more stars from their picture as

Blonde Miriam Hopkins has
notified Paramou that she

issued similar def to Fox about
Face In The Sky"
Lending added piquancy to the
Hopkins situation is the fact that
her picture was to have been

aghast at the idea of a leading

play opposite M. G.. MS leading

supposed to do THE Billion Dol

Finally, Paramount let Columbia
have Nancy Carroll in return for
allowing Constance Cummings to
come over for the Rogers film.
It was all very complicated.
In Charlie Farrell's case, the
walkout occurred couple of days
ago, but it is just coming to light.
Again it was the complaint Of an
unsuitable role. Spencer Tracy.

NEW YORK, Nov. s.
Mrs. Brown very proud Of her son Bill. From the
time he small lad she would talk about him for hours
without end. Discussing her boy made Mrs. Brown
tremey happy, but it rather annoying to the neigh

about their offspring

childhood Bill did absolutely nothing to justify his mother

which he lost, one after anot
Easy Money
But that worried Bill not
one particle. For one of the
very few things that he had
absorbed at an early age was
that there were easier and
more pleasant ways of making
money than by working for it.
Mrs. Brown, of course, was
not aware that her son was
crooked. Even if she had been
Informed Of the fact, it is al
most certain that she would not
have believed it.
When Bill was 81. he de-
parted from home very sud-
denly. Although she missed
him sorely, his absence did
not make his mother unhappy.
She was glad, she declared,
that he had secured a good
steady job, even if it took him
out of town. Bills job was
steady all right. But that is
about all that could be said
in favor of it. He had been
caught, as was to be expected,
and for a period of IL months
or more was to be a guest OF
the State.
His mother excused his
failure to write to her with
an indulgent laugh. Boys, she
often told herself and her other
son Joe, weren't very good
hands at writing letters. Joe,
who knew the true nature Of
Bills whereabouts, looked very
solemn as she spoke. He shud-
dered at the thought Of what
would happen if his mother
were ever to learn the truth.
BY the time he had spent
few months in prison, things
began to look little different
to, Bill. For the first time in
his life he began to think
deeply. For the first time he
began to appreciate his mothers
love and devotion. His home,
which he had always considered
with scorn. appeared very
attractive as compared with
the bleak cell where he was
to remain for a year. He
sighed with envy as he thought
of the placid and normal lie
his brother Joe was leading.
Slow Reformation
Bills reformation did not
come about suddenly. Slowly
he began to realize that he
hadn't been quite as smart as
he had once believed. Then
one day came letter from
Joe which brought him to MS
senses entirely.
Their mother, Joe wrote, hao
been in an accident. The OIL
stove in the kitchen had ex'
ploded and she had been badly
hurt. She spoke of Bill con-
tinually. She wanted very
much to see him. Joe wished
that there was some way that
1t could be arranged.
Bill was sincerely distressed
when he received his brothers
letter. From that moment on
he was a changed man. He
spent long hours worrying
about his mother. Finally, he
wrote back in a very unhappy
vein.
Joe, he instructed, was to try
and pacify nom. To tell her
that Bill had sent his love,
that he was thinking Of her
constantly, and that he would
be home just as soon as pos
sible. And, most important OF
all, he insisted, she was not to
receive the slightest inkling as
to where he was.
There followed weeks OF
anxiety for Bill. Then another
letter came from Joe. This
one was even more disturbing
than the first.
The Washington times., 1932-11-08

Bill" it read, "I've done all
that could. But nom insists
upon coming to see you. I
tried every way I knew Of to
prevent her, but finally I had
to promise to bring her. I
don't know what's going to
happen when she learns the
truth. It will just about break
her heart. Isn't there any
thing at all that you can do
to keep her from learning. that
you're a jailbird?"
First-CIass Fool s..
To say that Bill was frantic
would be putting it a little too
mildly. He paced UP and down
the cell with the letter in his
hand. He cursed himself for a
first-class fool. And each time
he thought of his mother, and
her feelings when she realized
that her son was q crook, he
grew cold all over.
In desperation he sought out
the warden and explained the
situation to him.
Il wish that you could help
me out, SIR" he said earnestly.
Don't you see how important
it is that my mother shouldn't
find out about me? I know
Shoulda thought of all that be-
fore, but it's too late to talk
about that now. Only I want
you to know that if get out
Of this mess now things are
gonna be different. When
get out of here I won't ever do
anything again to make her
feel bad. Isn't there some
thing you can do so she won't
know?"
The warden thought for a
moment. Then he nodded his
head, kindly.
In cases like this" he said,
II usually break a couple of
rules to keep a couple Of
hearts from breaking. And
usually, I wind up by kicking
myself for being a sap.
But you're a pretty decent
sort of kid, Bill. So I'm going
to help you. I won't tell you
now what I have in mind. But
don't worry. If I've got any,
thing to say about it, your
mother will never know that
you've been in prison. Is that
all right?"
Bill nodded rapidly.
You're a swell guy, warden"
