WAS SIXTY YEARS OF
 AGE YESTERDAY

Plymouth. Vt. July = (UP) Calvin Coolidge, who is spend ing the summer -at his ancestral homestead here where he was born, observed his 60th birthday unceremoniously yesterday, re- maining indoors because of heavy rain and a disagreeable attack of hay fever.
 The hay fever developed upon his arrival from Northampton, 10 days ago. and kept him abed sev- eral days last week. It was re- called that he suffered from rose fever during his terms as presi- dent.
 The Coolidges had their son. John, and his wife, the former Florence Trumbull of Plainville, Conn, as weekend guests. They left for their Connecticut home by automobile late yesterday.
 MT Coolidge spent the day read ing, writing a little, and opening congratulatory teiegrams and let ters. Over a hundred motorists passed through the town during the day in the hope of seeing the former president, but were disap- pointed. Some of them, however, saw Mrs Coolidge, for she took a short stroll in raincoat and rub Der boots.

completed. Sir Perival Clarke, prosecutor, began his address to the jury.
 Detective Inspector William Win ter testified that when he arrived at Mrs Barney's flat soon after Stephen had been killed he found two letters in the bedroom, one which Stephen wrote to Mrs Ear ney and the other which she wrote to him.
 1 Both were read in court.
 Stephen had written the letter to Mrs Barney at her fiat He dated it the Love Hut" The letter be- gan, "Baby little fatable," and in it stephen promised not to frighten her any more.
 The letter which Mrs Barney wrote to stephen was addressed My Darling, Baby" It said in part:
 q feel like suicide when you are angry. Sometimes when you are feeling furious, do try to think of the hell I have had to endure with J. B."
 Are J. B. the initials of Mrs Barney's husband?" Sir Patrick Hastings, defense counsel, asked.
 "Yes," Inspector Winter replied. Yesterday attendants carried the pale, broken daughter of Sir John Mullens and Lady Mullens from the famous old Bailey court after witnesses had described the scene they found when summoned to the home to help the wounded Stephen. The divorced wife of James Ster- ling Barney, American radio singer, faces sentence to be "hanged by the neck until dead" if convicted on the charges against her. There are two charges against Mrs Barney, one of attempting to shoot Stephen short time before he was killed, and the other the actual murder charge. Unprecedented scenes occurred outside the old Bailey when Mrs Barney came to trial. The famous court, renowned in British history and fiction, seats only a few dozen spectators. Hours before the trial began there was a great crowd in the street. Mounted police were called out to aid "bobbies" en- dangered by the mob which tried to storm the famous portals of justiceg
 The chances of saving Mrs Bar ney rom the galloWS rested chiefly with Sir Patrick Hastings, chief defense counsel. He contended at the first hearing that his client was in too "craZyy a state of mind' to have invented her version of the shooting. She contended that she and Stephen struggled for revol- yer, which was discharged. Stephen, she said, went into bedroom say. ing weakly fetch a doctor" and she did not realize the extent of his injuries.
 Dr. Durrant, summoned by Mrs Barney by phone with the message, "come at once, there has been a terrible accident" furnished the chief testimony for the opening of the prosecution's case. Mrs Barney collapsed when he described how he found Stephens body in full dress, on the floor, and how Mrs Barney had kissed the dead man and cried hysterically: Dr Durrant said that when he asked Mrs Bar ney, over the telephone, what was wrong, she replied that "a gentle man had shot himself.

Ramon NOvarrO fin "Huddle and ''The Woman in Room 13" at the New Garden

Ramon Novarro comes through with another scoring performance in "Huddle", which is headlined at the New Garden theater to-day and tomorrow. His role as an Italian laborer, who wins a scholar ship to Yale university is one of the most virile of his entire career and involves him in plenty of fact moving action. From brawls in the steeel mill to driving line plunges on the football field, No- varro never "lets down" for a minute. He has mastered gridiron technique in close detail and is utterly convincing in the various athletic sequences. The campus scenes are reproductions of build ings at Yale and seem to be~com- plete in every detail. Several thousand feet of film in the pro- duction were actually "shot" at the university, giving the picture not only authentic atmosphere but un- usually picturesque backgrounds. A strong cast supports the star, in- cluding Madge Evans, Una Merkel. Ralph Graves, John Arledge and Frank Alberton. The picture was directed by Sam Wood, whose previous scoring college pictures include ''So This is College" and "One Minute to Play. In the powerful role of a young divorcee, who fights the vengeful wrath of her ex-husband to protect the love. the respect and the life of her sec- ond husband, Elissa Landi comes to the screen of the New Garden theater. In her latest Fox drama, "The Woman in Room IS" which Is the co-feature, Ralph Bellamy and Neil Hamilton will be seen as Miss Landi's two husbands. Myrna Loy/ and Gilbert Roland are also featured in this photoplay, which is based on the stage play by Samuel Shipman, Max Marcin and Percival Wilde. Henry King directed.

College Necessary? Not For
 Mouie Stars, Records Show
By DAN THOMAS


 Hollywood.-A college education is desirable but not necessary for a successful screen career today.
 Such seems to be the con- sensus around Hollywood among those who are supposed to know all there is to know about making film stars-the executives and directors. They are the men who to a large extent guide the destinies of that large body of &C., tors and actresses now inhabiting movieland.
 "A few years ago before the film industry found its vocal organs education didn't mean a great deal as far as success on the screen was concerned. But today all that has changed. The girl or boy with a college education stands 8 much better chance of making the grade in pictures than one without It. That was what 8 prominent ex- ecutive told me a short time ago. There seemed to be some merit to what he said. So talked with other executives and directors on the same subject. Their opinions all coincided.
 we'll, that just about cinched matters. was willing to admit that a college course did mean quite a lot in the life of a film player. Then started thinking about how many of our Hollywood girls ever trod college campus except as visitors. That ruined beautiful theory. Facts and figures proved the contrary. Selecting two dozen of our most successful ac- tresses, discovered that only one third of them ever attended college |-two-thirds didn't.
 As far as the men are concerned. the ratio is little different. But we will have to take that up at a later dated. Dealing with "A girls in one story is in itself quite enough.
 Among those who decided to seek their careers without waiting to secure that higher education are Mary Pickford. Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer, Ann Harding. Greta Garbo, Janet Gaynor, Miriam Hopkins, Claudette Colbert, Dolores Del Rio, Ruth Chatterton. Tallulah Bankhead, Jeanette Macdonald Sylvia Sidney, Loretta Young. Sally EllerS ana MdTy DIldu.
 Needless to. say, these young ladies (and some are not so young) are doing quite we'll for themselves. thank you. Not a one regrets the step she took. However, neither do those on the other side of the fence. Among them we find Con- stance and Joan Bennett. Marlene Dietrich, Kay Francis. Helen Twelvetrees, Irene Dunne and Dorothy Jordan.
 
 It doesn't seem quite right to argue against institutions of higher learning. But facts ire facts. Hence the only conclusion one can draw Is that while university edu- cation always is desirable-those sheepskins are nice to show the grandchildren-it is difficult to re- gard it as any kind of an aid to a girl with aspirations to become a screen star. We'll, she might lose her ambition while in college, which would make those years very much worth whfle-it's a tough climb to screen stardom.

Safety Glass Discovery

The year 1881 is virtually the twen-
ty-first birthday of safety glass, for it
was in 1910 that the patent now most
generally used was filed. The inven-
tor was Edouard Benedictus, French
chemist Of Dutch origin, who had an
experimental laboratory in Paris. One
day he dropper a bottle to the stone
floor, and although it was starred in-
side like crystal 1t did not break
He remembered that it had contained
a mixture Of various chemicals which
had evaporated and coated the inte-
rior with transparent enamel. Bene-t
dictus noted the formula, and realized
that on his shelf lay the secret of I'M
splintered glass. The patent was filed
in 1910, but it was not till Reginald
Delpech, the English pioneer motorist,
took up the idea that safety glass was
manufactured.
