping at his complete lack of temperament and affectations. Hollywood soon discovered that he loathed valets and did his own dressing, that he sang popular hits under the showerbath, that ho dismissed the luxurious motor car put his disposal and walked to work, •hat he hates to be called “Mister,” that he jammed his way into the stur'io commissary and ate at whatever vacant place he could find, that he worked overtime and seemed to like it. And Hollywood’s idea of what a star should be, particularly an opera star, isn’t like that. Tibbett explains it all with perfect naturalness in an interview' in the current Photoplay magazine. “You see. I'm just not built that way,” he says. “I guess I’m still

Senator on Horseback

Horsemanship and statecraft share the interest of Senator William E. Borah and it’s by regular appearances on bridal paths in the nation’s capital that the dynamic Idaho legislator keeps fit for his arduous duties as chairman of the important senate foreign relations committee. Here you see him on his favorite mount, “Governor,” during a morning canter in beautiful Rock Creek park, Washington.

dazed by my success on the opera stage. It wasn’t so long ago I was singing for $lO a show on the stage, or $5 if I could get no more.” He's that way, perfectly willing to talk of an honest and humble background that players less sure of themselves usually try to hide. He tells how he borrowed on his life insurance to get to New York and

study singing, how he plugged and worked in obscure roles for three years before his voice one night raised the Metropolitan’s audience to its feet. He’ll even tell how Uncle Ed ran the best saloon in Bakersfield, Cal., in other days. “Why not?” he demands. “I’m mighty proud of it. As I said, it w r as the best saloon in town.’’

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MORE EDUCATED STUDENTS ARE LESS WARLIKE Protestants Have Edge in Pacifism on Catholics, Survey Shows. Bv Science Service CHICAGO, Feb. 21.—War or peace? That question was put to 1,400 University of Chicago students by means of a forty-four item questionnaire prepared by D. D. Droba of the university's psychological laboratory. The more educated students are less war-loving than those w r ho have completed less of their college work. Women are less militaristic than men. Protestants are more pacifistic than Catholics. Socialists are more in favor of peace than either Republicans and Democrats. And ex-soldiers tend to be more militaristic than men who have never gone to war. Students of American parentage have better opinions of war than students of mixed and foreign parentage. The experiment under the sponsorship of Professor L. L. Thurstone demonstrates, Droba explains, that “attitude toward the Issue of war vs, peace can be measured by modern psychological methods.” “Neither intelligence nor neurotic personality is related to pacifistic and militaristic attitudes,” Droba stated. “Avery slight tendency was found for students of high scholarship to be pacifists rather than militarists. “Catholic and Lutheran seem to be, on the average, the least pacifistic churches of the ten compared. Protestant denominations taken together are more pacifistic than the

Catholics. Jews appear to be more favorable to peace than the Protestants, but allowance must be made for the large percentage of students of foreign parentage among the Jews.” Wealth plays no significant part in affecting the students’ attitudes toward this matter, Droba’s test shows. “No significant differences in attitudes were found between groups classified according to monthly expenses,” he concluded. Nor did the various occupations of the students’ fathers appear to in-

fluence their views on the average on this subject of peace vs. war. The chief discovery in connection with occupations of the fathers was that the sons and daughters of business men have more uniform ideas on w*ar and peace than do the children of tradesmen or professional men.

ment is collecting and cataloguing, it takes only five minutes for experts there to discover whether duplicates of some submitted finger-prints are on file, stataes J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the investigation bureau. Sixteen hundred prints received in one morning’s mail will be classified and letters regarding them written within forty-eight hours. Neither courts nor juries need any further convincing about the reliable evidence of finger-prints, Hoover said, because while a man's appearance may change, his fingerprints never do.
