All he wanted then was the largest

HANGING was the avenue by which

DANCING was the avenue by which
- I reached the screen!
During childhood it was my ambi-
ton to carve for myself niche in
the theater's hall of fame. My par
ents, however. had different plans for
me and always discouraged my
thoughts in this direction. Eventually
I had to run away from home to even
get chance to demonstrate my en-
bryonic talents. But let's start at the
beginning!
l was born at San Antonio, Tex,
and, like most any other child, spent
my early teens mastering the mys-
teries Of the three "R's." But after
school hours and during vacation Pc
RODS my thoughts always strayed to
a secretly cherished dream of some
day becoming great actress
Although my father owned a thea
ter he refused to even think of per-
hitting me to train for a theatrical
career but his resistance merely
served to whet my desire to seek fame
on the stage.
This prediction became even more
strongly attached to me while l was
attending finishing school in Kansas
City.
One day l sat down and figured
the whole thing out. I wanted to be
an actress of this / was sure. But
father and mother thought otherwise.
So I decided upon a bold course.

"He's Full of the Old Adam"
IT is unnecessary to go at length
into the significance of this expires
sion which we hear and use constant
ly. Perhaps this phase of the sub
ject will be done justice by the simple
statement that the "Old Adam" ap-
pears to be reference to the sup
position that man has a natural ten
dency towards evil, an inference per
haps unjustly drawn from the fact that
Adam, the first man. succumbed to
temptation.
The phrase is found in many varia

Tending ADAM" This also is refer
ence to the original inclination in man
to evil. This latter modification of the
original turn of the words is used by

week after his departure, MIR. Bis
choff received a telegram. II said that
d'Annunzio had presentment that the
fish was dying and asked for report
on it's health. Mr.. Bischoff went to
see the goldfish. found it in excellent
health and spirits, and wired to that
effect. Twenty minutes later he re-
ceived summons from his wife. He
found her in a state of agitation, look

There appeared to be no explanation,
but the fish certainly was dead. MIR.
Bischoff Gained his wife, disposed of
the fish ir the most convenient man

the sad news and his condolences.
Back came another telegram from
d'Annunzio. 1t thanked Mr.. Bischoff
for his sympathy and asked him to
bury the goldfish in the garden. This
was tall order, as the fish was now
beyond recall. Mr.. Bischoff told his
troubles to his head waiter. an Italian
named Galvinni. large man with a
sense of humor. Galvinni said that all
would be well. He secured large
sardine from the chef, wrapped 1t in
cotton, put it in box, and buried it
in the garden. Above it was placed
marker, bearing the somewhat mac
curate statement that this was the
resting place of the pet goldfish of
Gabrielle d'Annunzio. Two weeks la
ter, d'Annunzio returned and asked to
be shown the grave. He read the in
scription and was satisfied.
In some ways this is reminiscent of
the Manhattan man and the canary
bird, to which his wife was extremely
attached. When it expired ct old age,

AS look back l can see that it was
indeed a foolhardy venture for a
young girl, unframed in the ways of

hood in a strange CITY,. Good luck was

when Harry Rapf of the Metro-Gold-

evening and offered me the chance to
enter motion pictures.

what Hollywood was really like.

Upon my arrival in the movie city

FEW HOUSES HELD
WORTHY TO LAST
Apartment Janitor Service
Obsolete, Architect Also
Declares.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 28.-Only
about per cent of existing housing
in American cities is worthy to last
generation, and apartment houses that
depend for their popularity upon jani-
tor service already are obsolete.
That is the opinion of Henry Wright
of New York, a member of the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects Committee
on Housing and Community Planning,
who has been in Cleveland consulting
with architects and others interested
In various Slum elimination proposals.
Wright says he has advised those
planning slum elimination projects that
I've do not need apartment houses"
Repudiates Janitors.
"I even advised architects here
against four-story walk-ups which some
of them have suggested" he said.
Highly janitored service has been re-
pudiated. People. can get individual
heating units, individual incinerators,
individual refrigerators and other ap-
pliances that make janitor service OBJ
solete"
But America certainly needs better

cities is worthy to last a generation.
America has the worst housing Of any
civilized nation in the world today.
"All groups discussing housing will
have to get together OH their ideas.
There are social groups who demand
low costs and low rentals. There are
other groups who say they can provide
houses for half the price social groups
ask. Architects have had it too easy;
they haven't learned yet how to cut
costs to the bone.
Urges Cooperation.
"The whole thing Is a matter Of all
groups interested being compelled to
do lot of cooperation on all basic
factors, such as rent and community
organization"
A word of caution to overenthusi-
astic supporters Of slum clearance Is
voiced by Wright.
"If any one thinks now that because
there is lot of cheap money in Wash
ington he will be moving into new
housing in a few months he does not
know what 1t takes to do this sort Of
thing" he says. I'VE in New York
have discussed it for years, but still
there has been no proper housing in
New York, no slum clearance.
I'VE all have a long way to 60 before
we are to scratch. But there are good
possibilities"
