“ hes is tor trom a ary thing. The great historians have made i it live. The Beards, for instance, have been able to put pulsing -drams into simple black and white pages. +" Hollywood, with the most amazing vehicle of all, hasn't seemed able 4 “to get the range. Ordinary people like you and me often have won-

,- ynadorn v dt anyone ri to provide : "the one proper answer he'd be inviting a debate that could last for‘ever. . + .For ‘one thing, Hollywood has been growing up.- ‘After all, ‘it is _ Still in the swaddling stage inso- . far as the life of such industries go. Then there has-been,-so:aptly described by Hilaire Belloc, the ‘movies’ attitude of “If you can’t : make it real, make it interesting. of * 2 = : UT a new picture opened today j at the Circle, “Stanley and Ri. ” which makes me: wonder if the answer isn’t some- _ thing else entirely. “Looking at and enjoying “Stan-

ley and Livingstone” you ask:

‘Why haven't there been more such straight-forward accounts of history and historic figures by the : movies? + “Stanley and Livingstone” had a great story to tell. This movie tells it. As Director Henry King said: : ‘“There was never any need for making new dramatic incidents. All the drama necessary for five niovies wasn Mr. Stanley's diary.” The answer, “then, may be re- - search. ‘Movies like “Juarez” and most of the other Muni films represent a lot of work and: money. The studio has spent heavily on research; first by taking the work of an. original novelist; then. by a trained staff. The results are well known. iia Robert Sherwood, author - ‘of * “Abraham Lincoin in Illinois,” spent .years’ studying : the Civil War President’s ‘background. :His introduction and ‘his ' foot-notes would look natural in ‘a ‘ doctor’s thesis. 1 Just follow the thought through. . It. conjures up pictures of a future , in: which history will walk across the screens of classrooms—and not in the pages of musty books.

'BEERY WITH ROCKS “PUTS BEAR ON RUN

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 11 (U. P.).— Wallace Beery was back from a . Wyoming vacation today and his brother told how the actor rescued -a- tourist from a large and angry brown bear with a barrage of wellaimed rocks. The rescue occurred near Thermopolis, Wyo. The tourist tossed a pail of water at the bear, and the bear knocked the tourist down. The screams and .growls brought Mr. Beery from his nearby cabin and -he ‘attacked the bear with a barrage of rocks. According to his brother William, he landed a rock on the bear's nose, and the bruin © turned tail.

Gary Finds hy ost Herd’

Cotor Discovers Skeletons of Camel Mail Carriers,

HOLLYWOOD, Aug, 11 (U. P).— Gary Cooper. learned today he had helped to solve one of the historic questions of ' the .Southwest—what happened to a herd of camels which once carried mail over the Great American Desert. Back in 1856, when ;pioneers were dying in the desert crossing, the Government spent, $30,000 to buy a herd of camels and hire Bedouins to ride them." They carried mail across

'|the deserts” of ‘Arizona, California,

Nevada and New Mexico four years, but were. turned loose when the Civil War broke out. A few years later an enterprising Arizona’ citizen staged a camel roundup and sold some of the:camels to circuses. Since then, the authentic evidence regarding the camels had been meager—until Mr. Cooper went on" a hunting: trip. He was resting up for a few hours from working on the desert location of the, picture “Beau Geste” near Yuma, Ariz, when he stumbled on two skeletons With a companion he dug them up and packed them to Yuma. ‘The skeletoris, now assembled, proved -to be those of a camel and her .young offspring, apparently two of the lost herd. They were presented to the Arizona Museum,

LIFE IS A SERIES OF FLOPS FOR HIM

NEW YORK. Aug 1 Aug. 11 (U. P). _ One motion picture exhibitor who has no-use for Hollywood is Hussein Yateem, of Bahrein, the British protectorate on the Persian Gulf, who arrived today on the Hiner Washington. His customers, ‘he said, ‘hoot at American pictures, and when he ran Charles Chaplin’s “Modern Times” they. agreed the comedian was “a crazy infidel who didn’t know how to talk.” He said he uses: Egyptian pictures. “It is difficult,” he sighed. “When I run the Indian pictures the Arabs stay away and when I play the pictures from Egypt the - Indians will not come.” ©

last crooner, fan dancer, headliner in the United States. Right now :the most interesting action 1s going on behind the scenes. The labor battle is many sided. In Atlantic City today—the Executive Council of the A. F. of L. makes an heroic decision on a union quarrel between actors and stagehands. It will require all: the councilmen’s courage because, if the verdict goes: against the actors, a couple million dollars’ worth of artistic temperament will ‘explode in unison; every studio light in Hollywood may go out; curtains may ring down on every legitimate show in the country. And if the decision: is against the stagehands, the same. things may happen anyway. Verdict Due Today

Some time after noon the verdict is-due. ‘A three-man committee, assigned to “conciliate the differences,” meets at 9 a. m., drafts: its report, and .presents. it lo the full

supreme ruling is expected ~ soon thereafter. The quarrel is between the Associated Actors and Artists of America, the parent union for all cireus, opera, movie, radio, night: club and vaudeville performers, and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, parent union of props, make-up artists, cameramen, electricians and others who 'preen the actors, design and shift their scenery, manipulate the lights and cameras and perform other technical duties. The A. A. A. A. kicked out one of its subsidiary unions, the American Federation of Actors, composed mostly of night club and vaudeville perfogmers, ‘because of the waywardness.of some of its officers, and the I. A. T. S. E. adopted and chartered it. The A.A. A A. demands that the I.A.T.S.E. turn the A. F. A. out again and says that if it doesn’t, it will be proof that the I.A.T.S.E. is trying to recruit and dominate the acting side of jhe business.

WHY BE A “HORSE TRADER”?

You don’t have to “dicker” to “deal” with your Ford Dealer. Nor do you have to be a used car’ expert to tell the age, condition and value of his used cars.

Its a well-known fact that Ford Dealers’ used cars, no matter what make

or model, run as good as they look! Thorou

gh reconditioning sees to that.

And your Ford Dealer has nothing up his eleeve — he holds nothing back. If you want to know the history of one of his cars — who owned it, what it was used for, the treatment it had your Ford Dealer wil ody, tell you, Eh wants you to be able to buy with your “eyes wide open.”

‘Ford Dealers’ used car stocks have never been better — every car is conditioned to give you many, many miles of reliable, carefree service. And

your Ford Dealer’s own personal reputation for a square deal and superb service is behind every used car he sells. Stop in and try out some of his :

ta used cars, today.

but they are split - three ways aboiit how to’ oppose it. Some ‘want to fight ‘it - out ‘within: the ‘lines’ now drawn; others argue for leaving the A. F. of L. and becoming independent, yand- the left-wingers,” who are numerous and prominent, want to move into the C. I. O. camp. With so many alternatives there is little likelihood of an actors’ strike. The movie players really don’t care about the fate of vaudeville, night club and circus entertainers. The Hollywoodsmen merely are alarmed . because when George Browne, ‘head of the Stagehands’

Union, issued a new charter to Miss

Tucker’s group he also served notice

that the I. A. T. S. E. intended to extend control over everyone in all the entertainment fields. If Mr. Browne means business he | can call out the essential I. A. T. S. E.- technicians and close every theater and studio in which unfriendly actors are working.

But Hollywood thinks Browne is

bluffing. Observers suggest that he expects only to tighten his grip on the large and lucrative technical side of the film industry. It is predicted that if he gets what he wants,

Isa: Miranda's

Times Social HOLLYWOOD, Alig. 1 — Isa Miranda, blonde Continental actress, was “discovered” today by Cameraman Charles Lang. - Miss Miranda has been dogged by the misfortune. of looking like a composite of Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo. Studio executives have great respect -for- both Misses Dietrich and Garbo. But they recognize the danger of owning ‘a reproduction and have been searching for an original slant to Miss Miranda. Mr. Lang was asked to discover how to photograph Miss Miranda so that she would not look like Garbo or Dietrich. He announced today he had re-

shortened the Garbo lashes. He had added and taken away curves. He had added height. He did all this “with his lighting and his camera. Now he isn’t sure he even has Isa Miranda.
