A MOVIE ACTRESS
by United Press Leased Wire

\ HOLLYWOOD, Aug. %. - The
sudden illness of Vera Reynolds,
screen star, who was removed to
the Hollywood emergency hospital
last night suffering from gastric
poisoning was still considerable of
mystery here today.
Three versions of tie affair were
recorded by police who were sum-
moned to the Reynolds home after
Mrs. Lille Reynolds, mother of the
actress, had found her daughter ly-
ing on the bathroom floor and call
ed in friend Enrico Rio.
While investigating officers re
ported they found an empty lvsol
bottle in the bath room and that
the house reeked with the odor of
the poison, Mrs. Reynolds suggested
that her daughter may have mistak
en- another bottle for medicine.
The actress vehemently denied
that she had attempted suicide, al
though police reported that Miss
Reynolds admitted that she had had
"a few drinks' and DR.. F. G. Mel
son, who examined her stated that
the sudden illness may have result
ed from a poor quality Of bootleg
liquor.
According to Detective Lieuten
ants Dickey and Cowart who con
Quoted an investigation of the af
fair. they found "Miss Reynold:
vomiting and attended by hen
mother and boy friend, who was
administering an antidote in the
form Of raw eggs.'
Poison in Room
The report further stated THAT
Mrs. Reynolds said her daughter
had been i'll and in the care of a
doctor for some time and that it
was possible she had taken the
wrong bottle of medicine.
"Our investigation revealed the
presence of an empty lysol bottle
in the bathroom and the room smell
ed very strongly of lysol,' the re
port said.
At the emergency hospital {
stomach pump was applied and at
tending physicians reported that ne
trace of poison was found. The
doctors expressed the opinion thai
Miss Reynolds may have been sui
fering from ptomaine poisoning.
Miss Reynolds was later removed
to her home.
81 am not ready\to end it al
yet, life is indeed very sweet anC
I have much to live for,' she said
She said that she had been work
ing long hours at the studio anC
attributed her illness to overwork.
Miss Reynolds was admitted tt
the hospital under the name OF
HNorma Montgomery" She is di
vorced from Earl T. Montgomery, 3
film director.
Miss Reynolds was former com
edienne at the Mack Sennett anc
Christie studios, recently signing =
contract with the DeMille studios.

never endangered the lead.
The Senators were unable to make

a shutout and their 18th straight
defeat. The White SoX won 1 to 0
by punching four hits and taking
advantage of two Washington errors
in the seventh inning to score all
OF their runs.
The st. Louis Browns were as
helpless in their game with the
Yankees as they have been all sea
son. The score was 10 to in favor
of the latter. Babe Ruth hit home

and Williams of St. Louis also had
four base hits.
Boston took sccsaw game from
the Indians in the 18th inning to

Champion Has
Sore Shoulder

SPECULATOR, n. V, Aug. "a
The chief interest around Gene Tun-
ney's training camp is the champi.
on's slightly stiff right shoulder.
He, ,hasn It had a workout since
last Thursday, partially because of
the weather and partially because
of his shoulder. ..-
"The fact that I have lame
shoulder has nothing to do with my
vacation" Tunney said. However
it is thought that the champion is
taking the injury to his shoulder
more seriously than he would have
the camp followers believe.

pion, and Jackie Fields, erstwhile
135-pounder, are resting today for
their battle of 10 rounds or less at
the Olympic tomorrow night, which
will enter the ring at catchweights.
Knockout predictions have been

Fields before his recent eastern
