In her skull. She was in a critical
condition today.
The other girl, believed to be her
sister. said she was Ruth Saunders,
%, Kansas City, but each gave differ

were uncertain of their identities.
The second gunman. listed here as
Clarence Saunders of Kansas CITY, was
suspected by police of that city as
being Charles Arthur Floyd a pal of

Staying of wallace and william Ash.
The Ash brothers were believed to have

by spending large sums of money and
Chief Galliher and Castner stopped at

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, April II (N.A.
N.A).-When all the present plans for

down the street, walk into a cinema
and In no time turn back the clock ten
years.
Mae Marsh will be playing In "Over

dozen years of retirement in Flintridge
with her three children, the eldest of
whom is / years old.
And Pola Negri will be once again
enchanting the world as she did of
yore. That is, If Pola clicks when the
new methods are applied. Pola Negri
was purely an artist of silent films, and
there are microphone quirks to over
come and accents to be dealt with.
Also, one will be able to attend the
Mata Hsri story on almost any corner,
because 1t is the theme chosen for La
Negri-the theme (camouflaged) in
"Dishonored" with Marlene Dietrich,
and the theme Of one Of Greta CARLOS

cepted Georgian prince at that time
for what Georgian prince was worth
in her estimation. Her estimate
seems to rate title in this country rs
"any one who owned herd of dozen
goats or So" Along came another-and
more alluring suitor. Perhaps Valen-
tino. And Pola let Prince M'Divani slip
through her fingers. Like nothing
at all
Then Mae Murray became the Prin-

her concern, that the press took the

GERMAN CAPTAIN
IS In CHICAGO
AFTER LONG HOP

CHICAGO, Sept. 8. U.P) Cap
tain Wolfgang Won Gronau of Ger
many took a much needed rest yes
terda after completing his second
airplane flight from his home coun-
try to Chicago.
Captain Won Gronau and his
crew OF three men landed their
odd looking, trim motored, Dornier
flying boat in Lake Michigan, off
Grant Park, Tuesday night after a
600 mile flight from Long Lake, Ont.
The famous Germans second trip
to Chicago was completed almost
a year to the day after his first.
1t made him the only man ever
to fly twice from Germany to this
city. A year ago he won the dis
tinction of being one of the few
aviators ever to fly across the At
lantic from east to west. Now he
has done it two times.
The Germans second trip to Chi
cago was, he explained, on the ma
ture of an expedition. He travelled
almost the same route that Parker
Cramer, American aviator, was fol-
loving when he disappeared last
month. He came by way of Green
land, Iceland and Canada. Last
year his route brought him here
by way of New York.

COURTING THE MUSES.

TEN years ago two Englishmen wrote a
book, Under the Brutchstone." For
whole decade they tried without sue
cess to find market for it, nine publish
ers rejecting it. Now it has been pub
lished, more than $4,000 copies have been
sold in England, and an American edition
is being published this fall.
But for Jonathan Denwood, one of the
two authors, the good news has come too
late. He is dying, and he told friend
recently:
Il am so i'll now that | cannot enjoy
the luck or success that has come so sud-
denly While my book was kicked from
publisher to publisher desperately
needed money for the skilled medical at
tention which is now too late. If 100000
copies were sold it would make no diff
ference"
In the long history of the arts this tale
has been repeated many times. Poe saw
his girl-wife die and lacked even the
means to keep her warm in her last
hours since then his books have sold all
over the civilized world. CeZanne could
hardly give his paintings away while he
lived; now each canvas is worth thou
sands. Whitman's friends had to help
support him in his old age; Leaves of
Grass" today sells infinitely better than
it did in his lifetime.
Clearly, then, the man who tries to
earn his bread by following one of the
arts is counting many risks. The one
consolation is that the artists chief
reward is never a thing that can be meas
ured in dollars.
To be sure, the artist suffers from pow
erty quite as much as anyone else But

German Picture
Business Is Out
OF Slack Times

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. U.p)
For the first time in many years
Germany has reached favorable
trade balance in her motion picture
industry the commerce department
has been informed.
Motion picture film statistics for
1890, published by the official Ger
man statistical bureau, reveal ex-
ports were approximately five times
as large as imports.
Film exports during the past year
amounted to S3,600,000 and imports
to $4,000, leaving favorable trade
balance of $2,880000. The German
trade press believes this development
expresses the success of the domes-
tic film in satisfying home require
ments since the advent of the talk
ing pictures.
