Hank fell back on her pill
low. Her hands clasped and
her fingers interwove. The
tears squirted from her eyes.
Thank God /! she breathed.
"Oh, dear God, / thank
you!'
Fine. Now tina t settled, /"
said Queenie.
Then she turned her back
to Hank, settled herself into
a comfortable position, and
in half a minute Hank heard
her soft, regular breathing.
Queenie was asleep. Hank
got up. She tucked the
cover over Queenie s bare
shoulders, and as she slid
the limp arm under she
held it in her hand q mo-
ment and stared down on
the diamond and emerald
bracelet.
It sparkled even more bril-
liantly than before. Per-
haps it was the rays Of the
sun, now fully risen. Or
maybe it was the tear that
dropped on it.

TALKIES DON'T

Brains Are More important
Than Lovely Features,
Says Edwards.
BY DAN THOMAS
NEA Service Writer

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, June o.
Stay away from Hollywood. you
beauty contest winners-there isn't
any place here for you now.
That is the advice of Gus Ed
wards, who spent thirty years in
building himself up as one of the
most famous stage stars in Ameri-
ca. Edwards, who was born in
Brooklyn, N. Y, and educated in
night school there, claims to have
played in every city of more than
1000 population in the United States
during his thirty years on the stage.
But for the past ten months he has
been concentrating in the cinema
industry.
Within the next two years speak
ing films will have revolutionized the
entire personnel of the motion pic
ture industry" Edwards declares.
There no longer is any place for
the beautiful bathing contest winner
who used to be received with open
arms. In the old days beauty made
a successful screen actress. But to-
day girl needs more than beauty.
She must have personality and
brains.
What about the voice? Well, that
is a factor which must be consid-
cred, of course. But the most i'm
portant thing is for the actor to
have enough brains to know what
he is talking about. If he has, he

will speak his lines all right and
the quality of his voice will take
care Of itself.
Right now the actor is more or
less at the mercy Of the electrical
apparatus used in recording his
voice. That device can't tell him
what is wrong with his voice or
what it wants. But any actor with
brains, after hearing his voice re-
produced a few times can tell what
is wrong with it and how to adjust
it to the requirements Of the micro
phone"
Neither the present day screen
player nor stage player is of the type
which eventually will be evolved,
according to Edwards. The final
word in film players of tomorrow
will be in a sense q combination OF
the two, but will be entirely differ
ent from either.
There is a vast difference from
acting behind the footlightS and in
front Of movie cameras" remarked
Edwards. when you are playing
on the stage, you can get down close
to the audience and actually sell
yourself right over the footlights.
But on the screen you can't do that.
There isn't that personal contact.
And, having no chance to sell your
self, you must be good to make the
audience accept you"

WASHINGTON, June 22.-While

will attempt TO interest them in a
concerted movement to secure re-
lease Of Tom Mooney and Warren K.

thirteen years.
Letters have been sent to each

Bound to Hurt Law
The letters say: we invite your
interest because We feel that moth
ing destroys public confidence in
our judicial system more surely than
the belief that man can be con-
victed on framed-up evidence and
then be denied redress because they
are labor agitatOrs Such a belief
is bound to create disrespect for law.
II strikes at the very foundations
OF government.
"In their belief that any such
challenge to American processes of
Justice will interest you. we venture
10 suggest your writing the Gov
ernor or making your view publicly
known either by such means as you
prefer or by writing to this COM
mittee."
Three Senators Support Move
Three United States senators have
already made public a plea for par
don of Mooney and Billings. The
same day the letters were received,
Senator Gerald P. Nye in a speech
in the senate called on President
Herbert Hoover to use his influence
in behalf of pardons for Mooney
and Billings, as part OF his law en-
fOrcement program.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler added
his belief in the innocence of the
two men. Both senators put into
the record a mass of testimony and
other evidence in the two trials.
Senator Thomas Schall had already
spoken in MONEYS behalf.
