There isn't any other way of fighting
these fears than to fight them until

Certainly If you have lost hearing in

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, June esther
Ralston has taken up tap dancing as
part Of the routine Of talkies. In the
class also are Olive Borden. Arthur
Lake, the Fairbanks twins, Lee Moran
and some others.
All Hollywood is divided into three
parts-those who try to dance, those
who dance, and those how dance well.
And the members Of the last-named
group are getting the best roles in pic
lures these days.
A harelip or a cleft palate may be
made to earn as much as $50 a day
now if it happens to catch the fancy
of the talkie casting director.
Character voices are as much in de-
mand now as character actors have
been In the past. They are relied upon
to bring novelty to the sound situation.
Some of this has been done by the use
of foreign accents, notably by Lionel
Barrymore in the pictures he has di-
rected.
Two of the villages leading studios
have decided to abandon the silent YER
sion of their products.
Heretofore all-talkies have been made
in two ways-silent and audible. There
are houses all over the country still not
wired, and the silent version was for
these and for the few in communities
where audible films did not catch on
Immediately.
But producers have discovered that
until sound picture is made all sound
and without a silent release it will
never achieve the perfection Of the old
silents.
Trying to meet two demands with one
film necessitates a loss to both versions
There is an excess Of gesture and facial
expression in the audible film, and the
pantomimic version lacks the animation
it should have by reason of the fact
that the actors are Supplementing theil
gestures with words.
One of the finest releases the village
has made in recent months has suf-
fered from this. In the opening sho
OF the valiant there is a subtitle ex.
planning that this is street in the
heart of great city.
A glance at the shot which follow:

would at once recognize it as charac-
teristic of large American city. and i
would be so alien to Small-toWneI

The choice Of a table may seem a
very unimportant item to some home
makers, but to those who are serious
about creating attractive rooms 1t Is OF
first importance.

The wrong lamp will make the entire
room seem in bad taste, and the same
is true of tables, for these must be in
harmony with the decorative scheme

draperies.
In the illustration is a little cherry
table which is perfectly delightful in
combination with the furnishings for
an early American room. Used in the

Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, January 1.-THE pro-
portions OF the Super-power plan, whose
first phase was revealed yesterday in
the announcement of the $3.50 100000
United Corporation under Morgan aus
pices, will eventually be so large as to
include practically all of the power pro-
ducing companies in New York State
and in Greater New York. as we'll as
those of New Jersey and Eastern Penn
sylvania.
Public utility managers today stated
that the step which has just been taken
Is the first in a movement that not only
brings together the United Gas I'M
provement Co. of Philadelphia, the
Public Service Corp. of New Jersey and
the Mohawk Hudson Power Co. in
New York State, but will, within year
or two, claim the support of the Con-
solidated Gas Co. of New York and the
Brooklyn Edison Co., which the Mat
thew Sloan management believes should
be hooked up physically with other
public utility corporations in their ter
ritory.
whether the United Corporation pro-
poses to limit its activities to the East
ern territory or will go further afield is
not yet indicated. The movement to-
ward consolidation Of already large
POWCk COIiRdAILCo AlAVO CNCA4
greater units Is believed to be one Of the
important economic changes to be
pushed to the utmost this year and
next.
Apparently there Is no anxiety felt
by either the managers or the bankers
for the public utility companies that
their consolidation plans will be re-
sisted by the Hoover administration. 1t
is understood that the Washington at
titude was sounded before the new
Morgan corporation was organized and
satisfactory intimations were given.
The fact that the Federal Trade Com
mission is now conducting an investi-
cation into the workings of the public
utility corporations, and especially
those whose functions are primarily of
supervision and financing. has not
slowed up the tendency to create more
companies Of the sort that the COM
