DRESSLER
ON, OFF SET
Isl PERSONS
BY DAN THOMAS
l. Service Writer

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. IT, Th,-e
are two Marie DreSSlers in moviana
one famous the world over, the
other known by only a small group
OF people.
"Cerlafiy I thipk acting is q fine
professionally it's my whole lfe,'
declares Miss DresSler number one.
I'm glad you like those Grapes,
] made them myself" says Miss
Dressler 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 een 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
Grapes, reads, writes letters and
plays bridge with q few close
friends. She is one OF the film COL
onys 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 q 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.
II Is Marie number one who
delves into grease paint and per-
spires under glaring studio lights
all day long IN order TO buy the
simple luxuries which her other
self enjoys so greatly. And she
loves doing It. It has been her life
for 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
me- actress but a tired middle-aged
woman who desires only comfort
and the congenial compar snShip
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 so 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 10 do. But there have
been times-many OF them-when
the sailing has been pretty rou-h.

LESLIE TAX STAND
Directions Against Calling
Special Session for
Law Revision.

Directors of the Chamber of Com

phatic" support to Governor Harry
G. LeSlies stand against calling a
special session of the legislature to
revise Indiana tax laws.
The resolution, adopted by lead
ers of the chamber late Thursday,
stated their stand that a special ses-
sion would cause uncertainty and
result in a detriment to Indiana
business.
There is agitation among some
groups in the state for the calling
of a special session Of the legiSla-
ture to make changes in the tax
laws of the state" the resolution
read.
Whereas, there is no assurance
whatever that the legislature could
agree upon a program of revision
and, on the contrary, it was unable
to agree less than a year ago in
regular session, we believe calling
of the legislature at this time would
cause great uncertainty and detri-
ment to the business of this state
and seriously retard business recov-
cry.

examination.
Peaches is suing Daddy for an
absolute divorce. She is charging
him with misconduct during nu-
merous automobile rides with two
young and pretty blends.
Browning testified Thursday that
the subject of dietetics occupied him
and his three companions while
they rode about in a robins egg

"Were both young ladies suffer-

manded Cohalen.

Books-they were very we'll read.

about. Why, these girls were just

forward, glared at his torturer,
shouted belligerently: "And you nor
no one else will dispute my mother
with me-"
Cohalen did not dispute. Instead
he asked: did you ever talk to
these young ladies about their
bodies?"
Daddy shook with rage. His face
Redeemed, he became tense, he sput-
tered: That's a dirty thought. Why
don't you come out and say what
you mean? I have clean mind"
Cohalen asked Browning if it
would be possible for person in a
passing car to see a girl sitting on
mans lap in the interior of the
Rolls Royce.
He's Not Authority
"Im not a good authority on lap
sitting" said Daddy.
isn't it fact that your car was
especially built for lap-sitting?" de-
manded Cohalen.
Daddy shouted: Absolutely not.
MY mind isn't built that way"
Peaches was sitting in the rear
of the courtroom.
The situation probably will be re-
versed this afternoon when Peaches
testif1es. Browning's attorney plans
to question her on the source of
