solved file for three years. Today
there arose a chance that the
mystery surrounding the disappear

Haw was questioned today by
George L. Brewer, district attorney
in Brooklyn, and William F. x.
Geoghan, district attorney-elect.
Held on Old Charge
Haw was arrested i'll Jamaica,
Queens, by a detective who had
worked on the Cedarholm case and
CHANGED to recognize Haw upon
passing him in the street. A charge
of forgery. preferred by Phila-
delphia lawyer more than two years
ago. still stood against the man in
connection with two checks bearing
Miss Cedarholm's signature.
Questioned with such inducements
toward frankness as a police sta
ton can afford, Haw said that he
had married Miss Cedarholm, that
she had borne three children to him,
and that she now was in Florida,
detectives reported.
There was as battling quality
about the lodging house kept by
Miss Cedarholm as about her dis
appearance. She had continued to
operate the house after the death

rooners were men with criminal

ages-she then was about 26-and

she was said to have entered taxi

She never was seen again, al

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Nov. I'll
IL Hollywood, the capital of
make believe and pretense, is also
the crossroads of the world.
Widely separated paths converge
especially where beautiful
girls are concerned.
So it is that two lovely young
actresses, separated by thousands
of miles of land and sea through
out most of their lives, have come
together here as intimate friends
climbing the pathway to star
dom together while working in
the same studio on the same pic
ture.
These girls are ELISA Landi and
Marion Lessing.
ELISA Landi was born in Venice,
in Italy. AS a youngster she moved
to England, where she got her
education from private teachers.
Then, wanting to be a novelist.
she went on the stage with a
repertoire company TO get some
experience of life.
She found she liked the stage
so much, and was such a good
actress, that she stuck to it. She
finally entered the films, played
opposite Adolphe Menjou in his
French film, MY Kid of a
Father" came to America to play
the feminine lead in the stage
blay, "A Farewell to Arms" and
then landed in Hollywood with a
long-tern contract.
"A MARION LESSING was born in
lY1 Madison, Wis, the daughter Of
a college professor. She studied at
the University of Illinois and later
IN Berlin, and then went to Vienna,
where she went on the stage. For
,hree years she appeared under
Joseph Jarne, the former teacher of
he great Max Reinhardt. Then she
to New York, got into the
,alkies via 1.-THE Royal Box" and
,ane on to Hollywood.
Now the, two girls have been given
parts in Charles Farrells next film,
'Squadrons." They have become
boon companions, and are seen to-
yether constantly.
