Spike a Cangster


"Our subject was a gangster,
which seems to be the main
subject Of the present day. Spike
lived for his shopping, and he
always visited the stores by his
lonesome. He loved to walk into
stores and spend hours at the
counters without feeling that his
bodyguards were getting restless
and suspicious enough to draw
at the first customer who stood
too long beside him.
well, to make a long story a
little longer, Spike was about to
entrain for Saratoga one sea-
son for q session with the
ponies. On the morning of his
departure he went on one Of
his customary shopping tours.
He stood on a corner and pur-
chased a paper. A headline
met his eye.
"'City to Clean Up it read.
'O'Donnell, Head Of Detectives,
To Round Up All Well-Known
Gunmen.'
Spike laughed. This meant
very little to him. He would
be Saratoga-bound before any
body so much as noticed him.
If his bodyguard was along,
there was a chance he might
be nabbed. Since he was alone,
however, there was nothing to
fear.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Aug. g.
No modern stories available, Para

Marlene Dietrich's next vehicle.
Josef Won Sternberg, director
and mentor of the German &C
tress, is preparing a treatment Of
Mana" Emil Zola's study Of a
woman with a fatal attraction for
men.
While this would be Miss Die
trich'S first portrayal of a classic
heroine, Greta Garbo already has
two to her credit. She starred
in film versions Of Tolstoy'S
Anna Karenina" and of Daudet's
"Sapho." The latter became I'm

Mana" is the story Of a
Partisan actress of such allure
that men commit suicide over her.
Love becomes her fate. Eventual
ly, it also leads her to a tragic
death.
AS Zola writes it, the story is
highly cenSorable. But SO was
"Sappho." Intelligent adaptation
should be able to overcome the
difficulty, and with these novels
acceptably filmed, it should not
be too long a time before Flau-
bert's Madame Bovary" and
"Gautier's Mile. de Maupin" find
their way to the screen.

hurlesque Of the promotion meth
DDS adopted by the hippodromic
types Of evangelists and a rather
stirring but futile effort to pump
an atmosphere Of faith into an
essentially commonplace narrative.
The girl, turned revivalist, falls
into all sorts of Sordid Shams

commended particularly to those
who are interested in the progress
that Barbara Stanwyk is making

subject we are not left in doubt.

TORONTO, Ont, July 1o.-With
four United States stars included
among the five leaders, the interna-

Walter Hagen and Tommy Ar

with So strokes, while trailing them
was Johnny Farrell of New York

Hagen from turning in an .excep-
