 SPEECH, RELATES JOKES
"Fcilow Down at New York" Pre- pared Text but Masnate
 Spurns It for Humor.

Chicago, Jan. Is P-A fellow down at New York" writes Charles NJ. Schwab's speeches. He wrote one for delivery here last night, Schwab spoke his own.
 The prepared text dealt with world topics, and the "64 year old young Pittsburg mill man" publicly acknowledged it. But what he actu- ally said was another thing.
 You know there's a fellow down at New York who writes my speech es for me-" Mir. Schwab told those at the annual banquet of the Amcri- can Road Builders association. He's written one for me to deliver 10 you tonight. It has been given to all the newspapers and you can read it to- morrow morning.
 Now I guess we need not be bothered with it any more"
 He swept into a joke, kept his hearers laughing and applauding a half hour and finished with a burst of humor.
 Onco he nearly got into his pre- pared text when he told the road builders of his regard for theil work and the necessity of 1t, but he did not say it In the language of the prepared speech. 1t was the re- collection of many of his hearers that Mir. Schwab has previously done this stunt on at least one other occaSion.)

BARRYMORE TAXES YOUTHS IN MOVIES
Gives Young Thespians Chance to Show Stuff

New York, Jan. Is R--A dra- matte story, revolving around young director and an even more youthful actress working in their first big production, was behind the filming Of John Earrymore's latest picture, "Tho Sea Beast"
 When Warner Brothers announced Willard Webb as the director to handle the famous actor. Holly wood shrugged its shoulders and wondered. Then Webb decided on Dolores Costello, a girl who had becn on the movie lots only three months. to play opposite Barrymore, Thcro were more movements of the shoulders and wcndcrmont.
 Miss Costello was given her role because she met the type demand and because, being the daughter of Maurice Costello, it was thought she could act. As for the youthful di- rector handling a veteran Of the stage In production new to both Of them, Webb said:
 "Barrymore is one of the easiest
 players have ever directed. For nerve he has no superior; In fact his nerve brought us into trouble. John was at tho top Of one of the
 masts and the scenario called for him 10 slide down long cable 10 the deck I yelled to ask If he wns ready. merely ioking.,. for [ planned to send sailor 'dou
 to come down.
 "rhen l saw he was serious and
 as I called camera down he came 1 about threc times as fast as a regu- 1 lar sailor. He completed tho scene | before someone called my attention to the fact that his legs and hands
 were badly burned, cut and bleed ing.
 Again. a light between John and his half-brothcr was called for, John put so much reality into if
 he fcll, breaking three ribs and causing q delay of as many weeks, It took us more than seven months
 to make the picture"
 When tho schooner, "The Three l Brothers," began hunting whales, several of the giants were killed but they would not last long enough for the completion ot scenes. So an enormous ''prop' whale was constructed and operate q through mechanical devices from shore.
 It was at one of the biggest mo-
 ments of the picture that the young Miss Costello came to test. The girl
 was to cry and the director wanted
 real tears, but she could not get l herself into ''crying mood i throughout the day.
 The next morning I said some ! thing to her about my responsihili- i ty for her opportunity and asked whether she was going to live uF : to my expectations" Webb said
 she began crying immediately and what a scene we got"

Wives Who Refuse to Take Hubby's Name Cause Grief

London, Jan. 15 R-Modern wives who refuse 10 take their husbands names have set social secretaries by the ears. Engravers have protited, however. and passport bureaus are large winners.
 It Is not safe now to send an in vitation to MT. and Mrs. James Bat tie Royal without looking into the social register. Mrs. James Battle Royal may not be Mrs. James Battle Royal at all. She may be Miss G. Alone. And that is tragedy where engraved invitations have been care- fully counted on the fashioned theory that married couples are real ly married in good old Victorian style.
 Wives who are willing to travel on a family passport issued In the name of the head of the family are rapidly going out of fashion. Even if they do wear their husbands names. they want a separate pass port. and that means extra fees for viSas.
