DETROIT DRY AS SAHARA,AFTER GANGJURDER Prohibition Really in Force in Wake of Election and Buckley Killing. Thl* U the third of Mreral starlet he ■rare Calton/.taff writer tar The Times •and ST.h Serrlee. who Is ''earerlnf" the ,niilt| sttaatlan that has developed In Detroit lnee the tan* warder of Gerald Barkley, radio <te erosader. BY BRLX’E CATTON, VIA Service Writer DETROIT, July 30.—Because of a special election and the murder of Gerald Buckley, radio vice crusader, this city today is really dry for the first time since the national prohibition iaw went into effect. The doors of the “blind pigs.” that have swung merrily to admit the thirsty .or ten long years, are closed. Detroit, which has enjoyed —or endured—the reputation of being one of America's wettest cities, has suddenly discovered that going dry is a process that can be accomplished, temporarily at least, in one day. That is, if it is really desired to accomplish this. The job was done easily, if somewhat mysteriously. Or.e morning, a few days after toe recall election and a scant forty-eight hours after the city's sensational murder, the saloons were open for business as usual. Shortly after noon the word went out to close up. By night-fall Defroit was a desert. Two Factors Enter It was just as simple as that. Everything dates back to these two startling developments—the election and the murder. First, Mayor Charles Bowles, who has been in office for only six months, was recalled from office in a special election that climaxed one of the bitterest campaigns Detroit has ever seen. Two hours after the final result was announced, Buckley, popular radio broadcaster, who had fought Mayor Bowles with all his power throughout the campaign, was shot to death by three gunmen in the lobby of the La Salle hotel. Those two events turned Detroit topsy-turvy. They explain, among other things, the city’s unprecedented aridity.

Booze Issue in Campaign Durng the recall campaign one of the chief points at issue was Detroit’s reputation as a wide open town. Mayor Bowles had been elected on a reform platform. During last fall's campaign he had assailed the blind pigs—they call the saloons by that name here, instead of calling them speakeasies the gambling joints and the disorderly houses, and had promised a house cleaning. But he had been in office only a short time before it was discovered that conditions were worse than they had been before. The “blind pigs" were thriving, with only perfunctory attempts at concealment. Disorderly houses were numerous. The police made plenty of raids. Commissioner Thomas Wilcox points out that they have raided 1,100 blind pigs in two months; but somehow the biggest ones escaped untouched. The problem of bringing prohibition to Detroit seemed as unsolvable as ever. Then Came Prohibition Then came the election, the •rushing defeat of Mayor Bowles, end the murder of Buckley—and, Immediately theieafter, prohibition. The police launched a great series of raids two nights after the election. But it was not the raids that did the trick. Investigators who made the rounds of the “blind pigs" found them locked up; or else they were dark and empty, with the proprietors standing in the doorways and waving prosoectiie customers away with the remark, “The town's too hot now, bo vs—we got the word to close up and stay closed for a few weeks." Beat Raiders to It How did “the word'' go out? Nobody can sav. But go out it did, to the dismay of the thirsty. Police Commissioner Wilcox vows that the city will be dry “from nowon. as long cs I'm commissioner of police." His raiding squads are still busy, mopping up such obscure corners as were missed by the mysterious “word" in its strange peregrinations through the city. But for *he most part they are not needed. The wise boys—and Detroit's liquor sellers, taken as a group, are as canny as the next ones—didn't wait for the raiders. ASKS BOND SALE DATA Ohio River Bridge Details Sought From Kentucky Official. The Kentucky highway commission today was requested by John J. Brown, Indiana highway director, for documentary evidence and details of the sale of bonds by Kentucky for financing its share of construction of the $4,000,000 Ohio river bridge at Evansville. The report will be presented to Indiana highway commissioners at a conference. Brown said, in his letter to Clifford E .Smith, deputy at-torney-general of Kentucky.

DAW RORIMER had been In Hollywood two weeks whan be eot a letter from an old newspaper friend in New York. ZIGOY YOUNG. telling him to look up a vouna airl named ANNE WINTER. who had come to Hollywood from Tulsa. Okie., to crash the movies. Dan ts somewhat'annoved at the tone of Zleavs letter. The latter Is one who takes favors for ersnted. He complains to PAUL COLLIER, who Is present when he aets the letter. Collier. who writes a daily movie oolumn for a strtna of newspapers. Is unfeellna tn the matter and tells him his duty to Zlaav Is clear. Bo Dan aets tn touch with Anne Winter—and Is literally taken oft hi* feet bv her charm. tun takes iwr to dinner and suaaests that thev dance later: and at her reouest he tells her about himself—how he had vn up newspaper work about a year before to write Action and how one of his stories had been bouaht bv the movies, a circumstance that led to ms sianlr.a a contract as a scenario writer for Continental Pictures.

CHARIER TWO SINCE coming to Hollywood Anne Winter had worked one day as an extra. Rorimer had said, as they left the Brown Derby: “Tell me now about vourself. I've been very good, I think, to wait, all through dinner.” “What did Ziggy Young tell you about me?” she asked. “He said you had come out here to work in pictures. . . . You’ve had stage experience, haven't' you?” “Did Ziggy Young tell you that?” Rorimer said no. “Its in your voice; Ziggy didn’t have to tell me.” But her voice, he told himself, was not all. There was a definite poise about her, an assured ease of movement; and certain little mannerism, like her trick of her hands, bespoke her training. She laughed. “You're, very observant, aren’t you?” “Perhaps. ’ They turned into the parking lot beside the restaurant and Rorimer, giving the attendant his ticket, asked her if she would like a little ride before dancing. “Then I hear your life story without the competition of George Olsen's band.” It was decidedly pleasant, he thought, with Anne Winter beside him in the car and Anne Winter’s low, vibrant voice in his ear. They swung east on Sunset boulevard. The cool breeze that had come with the evening sang against the windshield and rushed past them into the night. Dan pointed toward the sky. “Hollywood stars,” he said with a smile. She nodded thoughtfully, her mood changing. “They are far awpy, aren't they? . . . I’ve worked just one day since I’ve been here.” Rorimer might have told her that she could count herself fortunate for that. Instead, he said, “But you’ve been ill, and you’ve been here less than two weeks. You’ll get your chance.” “Do you really think so?” “Stage experience helps tremendously, now that the pictures talk.” But her practical stage experience, she informed him, had been limited to stock company engagements in Tulsa and Kansas City, “I’m not from Broadway.” “That isn’t necessary.’’ “I've begun to think it is quite important.” a a a “/ r 'vF course, a reputation means V-/ a great deal. But not quite all. I was talking with the casting director at Continental the other day,” he said warmly, “and he told me that stock company experience was just about the best preparation a girl could have for work in pictures. “And, believe me, Dick Charles knows—he was an extra himself a few years ago. He says that about the best advice he could offer a person looking for extra work and an eventual career in pictures is to work a year or two in stock and tht come out to Hollyw’ood with enough money to pay living expenses for a year or tw'o more. “They’ll tell you the same thing,” he added, “at Central Casting Bureau. Have you been there?” “I am registered there,” she told him. “Well, that’s something in your favor —they're not registering everybody that’s looking for extra work.” “They told me there that I should have enough money to last me, without work of any sort, for at least one year and preferably three.” Rorimer nodded. “I know. If you're just looking for a job, it sounds pretty tough; but if you’re looking for a career it's different. You sort of expect to have to make sacrifices, I suppose.” “You know something about that yourself, don't you?” Anne Winter said, smiling. * Rorimer looked puzzled. “Don't you remember the time you gave up eating lunch?” she asked. He chuckled. “Oh yes, I did lay something on the altar of art, didn't i?” . . . Gone far enough?” “Just as you say. I do feel like dancing, though.” Rorimer swung the car to the left at the next street. “All right, we'll go back to Hollywood boulevard. Meanwhile, how about the story of your life? The life and loves,” he added, "of Anne Winter.” Anne shook her head. “Life only,” she said positively, “and that's so uneventful I'll have finished before we reach the boulevard.” He deliberately slowed down. Anne Winter laughed joyously, r “Born in Tulsa,’ she said, mimicking the manner of his own recital, “raised in Tulsa, went to school in Tulsa. . .” There had been, she added, a course in a dramatic school. “And then the stock companies. ... I did w ell enough to raise my hopes, and to persuade my father against his better judgment to let me come to Hollywood to see if I was good enough for pictures.” a a a SHE went on to say. with a swift rush of enthusiasm, that her father was "perfectly adorable” and that she was crazy about him. 'Mother's a dear, too only father seems to understand me better. He's more tolerant of my whims and enthusiasms.” Rorimer nodded and made a left turn, reminding her as the car swung under brighter light that Hollywood boulevard had been reached and she had not yet finished. Well, it was about finished. Anne Winter said. About all that remained to be told was that she was on probation for one year. "At the end of that time my parents are coming out to see me. and if I'm making real progress, I'm to be allowed to stay. If not”—she made an expressive gesture with her hands, palms upturned—“l have to go home . . - That's fair, isn’t it?” It certainly was. Dan agreed, and he found it a pleasant thought that her stay in Hollywood was to be guaranteed for a minimum of a W . _ _

Her father, she informed him, was a lawyer. “He used to be a judge, but he went back to private practice some years ago.” “His decision,” Ro’imer said solemnly, “does him credit as a jurist. Solomon couldn’t have done better.” He said, “You're bound to go a long way with a father like that behind yon.” “You’re nice to say that.... Well, that's the end of my story.” Rorimer saiJ, smiling at her, “I'm sure it’s just the beginning." “You're sc. kind. I’m sure what you are really thinking is that I'm a movie-mad, rattle-brained girl and that I've no business out here What else did Ziggy Young say about me in his ietter?” a a a DAN, remembering that letter and the things he hud said to Paul Collier, laughed. “Ziggy's a rotten report ;r.” he said. “He told me you were freckle-faced and stubborn.” “Well, I can be stubborn—and I used to have freckles. That not bad, coming from Ziggy.” “He's not exactly what you'd call complimentary.” Rorimer admitted. “He said you were bull-headed.” “He did! Wait till I lay my eyes on him again.” “There’s danger in them eyes,” said Tom. “Do you know what Ziggy Young’s "first name is?” Anne Winter asked, ignoring his remark. “He never would admit that he had any besides Ziggy.” “Well, it’s Clement. Whenever he jnakes me mad I tell on him.” “You must be perfectly furious,” said Dan. “But he's a dear,” said Anne, “and it was awfully nice of him "to ask you to look me up.” “I thought of that a long time ago. He’s an onery red-headed runt, but he’s a swell guy. Do you know what I thought when I met you tonight?” She had no idea. “Well, f told myself I’d send Ziggy a couple of the swellest ties in Hollywood. I think I really ought to make- it half a dozen.” Anne Winter laughed. “I ought to bow,” she said, “but the seat doesn't permit it.” “That’s 'one bow you owe me then,” said Dan. “Here we are; all out. Stick close to me in the lobby or you’ll get run over by a song writer. Hollywood’s full of them. Encourage ’em and they’ll toddle right over and warble their latest hit in your ear.” In the Blossom room the lights were subdued and gay laughter floated above the steady murmur of many voices. The orchestra swung into action as they tyere being showm to their table, and Dan told her that it was in honor of her entrance. “They knew you were coming,” he said. "Do you like to have celebrities pointed out to you? It you do, there’s Charlie Chaplin over there. See the table with four men at it?” “But I thought Charlie Chaplin had gray hair?” “He did . . . The man opposite him is Irving Berlin. The other two are Joseph Schenck and Jesse Lasky. Pretty good for one table, isn’t it? ... Shall we dance? The music’s in my blood —‘Happy Days Are Here Again.’ . . . Happy days, Anne. . . . Gangway, folks, for Anne and Dan!” (To Be Continued)
