Mary Piekford Is
 Coming to State

Bette Davis first starring picture "Ex-Lady" and Zane Grey's finest novel "The Mysterious Rider" con- cude their engagement at War ners' State this evening.
 Tomorrow brings Mary Pick ford's first picture in more than two years, Secrets" one of the finest pictures Americas Sweet heart' has ever made.
 Secrets" gives Miss Pickford what she believes is an ideal ve- hicIe. In the first place, it is motion picture" from beginning to end, and in the second place the story is a simple one of love and elemental emotions, with no wise cracking and no sophistication. It is Miss Pickf0rd's sincere belief that simple tales, simply told, will be the salvation of the screen, just as they are bound to be in liter ature.
 Months of preparatory work went into the picturization of "Se- crets'. In every branch, Miss Pick ford spared no expense and time in procuring the best material and the best personnel, as will be borne out by glance at the pro- duction staff and the cast of play CTS. Both before and behind the camera were names" known throughout the world.
 In the latter category were Fran ces Marion, scenarist, and Frank Borzage, director, who recently were awarded their second tro- phies by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, thus joining the very small army of two-tim'e winners in Hollywood. Also behind the cameras were Ray June, cameraman, and Richard Day, art director who were recent runnersup in the Academy awards. And both before and behind those cameras, was Miss Pickford her. self, who won an academy award for her "Coquette."
 In front of the cameras was an all-star cast in every sense of the word. Leslie Howard, English star was Miss Pickford's leading man, and Mona Maris is the "other wo- man." Then there are c. Aubrey Smith, Blanche Frederici, Doris Lloyd, Herbert Evans, Ned Sparks and Jerry Stewart.
 A deluxe surrounding program has been carefully selected by Manager Julia M. Smith to accom- pany this noteworthy feature pre- sentation.

The picture opens today at the New Garden exhibiting itself as ten- der and human romance of young love, shot through with thrills and tragedy, and made real by Vina Delmar's clever writing.

 Alone she paced the floor. What would this mean to all of them? They had been poor, they had been shabby. but no one ever had been able to point a finger of scorn at them. What would Kay say, who was sol lovely and so proud? She glanced fearfully at the clock. Kay was due home from school at any moment. Someone might call to her on the street, might terrify her. f"Ya-aah, your brothers in jaili" And Mark, mischievous, friendly and loyal. Poor Mark! Of herself Monnie would not think. Of what it means to her and her hopes. She never knew, later, how she got through that dreadful after noon. She had telephoned the store | to say she wouldn't be able to come back that day. She made her moth CT drink some strong, hot tea. She kept up her pose of unflawed cheerfulness. When Kay and Mark came in she drew them aside and told them the story as kindly as she could. Rays reaction was typi- cal. . " "But, Monnie, that's rotten for us." Her pale face blazed. I'm going to get out of this town. I'm sick of 1t anyway. This-thisll l finish us."
 ,sternly the older sister reminded her, "Don't you care at all what happens to Bill?" sNs. l "Oh, Bill" There was a world ltof contempt in the girls voice. "I knew something like this'd happen, with that crowd he'ssbeen running with" s2- Something ins her tone arrested
 Monnie. It wasn't just Kay's ordi-
 nary threatening. voice. What
 crowd?" N,1'
 Kay shrugged. "oh, if you didn't
 keep yourself buried like an os-
 trich, you'd know. That cheap
 crowd from the Center = that
 candy-shop girl-married, too"
 Monnie's heart gave a great leap
 This was worse and worse.
 "You mean Bills been running
 around with married woman?"
 "of course, he has. Everybody
 knows it."
 Don't let Mother hear you,'
 warned Monnie with glance al
 the stairs. "You stay here. I've
 got an important errand to do"
 She snached her hat from the
 hall stand and ran out. She must
 find Charles Eustace. This woman,
 whoever she was, must be the clew l to Bills innocence. Bill must be
 shielding her. That was why he wouldn't tell more about the night
 at Black Tree Inn. But maybe the woman would talk-and save Bill from disgrace!

Several people began to talk at once. The big man silenced them.
 "Maybe you don't know," he be- .an truculently, that there's been a robbery down at the gas station s--an' big one. Maybe you don't know this young feller let them get away. Maybe you don't know we have positive evidence he con- nived with them payroll thieves"
 The veins in Bills forehead were swollen painfully. His scorntul blue eyes flashed defiance. Was it fear that lurked behind those blue eyes? No, Monnie would not enter tain that thought for single min ute! staunchly.
 "He was seen at Black Tree Inn with the lot of them last night, said the big man, enjoying the drama of this announcement. lie knew them. He was in on 1t. He lett there early and he won't say where he went and who he was With. Guess that sounds guilty. don't it?
 Bill said thickly, fiercely, That's a lie!"
 "It's not lie you were drinkin, with the lot of them at the Inn
 No" The monosyllable was wrenched from Bill. No: But.
 The big man cut him orr abruptly. None of your buts, young feller."
 T didn't know them. They just sat down at my table," Bill flung across at him. T swear l didn't know.
 His eyes found his mothers hag- gard face, implored her to believe him.
 "Then when they drove up, brave as you please, at II o'clock dldn you fill up their gas tanks and pass the time O day with them as nap py as you please?" went on the pig man. '"When they says hands up, didn't you let them get away with it? Don't tell me you aren't part and parcel of the gang" Don't worry, Bill. We believe you wen get a lawyer"
 But Bill had been at Black Tree Inn. That alone counted against him, Her heart was pounding pain fully, No matter what he had done the O'Dares would stand by him. Hut how dreadful 1t all was. The tag end of a verse she had always loved came into her mind just then. sThe men of my own stock,

 Bill looked oddly like their dead father at this moment. Daddy. the most honest man who'd ever lived. No. Bill O'Dare wasn't - couldn't be a thief. There must be way out of this nightmare and Monnie would have to find 1t.

FILM STARS SOMETIMES START
 THEIR CAREERS RIGHT AT TOP
Stage Experience
 UsuallyNeeded, HOweUer
BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer


 Hollywood = Numerous success full film players have started their film careers without going through the struggles that have marked the paths of most.
 Movies offer fertile field for reversing the usual formula of get ting ahead.
 It Is true that most of those who have started out this way had stage experience behind them - but by no means all. And not all. stage folk have found it easy to get places for themselves on the silver screen.
 Tom Brown is an excellent ex- ample of a successful film player who had no stage experience, and took a short cut to stardom. With practically no background, Tom walked into the Universal studio and began his screen career with from Brown of Culver.
 Katherine Hepburn, with only one successful stage play behind her, played the lead opposite John Barrymore for her first screen ef- fort and was 'starredin her second film, christopher Strong" Sue Carol didn't even know how to put on makeup when she started in pictures several years ago. but that didn't stop her from playing leading roles right from the start Ruth Taylor's first appearance be- | fore the cameras was as the fem mine lead in "Gentlemen Prefer
 Blonds.".
 Although he had done plenty ot work on the stage prior to his star | in pictures, Will Rogers never wa!
 known as anything but humor ist until he donned grease paint fol | the movies. And he was star II his first picture. So was Maurice Chevalier, whose previous experience had been con fined to musical comedies II France.
 As far as those with a consider able stage. background are con cerned, quite a number have beer | given major roles as soon as the, arrived in Hollywood. The casua observer might ask, Why not = they already knew how to act?' True - but the technique of act ing for the camera is vastly differ
 ent from that used on the stage. |
 So 1t isn't always so easy to stel from behind the footlights into top spot in the movies. It is, how l ever, the best method of getting l such a start on a screen career.

 No. No. I s'pose not" He con- terhplated the problem, stroking his white beard. "There isn't any one. suppose"
 Monnie flushed. She knew what he must be thinking. Everyone in town supposed her to be engaged to Dan Cardigan. Wouldn't the Cardigans help her out-that was what Judge Cory meant.
 No one," she said with decision. What the proud Cardigans would think when they heard that Bill O'Dare was in jail she did not dare to consider. It was Bill she had to fight for now.
 "I'll go right down and see the boy" The old man stood up, reach ing for his battered Panama. "Ill do the best I can."
 She had to be content with that.

 She swayed against the girl, her face lighted with a deadly pallor, Monnie felt the world swimming around her for one dreadful mo- ment. Then she heard friendly voice. Charles Eustace's.

 At last they were at home. Mir! O'Dare, declaring herself able tt walk now, had been assisted into the house. had willingly accepted the medicine Dr Waterman hat prescribed for her and agreed t' lie down for a short time.
 Monnie went back into the Twin, room where she found Charles Eus tace, very big and masculine among the ferns and looped cur tains of her mothers domain.
