INTIMATE GLIMP.SES AND
INSIDE STUFF ON. THE
MOVIE COLONY

Hollywood.--A quiet-mannered,
soft-spoken man sat behind the
carved walnut desk-not quite as
large a desk as used to repose in
his Office year ago, but still indi-
catiye of an influential position.
The most difficult part of start
ing all over again is the RESPONSE
bility a man usually must shoulder
on his second climb" he said.
Jesse Lasky, year ago one of
the all-powerful figures In the mo-
ton picture industry, was telling
me of the fight he is waging to re-
gain the position of solid comfort
he enjoyed for so many years as
the producing head of the Para
mount studio.
The motion picture industry gave
Lasky everything he ever had in
the way Of .wealth-and then took
1T all away from him. The millions
he had taken out of the company
started by himself and Adolph
Zukor were poured back into it
when poor business demanded
them. But still more millions were
needed. Banking interests came
forward to finance the studio, and
reorganize it. Soon Lasky no
longer was with the company he
had helped to build. His stock,
bought at an average price of SOS
per share, had to be sold for 81 a
share.
But still he didn't give up. The
once powerful man who had be-
come one of the millions of unem-
ployed, set out to find another job.
But, except that which came from
few close friends, there was no
sympathy for him as there was for
jobless actors who tramped the
streets. He had the reputation of
being a wealthy man. Few seemed
to realize that he had become prac-
tically penniless.

The Sultan of Brunei. to whom
Sarawak belonged, was in the
midst of an unsuccessful struggle
with pirates who were terrorizing
his entire domain. Brooke and his
friends offered their services as
soldiers of fortune. They cleaned
out the pirates, and as a reward
the grateful sultan made Brooke
a rajah, with Sarawak as the do
main over which he was to have
absolute rule.
James Brooke became the white
rajah, and third in line from him,
the father of the present bride,
now rules Sarawak.
Cannibalism Still Found
Once Sarawak's capital, Ku-
ching, was seized by Chinese pi-
rates and only recaptured after q
bloody battle. But the constant
battle of the white rajahs has been
against the ignorance and barbar-
ism of their own 100000 subjects
spread through jungled area the
size of Kentucky. Tigers are as
common as alley-cats and the
head-hunting Dyaks and other
Malay subjects like nothing better
after a victorious war than a little
filet of speared enemy, rare.
Brooke was knighted. his ne
phew succeeded him, and then his
son, the present rajah, returning
from Cambridge. led expeditions
against the head-hunters. He mar
ried the Hon Sylvia Brett, daugh-
ter of Lord Esher, who became
thus Rance of Sarawak.
1t was their daughter, Leonora
Brooke, who married the earl. She
was reared in their jungle capital
where 3O-foot snakes and huge
poisonous insects abound, and even
the royal palace rooms must be kept
almost bare SO crawling danger
can be quickly seen. Yet it is a
country into which the enlightened

Rise of an Earl
The family of the bridegroom is
little less romantic. His father

ing long hours at so cents week
in a shipping office. He wound
up multimillionaire shipping
magnate and earl of Inchcape,
with a fortune so great that the
inheritance taxes alone were more
than $5.000,000. The present earl
came into the title sin 1929. He is
now as, father of three sons, and
divorced two years ago from the
former Joan Moriarty. He served
during the World war with the
Twelfth Lancers and the machine
gun corps.
His sister, Elsie Mackay, is
dead. But in the family lineage,
this is written: Lost in airplane

west, March 10. 1925" 1t was she
who started out with Captain Bert
Hinchcliffe five years ago to cross
the Atlantic, and who was never
heard from again. Even the fem
mime Mackays were valiant.
1t was on one of her numerous
trips to England that the rajah's
daughter met the earl. She had
been reported engaged to Max
Ausnit, Rumanian millionaire. But
that was broken off when the earl
began his counting. And a 22-
year-old girl came from the jun

nified earl, peer of the realm OF
England.

Lasky had two big advantages,
courage to start over
again and the brains which would
make him a valuable asset. He
knew how to make pictures. Other
studio executives recognized that
fact. SO, two months after he
found himself jobless, he became
an associate producer at the Fox
studio. He no longer was the abb
