WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. U.Pl-
Mrs. Herbert Hoover's penchant for
"tinkering" is responsible for her
latest exploit-a voice test for the

her recorded voice do not indicate
that her voice is an inferior one
for the talkies or the radio. The
complete version is somewhat ike
this:
Last spring Mrs. Hoover spoke

was considered by experts to be

I am a little perplexed as to
whether this should be filed un-
der the head of comedy or
tragedy. But one of the stages
eminent male stars whose lustre
has been dimmed with the years
last summer decided on a face
lifting process. The idea was to
eradicate lines and make less
evident the tell-tale touch Of
Father Time.
Well he passed through the
beautifying ordeal and actually
looked ten years younger. The
fly in the ointment is that the
actor always noted for intelligent
expression now has a wooden
countenance. He has just closed
in a play wherein he was uni
versally panned by critics as a
mime who spoke lines without
expressing them usually. The
tragedy Of it is, with his new
face he can't laugh: He has be-
come what the profession calls
a dead pan actor.
Imagine then his chagrin. For
thi- acter has not only reputation
but a dignity which has been
cultivated with the years.
