Aug. 2—Marie Dre: enjoyed the companionship and ret;aided a wise the counsel of her closest friend, Nella Webb of New York Os a brood tolerance, Miss Dress* ler accepted the advice of Miss Webb without indicating whether or not she believed in Miss Webb's astrology, of which she wa one of Manhattan's most noted exponents. At lea t the astrologer di played an uncanny ability to determine what iav before the ugly duckling." It wa > at the low point of Miss Dressier's fortunes, when she contemplated opening a hotel in Paris, that Miss Webb swung her influence against the project, but for different reasons than other of the actress’ friends. Most .-wild that Marie Dressier was too kind-hearted and would be preyd upon till bankruptcy, should she open her hostelry. foresaw “7 fat Years" Mis. Webb aid nothing of the kind. She counseled against it be- - he foresaw for her friend ‘seven fat year should she continue in her profession. Whether or not she envisioned Mane Dressier as the top-notch comedienne of the talking screen, which even itself was then but a squawking forerunner of its glories, was not made known. That was in 1925. Miss Webb aided in dissuading Marie Dressier from her proposed hotel proprietorship with what seemed an extremely visionary prophecy. The “seven fat years" were to be- - Jan. 17, 1927 a specific date some two years hence. On Jan. 17. 1927, Miss Dressier accepted an offer winch began her meteoric career. She passed her “seven fat < and they were very fat indeed* years,” and at their close, she was dying. They were ended, according to Miss Webbs forecast. That fateful Jan. 17, Allan Dwan, a director, telephoned Marie Dressier to offer her a role in a picture lie was about to make. Perhaps she remembered her friend's exact date in the forecast—at any rate, despite her fear that producers who knew her would fear her superannuated, she took the job. Krlipsed Greta Garbo In itself it did not bring her fame, but news of it reached the ears of her friend, Frances Marion, leading Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer scenario writer, who had met Marie Dressier as a cut) reporter fifteen years previously. Tlie writer persuaded Irving Tlialberg to employ Miss Dressier. Clarence Brown, director, remembered that Lon Chaney once had called her the most brilliant character actress in the country. He cast her for the role of Old Marthy in 'Anna Christie,” and she became a celebrity for the second time. She expanded the role of thp old harridan to such an extent and so expertly that she - stole" the picture from Greta Garbo, and was catapulted into fame, entrenched in the hearts of a vast audience, and a $4,000 weekly pay check.

DILLINGER'S HAT NOW IN FEDERAL 'CRIME MORGUE' Gun and Girl's Picture Also Are on View in Washington. By T'niird Press WASHINGTON. Aug. 2—John Dillinger's bloodstained straw hat. his gun, and the girl's picture he had in his watch when shot down, are now part of the grewsome “crime morgue” at the justice department. The Dillinger relics first were placed in a glass case in the anteroom of the office of J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the bureau of investigation. So many employes took time off to inspect the new display that Mr. Hoover moved it to his inner office. The justice department has thousands of criminal souvenirs in the attic of its overcrowded quarters. When it moves to the new building on Constitution avenue, all will be dusted off and displayed appropriately in one large room. Dillinger’s use of a “dummy” gun to escape from an Indiana jail has resulted in no end of trouble for various prison officials. One convict in a federal prison was found recently with an imitation Colt automatic, fashioned out of iron piping. It even had regulation sights on it. He had been working in the machine shop of the penitentiary. Bolt Destroys Church By United Press SHELBYVILLE, Ind., Aug. 2.
