phasis on the young husband as on

Sally Eilers. remembered for her
recent colorful portrayals on Quick
Millions" and THE Black Camel
will be seen as the girl-bride hero
Inc in the title role. Her character
ization In this tensely humand and
deeply emotional role Is said easily
to eclipse anything she has done
before.

fall in love, rather too well than
wisely and are forced into a hur-
ried marriage. Then they find that

months form the basis OF the drama
that ensues. Minna Gombeil acts
the ever-present friend OF the young

NJ. DRESSER
ON, OFF SET
Isl PERSONS
BY DAN THOMAS
y Service Writer

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. H. The
are two Marie Dresslers in movia.la
-one famous the world over. the
other known by only a small group
Of people.
"CerIaSiiy ! thipk acting is a fine
PROFESSIONALLY it's my whole life
declares Miss Dressler number one.
I'm glad you like those Grapes,
J made them myself says Miss
DRESSER number two.
The first Miss DreSSler can be
found around the Metro-G oldwyn-
Mayer studio a good bit Of the
time. Or she might be seen at one
OF Hollywood'S gay premieres which
are fading out so rapidly-or max
ing a personal appearance with
one Of her pictures.
The second Miss Dressler's hang
out is a large and substantial red
brick house in Beverly Hills. There
she fuses around in her garden,
makes over her old dresses. makes
drapes, reads, writes letters and
plays bridge with a few close
friends. She is one Of the film col
ony's best bridge players.
A stranger in town would have
the red-brick house pointed out to
him as the home Of Marie DreSSler,
famous movie star. And in a sense
that Is correct-but only in a sense,
She owns the home. It was the
money she earned in pictures which
enabled her TO buy 1t. But 1t Is
Marie DreSsler number two who
lives there. Marie. you see. Is two
persons-one in the spotlight and
quite another out OF 1t.
1t Is Marie number one who
delves into grease paint and per-
spires under glaring studio lights
al day long IN order to buy the
simple Injuries which her other
self enjoys so greatly. And she
loves doing 1t. It has been her life
fer the last 40 years.
Were It not for the fact that her
appearance gives her away, you
never would know that the Marie
DreSsler you enjoyed so much at
home was the same woman you had
met previously in the studio. When
she drives out of the studio gate
after a days work, a decided change
comes over her. She no longer is
the actress but a tired middle-aged
woman who desires only comfort
and the congenial compar nship
OF a few friends.
There Is only one way in which
the two personalities found within
the Dressler body run parallel.
That is her humor and wit. Regard
less Of where she may be or what
she may be doing Marie never for
gets her sense OF humor. And she
invariably has a witty remark
waiting to pop out at any moment.
That is one OF the things which
make her 30 popular on and off the
screen. Throughout her nearly
three score years she has faced life
with a laugh. Right now that is
easy for her to do. But there have
been times-many OF them-when
the sailing has been pretty rourh,
although not rough enough TO ' L.
off that smile.

APPEAL
TO be MADE
BY ATTORNEY
Writ Keeps Gangster
From Pen Until
Case Finished

CHICAGO, Oct. 27-(Pl- The
United States circuit court Of
appeals today granted Alphonse
Capone a writ Of supersedeas but
denied him bail pending his appeal
on his conviction for evading in
come taxes.
The gangster must remain in the
Cook county jail under the courts
ruling.
Judge Samuel Alschuler read the
order and explained that it in no
way affected the II year sentence
and $4,000 fine imposed on Capone
By Judge James II. Wilkerson. The
result will be merely that the
marshal may not take Capone 70

him in custody in Chicago, until
his case is appealed.
Defense Attorney Michael Aherr
said he would leave for Washington
tonight to attempt 10 get one OF
the supreme court justices to grant
Capone bail. If this effort failed,
Ahern said. he would ask the
circuit court OF appeals TO vacate
its writ OF supersedeas so the
gangster could begin serving his
term at Leavenwo-th rather than
stay at the county jail. where he
does not get credit for the time
served.
