Maya's subjects thousands of years

Newark, N. J., Sept 6-(UP)- Henry Bern, brother of Paul Bern. left by airplane for the Pacific coast to-day to investigate circum- stances surrounding hisb rother's death.
 He branded as "utter1y ridicu- lous' reports that the motion pie ture executive and husband of Jea n Harlow took his life because of a quarrel over the dismissal of servants.
 The Bern family here, he said, was not satisfied with published explanations of the tragedy.
 "I'm going" out there to find out what's back of it all," he declared.
 "I want to get my information first hand. I read the Dearest Dear note and I can't make head or tail of it. I want to know all about it and so do the rest of my family"
 Commenting on the story of a family quarrel, the brother de- clared that Paul Twas too level headed a man to permit such q trivial thing to trouble him great ly." "A person doesn't do a thing like this unless there is some motive and I don't know of any possible motive for Paul's act" he said. Henry Bern, a public relations counsellor, heads a large service organization here.

her brilliant eareeer ended is tragedy.
 When fatal illness seized Mable Normand, the comedienne, Bern was called to soothe her last mo- ments and stand by Lew Cody, her husband.
 Lya De Putti, whose rhetoric path through Hollywood was as brilliant as 1t was brief, flew to Bern when she was oppressed and in trouble.
 It is said that Bern persuaded Nazimova, depressed and discour- aged. to make her own famous ''comeback.'
 He was a friend of both John Gilbert and Ina Claire, Gilbert's former wife, and retained both friendships after the marriage end cd in divorce.
 John Crawford and Jetta Gou- dal are others who came under Bern's protection at time when Hollywood seemed about to crush them. Estelle Taylor sough this advice.
 Bern lived a secluded life far up in Benedict Canyon. His home was so remote that he placed a sign at a lane branching from the main road from Holywood-'This way to Paul Bern's home.'
 Hollywood always regarded Bern as confirmed bachelor. A gem uine surprise came to the movie colony when the 42-year-old' exe- cutive married Miss Harlow, q vaa ra hia iurinr T,llv
 Bern was known as ultra a-sensi- tive. He appeared to suffer intensely himself when i'll luck came to his friends. His associates said he frequently discussed the philoso- phy of self-destruction.
 His family came to New York from Germany when he, was 10 years old. Bern, according to his friends, frequently went hungry as boy. He forged ahead in the thea ter and motion picture business only by his indfatiguabl spirit and gnius.
 Bern studied in the American Academy of Dramatic arts and be- came stage manager and direc. tor of theatricals. Later he wrote scenarios for motion pictures His work on "The Marriage Cir. cie," The Christian" and 'The Dove" gained him prominence and he was elevated to the position ol producer at M-G-M. His most re. cent success was "The Divorcee" for Norma Shearer.
 Miss Harlow's rise was as swift as Bern's was slow and plodding. The platinum blonde was borr in Kansas City, where her famil, had money and social position. She was educated at a fashionable girls school in Lake Forest, Ill.,, ant then Married Charles F. McGrew son of wealth Chicago family.

 School officials look forward to a record registration in the high schools.
