DUNLAvEY HEADS FORESTERS DELEGATI0NE
CLARA BOW COULD STAND NO MORE
 AND HAS BROKEN
Attacks on Her Character and OverwOrk Finally Ended Her Stage Career for Present

Hollywood, May 6.-UP).-The ordeal of court appearances, attacks upon her character and overwork were blamed to-day for the collapse of Clara Bow, red-haired film ac- tres, who was nj Glendale Sanitarium facing six months of inactivity. Miss Bow collapsed Sunday night at her Beverly Hills home and was ordered to the sanitarium for an indefinite rest by her physicians, Dr. Wesley Hommel and Dr. Victor Parkin. At least six months of rest after leaving the sanitarium has been prescribed for the actress by Dr. Parkin. He denied that she was in any imme- diate danger.
 Miss Bow within recent months appeared in court to prosecute her former secretary, Daisy De Voc, on charges of grand theft. No sooner was that case out of the headlines, than Frederic A. Cirnau, publisher of a weekly periodical. printed series of sensational articles on the Love Life' of the actress. Girnau faces trial on a federal indictment charging hmi with sending obscene matter through the mails as a re- suit of the articles. Last fall, Miss Bow gained other unwanted pub licity when she stopped payment on $13,000 in checks given for asserted gambling debts incurred at Calneva, Nev.
 Officials at Paramoun tstudios an- nounced to-day that Miss Bows ca reer would not be terminated by her breakdown. She has two more pictures to make under her present contract and then an option on her services may be. taken up, they said. Miss Bow was ready to start wort, on a picture, "The Secret Call" when she was stricken. Peggy shannon, New York actress. has been given the leading role with Richard Arlen so as not to delay the production. The actress was not permitted visitors at the sanitarium under orders of Dr. Parkin, who is a psychiatrist and expert on nervous diseases. Absolute quiet is the only means of restor- ing her health, he said.

 The bonds must be redeemed in twenty years, according to the pro- visions of the act authorizing the sale of the bonds. The First Ma tional Bank of Boston, through which Waterbury bonds are cleared, will handle the issue bought by the Griggs company.
