no picnic IIlSTG WOulQ DC no LuCe
newspaper story, and that made the
society Lady stop and think.
She sent for me and ordered me to
carry out the picnic with the least
possible expense. The next day the
picnic passed through the streets of
Newport.
It consisted of one motor truck
containing about fifteen children,
who were driven to the nearest woods
and given one ice cream cone nd a
bag Of peanuts as refreshments"
That's all there was to the doWag-
er's entertainment.
But she called up the papers, ex-
planned that she had given her Gus
tomary picnic, and was rewarded by
seeing the usual column of laudatory
praise of her charity.
The climber, however, can not
hope to succeed at such tricks. They
are reserved for the old, firmly en-
trenched members of society, and
the social aspirant must be prepared
TO pave her way with gold.
EOR example, here are a few of
Il the things in the way of ex-
penses that the person who crashes
| society's portals must be prepared
to meet.
First of all, q good New York adj
dress is necessary, preferably on
Fifth avenue or Park avenue. This
need not be a large apartment. eight
/ rooms will do, and it will cost from
$4,000 year up to 10000. And it
will cost many times the price of
the rent to have it decorated.
A country place on Long Island,
in Connecticut, Westchester or in
certain parts Of New Jersey, which
will be kept open the year around,
is a necessity. Such a place costs
in the neighborhood of $250,000 and
as much more, at least, for the fur
niShingS,
This will include such necessary
! trimmings as a swimming pool, stables,
an organ and gardens. Such a place
will require a retinue of from 6 to
20 servants not including outside
help.
Naturally, too, this sort of estab-
liShnent needs gardeners, kennel
men and groomS if the social as
pirant goes in for horses and dogs.
The monthly pay roll for servants
for a place of this kind probably
will average 5000.
To accompany such a. pretentious
home four or five cars are neces-
sary. They should range from
Fords for marketing and station
work to Hispanos or Rolls RoyceS
for best.
A greenhouse, while not a neceS-
sity, is a convenient accessory; and
at Palm Beach, Newport, or South
ampton a private yacht Is de-
manded.
A climber who Is determined to
break into society in a big way
could count on, say, $250,000 for an
ocean yacht, carrying q crew OF
about eighteen men.
MO small part Of the expense OF
| ~ a society family is the eXpen-
diture for clothes for its women.
| The smart American society woman
is the best dressed woman in the
world.
She buys her clothes at the most
exclusive and expensive houses in
Paris, London and New York. She
needs many different types of
dresses because Of the varied life
she leads.

to turn out those short comedies so fast that he doesn't know
how many he did make. During the past few years he has been
making pictures at the rate of ore each year. This list also could
be stretched to include Mary Pckford, Douglas Fairbanks, Gloria
Swanson, Norma Talmadge and Richard Barthelmess.
However, despite the reduction in the number of pictures per
annum they now are making, many of our present day favoites
have surprisingly long lists of films to their credit. Foremost
among them is Tom Mix, who has not been in front of a camera
for the last eighteen months. Yet Tom is said to have played in
more than 400 pictures during his brilliant career. Next in line is
Jack Mulhan, who has 300 films to his credit and still is going strong.
Bebe Daniels easily wins first place anon our feminine popu-
1ahon with 28 productions, many of them, of course, being the
one and tWo-reelers which were so popular some years ago. Betty
Compson can count up to PIG when she starts to name over her
films. And Mary Pickford and Norma Talmadge are both safely
above the 200 mark.
Many Have Played Nearly 100 Roles
So far as we have been able to determine, none of the players
whose names glitter in electric lights are between the 100 and
200 mark. But there are quite a few who fall short by only a
small margin of having played 100 roles. They are H. B. Warner
900; George Marion and Edmund Breese 800; Milton Stills and
Edmund Lowe C7O; Evelyn Brent, Louise Fazenda and Harry
Gribbon 600; Clara Bow, Richard Dix, Conrad Nagel, Viola Dana
and Shirley Mason (5O; Richard Barthelmess, Bessie Love, Lila
Lee, Wallace Berry and Harry Carey 4).
There are quite a number of others who can claim between
thirty and forty picturs. Among them are Give Brook, William
Powell, Mary Brian, Warner Baxter, John Gilbert, William Names,
Clyde Cook, Edward Everett Horton, Pauline Frederick, Corinne
Griffith, Jack Holt, Constance Talmadge, Mae Murray and
Thomas Meighan.

and like the noise of a city in
flames. My idea may be all wet. II
may be that just some good woman
was baking a cake and burnt it all
I'D in the range. Anyway, you do
experience something as Charlie
Davis states, probably has never
been done by any orchestra before
in the country" 1t might make you
want to hear Home Sweet Home"
or such a modern" as "St. Louis
Blues" but you must admit that
Resener and his men put it over in
good shape.
Now we have the talking version
of "Manslaughter," with Fredrlc
March as the young prosecuting at
torney, who sends his own high So
ciety sweetie to prison for many
years because she killed an officer
with her auto. The haughy heroine,
who finally gets a heart and begins
to act like a human being, is played
by Claudette Colbert.
Here is good acting, wise direction
and good photography. March gets
all the sympathy. Miss Colbert
makes the heroine" the cheap
skate that she is, plays it honestly
and we'll.
You know the story and I will not
repeat.
The only feature of outstanding
quality in the stage show is the
great toe tap dancing of Dick and
Edith Barstow. They are wonder
full. The rest is only so so.

tertainer, out for money, nothing
more. Then she meets Griff. Money
becomes insignificant, love every
thing. But Mac has met Marie be-
fore; he knows how she has lived,
and, therefore, misjudges her inten-
tions. The two pals really quarrel
this time. Passions r laid bar.
A time comes when Mac and Griff
find themselves alone in the desert,
after an encounter with the Riffs.
Griff tries to help Mac, who has
been wounded, but is rebuked. A
lone Riff makes his appearance, I'M
seen to Mac, shoots him in the back
and makes his getaway, as Griff
fires after him. Mac thinks Griff
has shot him. Against orders Griff
carries him to an ambulance.
AS a result of trying to save his
pal, Griff is sentenced to ten years
On Hell's island. Marie promises to
follow. To keep her promise she
marries Mac, after his wound has
healed, and persuades him to finish
his remaining two years as a guard
on the island.
On the island Mac learns her true
purpose, and thinks he has been
double-crosssed by both Griff and
Marie. He arranges an escape for
them, meaning to double-cross them
in turn, but he discovers in time
that Griff did not shoot him. OF
course. what follows is only what
one pal would do for another, espe-
cially when that one has SO mis-
judged the other. Suspense and ac-
ton are prominent in "Hells
Island" The acting and direction
are good.
I want 70 add that the sound
equipment in the new Terminal,
where this picture is showing, is
excellent, which adds much to any
theater or picture.

nell Turpen.)

1t holds your interest. Novarro does
remarkably well as the heartbroken
clown in "Pagliacci." In fact, he
will surprise you. He makes up for
some weak work at the first of the
picture by his good work in the last
half. The director also seemed to
get awake and realizes that he had
something to do, and he did it we'll;
that is in the last half.
I think that the mistake has been
made in attempting to drag out a
story that could have been told in
two or three less reels.
The feminine love element is
played by Dorothy Jordan. The
type of role would handicap any
one. Ernest Terrence is both good
and bad. Bad in the first part and
good in the last. He plays the piano.
Really? Yes. it looks like it.
You may or may not agree with
me. That is your great privilege.

BUSINESS CRASH
BLAME LAID TO
c.. 0. POLICIES
Democrats to Hammer on
Hard Times Theme in
Vote Contests.
BIZ soripps-Ho1ard Yepspoper Alliance

By Scripps-Ho1drd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The
Democrats will go to the country in
the fall elections with the business
depression, the agricultural slump,
and enactment of a Republican
tariff alleged to have accumulated
these conditions as their principal
arguments for reputation of the
Hoover administration.
On the heels of the Republican
national committees issuance of an
unofficial campaign platform re-
citing the achievements of the
Hoover administration, Representa-
tive Cordell Hull of Tennessee, a
former national chairman and a
candidate for the senate, today de-
clared the G. o. P. statement only
emphasized that "the first year and
a half of the Hoover administra-
ton is distinguished by lack of a
striking performance for the public
welfare"
In the two statements are seen
the notes which the party cam
paignerS will stress in the COM
ing campaign. The Republicans
will ask a vote of confidence on the
strength Of the tariff and agricul-
ture acts and the London naval
treaty. while the Democrats will
contend that the new duties and the
farm boards policies have done
nothing to prevent unemployment
or bring the country out of the
slump.
They will picture the naval pact
as negligible in its effect, even
though they will point out that
Democratic votes made possible its
approval by the senate.
Hull'S statement commented on
the Republicans failure to sing the
old song of prosperity as a war cry.
1t assailed the tariff as designed to
aggravate bad conditions, and de-
clared the opposition was content to
let the G.. o. P. take credit for crea-
ton of the farm board and its sub
sequent accomplishments.
Most of the other things cited in
the administrations review, Hull
asserted, consisted of mere routine
performances. It also declared that
effective leadership, political, NOR
al and economic" had not been
shown by the President or his party
associates.

out. In the war his main worry is
to keep himself well covered with
danger eliminator, which in the
form of powder. he purchases for
the price Of 50 from a fellow soldier.
Bullets, gas, nothing holds any
terror for Moran, and Mack and
his dog, with the danger eliminator
ever protecting them. They make
a parade ground out of no mans
land. 1t disappointS Mack to think
that his dog, would make love to an
enemy dog, but anything seems to
go in this war.
Aside from the comedy furnished
by these two well-known blackfaced
fun makers, Neil Hamilton and
Joan Peers bring in a little love in
terest. just enough for a good
balance.
If you like Moran and Mack, you
will like this picture. Nothing seri-
Gus about it, except perhaps when
Mack says goodbye to all mis- dogs,
before sailing for the big war.

in sorrow.

CONNECTS KEPT
IN DARK CELLS,
HALF STARVED
Prison Survey BareS Harsh
Treatment Given UnruIy
Inmates.

By Scripps-Hotcar Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-The
unsuccessful fight against solitary
confinement made by Sanford
Bates, superintendent of United
States prisons. before the interna-
tional prison conference at Prague,
focused attention again on the
harsh disciplinary measures used IN
some American penitentiaries.
A survey shows that solitary con-
fnement is not unusual, dark cells
and the bread and water diet are
more or less common, and ever the
dungeon still exists.
There evidently is a trend toward
more humane treatment Of prison
ers, but the relatively small scope
of this movement is illustrated in a
survey of American penitentiaries
published recently by the National
Society of Penal Information. Inc.
Paul w. Garrett and A. H. Mac
Cormick were editors of the society's
1929 handbook of prisons. The latter
is an official in Bates bureau.
Confined in Dark Cells
Confinement of prisoners, who
have committed some Of the more
serious offenses in dark or semi
dark cells, prevails even in federal
penitentiaries, the survey revealed.
Four dark cells await unruly
prisoners at Mcneil Island, Wash,
but the sixteen punishment cells
there are described as Large, light
and differentiated"
For more serious offenses, men
sent to TT. Leavenworth are con-
fined in Semi-dark cells, sometimes
on restricted diet. Kilby prison,
Oklahoma, has dark cells in which
prisoners are shut up, usually only
for a few days. Ventilation and
sanitation is described as mot up to
modern institutional standards in
the semi-dark punishment cells at
Florence, Ariz.
There is a dungeon at Folsom
prison, California, where men are
confined if the cells in the punish
ment corridor are filled. After the
first ten days in these cells, the
bread and water diet is broken by
one full ration a week.
Kept in Dungeons
There are fourteen punishment
ccells at San Quentin in the same
state. The survey found them dark.
without plumbing. but fed with air
through a forced ventilation sys-
tenn.
A prisoner who breaks the rules
at Railford prison, Fla, can be sent
to solitary confinement and given
terms of a few hours up to ten days.
The prison at Boise, Idaho. had
eighteen dark punishment cells, in
which convicts are confined from
two to three days a week. Occa-
sionally one is held for thirty days.
In one case, the survey related, an
inmate was confined for upward
of a year"
From one to ten days in solitary
on bread and water are given frac-
tious prisoners at Michigan City,
Ind, and the Saltwater Minn.)
prison also disciplines convicts by
solitary confinement.

doctors after the picture and they
told me in answer to my questions
that the operations recorded in the
movie were real, done by the Euro
pean method and not in this Coun-
try as different cuts and methods
are generally used. But the opera
tions of childbirth in this movie
are real, that 1 believe.
These are not pleasant sights and
do not come under the head of en-
tertainment.
Parts of the movie showing a
young girl going astray are terribly
silly, poorly directed-the only pos
sible excuse being that Of a pos
Sible moral.
The picture may make you i'll at
your stomach; it may stun you or
you may REBEL at the whole thing.
You may think it is terrible.

SLOWING UP
Movie Players Make Fewer
Pictures Now to Retain tardom
BY DAN THOMAS
NEA Service Writer

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Sept. 1-Can the popularity Of a motion
4 4 picture player be determined by the number OF pictures in
which he or she appears?
Strange as it may seem to some persons, the answer to that
question is a very decided mo"
Proof Of that statement is that We know extras and bit players
who have appeared in scores Of films and yet they don't know
what a fan letter looks like. Yet Maurice Chevaher, who I'M
questionably ranks among the five most popular screen stars today,
has only four pictures to his credit.
Then, too. there are certain stars in the business who used to
make anywhere from twelve to twenty pictures a year. That
was back in the days when the film racket really could be spoken
of as an infant industry. Today, when turning out anywhere
from two a year to one in two years, they are just as popular and
perhaps more so than they were some years ago.
Chaplin Makes One in Two Years
Charlie Chaplin comes under that heading. Charlie used to
grind out two-reelers like sausages. Now he is making one
picture every two years. And the public still swarms to see his
pictures.
Harold Lloyd is another in that same class. Harold used
