Gilbert Turns Author
For "Comeback" Film
He Blames High Salary For Recent
Failures Wanted To Be Director

next appearance on the screen will
be in the role of a chauffeur =
not just INCORPORATING chauffeur.
but one who has occasion to vary
his duties by becoming a Don
Juan.
This sort of shuttles Jack back
into the ways of romance again.
Once more he will be the type of
character he was a few years ago
when the entire movie world was
at his feet and school girls pasted
his picture in their textbooks.
At least the part will give him
something to do, which is more
than can be said of those he has
had recently.
Wanted "Grand Hotel" Part
Jack was pretty much broken
up when John Barrymore was
handed the role of the Baron In
"Grand Hotel" Gilbert felt that he
was perfectly suited to this role
and that he deserved that much of
a break to help him along his
comeback trail. After reading
Wiki Baum's novel nearly everyone
felt that Gilbert was far more
suited to the part than Barrymore.
And it's a cinch the producers
couldn't have picked Barrymore
for his superior drawing power at
the box office. All of the Barry
more drawing power these days is
vested in brother Lionel.
He Makes Too Much Money
Perhaps, then, there is some
truth to the statement Jack made
to us down at Malibu last summer.
He said then that he knew his
biggest trouble was that he Is
getting too much money. Well, he
is getting quite q chunk of that
very useful commodity known as
money.
Thanks to one Mr. Harry Edding-
ton, who also has been responsible
for Gilbert's sensational success,
Jack still is getting ten thousand
of those iron men every Saturday.
And he has a million dollar trust
fund tucked away where nobody,
not even himself, can touch 1t.
He's Not Through Yet
Gilbert isn't through in pictures
yet by any means. His present
status can be laid partially at his
OWN door, largely at the oooT VI
studio executives. 1t just isn't
natural for man to put his best
into his work when he knows he
will get $4,000 a week regardless
of what he does.
And studio officials didn't want
to be put in the position Of giving
him that much money again.
But watch Gilbert step out now.
He has only two more pictures to
make under his present contract.
He knows he has to do something
worth while II he wants q new con-
tract at all. And studio bosses
know that no matter what happens
they will be able to sign him again
for a fair sum. SO both will start
working toward q common end -

Hollywood - John Gilbert is
getting tired of being .buffeted
around from pillar to post as it
were. So he has stepped out and
written his own story for his next
film. tentatively titled Down
stairs"
This. however, isn't really a new
story. It is one Jack has had in
mind for three or four years. At
the. time the story was conceived
Jack had ideas about giving up
the grease paint for a megaphone.

1t Is by means of radio that he is

One of the novelties of this pic
ture is the fact that William
Haines plays the role Of the con-
tinuity writer, 1t being the first
time that the popular young COM
edian has essayed a serious char
acterization on the screen. But 1t
will undoubtedly not be the last
time, for Haines proves himself
not little adept at straight char

whimsicalities and comedy tricks.

To End aCoueh
In Hurry, Mix
This at Home

To quickly end stubborn coughs due
to colds, it is important to soothe the
inhamed membranes, get rid of the
germs and also to aid the system in
wardly to help throw off the trouble.
For these purposes, here is home
made medicine, far better than anything
you could buy at 3 times the cost. From
any druggist, get 21a ounces of Pinex.
Pour this into a pint bottle, and add
plain granulated sugar syrup or strain
ed honey to fill up the pint. This takes
but moment, saves money, and makes
a remedy SO effective that you will never
do without, once you have used it.
Keeps perfectly, and children like it.
This simple remedy does three neces.
sary things. First, it loosens the germ
laden phlegm. Second, it soothes away
the inflammation. Third, it is absorbed
into the blood, where it acts directly
on the bronchial tubes. This explains
why it brings such quick relief, even
in the obstinate coughs which follow
cold epidemics.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of Norway Pine, containing the
active agent of creosote, in refined,
palatable form, and known as one of
the greatest medicinal agents for severe
coughs and bronchial irritations.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
1t is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

thoroughgoing reorganization,
while difficult to estimate ac-
curately, will be material,
amounting to many millions Of
dollars annually.
Not only will the Govern.
ment's business be conducted
more efficiently and economi.
cally but the great body of citi-
zenS who have business rela-
tions with their Government will
be relieved of the burden and
expense Of dealing with a null
titude of unnecessary and
sometimes widely separated pub
lie agencies.
Hits at Opposition
We may frankly admit the
practical difficulties Of such
reorganization. Not only do
different fractions of the Gov.
ernment fear such reorganiza-
tion, but many associations and
agencies throughout the coun.
try will be alarmed that the
particular function to which
they are devoted may in some
fashion be curtailed.
Proposals to the Congress of
detailed plans for the reorgan-
ization Of. the many different
bureaus and independent agen-
cies have always, proved in the
past to be signal for the
mobilization of opposition from
all quarters which has de-
Stroyed the possibility Of con-
Structive action.
There is little hope for sue
cess in this task unless it is
placed in the hands of someone
responsible for 1t, with au-
thority and direction to act.
Moreover, the conSummatien
of a comprehensive reorganiza-
ton at one moment is not
in the best public interest.
Such reorganization should be
undertaken gradually and sys-
tematically, predicated on a
sound and definite theory Of
government and effectuated as
the result of study and expe;:
rience gained in the actual
processes of reorganization.
His Recommendations
1 recommend, therefore, that
the Congress provide for:
(a) Consolidation and group
ing of the various executive

dation not now possible.
With the enormous growth OF
governmental business there
has been great expansion and
diffusion of authority amongst
minor officials
At the same time, there is
an insufficient number of Off
cials of definite and concen-
trated responsibility to the
public.
The additional expense OF
such officers over and above
the salaries now paid to Off
cials who would be displaced
would be less than $4,000 per
annum. The saving in cost Of
administration would be many
times this sum. The most i'm.
portant of the posts Of this
character are the following:
Public Works Administrator
(new office.
rsonnel Administrator
(change from chairman Of Civil
Service Commission
Assistant Secretary for Pub
lie Health (new).
Assistant Secretary for Edu-
cation (change from commits

Assistant Secretary for Mer-
chant Marine (neW office(.
Assistant Secretary for Con-
Servation (new office).
Assistant Secretary for Agri-
cultural Research (change from

Assistant Secretary for Agri-

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, June IT
The high cost of polo is wean
ing away many former Hollywood
enthusiasts.
OF interest are James GleaSon's
remarks on the subject:
Il haven't played polo in
three months. When / read in
in the. papers about all the deS-
titute veterans in Washington
and the poverty existing every
where, / do not think any one
individual has the right to
spend money this way.
IL still have my horses, be-
cause / can't sell them without
taking an enormous loss, but
they are on pasture and not
being used"
Gleason says the cost of a polo
pony ranges from $3.50 to $2,500
Counting the interest on the origi
nal investment and the price of
equipment, he figures the upkeep
Of horse in excess of 500 per
month. At least eight horses are
needed for the playing of the
game.
Another Hollywood poloist who
is abandoning the sport in Austin
Parker. He claims it is too ex.
pensive for the working man and
is selling his horses.
They would have you believe
that Eddie Cantor'S second daugh.
ter is chip off the block.
The other evening, William
