Hard luck continues to follow
Mary Nolan.
Due to story changes and q
delayed starting date on the pic
ture, it is likely that she will not
get the feminine lead in 'Ex-

This is the Warner film, for
which the blonde star gave up
q role in Universal's "Boudoir
Diplomat" Since then. Warmers
have rewritten the story SO that
II calls for q different type. Even
so, Mary might have been re-
tanned but for the fact that
Universal isn't willing for her to
remain idle while "Ex-MistreSs
is being worked into final screen
shape.
The only other player affected
by the delay is Ben Lyon, the
leading man. Roy Del Ruth, the
director, is under long-term con-
tract to Warmers.

drama and musical comedy. Now
the argument is reversed. Too

as soon as the Metro Goldwyn
lease expires.

seat Colony Theater, will turn it
over to the stage. In prepara-
ton for the change he has
bought property in the rear of

1t will be Lenore Uric who will
have the distinction of open

porting role in the drama. The

miere which occurs two weeks

Miss Uric appears this season
under the management Of Lewis
e, Gensler, the producer who is
sponsoring Joe Cooks new mu-
sical comedy, Fine and Dandy"
It marks her washington debut
as star under other than the
David Belasco management. Her
last Belasco play was Nina" q
spectacular Ferenc Molnar play
for which the venerable David
remodeled his own theater. Tt
was too costly a production to
take on the road.
Then Miss Uric married and
went to the movies. where she was
unsuccessful in catching up with
the right screen role. She broke
with Belasco shortly after her mar
riage but the cause of the breach
has never been made public. It
is a wellknown fact that David
Belasco prefers his women stars
avoid matrimony.

Il like the additional DRIVE in ESQ"
says ALMA Won STEINER
Noted Washington Sposwoman

Driving her own car in and around Wash.
ineton almost every day, Mrs. Won Steiner
knows from actual experience that all gaso.
lines are not alike. She knows that some are
more powerful than others and thus make
driving easier and safer.
That's why she says: II like the additional
bOwer and drive in ESSO-and it's so sure and
steady that it giveS me the feeling of utmost con-
fdence, even in the wOrSt of Washington traffic.
And that's one of the reasons ESQ is the most
popular motor fuel sold in Washington among
women and men alike, as shown in recent
impartial traffic check. Another reason is that
ESQ gives no knocks. Its base stock is low in
knock.rating, even before Ethyl fluid is added
to IGt the refinery.
Test ESQ against the gasoline you are using
now. Let one tankful prove to you that ESSO's
extra, silent power means greater safety in
today's crowded trafic-and better perform.

NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario, July T.
The body of George Stathakis, Buffalo
Greek chef who suffocated in a barrel
in which he shot the Horseshoe Falls
was at an undertaker's today awaiting
claimants.
In sealed casket of oak, reinforced
with steel, he took the plunge Saturday
afternoon. He carried oxygen sufficient
for three hours. The cask was recov-
cred some l6 hours later, a bit bat
tered and leaky Stathakis was still
strapped to a mattress he designed as a
buffer. An old turtle-sacred, he called
(which he carried with him, was
alive. No injuries were apparent
Coroner W. w. Thompson expressed
the belief that Stathakis had lived six
hours.
The journey from the cascades.
through the rapids and over the Falls
occupied only 10 minutes Stathakis re-
ceived a severe battering in the rapids,
the craft being tossed high by the
turbulent current and hurtled over
rocks.
The barrel was not thrown clear, but
seemed to drop through the curtain be-
hind the Falls. There it was held for
hours. When it did appear it was five
hours before rivermen could catch it
and tow it ashore. 1t weighed ton.
StathakiS, who called himself a
philosopher and wrote treatise on
1.-THE Mysterious Veil of Humanity"
took along paper and pencil to record
his sensations, but did no writing in
the barrel.

IF technical science and technical
skill have been able to diminish the
physical distance which separates Eu-
rope from America it is perhaps still
more gratifying that the forces of good
