A String of Conquests.

Francis K. Bushman boasts fea-
eures that have sent the blood
sweeping fast through the veins of
countless thousands of girls that
have seen him on the screen.
Eugene O'Brien, Thomas Meighan,
q dozen others glory and profit in
the handsome features with which
they have been blessed.
And the glory and boast and
profit OF Wallace Berry is. he
frankly proclaims. in the fact that
his is face that even the camera
must Vince to confront.
The ordinary man might bemoan
Q face such as that in which Beery
finds content. But then, the ordi-
nary man cannot point, as can
Berry. to 2 string Of romantic con.
quests such as even Valentino and
O'Brien and Meighan and Bushnan
would find it difficult to excel.
And if a man of homely features
can attract the charming butterflies
Of Hollywood. than whom there are
no more beautiful women perhaps
in the world, what matters it to
him that when nature fashioned the
front of his head she threw his
nose and eyes and mouth and
wrinkles into a jurnbled mess and
called, it a face.
Today Wallace Berry is engaged
to Barbara La MARI
Now, If Miss La Mari had sought
beauty in man she would not have
had to seek far. For Hollywood
is as overrun with handsome men
az with pretty girls. But some
times beauty prefers to seek the
beast-and Berry in face. though
not in character. likens himself to
the beast.
Barbara La MARI is svelte. sup
pie, vampish. She is one Of the
successors to the screen mode Of
Theda Bara. Scores have sought
her hand. Hundreds have written
her fervid love notes Her secre.
tary is hard put to it to keep up
with the mail Of ardent. suitors
from all over the land, many Of
whom have sent their pictures, pic
lures that in many instances por.
tray handsome men.

100000 From Legislature

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU !
THE AGE-HERALD


Alabama's Legislature was urged to
make an Appropriation of $500, coo for
the construction of a state memorial
to the soldiers and sailors who gave
their lives in the World war by the
state memorial commission Wednes-
day afternoon. The commission re-
quested Governor Brandon, ex- officio
chairman, to name a committee of
five from the commission which will
submit the request to the legislature.
The motion requesting the appro-
priation was made by A. c. Davis of
Montgomery. 1t mentioned the fact
that state campaign was made four
years ago in an effort to obtain
voluntry contributions for the mem
orial but that several drives were
on at the time and the commission
was able to obtain only $50, 763 10,
With the funds derived from the con-
tributions the memorial commission
purchased site near the capitol on
which will be erected the memorial.
For the site the commission paid
S43,392.24. Authority was granted by
the commission Wednesday for the
expenditure of the remaining amount,
SIG, 374.92. or such of it as may be
necessary for the requirement of the
additional property.
Investigations of John H Chapman,
assistant examiner of the public ac
counts, showed that S6,550,9o con-
tributed by citizens for the mem
orial is held by local treasurers and
banks. The commission adopted a
resolution requesting the attorney
general to bring appropriate pro-
ceedings for the collection of this
amount.
Members of the commission urged
the Legislature to take action at It's
adjourned session in order that ade-
quate facilities may be provided for

Mr.. Patton stated. He sought to i'm
peach the testimony of June lnmon'
the taxi driver who identified Wilson,
by stating that the identification was
made after Inmon had heard of Will
sons confession
Mr.. Patton exhibited what, he said,
was a picture of a letter written by
third party and printed in an Ath-
ems paper which, he declared, Deputy
Solicitor Fred Wall had edited to
make it say things it did not say"
that the editor of the paper request
ed his stenographer to make cor
rections as to punctuation and capt.
tai letters, which was done, and that
he had the original copy OF the let
ter to be shown later Speaking of
the kilograms urging that Wilson's
sentence be not committed, signed
by a number of ex-service men, Mr..
Patton stated that he had written
letters to signers of the petition
asking if they were in court and
heard the testimony on which Will
son was convicted.
Would not this apply equally to
any other signer of petition?" At
torney General Davis asked. During
Mr.. Patton's presentation of the case
he was frequently questioned by the
attorney general, who called atten-
ton to the fact that the jury in the
case had passed on Inmon's testi
mony and had been satisfied with 1t
beyond a reasonable doubt under cir
cumstances which the pardon board
did not face.
In. addition to Mr.. Patton and Mr..
Rankin Nilsson was represented by
Roderick Beddow of Birmingham.
