Suicides Dance of
Death Stuns Guests

Kalamazoo, Mich.-While the
poison she had swallowed slow
" drove life from her body, Mrs.
Neva Fraser, eighteen, bride
of a few weeks, performed q
veritable dance Of death in the
midst of a party Of guests.
Excusing herself, she had
gone to her room and taken
few grains Of strychnine. She
returned a moment later,
walked over to the monograph
and started playing It'll We
Meet Again" explaining 1t
was the piece played at the
dance at which she met her hus-
band.
Her friends were ignorant Of
the tragedy taking place when
she began dancing, but before
the last strains died away they
saw her fall in a crumpled heap.
Death sealed her lips before she
could explain her motive.

 "But sure got ideas of my own on how these barns are Soin' to be built. You can make yourself right famous as far as I'm concerned if you'll look and listen a lot.
 Well, then we was visited by ano- ther species that interested me heap. It was called a landscape artist. He was goin' to fix my front yard up for me right swell, so the neighbors in Beverly Hills would be pleased with it

 He had regular photograph record he turned on me bout group ings' and 'spacings' and things of that caHbre, so I finally thought I'd see how he generally earned that salary ne mentioned so casual There are times when I am not so incensed against the Income Tax as others

rounded by so many sincere heather 'roughnecks' is a good thing for the picture. Maybe, if my real charac- ter didn't shine through all of the perlls occasionally. the fascinated audience would have to be loaded onto a ship and brought back from China at the close of the last epi- sode. You see l can't quite shake off that larking actress character yet; hence these frivolous remarks.
 But these remarks apply only to my own part in the performance All the other members of the case are most serious and effective in their characterizations. They magnificent ly sustain the illusion of dread, ter TOT of the unknown, and the ire sisIble suspense that is ever present and of the greatest value through out the whole course of the picture.
 'I enjoyed every moment of my work in The Yellow Arm It gave me many opportunities to scratch repuIsive yellow faces, keep WarnsS Oland from frightening the audience to death with his wonderful feeling for the mysterious tragic moments besides seeing that William Bailey was kept at his top notch of pugilis- tic practice!''

The House That Jokes Built

Will Rogers, former Follies star, is building a house near his motion pie ture studio in Hollywood, Cahf- And he's having the time of his life, for right out in the front yard he has a tanbark riding ring and every Sun day morning Will and his rough rid ing pals get together and hold serv- ices. His description of the build ing of that house in Photoplay Maga- zine, which is accompanied by photo graphs, is funnier than anything he ever got off during his long career on the stage.
 "Speakin' about that house of mine, 1t was this-a way,' says MT Rogers First off, twas nothing but bunga- low settin' on a hill. Not meanin' much one way or 'tother. But by the time my wife got through re writin' that thing, it was an eight reel feature production
 What I told her was, the house oughta been made of rubber in the first place; The way she went round there, pushin' out this wall and then pushing out another wall, til some nights I'd just as leave slept in good corral, was something scanda- lous to behold.

 got a swell lot of laughs out of it.
 First of all. Mrs. Rogers 'ud take and push coupIa walls out of the way, just like a kid playin' with blocks. Then when she'd get it down all right, she gets one of these plush architects, and he looks it over and says, That's very nice indeed, Mrs. Rogers, but the trouble is when yeu did that you uncinched the girt hot -fl nd 1'Hra got to move that staircase or it won't be no more good to you than the White SoX Ball Club Or he'd say, It was a wonderful idea to put that wall in, Mrs. Rogers, but I reckon now you'n have to move the first line trenches out about fifteen or twenty feet

shivery scenes in The Yellow Arm that maybe MT Gland forgot that he was acting and was determined to sell his life as dearly as possible. It made me shiver to watch him. Then my frivolous turn would come to breeze into the Scene-and maybe I was useful in keeping the rest of the case from going 'dippy' over too big doses of the yellow peril.'
 "Of course I get mixed up in most of the loW-lived attempts of the Chinese conspirators to drown the whole bunch of us in dark cellars, or throw us off the roof, or poison us, or chop us all up frightfuIly; and for the moment I'm properly scared out of my wits and put up some pret- ty good fights. But as for any su- persdtious dread of the unfamiliar that sore of terror never touches me When a bad-lool<ing corner has been turned, and nobody badly hurt, I re sume my own personal little con- spiracies to keep William Bailey us ing both fists on heather faces just to prove that he-in his character, of course-loves me as devoted1y as he keeps telling me he does.
 Come to think of it, I don't know but that my frivolous star part sur

Probably never was a favorite star in motion pictures fitted with a role more peculiarly original, as a star part, than that played by Juanita Hansen in the Pathe serial called .sFhe Yellow Arm,' which she has just finished. She fully appreciates the fact and here is what she says about it:
 '"This is a case,'' said Miss Han sen, where the star is not the actual conventional heroine of the picture Really, the conventional heroine, played by Marguerite Courtot, is the much persecuted American girl who turns out to be, on her mothers side, Q Chinese princess and the storm cen tre of a revolution in that darxly ligi1t-Ininded actress seeking excite ing adventure-and getting it in large packages. In fact, I pitchforlz my self into the action without asking through all the terrors and hair breadth escapes for the sake of a merry lark, interrupted by occasional creepy 1nterludes played fon the G. string.'
 You see, in the picture I'm the sort of practical-minded American girl who refuses to be touched in her imagination by any of the foreign, fatanst1c conspiracy stuff that ob- sesses all the other characters This makes me rather an ideal foil for Warner Oland, in his character. who has the inside facts from the start. and realizes that he is up against the very worst sort of heather devil try that ever happened in real life, in books, on the stage or in the InoVleS- He IS a wonderful actor, Warner Oland is. But he has travel led in China and can speak the Ian guaSe- So it occurred to me some tunes While we were filming the
