STUDY IS KEY TO SUCCESS,
 SAYS RICH FILM ACTRESS
By DAN THOMAS (NEA SerylCe Wrltprl

Hollywood. - About four years ego, one of Hoilywood's most prom lsing young actresses had her screea career suddenly interrupted when she was seriously injured in an au- tomobile accident. A year later. she went out to the old Mack Sennett lot to start all over again.
 To-day, this blond actress. Carole Lombard, is the possessor of a fat Paramount contract and is well on her way to sfardom. Three years of hard work resulted in Carole heinz Glven the leading feminine role opposite William Powell in "Ladies' Man" Although the film has not yet been previewed. 1t is that the young actress walks of with all honors. And when q girl steals a picture from Bill Powell, she Is doing some acting.
 "The only reason I can give for my success. If am Successful,( is that I have studied like the devil for the last three years" remarked Miss Lombard. "ff I had studied half as hard when I was in school, dent. In my opinion. there is al- ways something more that we can learn about this business. no mat ter how long We have been in it. And whenever an actor gets to the point where he thinks he doesn't have to study any longer. he's sunk right there."
 Car0ie recently came back from New York, where she made East and Loose" the picture Vhich re- suited in Paramount signing her to long term contract. She didn't even have a chance to get re-ac- auainted with her friends before being showed into Ladies Man." And the very day she finished that, she started work in another pro- duction. as yet untitled,
 Miss Lombard has one pet ann bition. which she refuses to dis close other than to say that it does not concern her career on the silver screen, However. don't he surprised If this young actress suddenly drops out of the limelight in about two years Having recently inherited a considerable sum of money. she doesn't have to work another day if she doesn't want to. And life to her holds Q great deal more than the hollow fame which comes to screen stars.

OUR DAILY NEWS LETTER
BY RALPH HEINZEN United Press Stan COrrcspOndcnt) )


 Paris-An Anti-Alcohol League of Railroad workers has been organ ized in Paris as safety first meas ure to reduce accidents to a mini mum. It already claims 1,000 mem- bers.
 M M. Beauchamps, an engineer of the French State railways, has been elected president, and he plans a vigorous campaign of education in : behalf of seIf-control and modera- . tion as regards liquor. He will aim his heavy artillery on spirituous beverages with a high alcoholic con- tent, while encouraging real tenn perance in wines and beer.
 There will be no attempt to dry up France, and neither religious, nor moral motives animate the league. Prohibition is not the aim. but there will be a definite effort to discour- age the use of hard liquor. and in consequence, 1t is hoped, to reduce the number of accidents. Recent French statistics show that alcohol ism is the chief cause of major rail- road accidents. and the league plans to combat this spirit.
 This league has received the ap- proval and practical support of the French State railways management. Orders have been issued that rail- way workers who develop alcoholism must be discharged.
 Among the object of the league is the popularization of nOn-spirit- uous beverages. such as grape juice, sweet cider, milk, ginger ale and lemonade. Most of its members are total abstainers. but the temperate use of wine and beer is permissible.

CHARLIE RUGGLES A RIOT AS THE AUNT FROM BRAZIL, IN "CHARI,IE'S AUNI~ AT
 WARNER BROS. STATE NOW

Charlie RuggIes hit the high spot of his career in "Charley's Aunt" the Columbia laugh riot, produced by Christie, which opened at the Warner Bros. State theater for 0 three days run this afternoon. This comedy of life at Oxford university offers the inimita ble comedian limit less opportunities for fun making of which he takes every advantage. The could possibly sit through this per formance without having his funny bone tickled--and Ruggles is the central figure every time.
 England is the locale and the heroes are a couple of Oxford stu dents Jack Chesney and Charley Wykeham, who invent ways and means to win the two girls of their choice. In order to do this, they have to outwit old man Spettigue. the girls guardian. When "Charley's Aunt" the wealthy Brazilian widow, Donna Lucia D'Alvadorez, cables that she is about to arrive for visit. the boys breathe more easily and invite the girls to luncheon to meet her. Donna Lucia fails to arrive on scheduled time and "Babbs." a fell low college student, Is pressed into service to impersOnate the chaperon The absurd mix-up that follows, which is further involved by the arr rival of the real Donna Lucia, sup plies the rest of the action for this irresistible farce.
 Charlie Ruggles plays "Babbs," and his antics in the disguise of Donna Lucia are the basis of most of the fun. The supporting cast is uniformly good, with special honors going to Rodney McLennon and Hugh Williams who play Charlie Wykeham and Jack Chesney respec- lively. Charming Doris Lloyd intro- duces a not of distinction in the role of the real Donna Lucia. Others who deserve mention are June Collyer. who gives a charming performance and looks her usual attractive self.

Violet Heming, beautiful guest star

pany at the Moore theater this week
and next, opens Sunday evening in the
sophisticated and audacious New York
production Ladies All". in which she
was recently starred on Broadway.
This play, while not particularly Of
the shock type, is not exactly re-
commended for children. 1t is both
drama and comedy of the subtle and
sophisticated variety, written by Elmer
Harris in somewhat the style of the
more prominent French writers.
cleverly written from beginning to
end, the play is story about young
woman named Nancy" who is an
artist and who has established herself
in studio where she makes statuary.
With her are her maid and a young
woman guest.
Enters Bob" an admitted roue who
is in continual pursuit of Nancy" or
any other young woman who happens
to strike his fancy. All three of the
young women are rather fond OF
Bob but he favors Nancy" He
stays in the apartment the entire
night and some time between mid
night and morning one of the young
women enters his room.
This happens in the first act and
from there on Bob" sets out to dis
cover the identity of his Nocturnal visi-
tor with the avowed intention of max
ing her his wife whether she be host
ess, guest or maid. In his guest for
identity there are both dramatic and
comic situations galors.
Miss Heming has endeared herself
to Seattle audiences the past week
with her presentation of This Thing
Called Love" and it will be with regret
that patrons will see her for the last
time in Ladies ALL" her farewell pro-
duction.
Her winning performance, her
pleasant memories Of this beautiful
young star who returns to New York

The next star to be presented by

be Miss Edith Talisaferro, who will
offer two new dramas. ad.
