JULY 31, 1931.

NEW FACES IN TALKIES SPUR FANS' INTEREST Many Stage Players Take Their Positions in Movie Spotlight. by DAN THOMAS NF.A Service Writer HOLLYWOOD, July 31—An era of new faces is descending upon Hollywood. Faster than ever before, newcomers are pepping up in our gigantic film factories. Even the old days when A1 Jolson came out with ‘The Jazz Singer” and frantic movie executives were combing the nation for stage talent have nothing on 1931 as far as new faces are concerned. Prospective film stars arrived in Hollywood in droves then. And they are arriving in larger droves now. In fact, the newcomers outnumber by six or seven to one those who are quietly fading from the public view.

Many Leave Stage Os course, many of the newcomers have been lured from the legitimate stage—only a very few who have not had stage training get inside the studio gates now. Economy is the reason given by the men who sit behind mahogany desks for the importation of so many potential celebrities. For example, Mary Brian recently was released from hor contract by Paramount. And for the salary Mary was getting this same studio has engaged four or five girls, unknown to the movie world, but with stage experience. But Mary is not out of pictures. Far from that. Scarcely had Hollywood received the announcement that she was through at Paramount than she was signed to costar with Lew Ayers at Universal. Still Is Drawing Card Mary’s name still has a definite box office draw and she will remain in pictures as long as the public shows a willingness to pay good money to see her. In fact, she probably will work on the Paramount lot again. But studio executives feel that they can save money by paying her only when she works, rather than paying her a salary the year around. Recently the headlines told us that “Clara Bow Quits Movies.” However, that statement is a bit misleading. True, Paramount has released the flaming-haired star from her contract. But she is far from through in pictures. As soon as she recovers her health, Clara will come back to work. Others Lose Contracts June Collyer, Jean Arthur, Fifi Dorsay. and June Mac Cloy also have been released from contracts during the last few months—stepping aside to make way for newcomers. But each of them still is decidedly in the swim as far as the industry as a whole is concerned. June Collyear has been busier than she ever was while under contract. Miss Mac Cloy immediately was snapped up by another studio, and now is being starred in a series of comedies. Jean Arthur has been working quite steadily. And the vivacious Fifi has been deluged with offers, both screen and stage. As these players have moved on who have taken their places? Beginning tomorrow I will tell you something about, ten of the most prominent of these new stars. INCREASE RUBIO POWER Mexican President Made Virtual Finance Dictator. By Unit'd Press MEXICO CITY, July 31.—Extraordinary powers in financial matters were voted President Pascual Ortiz Rubio Thursday night by congress, making him vitrually a financial dictator. The President had asked to be permitted to assess further taxes on 1930 incomes and to increase taxes on concerns, mostly foreign owned, producing electricity, cotton and woolen goods, and tobacco products.

Nerves Bad After Baby Came

"TkyfY nerves were so bad I just IVJL had to do something. I am taking Lydia E. Pinkham's medicine again and am going to take it till I get good and strong. "I sure recommend it to all of my friends and relations.” This hopeful letter came to us from Mrs. James H. Davis, Jr., of 913V2 East Indianola Avenue, Youngstown, Ohio. 98 out of a 100 women report benefit. If you are sick and want to be well—why don't you try taking this medicine for a few weeks?

Stair Steps of Beauty

Pulchritude is just an old family custom with these Tulsa (Okla.) beauties. Mrs. Thomas Gilcrease, center, who was selected “Miss America” in 1924, came naturally by her beauty, as you can see by the picture of her mother, Mrs. M. A. Dickerson, left. And the former “Miss America’s” charming young daughter, Des Cyne Gilcrease, right, bids fair to surpass them both. The picture was taken as Mrs. Gilcrease left for Paris to meet her millionaire oilman-husband.
