Miss Jean Harlow, In Her Latest Picture Shows

1.-The Man Who Came Back" has
continued to be winSome and SEN
timental, and an ideal Cinderella
type through and through.
Nevertheless, the public prefers
its screen tonic in stronger doses
than it ever has before. The more
of a beating" a handsome, grade
A actress gets, the more likely she
is to succeed. Miss Harlow, for
instance, will probably become one
of the most Sought-afte cinema
sisters for her performance as a
little mink whose code is about as
high as a gravel path. If, to be
honest, Red Headed Woman" isn't
the most vitriolic of all heroineS, If
her charms aren't a yirulent eX-
ample of how not to behave, if
she isn't the most earthly, greedy
little woman ever unfolded before
the camera, then Miss Brush never
wrote this story, nor did Miss Har-
low (alas) act in it.
So this years heroines have
gone. Miss Garbo as ''Mata Hari''
was a somewhat higher class vii
lainesS, and in "As You Desire Me"
you wondered just what she was.
But since she began on Anna
Christie" she has certainly not
been as good as gold. Few have
even blue-eyed Joan Bennett,
whose cinema course runs smooth

now and again. In other words,
good heroineS aren's in style any
more.
WHAT happened to those COL

Did you know that Kathryn lex

Minna Gombell were the best of

Or that Clara Bow is now II

Or that Charlie Chaplin is plan

vent his eX-wife, Lita Grey Chap

in a Fox film?
It is true, too, that the Roxy in
New York may shut down for the

the people for construction of an
aqueduct from the Colorado river

plete the work, C. C. Edler, engineer
and Colorado river expert, testified
today before Superior Judge Leon
r. Yankwich.
Elder was called to the witness
stand in the suit brought by Mrs.
Katherine K. Buck, taxpayer, to in
validate the bond issue on the
ground that it does not provide
sufficient money for the work, that
the voters were deceived by pub
licity of the Metropolitan Water

essity for the project.
The engineer denied, as previous

also identified as a Colorado river
expert, that the Hoover dam would
fill with silt within Is years. On
the other hand, he declared, the
dam would have at least 300 years
of life before such an occurrence
