OLD MARINERS READ GREAT ENGLISH BOOKS
Tastes Of Men On Ships Change
 With Times

BOSTON, April 21.-Making litera- ture play part in keeping up the morale of men who follow the sea is the work of the American Merchant Marine Library association, which is opening a campaign in Massachusetts to provide books for seamen on American vessels sailing from this port. The association has headquar- ters in Boston, New York and Cleve- land.
 Reading taste among the seamen changes with good or bad times, of fcials of the association say. When ships are demanding men, and crews change after every voyage. the call is for fiction by writers on adVentur- ous subjects. With a decline in ship ping the steadier men stick to their ships and more responsible crews are signed up. In such periods the de- mand is for substantial reading. Looms Story of Mankind" Mase- field and 1bsen are much read.
 There are requests for Keats, Nietzsche and Plutarch when. the book chest is being made up at the citation. Works on navigation and scientific subjects also are in de- mand. Older men and the officers are still devotees of Dickens, Scott and Hugo.
 The Boston office is under the di- rection of Mrs. Henry Howard Of Cleveland. called by the sailors the mother" of the marine libraries. In the last year, under her direction. l 19134 books and 7S49 magazines were loaned by the Boston office to crews on 266 ships. Roughly. the l hnA Joe 1AI ;,tA n1 | fiction, both best sellers" and stand ard authors: history. travel and bi- ography, and works on navigation and marine engineering.

LATE MOVIE GOSSIP FROM HOLLYWOOD

LOS ANGELES, April 21.-No press agent could possibly have stirred up the furore about Barbara La Marr which ragged here because of a care less and premature announcement made by Julius Bernheim, general manager of Universal City.
 Miss La Marr's stock has gone soaring and the attention of Holly wood has been focused upon her remarkable career. She has advanced in about fourteen months from a player in occasional demand at S10u a week to leading woman sought after by half a dozen producers at S2,000 a week.
 Bernheim carelessly announced that Universal had signed Miss La Marr for a contract covering term of years. She was to be starred in super-features. 1t was declared and would rank with Priscilla Dean, Lon Clancy and other headliners. The local newspapers accepted the sign ing as an accomplished fact but storm of protests and denials elicted from Bernheim the admission that he gave his O. K. to the announcement carelessly.
 The facts are that contracts had been prepared calling on Miss La Mar to make one picture for Universal after fulfilling her prior engage-
 
 a week and a clause was written in the contract giving an option for a second picture if both parties are willing.
 She Must Go To Italy.
 Meanwhile it develops Miss La Marr will have to complete her work in-"Captain Appieiack," which Freo Nihlo is directing for Louis 5. Mayor After that she has to fill contract with Samuel Goldwyn and George Fitzmaurice which calls for hel going to Italy, for she is to play the role of Donna Roma in the film yer sion of Hall Gaines 'The Eternal City," to be filmed In and around on this continuity. After the Gold wyn- Fitmaurice feature has beer completed Miss La Marr's manager Arthur S. Sawyer, will probably feature her In The Shooting of Dar McGrew," though the film version oi the Robert w. Service poem may be deferred until after the Universal pie ture has been made.
 Four-Cornered Contract.
 Sam E. Rork announces four cornered contract involving story star, production and director. The story is Cynthia Stockley's Soutf African novel, "Pon Jola;' the stal is Anna Q. Nilsson, now finishing the role of Cherry Malotte in "Tht Spoilers" The production will be made at the Goldwyn studio ano James Young will direct the film as soon as he finishes with "Trilby" foi Richard Walton Fully.
