lON STROHEIM. SPENDING KING. BUCK IN FILMS Universal Decides to Take Another Chance on Champion Expensive Director. Bu United Prett HOLLYWOOD. Sept. s.—Just as all the screen colony sharp-shooters had decided Eric von Stroheim never would direct another picture in Hollywood, Universal has announced signing him for that purpose. The actor-director will make a talking version of “Blind Husbands,” the first story he directed here and the one that put him on the path to screen fame. He made the silent picture for Universal and in directing it gave studio executives gray hair as he ran production costs to a sum estimated at a million and a half. Von Stroheim’s history after he made “Blind Husbands” is well known and his habit of spending so much time and money on pic-

tures was the thing that made the producers shy from him and the sharpshooters to herald the end of his days as a director. His “Merry Widow," “The Merry-Go-Round” and a half dozen others were tremendously expensive productions, and producers were warranted in continuing with Von Stroheim only because the pictures were tremendously popular at the box office. It seemed that his days as a director were over when Paramount’s “The Wedding March” proved not too popular after thousands and thousands of dollars had been put into it. It appeared even more cectain when Gloria Swanson was forced to place her “Queen Kelly” on the shelf after Von Stroheim worked on it for several months. In view of the earlier success's he made with the Universal that studio apparently has decided to overlook his two financial failures for other companies.

HOOVER‘GOOD PARTY MAN’ IN AWARDING JOBS Hand-Picking of ‘Key’ Men in Departments Set Precedence. Bu United Brest NEW YORK, Sept. s.—Since President Hoover took up residence in the White House, he has made four times as many federal appointments as Coolidge made in his entire first term. A comparison of their methods of dealing with federal patronage made by Fred R. Kent for Collier’s shows how definitely Hoover has broken with party tradition in selecting men to fill key positions. “In the matter of appointments

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Coolidge was the routine Republican President,” says Kent. “The pressure upon him was not very great. He came into the White House through an act of God, made as few changes as possible, rode inertly upon the flood-tide of an un-dreamed-of prosperity and was protected from criticism by conditions. “Hoover found himself at the head of a party government with 330.000 employes, in which distribution of patronage was perhaps the heaviest of the presidential burdens. “Far from ignoring the party leaders in this matter, he has been punctilious in consulting them about the ordinary run of local appointments. “And so far as these places are concerned, the politicians have been as well treated by Hoover as by any Republican president. The organization has been recognized and senatorial recommendations accepted. In this respect Hoover is a party president and a strong one. “Where he has stepped aside from the recognized procedure is in his selection of men to fill key positions. “These men are not the members of his cabinet—they an the assist-

ant secretaries of departments, not the secretaries; the deputies, not the chiefs; the chairmen of the big independent administrative boards and commissions. Hoover determined to fill these positions with personally picked men, and he has done so.” Going through the list of these nonpolitical appointments, Kent concludes that notwithstanding the methods which Hoover has used in selecting this so-called “baby cabinet” and the big men for vital agencies such as the farm board and the tariff commission, he has in the matter of appointments offended “not more than the usual A umber of senators,” and in fact
