HOLLYWOOD, Cal, July 20.- Doug and Mary-what of their fu- lures?
 Mary is going to keep on work ing in pictures-there seems nc doubt about that. Of Douglas plans even speculative Hollywood is not as sure as usual.
 Even though they are married Mary has her own company, Doug las has his. Only for one picture were their interests merged-their co-starring film, "The Tanning of the Shrew."
 Before he sailed to Europe the Hast time, Doug was warm" on a story of a modern Robin Hood-like character with Chinese back ground the film to be made 1r China. This idea was virtually abandoned.
 lc Considered Remaking Hits
 Another that caught his fancy was the plan to remake two of his earlier successes, The Mark oi Zorro" and Don o, Son of Zorro ' These, if filmed would mark a reversion to the swashbuckling cos tune dramas which were the ath- letic stars delight, along with such pictures as "The Gauchi.
 His last of the costume typs, pre- tentious and ornate, was 'The Iron Mask" Since that was made, Doug has made two pictures besides his feature travelog. Reaching for the Moon" was modern comedy drama, and MT. Robinson Crusos' was adventure comedy.
 There has been talk that he thought of turning producer, per haps after a couple of pictures more. Another report has had it that he was tired of films and wanted to do nothing more than continue his extensive travels.
 Mary Still Pursues Career l Mary. on the other hand, appears as full of fight for her career as ever. In pictures since 1909-shs was born in l893-she has remain ed before the public consistently as no other star has done.
 Her first talkie, eCoquette," has grossed more, the company claims than any other Pickford feature ever made. Her second was 'Kiki, not so successful, and her third and latest was Secrets which appears to be. well received ir many cities.
 Once, after Mary had appeared | in a series of poor pictures, all Hollywood thought the Pickforo star had fallen. Mary dug into her cinematic trenches, fought, ano emerged again brighter than ever Chooses Stories Carefully
 An indefatigable worker, Mary searches long and painstakingly TOT suitable stories. She began "Se- crets' as her second talkie, aban- doning it after spending much money and time on it, because Il was not shaping up well When she made it again, it was from a different script.
 Hollywood sees Mary's future in films dependent mainly on the quality of her next two pictures If she can make them outstanding Hollywood sees no reason why the Pickford star should not shine on.
 The same, in Hollywood's view applies to Doug-if he is interested.

TAX COMMISSIONER
 CALLS CONFERENCE
Will Meet Assessors and Others at New Haven
 on December II

The following is a copy of let- ter being sent out by Tax Com missioner w. H. Hackett inviting assessors and other officials to an informal conference Monday af- ternoon, Dec II at o'clock in the afternoon at the county court house building New Haven. An informal conference of the assessors of the 27 towns in New Haven county will be held on Mon day afternoon, December II, be- ginning at 1 o'clock in Room 4, first flor, County Court building, New Haven. You are hereby in- vited.
 This will be one of the 1893 series of sectional conferences which are beig held at convenient places throughout the state. Similar meetings were held two years ago and, I believe, proved to be of very practical value.
 The meeting will be conducted in the nature of a round-table discus sion of assessors problems. It is particularly desired that assessors come prepared to ask questions, discuss recent legislation and opinions of the Connecticut su- pIeHlG COuEI Ol eIIOIS, CAClldASc . views, etc, thereby gaining infor- nation useful and profitable to them and of benefit to the com munities they serve. A set pro- gram with prepared addresses is Intentionally avoided.
 Such conferences present an op- portunity to newly elected asses sors to acquire much needed in- formation, and for assessors of experience to help each other with the troublesome phases of their work. The smaller group meet ings, it is felt, will provve of more interest and worth to the assessors, and permit attendance of many al the afternoon conference nearer home who would not be able to gel to Hartford from all parts of the state for an entire days session on a statewide scale.
 There is no municipal activity o1
 more importance than sound anc | painstaking practices in the office of the assessors. The tax commis l sioner is pleased to lend encour'
 agement and the facilities of hi | department to advance the caus'
 of whole-hearted, painstaking as
 sessment procedure.
 All other town and municipal of
 ficials, particularly members ol
 boards of relief and selectmen, and the public, as well, will be welcome
 and you are urged to invite them.

 Attorney Terence F. Carmody, counsel for the administrator, filed an application asking that the court strike the claims from the jury docket. This petition was de- nied by Judge Newell Jennings.
 The cases were pending trial when the withdrawal papers were filed today.
 The Roberts based their claims on the failure of Frank J. Gorse to take care of them by will as they claimed he often said he would.
 In their claims they alleged they took care of MT Gorse from March 2, 1926 to his death on October 1, 1892. They claimed that before he made his will he was stricken by apoplexy. Miss Roberts claimed she nursed him during his illness and that MT Gorse lived with the Roberts family as a member of the family,
