was as reasonable and efficient as any
seasoned trouper. Then she saw an.

mediately went on strike. No more
acting for Olga that day. Not even
the coaxing offer of a between-meal
steak from the hand of Bebe herself
could bring Olga back on the set until
the next day.
Genevieve, on the other hand, would
refuse a steak for one reason only
that she couldn't chew it. And then
her old eyes would water regretfully.
She will do anything her master re-
quests, except she can't stand on her
wobbly legs long at time without
leaning against something. In the
comedy, 1.-THE Side Show" Fields puts
his head in her mouth without any
more fear than a dentist jabbing his
drill into your molar.
But Genevieve has had her day OF
glory. She was with Barnum & Bailey.
She broke loose once and terrorized
a whole town. She was a splendid
queen Of beasts. But now she has
descended to character part.

Radio and the Movies
Help Develop Dances

DADIO and motion pictures assist
~ greatly in the making Of new
dances.
The radio conveys newly devised
time to the ballroom dancers. Thou
sands listen to the radio. learn the
time Of new pieces, and naturally
dance accordingly. Years ago dane.
ing throughout the country varied
greatly. People in Chicago knew
hardly anything Of New York's style
of dancing. The South possessed
dances that were entirely unknown to
the Northern populace.
Now. the radio furnishes the entire
country with the same dance time,
and thus similar dancing Is executed
by all members Of the terpsichorean
art.
The motion pictures depict dances
from various parts of the world. The
theater- goers witness these new
movements and attempt to learn them.
Invariably in trying the dance they
will accomplish steps similar to those
appearing on the screen, but not the
exact production. Thus, a different
version Of a popular dance can be
found in nearly every large city. AS
the devised dance is executed in local
bathrooms new-fangled steps are added,
until the product Is decidedly different
from the original.
The releasing Of modern music also
helps in the origination Of new dances.
Ballroom dancers will attempt to
execute the present steps with new
piece. find that the time Is different,
and originate dances that will be suit
able to the new tempo.

BY CONSTANCE TALMADGE.

OUCH lot of people seem anxious
- to convince the world that they
play a pretty serious role in life. They
like to give the impression that,
at heart, they are really profound
and full of deep thoughts, if only
the rest of humanity would take the
trouble to understand them.
SO they get photographed-"among
my precious books" or reported fully
when delivering speeches on the dull
est of dull topics.
But that isn't my way. I believe
in laughter and the JOY of living.
I'm positive that the very best thing
in the world, the most exhilarating
thing, is to make other people, sad
people, laugh.
Not so easy, believe me, but just
wonderful when you succeed. Why
not try it? Not derisive, sarcastic
mirth, but the genuine laughter that
means health, for no other kind Is
worth having.
I've been doing it all my life; kid
ding along, laughing along and try
ing to make others laugh with me.

I'm glad it has been like that, for

I'd rather make somebody laugh

CORONER'S JURY
JUSTIFIES ACT
/, OF |. A. SLAYER

LOS ANGELES Nov. 90 lP)-A cor
Oner's jury. returned verdict today
describing as "juStifiable' the act of
Mrs Hazel Hull in Staying Gordon j.
Waters, 20 year old attacker of her
daughter.
The verdict stated that the jury,
composed of eight men, found that
Waters ''came to his death from a
gunshot wound inflicted by Mrs. Hazel
Hull in the defense of the honor Of
her young daughter, and we feel that
her act was justifiable"
The coroner'S inquest was robbed of
its significance a, few minutes after
the verdict was returned. Detectives
from the district attorneys office en-
tered the coroner's rooms and served
subpoenas upon Mrs. Hull and her wit
nesSeS ordering their appearance be-
fore the grand jury tomorrow morn
ing. Earlier in the day Chief Deputy
District Attorney H L. Davis had or
dered the entire matter turned over to
the grand jury for investigation. This
action had been preceded by the con-
feSSed Slayer'S arraignment on a first
degree murder charge, and the setting
of December as the date for pre-
lininary hearing. If the grand jury
returns an Indictment the woman will
be granted no hearing on the COM
paint.
The sudden move of Davis for a.
grand jury inquiryswas given an air of
mystery by him. He declined to COM
lnent on his action or the. case. One,
Of his detectives added to the mystifi-
cation by stating that I'VE wish to
keep our evidence to ourselves
Waters was shot fatally Sunday
night, while leaving the rooming house
conducted by Mrs. Hull she accused
him of attacking her II year old
daughter, Marie, during an automobile
ride last week, and declared after her
arrest she was glad she had killed him
for his act. Joe Harlow, fellow sales
man of Waters, testified at the cor
oner's inquest that Waters excitedly
confessed to have attacked the girl,
and wailing that he would have to-
leave town.
