FAMOUS BLONDE,
ALICE TERRY, HAS
RED-BROWN HAIR
Shows Her Bobbed Tresses For First
Time in THE Arab"

Since Alice Terry first flashed into
fame as the heroine of "The Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse, she has
been identified in the minds of her adj
mirers as one of the loveliest blondes
who ever appeared on the screen.
And now comes a surprise.
When Rex Ingraham's new Metro
picture, "The Arab" is seen at the
Roman Theatre next Friday and Sat
urday, Miss Terry will be revealed as
p dark haired beauty. And the hair
is her own!
1t is disillusioning to think that
Miss Terry was never bolnde, really,
but the truth will out, and "The Arab"
gives truth its opportunity.
Hair is Reddish Brown
! Miss Terry's hair Is, in fact, red
dish brown, a glorious auburn of fiery
tints, but, on the screen, it shows
dark.
And instead Of being piled high in
golden waves, as picture-goers re-
me,aDer it in "Sacramouche," 'The
Prisoner of Zenda" and other Ingram
success, it is bobbed!
1t is because her hair was bobbed
that Miss Terry wore wig in her
other pictures, which emphasized ro-
mantle rather than modern styles. The
blonde wig was selected to harmonic
with the stars fair skin and violet
eyes.
| 1t was Mr.. Ingram who determined
that the wig should be abandoned for
the production of "The Arab. Like
all those who know her, the producer
felt that she was much more beautiful
in her own natural color.
Miss Terry Against II
| But Miss Terry objected. She felt
THAT picture-goers who learned to love
/ her as blonde might not be satisfied
with the authenticated substitute,
And then she pointed out that, as an
American mission girl in Moslem
lands, she would not be likely to have
/, bobbed hair. -
I The discussion astsJ alI'tbelway to
Tunis In Northern Africa, where Mr.,
Ingram and Miss Terry went to screen
the picture. And there the first
American woman they met was ar
American missionary, whose hair wal
bobbed!
4 Miss Terry capitulated and ths
} blonde wig was abandoned.
# You'll have to see "The Arab" !
J you want to form your own opinion
of the change--The' picture was adapt
ed from the stage play by Edgar Sci
/ wyn. Ramon Novarro plays the It'll
role.

ferences, and the mutual Improvement
of trade opportunities by increasing
the prosperity of the countries in
volved." x X
In his closing the President had this
to say why we should enter the World
Court: with our already enormous
and constantly increasing interests
abroad, there are constantly accumu-
lating reasons why we should signi-
fly our adherence to the Permanent
Court of International Justice. Mind
full of our determination to avoid all
interference in the political affairs,
which do not concern us, OF other ma
lions, can think of no more reassur-
ing action than the declaration of
America that it will whole-heartedly
join with others in the support of the
tribunal for the administration of in
ternational justice which they have
created. I can conceive of nothing
that we could do, which involves as
Stunning so few obligations on our
part, that would be likely to prove of
so much value to the world. Beyond
it's practical effect. which might be
somewhat small, 1t would have a sem
timental effect which would be tremen-
dous. Il would be public notice that
the enormous influences of our country
were to be cast upon the side Of the
enlightening processes of civilization.
1t would be the beginning of new
world spirit"

Image Pious Wife
At the Breach of
The Wall of China

Chinwangtao, Oct. 80. (AP) -
Where the Peking- Mukden railway
pierces the Great Wall of China at
Shanhaikwan is a temple erected to
the memory of a pious wife whose
husband persisted in the building of
the structure.
Chin Huang-ti, the emperor who
in 246 B. c. 1t was Chin who built
the great wall to keep the country to-
gether
A woman from the south, so the
legend runs, brought cotton-wadded
clothes for her man, who had been i'm
pressed by the emperor to help build
the wall She was told that her hus-
band had died, and that she could not
have his body because it had been
thrown between the brick facings of
the wall and crushed there under
tons of rubble and earth.
The woman persuaded a comrade of
her husband to show her the stretch
of wall where the body of her husband
lay. Three days and three nights
thereafter she walked up and down
that length, until the compassion of
the divine power was excited by her
laments land that part of the wall coll
lapsed.
The scandal came to the ears of the
emperor, who recognized, beneath his
