shortly after her birth the girl was lost in the shuffle. She lived with her grandmother, whom she came to regard as her real mother. Edith, talented and ingenuous, broke into the movies as an extra, and’ finally won a long-term contract. Then a suit was filed by Mrs. Harriet Fellows, claiming Edith as her daughter, and asking custody on the ground that the grandmother, who had letters of guardianship, was not competent to raise the child properly. ~ But the disposition of the case may be guided by the fact that little Edith herself said in court that she had no love for her mother.

“Tridl Marriage” Involved

Whether a mother may keep her two children while she lives with a man to whom she is not married was the question in settling the custody of Teddy and Lori Von Eltz. Their father, Theodore Von Eltz, | matinee idol, was divorced by his | Wife, Peggy Prior, who won exclusive

care of the children. Then Von Eltz learned that his ex-wife was planning to marry Joseph Maoncue March, with whom, court records show, Peggy already was living in a “trial marriage.” This convinced Von Eltz that his children needed a change of environment. ,He started proceedings which resulted in an order that the children be placed in a neutral home, the parents having joint custody. Later, after Peggy formally married March, Von Eltz agreed to let the children remain permanently with their mother. For parents, too, separation from their children may be tragic. Lina Basquette, “dark-eyed stage and film heauly, took poison after brooding’ over failure to get custody of her daughter, whose father was the late Sam Warner, producer. Harry Warner, Sam's brother, had been appointed guardian of the child, and Lina believed persons in

the movie industry were trying to.

turn the child away from her. This, she said, led to the unsuccessful “suicide” attempt. Mary Hay and Richard Barthelmess continued the fight over their daughter even after both parents were remarried. The mother claimed Barthelmess was keeping the child more than his allotted six months each year. The dispute. was settled at a conference in which the late

Rev, S. Parkes Cadman was arbiter.

Chaplins Share Sons

Best known of the Hollywood children figuring in family differences are the two sons of Charlie Chaplin and Lita. Grey Chaplin. When Charlie and Lita were divorced in 1927 she was awarded custody of the boys. For some time they lived almost entirely with their mother, but Chaplin himself took an interest in them after his successful fight to keep them out of the movies. Now the boys divide their time between father and mother, apparently quite happy. They are

on friendliest terms with Paulette

AMAT Sols

Goddard, to whom Chaplin is said to be engaged or married. Less fortunate is Marylyn Thorpe, 4, daughter of Actress Mary Astor and Dr. Franklyn Thorpe, a movie colony physician, whose squabble over Marylyn’s custody dates back to the time of the divorce in April, 1935. At that time Miss Astor was forced to surrender the child to Thorpe. Her subsequent suit to gain custody of Marylyn then brought the bitter court diel in which father and mother sought to prove each other unfit to rear the child.

Child Ignorant of Plight Thorpe contended his ex-wife's

" “lavender diary,” in which she kept

the record of her private life and

‘her acquaintance with other men,

was evidence of her unfitness. An agreement giving Miss Astor parttime custody of the child prevented the diary being made public. “She doesn’t know what it's about,” said the judge in the case, after visiting little Marylyn to see

‘what she thought of her parents.

The judge might have been speaking of any one of the Kids caught up in the family debates which brew intermittently in Hollywood.

Writer's New Movie Score to Be Heard

Circle Books Show Using Accompaniment by Werner Janssen.

When “The General Died at Dawn” opens at the Circle Friday for a week, . local

motion picture score from the pen of Werner Janssen, American composer and conductor and part-time Indianapolis resident. Mr. Janssen likened his work on the picture to that of a newspaper feature writer who turns out his

story in the evening after a day spent gathering material. His score, which is 600 pages long, actually grew with each day’s shooting. It was shaped and colored by daily visits to the set. “For weeks I sat in at story con--ferences between the director, Lewis Milestone, and that talented young playwright, Clifford Odets,” said Mr. Janssen. “I watched the screen story grow. I felt around me the spirit of men in whose minds the picture was taking shape before a camera would turn.

Acting Watched Daily

“When camera work started, I was on the set every day. I watched Gary Cooper and Madeleine Carroll creating characters under the guidance of Mr. Milestone. I saw the by Akim Tamiroff, and Mr. Wu played by Dudley Digges. :

of these characters impressed itself on my mind. Moreover, I heard the voice of each actor, noted the special ring or shade of inflection. As a musician, I naturally watched with my ears, as a painter, for example, would have watched with his eyes.”

Impressions Reflected

The picture’s score, the composer explained, is a sort of tonal diary, since his mukical impressions were set down after each day's work. Each of ‘the principal roles has 4 corresponding musical theme whose color suggests the quality of the character. Mr. Janssen insists that his music will be heard as an integral part of the picture—not just an accompaniment tacked on as an afterthought. The character themes change with the characters’ adventures, and each mood, he said, Is reflected in the score.

Local Players Back on Stage

HE bride was late. Wedding gliests who crowded the flowerdecked church grew restive. The organist was plainly worried. She had played through the pre-nuptial program and was improvising, her

strument, watching for the longdue signal to swing into the Wedding March. Groups of vari-colored hats went into huddles, and the buzz of whispered conversation mingled with the rustle of dresses. “Maybe Mazie's changed her mind,” giggled a woman in a widebrimmed: leghorn hat. “It wouldn't be the first time,” cackled the owner of a leaf-brown toque. “Why, only a few months ago, she was engaged to that wild Gus Lange.” “Her parents quashed that,” contributed a girl in a taupe tricorne. “They say she can’t get rid of him,” hissed the woman in Dubonnet red. “He tags here everywhere she goes. I wonder—he was hanging ’round the church door when I came in—" NN 2 H, they're here at last!” another woman broke in. “There’s Mrs. Haviland.” All eyes turned to the center aisle as the head usher escorted the bride’s mother to a front pew. In the vestibule, the bride's father pulled down his vest, adjusted his boutonniere, and turned into the vestry room, where bride and attendants had retired to shake. out ruffles and fluff up ribbons. He found the bridesmaids but no bride. “Where's Mazie?” “She ran into the pastor's study and shut the door. She won't let us in,” chorused the girls.
