HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Feb. 16.
A last-minute break gave Marion
Marsh chance at film fame, and
now, at John Barrymore's request,
she is to play opposite him for
the second time in THE Genius" :"
A pretty blonde, with sweet ex-
preston, Marion was clubbing
along at Warmers almost unno-
ticed when she got chance to ap-
pear in the local stage version of
Young Sinners" When the re-
views came out the next morning,
Warmers suddenly realized they
had been overlooking a possible
star.
No sooner was the run Of the
play ended than she found herself
on the way to stardom. After
hundreds of other actresses had
been tested, Warmers decided to
cast her as Trilby in "Svengali," "
and, even though the old melo-
drama has been altered to make
it a starring vehicle for Barry
more, the part is an important
one.
Barrymore's request that she
continue on with him in The
Genius" is the best answer as to
her ability. She has arrived.
He Was Wise
Lou Anger's favorite story is
about the timid little Jew who
was being cross-examined during
a murder trial.
Where were you on the night
of February 14?" thundered the
prosecuting attorney.
Fairly bouncing to his feet the
defense counsel objected to this
as irrelevant because the murder
had been committed on the
twenty-first.
Il know" said the little Jew,
"but let me answer"
The prosecutor was quick to
seize the opening. Your honor" !"
he cried, I'VE expect to show that
a conversation which took place
on the night of the fourteenth
led up to the murder"
Before his fuming counsel could
object. the little Jew again said:
LET me answer"
There was a momentary pause,
and then the judge granted per-
mission, Repeat the question, :"
he instructed.
After listening to it with care,
the little Jew looked up and shook
his head. Il don't remember"

POLICE DOUBT
MRS. CEILINGS
MURDER TALE

HUNTINGTON, ". Y. Sept. IT.
R)-Convinced that Benjamin p.
Ceilings was slain before being
thrown overheard from his yach..
Distric. Attorney Alexander Blue Of
Suffolk county. called a coroner's
inquest for this afternoon.
An autopsy led Blue to believe that
Ceilings first met his death on his
Cruiser Penguin, then was bound
hand and foot and thrown into Long
Island Sound last Wednesday. His
body was washed up yesterday az
Lloyd's neck.
Skull Fractured.
Dr.. Otto Schulze OF Bellevue hos
pital found that Ceilings had ce-
ceived a fracture OF the skull, hay-
ing been hit on the forehead and
back by terrific" blows.
He was then bound so tightly tina;
ropes cut into his flesh. Mrs. Col
lings had told authorities she heard
her husband cry: They're tying me
and putting me overheard" She mas
insisted under repeated questioning
that two men boarded the yacht and
kidnapped and attacked her in a
small boat after drowning her hus-
band.
DR.. Schulze arranged TO have Col
ling's lungs examined by DR.. Alexan-
der o. Gettle-. New York toxicolo
gist.
Mr.. Blue said that Mrs. Ceilings
would not be called until tomorrow
for questioning.
Il cannot say whether her story
Is a deliberate fabrication or the
result OF a wandering mind" ne
added. "Her whole story IS OF the
most fantastic mature I sill do not
believe II in all re- s."
District Attorney Elvin N. Ed
wards Of Nassau county. who up 10
yesterday had taken charge OF the
case. only to lose Ii on grounds Of
jurisdiction to Mr.. Blue. said the
findings Of the body supported his
belief in Mrs. Ceilings story.

COUNTRY STORES
HOLD HIGH RATING
Small Retail Establishments
Ranked Fifth in Merchan-
disc Outlets.
BY CHARLES P. sHAEFFER,

The country store, with its familiar
cracker barrel. continues In the front
rank of American retail trade outlets
In fact, this type of merchandising
establishment is ranked Nth in i'm
portance by the census of distribution
OF the Commerce Department. II Is
exceeded only by grocery stores, grocery
stores with meat markets. department
stores and motor vehicle sales and
service centers. Sales in 1929. latest
census period. amounted to approx
mately $4,000, 900, 900.
The bureau established that more
than half, or So per cent. of the people
OF the Nation are found to be residents
OF areas served by retail establishments
located in cities of less than 10
population. In these towns are located
40 per cent of the l ,549,l8S retailers.
There are 1888 general stores locat-
ed in smaller cities, towns and omen
country, and their sales represent about
A per cent Of the entire retail trade
of the country.
The percentage Of total retail sales
represented by sales of general stores
In various States ranges from less than
] per cent in areas like New Jersey,

EMPLOYE SUBSCRIPTION
TO STOCK HELPFUL

The object of employee stock-sub-
scription plans are really two-fold. They
are designed to promote better rela-
tionship between capital and labor ana
to promote thrift on the part OF en-
ployes. Have they failed? The en-
ployes. says the Magazine Of Wall
Street of the New York Central were
offered stock at 100, the employees OF
the Pennsylvania at SO, the employees OF
the American Telephone & Telegraph
Co. at 1870 and $50, and the employees
of the International Telephone q Tele-
graph and the United States Steel Cor
poration at so and lao, respectively. In
every instance the present market price
of the company's stock fell below the
employees subscription price. But also
in each of these instances the employees
have the right to withdraw their de-
posts with interest and many OF them
must have done so.
Does this constitute failure? On the
face of it the answer Is yes, but 1T must
be remembered that the mere break
down of the various plans has not pre-
vented the achievement Of their OBJ
iects. Indeed, in many years these
have been better furthered than had
the plans been successful. Thrift has
been encouraged and employees have lost
nothing. Nothing inimical to the rela-
tionship between capital and labor has
taken place. And above all labor has
learned very valuable lesson without
cost to itself.
It must surely realize by now that
the way of capital is not always smooth,
that the owner of a big business has his
troubles like every one else and 1t must
have learned also something Of what 1t
means to have dividends reduced, the
magazine concludes.
