Man Who Confessed Caus-

CHICAGO, July 28.-Two policemen
sat before q cell In South Side lookup
last night, keeping constant vigil over a
father who confessed that while intoxi-
Gated last Friday night he fell upon and
fatally crushed his f1ve-month- baby
The father, Edward M. Johnson, 36,
wartime aviator and now employe in a
brokerage ONCE, had been left with the
baby while his wife was calling. Seeking
relief from the heat, he told police. he
mixed some alcohol and water and be-
came somewhat dazed. The baby cried,
he related, and, while walking the floor
with the infant, he stumbled and fell
upon it. At first he told authorities the
child had fallen from its crib.
Last night Johnston's brother visited
him at the Jail, where he sat silent and
staring at the floor. The brother con-
fessed fear that the prisoner would try
to take his life and asked for the guard
which was detailed.
A coroner's jury will hold an inquest
into the death today. Mrs. Johnston
was reported in a state Of collapse.

and not entirely because of
great war record. Actually, he
can deliver. Struggling yet
with the American idiom, I
think his advance in films has
been truly marvellous. What
movie star has more of that
magic and desirable quality
known as "personality?" AS
for the advertisers, they buy
and pay for established reputa-
ton plus quality. Try and sell
them anything else for $4,000.
jeanette Macdonald, to my
mind, is the musical comedy
find of motion pictures. Her
performance in The Love Pa
rade" lacks warmth and dis
closes a stiffness which I at
tribute to inexperience. But
she has looks, a figure worth
displaying and a prima donna
voice away above the average,
plus a definite knowledge o.
acting. Thank you for dis,
agreeing, Mr.. Belt, on a day
when real rewS is dull.
Marilyn Miller'S First National
contract, reported to call for
$500,000 for making four pic
lures, one a. year ever a four
year period has aroused Jay
Emanuel, a New York exhibit
tor, to voice a protest that
such publicity is what forces
the small theater' owner to
pay more for features since
it inspires lesser players to
make eXorbitant salary de-
mandS. This increase ir, pro-
duction expense is passed along
to exhibitors and presumably
to the public in higher <admis-
sion prices.
There are two sides to this
argument. Marilyn Miller
actually gets $4,000 a week or
choice of 10 per cent of the
gross receipts when she works
for Mr.. Ziegfeld in stage pro-
ductions. That isn't press agent
fiction but fact, She spent ap-
proXimately four months in
Hollywood making Sally" for
First National Pictures. for
which she is said to have re-
ceived $150,000 plus some allow
ance for expenses.
With Sally" finished Warner
Brothers can put 200 cans of
the celluloid Marilyn Miller on
the movie market and have the
blonde dancer working on an
average of six times a day in
200 theaters. This continues
indefinitely or for the life of
the feature. Such possibilities
for cumulative profit are what
led George M. Cohan to Holly
wood.
Actually then for the eight
performances a week which Mr..
Ziegfeld gets from Marilyn
Miller in the flesh he is paying
proportionately much more for
the stars service than is Holly
wood.
Vaudeville performers who
work in the talking shorts are
paid on an average OF four
times their weekly wage. Thus
an act which rates $500 a
week gets $4,000 for a Vita
phone short. And Eddie Cantor
by this fixed standard, can
command $4,000 for a few days
of frolicking on the Paramount
sound stages.
Really it comes to a question
of supply and demand. and
there are not Marilyn Millcrs
on every street corner.

GLEANINGs & SCREENINGS

More rumors of another first

This time it has Paramount
Pictures, or it's operating sub
Sldy, PubliX, erecting new
temple for the talking cellulolds
at the southwest corner of
Tenth and F. Streets. The drug
store corner. Other whispers
say the site will be on the
other side of F Street and op-
posite the Fox Theater. How
much truth there is in these
rumorS you may judge, but
they are passed along for what
they are worth.
Actually Paramount is not
shouting for joy over It's Wash
lngton lineup. The Paramount
product is divided between
Loew and Warner Brothers and
this arrangement is not what
the industry would call ideal"
from the producers standpoint.
There is, at the present time, no
Washington stage available for
PubliX stage shows, until re-
Gently shown at the Palace.
To add more seats to the
Washington firSt-run area would
seem from this observation post
to be creating another Brook

Word received from the
Fox Theater today that ten
sets of ear phones are to be
installed in the movie audi
torium for amplification of the
talking pictures from the screen.
These sets are for the use
of those with defective hearing
and will be furnished patrons
without extra cost upon ap-
plication to the management.
The installation Was made
at the direct suggestion of Mr..
William Fox and the number
will be increased should it be
necessary to meet the demand.
MY DEAR JUDGE:
In re: M. Chevalier,
AS of Thursdays Times:
JOlSon in America and Cha
Waller in France present in
comparable angles.
Ideals, standards of wit, of
humor, and of personal appeal
differ with the temperaments
of heterogeneous peoples. So
much for that-or these.
Now back to America and to
F Street.
Few could recall off-hand
just how long Al JolSon stayed
downtown in either of his
warbling and tear-jerking pic
lures, but you and the whole
family know Maurice won't
linger long-now or ever. A
second week-wcH, we might
possibly see him held over; he,
of course, or any actor or
actress, is costly to put in a
picture-the cast, the scenery,
