JOAN MUST BE MORE CAREFUL OF STORIES ‘This Modern Age’ Smacks Too Much of Other Vehicles to Possess Much Novelty or Dramatic Interest. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN IT is high time that Joan Crawford devote a little more time and consideration to her movie stdries. That was my thought after seeing Joan's latest, “This Modem Age.” Even the title reminds me of other stories about the mad rush of females for pleasure. , Miss Crawford is not another Norma Shearer in acting ability. At times I think that Miss Crawford is possessed of more beauty than acting ability. On the other hand, Miss Shearer seems to grow in acting ability with each picture. Both have been fortunate i? several respects, mainly that both have been given competent directors and elaborate sets

as well as marvelous camera men and competent surrounding players. This is especially true this time for Miss Crawford in “This Modern Age.” I had the feeling at times that Pauline Frederick as Joan’s mother was walking away with the acting honors in a most unsympathetic role. The story is rather thin in plot. Joan joins her mother in Paris

after being separated for years from her mother. Mother is a bad woman, being the mistress of an impossible looking rich old man. Daughter does not know where her mama’s income is coming from and when Joan’s sweetheart tells here what a rouer her mother is, Joan rebels and defends her

mother and gives the boy friend the gate. But mother just won’t stay hitched to the straight and narrow and life in a small flat cfoes not hit the spot. So when mother returns to her rich companion, daughter starts on a bender all of her. Os course Joan’s sweetie returns just in time to pull the caveman stuff. Happy ending? Yes. And mother promises to trod the straight and narrow. The story has been treated and acted much better than it deserves. Be your own judge of this one as usual. I have my own idea. Now at the Palace.

THIS STORY IS UGLY AT TIMES My verdict of “Secrets of a Secretary” is that the story is too much of a melodramatic muddle to deliver much of a punch. The title throws no light on the subject matter, as the secrets of

the secretary are not exposed. The secretary is a social secretary to a very rich and foolish old woman and the old woman’s daughter Is more of a fool than anything else. The story gets ugly at times when a cheap dancing gigolo starts wholesale blackmail of the rich w o m a n’s daughter. Helen, the secretary (played

* ! * • 1 i j

by Miss Colbert) has already married this worthless man following a wild party. She goes to the aid of the blackmailing victim and is too late; he has been murdered. Suspicion falls on both girls. Mary Boland better known on the stage than on the screen is splendid as the rich but foolish society woman, who insists that her daughter marry a titled man she does not love. The fact is, Miss Boland walks away from all members of the cast. You will discover anew face, that of George Metaxa. He is the gigolo. I think he is far from being a find. He did not impress me that he knew much about acting. Herbert Marshall who plays the role of the Englishman seems to be very human and intelligent in everything he does. This story is too wild and even ugly at times to get me excited over it. Now at the Indiana. u tt st LETTING A READER TELL OF THIS ONE Have often w-ondered what a reader of this department would write of Fu Manchu and the many murders that generally surround him. , And so I allowed a reader of this department to tell me of the latest Fu Manchu mystery. I wanted to find out if I was telling too much of these mysteries and

the reader certainly told me more of the plot than I generally would reveal. The reader in this case is the same one who got me interested in the stories of Sax Rohmer. The one telling me about this return of Dr. Fu was not certain whether Fu was actually killed once and for all or whether

the director could bring Fu back to life on the talking screen if the public so demanded. But the idea back of the story is that Fu was killed and his daughter sworn to revenge his death. Then follows the

Os course, Oland is Dr. Fu, and chief in his support are Sessue Hayakawa and the pretty Anna May Wong. The reader tells me that their conversation and dialect sounded very American.

COUNTY GETTING $20,000 A WEEK IN BACK TAXES Half Million Likely Figure on Delinquency for This Year. Spurred by the passing of the tax wagon through city streets, collection of delinquent taxes is bringing $20,000 a week into the county treasurer, it was revealed today by C. O. Harris, chief deputy treasurer. More than $60,000 of approximately $1,000,000 taxes delinquent has been collected since the tax wagon was sent forth three weeks ago by John D. Henderson, deputy treasurer in charge of collections. A total of $9?6,000 taxes went delinquent this year, plus $153,000 unpaid last year. County officials say the council meeting this week must provide more than SIOO,OOO to meet a deficit on operating expenses of the county government. Minus penalties, the county gets one-third of delinquent collections, the other two-thirds going to the city and state. “We are doing well with our collections,” Hendenpon said, “but considering the largi amount of money outstanding, collections are poor this year.” Henderson estimates that the county will fail to collect about $500,000 of its taxes this year. Clyde E. Robinson is considering putting another tax wagon on the

Penalties on delinquent taxes include a 10 per cent penalty, $1.50 demand fee, plus mileage cost at the rate of 10 cents a mile. HOOVER’S AID RESIGNS Stenographer Will Take Language Post at Cornell. By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—President Hoover's stenographer has resigned to become a professor of romance languages at Cornell university, it was learned at the White House today. Jose Espinosa, the young Spanish stenographer, has been regarded highly by Hoover. When the President went to Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands last February, Espinosa was taken along as the only stenographer and interpreter. Pending his departure for Ithaca, N.

FIREBUGS ARE CAUSE OF 3,600 FOREST BLAZES Damage Toll This Year Is Biggest in History, Survey Shows. Bit Science Service WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. The fact that a number of the recent destructive forest fires in western states are definitely known to have been started by pyromaniacs—fiends who deliberately set fire to timber —has made significant, figures from the United States forest service here which show that 1,300 of the 8,400 conflagrations in national forests last year were of incendiary origin. Up to the latter part of last month, more than half of the total number of this year’s fires in these forests, 3,600 out of 6,322, w r ere due to man’s action, whether careless or on purpose. Lightning is held responsible for the remainder of the number. The present season is turning out to be one of the worst fire years in the history of the forest service. A total area of 385,168 acres has been burned over In the national forests since Jan. 1, the latest summary shows. Three hundred thousand of these acres are in western states, and, of them, Idaho is at present suffering the greatest losses. The severity of conditions this past summer is brought out in a comparison with 1930, only 137,000

acres being burned for the whole year. So far this year, Henry Wold of the United States folrest service told Science Service, more money has been spent in national forests for fire control—s2,loo,ooo up to Aug. 20 —than was spent all last year, and the situation is worse than in 1929, which was considered an extremely bad fire season. Reports of the field indicate, Wold stated, that the present fires are harder to suppress than those in 1910, the worst year on record for acres burned and lives lost. The fire-fighting organization is better now, however, than at that date. Raid Victims Free on Bond By United Press LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept. 7.
