Seaside Enjoys
Gala Weekend

The immense parking field at
Seaside Park, Chesapeake Beach,
was nearly filled to capacity
yesterday with thousands of cars
OF Washingtonians who sought
to escape the terrific heat by a
trip to the beach, where the
temperature is at least 20 degrees
cooler.
It was a gala Sunday at Sea-
side. The salt water bathing pool
was alive with batherS from early
morning until late at night.
Dorothy Skinner, popular +
Washington soprano, one of
Edith Reeds entertainers, de
lighted the crowd in the board
walk ballroom last night with
her song numbers. Bernie Jarboe
and his NitehaWks Orchestra
played for the dancers until mid,
night.

opening night of his first Wash

Pemberton play at the National
Theater, the critics all went to
see Leslie Howard in Berkeley

missed Actor Brent, who had a
small role in a play that died
shortly after.

Stands Inspection

So many of the Hollywood
nobility are a disappointment in
the closeup of a tete-a-tete it is
a pleasure to report that Loretta
Young is an exception. A lovely
blonde on the screen and whole
some looking, she more than lives
up to screen promise under direct
scrutiny. She has had more
good luck than bad. breaks in
Hollywood and so she's pretty
grateful to Warner Brothers, who
keep her constantly busy. An
impulsive marriage was one mis-
take but she's plenty young
enough to try again, although
she'll tell you she is through with
matrimony. And as the screen
writer says who can't think OF
anything else, "Oh yeah"
These stars live at the Shore
ham. They haven't got the auto
running time between the Million
Dollar Bridge and the Earle down
to a split second yet. This Satur-
day Guy Wonders and Bill Ewing
at 1:15 p. m. were worrying. No
stars in sight. They arrived at
1920, 10 minutes before going on
the stage. BY hurrying a bit
everybody was happy.
Their one-act sketch "The
Honeymoon" is dramatic
Souffle. It's just sufficient to
introduce two popular players
and crafty fan curiosity. They
play it neatly and the encore
speech permits them to send in
a plug for Warren William and
Bette Davis, who will be here
Friday. My suggestion for future
engagements is wire ahead and
have the stage honeymoon suite
more in the mood. A proper set
ting is a great aid to illusion,
both for audience and players.

Got the Breaks

About Hollywood. OF course,
he's had some great breaks. The
thing is when your opportunity
comes you must have the goods
to deliver. Otherwise breaks"
don't mean a thing. His asSo-
citation with Ruth Chatterton in
Rich Are Always With U.s. sky
rocketed him to prominent at
tention. Metro-Goldwyn wanted
to borrow him right away for
a lead with Greta Garbo in "As
You Desire Me-" And R-K-O-
Radio also sought the loan of a
talked about actor to play the
lead with Constance Bennett in
What Price Hollywood" But
Warner Brothers were wise
enough not to swap an ace for
a check and weaken winning
hand. So Barbara Stanwyck got
him.
He has completed another pic
ture opposite Ruth Chatterton
which is awaiting release. It
will probably be called THE
Crash" and everybody has high
hopes for it. Since he has
announced he is going to marry
Ruth Chatterton as soon as
necessary legal restrictions have
been removed that subject was
passed as a topic of discussion.
But it seems like an alliance that
ought to spell happiness. She has
intelligence, beauty, screen reputa-
ton, money and a deep seated
affection for the stage and it's
people. She has had Broadway
triumphs and bumps. Hollywood

All Ina Day
By
MARK HElLINCER

NEW YORK, July 49,
From the time that Jerry small kid, he recog-
nized a born fxer He wasn't particularly clever1
and nobody would him of being too brilliant.
But there peculiar twist in his mind that enabled
him to extraordinary gobetween If he set his
mind to it, there very little that he couldn't fxfOr
a suitable consideration.
In school, the teacher would have unhesitatngy told
you that Jerry of the best boys in the class She
really believed it and you couldn't have blamed her. For
whenever any minor service needed Jerry always

chances gone. If the deal went
to Little Joe, he could expect
the same treatment from the
other outfit. And what good
would 100000 be in such a
case as that?
For the first time in his ca
reer, then, the great fixer was
plenty Stumped. There was no
one to whom he could turn
now; no one to whom he might
appeal. A powerful danger was
close at hand and it couldn't
be avoided by any of the ordi-
nary methods. This was one
occasion when he would have
to fix himself.
And he did. He thought long
and carefully-and he finally
reached a decision. He would
leave town for some six months
or so without giving either Big
Jim or Little Joe any satisfac-
ton.
So he packed his luggage
and fled.
Some seven months elapsed
when Jerry returned to the city.
Little Joe had been knocked off
some five weeks previously, and
Big Jim was now in command.
Jerry registered at his favorite
hotel and was whistling in his
bath when the phone rang.
He Gets a Threat
A nervous voice gave him
terrible news. 1t didn't make
any difference who it was. said
the voice; it was just a friend
for whom Jerry had once done
a good deed. Jerry had better
leave town again-at once. Big
Jim had sworn to have him
killed for taking a run-out, and
the fixer was plenty on the
spot. The voice stopped. The
phoned clicked.
Jerry's eyes almost popped
from his head and his heart
was humping wildly-but the
old brain was still on the job.
There was but one way out of
this difficulty, and that was to
be arrested for something at
once. AS soon as he was in the
police station, he'd be safe. And
he would then have himself
secretly released so that he
could catch another train from
the city.
He leaped into his clothes
and raced into the lobby. In a
loud voice, he began to argue
with the clerk. Soon a patrol
man came in, and Jerry de-
manded that he be arrested.
The patrolman recognized the
fixer Immediately and drew
Jerry to one side.
II can't arrest you, jerry" he
muttered. MY God, man, the
boss would give me a beat in
China. Just go ahead along
and I'll fix the clerk"
Wrong Decision
Jerry almost wept to be ar
rested. He pleaded and begged,
but to no avail. The policeman
had a wife and kids, and he
wasn't taking any chances.
More, he intimated that Jerry
was a little drunk-and that
the fixer would thank him on
another day.
Jerry Strengthened. No use
arguing further with this boob;
he was only wasting time. The
danger was real and very close
at hand. He'd have to chance
a cab ride alone to the nearest
police station. That was his
only salvation.
The decision turned out to be
a fatal mistake. The moment
he stepped from the hotel lobby
into the street, hail of bullets
greeted him from a nearby
limousine. He probably died
before he hit the ground.
Not because he had failed as
a fixer-but because he had
been too good!

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, July 18.
Upholding 1925 reputation as a
year of upSetS, Fox will not re-

will go to Warmers to play in

All he needs now, concludes
Fox, is for the pubic to become
better acquainted with him. And
they intend to accomplish this
by casting him opposite we'll

father was former Admiral Kirk

naval officer whom Kaiser Will

studded snuff box. Mr.. Kirkland's
mother now wears these dia-
mOndS in a necklace.
The young actor has some un-
usual ideas. He wants to retire
at 30-four years from now-and
some day he hopes to conduct
an extraordinary experiment in
embarrassing.
His plan is to take five or six
children to a ranch, surround
them with good books and music,
but let them grow up without
enforced direction of their minds.

HAY PRODUCTION AND
GRADING

A series of meetings, one of the
main purposes of which will be the
discussion of high grades and
methods of producing good crops
of high quality hay will be held
through the eastern Washington
hay producing sections. A meet
ing of this nature will be held on
the afternoon of November Is, at
Kennewick and on the forenoon of
November 16 at either White
Bluffs or Prosser, depending upon
where the meeting is held in the
lower Yakima county.
These meetings will be under
the direction of the extension SER
vice. D. d. Hill of the US. Depart
ment of Agriculture will be pres
ent to assist in the hay grading
work. The meeting will be held at
some place where quite a little hay
will be available Farmers attend
ing the meeting are requested TO
bring to the meeting samples of
hay in order to bring to the indiv-
iduel farmer the best information
as to the grades. Farmers should
not hesitate at all to bring in a
fair sample from his farm. Mr..
Hill will grade this and explain to
the grower just why it grades as
it does at the same time point out
how the grade might have been
improved.
The other part of the meeting
will be discussion on better meth
DDS of putting up hay so to inn
prove the grade and better prac-
tices in the growing of high yields
of good hay This part of the
meeting will be under the direction
of Fl. P. Singleton of the Irriga-
ton Branch Station, and E. G.
Durdle, county agent. We want
very much however, to have farm
ers come to this meeting ready to
pass on any information which
they may have as to practices in
growing or putting up of hay,
which insures good quality.
Definite dates and places of
meeting will be announced a little
later.
