MRS. W|LLEbRANDT
 QU|zzED BY DRYS
Defends Her Position as Counsel
 for Fruit Industries

Washington, Dec. 9 UP)-A per sonal defense of her position with respect to the grape concentrate controversy was made before the National Temperance council today by Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, former assistant attorney general in charge of prohibition prosecution.
 Mrs. Willebrandt. who has recent ly been criticized by some drys for her~connection with Fruit Industries, Inc.. which marketed the product, was before the council for nearly two hours explaining her position The session was closed to the press but it was understood Mrs Willie brandt submitted to lengthy ques- tion1ng.
 Mrs. Willebrandt and Oliver w. Stewart of Chicago were the chief figures at the morning session. Stewart, a noted dry leader and president of the flying squad founda- tion. of the drys, told the council that prohibition organization to function properly ''in the present emergency must be political, not religious or ecclesiastical"
 Discusses Church
 "The church. controlled state is as much to be avoided as a state-con- trolled church." he said. But the fact that the church and it's directly organized and accredited agencies havo no place properly in a political contest does not rule out of the struggle those citizens who are mem- bers of the church.
 "Our battle must be fought and won by warriors who are not mem hers of the church as we'll as by those who are.'
 He said the present activities of -prohibitionists made it impera- tive that the defenders of the law mobilize for the election of delegates to the national republican and democratic conventions in 1882.
 Either we will meet them there amendment in great danger" Dr. Stewart sad.
 Mabel Still Dry
 It was learned that Mrs Willie brandt had reaffirmed her faith in the dry law and had made clear that she. is as earnest an advocate of pro- hibition as she was when she stump ed the country assailing Alfred E. Smiths wet views.
 Dry leaders said that after Mrs. Willebrandt's talk she was greeted cordially by all present.
 The referendum topic, apparently stilled definitely by last nights reso- lution opposing any such idea, was understood to have been revived to- day with appearance of Rep. Frank lin ". Fort, republican. N. J. Fort, close friend of President Hoover, is said to have suggested in a brief speech that vets and drys might reach a common ground in a series of state conventions rather than by submitting the prohibition question to the voters.

HOPE ID PRODUCE ARTIFICIAL CANCER
Chicago Workers Use Human Cells in Test Tube

Chicago, Dec. 9 (UP)-A system of cancer research through human cells kept alive in test tube was announced today by St. Luke's hos pital, with the prediction that the new method will open up new lines of attack against the disease.
 "A small piece of tissue was taken from the human body and placed in a sterile glass chamber" the research workers explained. Small amounts of coagulated blood and few drops of plasm expressed from living issues was added to 1t.
 The chamber, sealed off from air, then was placed in an incubator heated to the exact temperature of the human body
 Subsequent microscopic examina- tion, the announcement said, showed that the tissue, first about the size Of match head, remained in a living state and it's cells multiplied. Hope to Produce Cancer "We are proceeding on the theory" the announcement said, that py subjecting the human tls- sue to conditions favorable to the production of cancer, the experi- , mental production of cancer may be accomplished. Thus, we may have a new approach to the problem of can- Cer research
 Research workers pointed out that in no sense can the experiment be considered cure nor as yet even as a treatment, for cancer.
 Dr. Edwin F. Hirsch, director of St. Luke's laboratory, said the ex-
 pertinent had nothing in common
 with that reportedly being conducted by Cleveland Clinic foundation
 where Dr. c. W. Grille is said to have solved the problem of produc- ing life from organic matter.

NO GREAT ACTORS LEFT, ANHALT SAYS
Producer Takes Lions Club Into
 Intimate World Of Stage

There are no great actors of real genius on the stage today, although there are number of splendid ac- tors of very fine ability, according to L. J. Anhalt, speaking to the Lions club at the Burritt hotel to- day at noon.
 MT. Anhalt is manager of the New York Players at the Capitol theater. His talk was similar to one he gave the kiWanis club a few weeks ago. He explained that there are more heartbreaks in the theatrical busi- ness than any other business with which he is familiar. He illustrated his statement by telling of plays which were misjudged by the Broad way critics. One play, WAS offered to one producer after another only to be refused. Finally it was pro- duced by the author and made over q million and a half dollars. An other play was praised to the skies by the critics and it's producer lost s35,000 on it.
 Explaining his statement that there are no great actors today, he stage like Sarah Bernhardt or Sir Henry Irving. He referred to Mrs. Fiske as one Of the greatest living actresses. John Gilbert was a splendid actor in the Big Parade, but the success went to his head and he lost his status, Anhalt intimated.
 The person living today who is the nearest to being great is Ethel Barrymore. he explained.
 He characterized David Warfeld as the greatest actor since Edwin Booth. Warfield one time tried 10 sell his motion picture interests, feeling they were not worth much to him. There was no market and he did not get rid of them. Later he sold out for $7,5e0,000.
 Temperament among actors and actresses was characterized by Mr. Anhalt as generally temper and a nasty disposition.
 He referred to the picture now showing at the Strand, which fea- lures Marie Dressler. as one in which the personality and the ability of the actor sticks out. Ma rie Dressler, famous for clown parts, now is giving the most con- sistent dramatic presentation I ever saw" he said.
 He characterized Lew Stone as the finest actor on the screen. Some of the best actors in the silent mov- ies just weren't there at all when they put words in their mouths, the manager stated.
 Stating that unreasona ble de- mands by the stage hands and mu- sicians' unions were responsible for he high cost of plays in New York. he said, another actors union, the Actors Equity association, was the fairest organization he knew of. It protects the actor against the un- scrupulous manager, and the man ager against the unreliable and drunken actor. A well known ac- tress was barred from the stage for a year because she became drunk in the second act of her play, The penalty was imposed by her own association.
 Asked by Rev. k. \. Gilman if Shakespearean plays ever will come back" he replied that ''Ihey have never left us. When We find q really great actor we will ee more of them"
 Scott Brothers of the Y. NJ, c. A. senior leaders corps entertained with acrobatics. John J. Crean play ed the piano.
 Announcement was made that Robert Patterson has been elected vice president of the club. | The income derived from tolls,
