A Good Picture

Back in a New York ceme-
terry, a body was lowered into a
grave. A body with six bullet
holes in it. A mother screamed.
A sister wept. And in the back
ground, two reporters talked it
over.

Film Story on
Mexico
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1882, King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)


HOLLYWOOD, Calf, March 90
Movie moguls have a sharp eye
on the recent trend to glorify
Mexican art and the simple life
as led in the southern republic.
One studio, Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer, already is preparing to
give the movement screen express
sion. Laurence Stallings, it de-
velopS, employed his four weeks
in Hollywood to write an original
story called Mexico" The synop-
sis is completed and is in the
hands of Irving Thalberg.
AS described to me, the story
deals with young man Of mixed
Spanish and English blood, who
revoltS against the busy metro
politan life of the United States
and goes to Mexico to return to
the earth"
The role Immediately suggests
Ramon Novarro, but this enters
the realm of speculation.
Stallings, needn't remind you,
co-authored What Price Glory"
and wrote the original one-page
synopsis of The Big Parade"
During his Journalistic career,
he also spent a considerable time
in Mexico, so he may be looked
to for an authentic story.
His Hollywood stay over, the
author now is en- route to the
country retreat where he carries
on his literary labors in the East.

present. After listening for
while, he interrupted. The

"is that you've let failure go TO

topper.

The Strange Sequel

IlS )tI al i6S OSN WI
In a large Ivy in the north
ern part of New York State,
one of the wealthiest men in
the town was closeted with his
attorney.
Il tell you very frankly,
Tom," he asserted, that in all
your experience you have never
heard anything to top this.
In the first place, 1 didn't
want to drive the car to New
York. It's a terribly tiresome
trip, and I never did fancy a
16-hour run under any condi!
tions. But, even though the
chauffeur was sick, my wife in
sisted.
"On the second day in town
we drove out to Smithfield's
estate, out on Long Island. 1t
was the usual gathering, you
know, and we didn't have bad
time at all. AS a matter of
fact, Smithfield and got a
little tight. And it was around
midnight when we left.
II vas going along one of the
main highways to New York at
a pretty good clip when some
thing suddenly happened to my
lights. 1t was just a loose
connection somewhere, but 1t
was more than enough to beat
me.
Fortune Tossed In
well, after getting myself
properly excited and telling my
wife thing or two, I did the
only thing possible under the
circumstances. hailed another
machine and drove to the near.
est garage in search of a me.
chanic. Meanwhile, my wife
stepped to the rear of the car
and made herself comfortable.
In a minute she was doing.
Now get this, Tom. 1t
couldn't have been more than a
few moments later that she was
awakened by someone opening
the door of the car. She sat
up rigidly, too frightened to
move. Through the darkness
she saw mans face. He said
nothing at all-never even
looked at her. All he did was
to toss in a package that hit
her knee, slam the door and
vanish into the darkness.
II have to laugh when I
think of it. but my wife never
moved from that position until
I returned. She pointed the
package out to me and gasped
out the story.
II opened that package. I
opened it a trifle gingerly, I will
admit, but I did it just the
same And there, in my hands,
was $4,000 in cold cash! I
didn't know what to make of 1t
then, and I'm just as much at
a loss right now.
Can't Explain 1t
You've known me for plenty
of years, Tom, and you know
that I never exaggerate. I've
omitted some of the details,
but I'll go over the thing with
you completely before I leave.
1 have the money at home now,
and I want your advice as to
the best thing to do"
The attorney rubbed his chin.
Most unusual" he unused.
Highly amazing. I'll have to
have time to think this over.
But, by the way, which car were
you driving?"
MY green Mercedes" replied
the millionaire client. II wanted
to take the Buick, because it
was much lighter, but my wife
insisted on the Mercedes. So
that's the one I drove.
And that's just another angle
that makes it more mystifying,
Tom. My car couldn't have
been mistaken for any other.
because I don't think there's
another one like it in the State.
1 just can't understand it,"

ALASKA COLD ADEQUATE TO
 ALLAY FEARS
Recent Discovery Causes Finanical Editor to
 Make Comment

l.. E. Hill Financial Editor ol the Seattle Post -Int2lligencer, 1T
 the issue of October 15, said:
 Maybe the great American treas.
 ure house, Alaska, will give III
 enough gold to make American ano
 European financiers less jumpy
 when a ton or more crosses the
 Atlantic in one direction or the
 other. The subject is prompted
 by a suppressed excitement on Sec
 ond Avenue yesterday over a story
 to the effect that an Alaska mine
 had received $37,00e in settlement of a 1,700-pound shipment of con- centrates. This would be at the rate of S42,350 ton, or $2l.l7 per pound of concentrates. The alleged shipment was attributed to the Nebesna Mining Company, of which Carl Whitman is President.
 At Whitham's headquarters it was said he would not discuss the subject at all. But persons be- lieved to be reliable and informed consider the property one of great potentiality. It is located north of the Kennecott properties, over behind the range of mountains, about 125 miles northeast of Chit ina in the Copper River country. One, story is that whitman, while prospecting about two years ago, found where a bear had been try ing to dig out a gopher and that Whitman banned the queer look ing dirt and found it rather rich in free gold. He named the vein the Bear Vein. This is the second season of operation and is said to be very successful Those inter ested appear to have sought by all means to avoid any notoriety, or to make any claims as to the of the discovery.
 This may or may not prove to be great discovery of gold. But AL aska teens with prospectors and hey are finding gold as the figures If the Seattle assay office, recently made public by R. J. Grant, attest. t seems likely that there will be ! great many big gold discoveries n the Territory and they may 'reak the depression when least xpected
