Beauty Alone
Won't Bring
Film Success

Lack OF imagination Is responsible
for most failures in the studio, &c
cording TO June Mathis. who is
producing "The viennese Medley"
Acting" declares the noted pro-
ducer.scenarist. requires as much
imagination as writing. directing,
painting any other creative work.
Most persons--and mean just
that--who seek fame and fortune by
way OF the films, believe that all that
is required is pretty face and the
figure OF clothes horse. or hand.
some face and the physique OF
Adonis.
THE fault have TO find with the
majority or screen players with
whom have come In contact during
my experience Is that they leave the
creation of their roles 60 their di.
rector.
This applies TO those on the stage
as we'll as those who dart about the
gray shadows of the silver screen.
In addition. they lack, | find, quail
tiles which can only be found in
those who have keen observation.
MY advice TO embryonic screen
players Is. simply this: First, read
good literature; study the masters of
rhetoric - this will exercise your
imagination.
second, develop your power OF
observation; watch people and study
human nature. Question the reasons
for actions and motives OF activities
OF individuals.
"This accomplished, combine oh.
servation with imagination, add n
daeh OF personality, mix thoroly with
ambition and stlck.to.itivcness, and
YOU have the formula OF success"

Chinese Question Value of Shanghai
Riots Probe

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
PEkING, China, July 22.-The stu
alton in the negotiations over the
Shanghai shooting incident has been
reversed. The Chinese now declare
that they wish to proceed Immediately
with the conversations, with the rep
resentatives o. the foreign powers
asking for delay while awaiting fur
ther instructions following the recent
London conferences.
The best Chinese official opinion is
that the proposed Shanghai judicial in
pointed out that it will be difficult to
get an acceptable commission, and
that there is no machinery for carry
that the proposal for a judicial inquiry
only delays a settlement which might
be reached more quickly through diplo-
matte channels, thereby relieving the
present tension and preparing the way
for taking up the fundamental grieV-
ances of the Chinese, including those
regarding administration. interna-
tional concessions and treaty revision.
Meanwhile radical Chinese agitators
are losing ground. although some OF
them still clamor for war with Great
Britain. Gen. Chang Tso-Lin's sudden
return to Mukden from Tien-Tsin Is
not regarded as significant politically.

STRIKE THREAT REPUDIATED.
Soft Coal Man Without Authority
Hard Coal Men Declare.

ATLANTIC CITY. n. j.. July % up.
The anthracite operators reported
today that at the conference with
miners representatives here this
morning they were assured that no
strike in the hard coal field was mea mt
in the telegram sent yesterday by
Van A. Bittner, leader of the soft
coal miners, to Secretary of Commerce
Hoover and Secretary of Labor Davis
Mr.. Bittner's telegram had declared
that unless there was some settlement
of the wage controversy in northern
West Virginia, general coal strike
might result
The reputation of the general
strike hint developed at the meeting
here between representatives of the
anthracite operators and spokesman
for the hard coal miners. The opera
tors again sought to secure from the
union men promise that work would
continue in the mines after September
l, even though a wage and working
conditions agreement had not been
perfected by that time.
The miners again refused to commit
themselves on that point. but made
the statement that the Bittner teIe-
gram did not represent them since
they are determined in this conference
to keep divorced the hard coal and the
soft coal problem.

BELOVED. COTTAGE
Spent Two Happy Summers,
Years Ago, in Modest House
at Pemberton.
BY j. RUSSELL YOUNG.
STAFF CORE of The Star.

SUMMER WHITE HOUSE, SWAMP.
SCOTT, July 22.-There is a decided
touch of sentiment and just a wee bit
of politics to the trip President Cool
idge is to take this afternoon TO Penn
berton. Mass.
Pemberton is one Of the many at
tractive shore resorts near Boston, sit
uated on a peninsula extending out
from Boston Bay. and 1t was there
that the Coolidges spent two Summers
in a modest little cottage near the
water, ySi8en MIR. Coo tidSe was Lieuten-
ant Governor of Massachusetts. They
had good times there. Both the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Coolidge cherish the
fondest of recollections of those DAYS.
They both gave evidence of this two
weeks ago. when they passed within
sight of that cottage while on their
cruise from Marblehead to Fort An
drews. in Boston Bay. Their little fam
lily was intact then. The head of the
household had not yet been loaded down
with the heavy burdens of the Nation s
affairs They both looked longingly
at the little house and the familiar
beach as the Mayfiower steamed by on
that occasion. Although the President
said very little at that time, his face
made plain that II was pleasant 10
recall those two Summers at that
spot Mrs. Coolidge made no secret of
her feelings. We had 8 great time
there" she said to those who were
near her at the rail at the time.
The trip this afternoon will be
aboard the Mayf1ower and with the
President and Mrs. Coolidge will be
John Coolidge, Senator Charles Curtis
of Kansas, who Is a house guest at
White Court; Maj. ]. F. Coupal, the
Presidents physician; Col. S. A
Cheney, chief military aide, and Secre-
tary Sanders. The ship is scheduled
to sail from Marblehead Bay at 4
O'Clock. The party expects to he back
at White Court in time for supper.
Will Address Picnicers.
The very first thing the President
will do when the boat docks will be
to go TO the cottage in which he
and his family lived. 1t is expected
also that he will steer the party about
various spots along the beach for
which he and Mrs. Coolidge have fond
memories. They will then go to the
picnic being held by the United Drug
Co. where will be gathered several
thousand employees of this interna-
tional concern. The President accept.

Miners and Owners Urged to Divorce
Field From Outside Control.

PITTSBURGH. Pa, July % LP).-
A special subcommittee of the Pitts
burgh Chamber Of Commerce, in a re-
port adopted by the organization last
night and made public today, recon-
mends that the miners and operators
of the Pittsburgh district form inde-
pendent organizations so as Ito per-
NIT revival of the coal industry" in
the region. A committee will be
named to endeavor to carry the rec.
concentrations into practical effect.
The subcommittee claimed that the
Pittsburgh field was unable to COM
pete with other fields because the
miners are bound by scales fixed by
the United Mine Workers of America
and because the operators are affili J.
ated with the Central Competitive
Field Operators of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois. who ARE not interested in
permitting the Pittsburgh field the en-
joyment of the superior advantages
which nature has given it"
Now 80 Per Cent Idle.
The committee reported that it's in
vestigation showed that the cost of
producing and loading a ton of coal,
under present conditions, in this re-
gion, ranged from $40 to $3.50, from
so cents to 81 more than the cost in

French Finance Minister Desires
to Make Trip, lie Matin
Says.
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS. July 22.-Finance Minister
Caillaux, saws LIE Matin, has strong
desire 10 GO to the United States. If
only for few days, with the mission
which will try to make arrangements
for settling Frances war debt It Is
believed probable that M. Franklin
Bouillon, former minister OF missions
abroad, will be a member of the mis-
sion. which is likely TO start for
Washington in September.
AS regards a moratorium and the
number of years over which the pay
ments on the debt are to be spread, !,
the newspaper says that the preliml-
nary talks in Washington have given
some encouragement.
Referring to the debt to Great Brit
ain, the Matin states that the only
point remaining unsettled is whether
the French should substitute them
selves for default on the part OF
Germany in the payment OF the
French debt to England.
