I'll build bigger and better Zion city
than ever before" he said.
His remark recalled the statement
he made back in 1907 after he sue
ceeded Alexander Dowie as head Of the
Christian Catholic Apostolic Church,
1t was then that he told a court that
his assets were exactly 80 cents.
"The day will come" he predicted,
when I will own every foot, inch and
pinch Of Zion"
Under his leadership the Zion in
dustries. founded by Dowie as a CO.
operative venture, grew until the finan-
cial empire he predicted came true.
His followers baked cookies, ran cement
factories. paved roads and engaged in
other lines Of endeavor. Financial
storms were weathered until about two
years ago, since then his flock and
factory workers have not received reg
ular pay checks.
The bankruptcy petition against
VoliVa, filed in behalf of J. B. Leech,
Robert Stowe and Albert w. Tarbotte
Of Zion, charged he owed more than
S500,000 Another suit brought by the
trio alleged the Zion Corporation had

Salmaggi is packing them in at the

opera productions there are the hit of
the season. In fact. a prominent scribe
in last Sundays Herald Tribune quotes
Mr.. Salmaggi as saying: Il can make

4 NEW ACTOR
STEALS FILM
At COLUMBIA
Randolph Scott
Does Well in Vest
ern Picture.

Despite the fact that he is pitted
against hardened Western actors Of
the old and the new school including
Noah Beery, Harry Trader Horn"
Cary and Tom Keene) in f1ve-star
Paramount Western, Randolph Scott.
that film company's newest find, does
one Of the neatest jobs of picture steal
ing ever done in film of this type.
Sunset Pass" which opened at the
Columbia yesterday. is taken from the
novel by Zane Gray and, like all of
Grays novels, contains more of the pic
turesque than plot. However, the pro-
ducers have caught a great deal of
this picturesCueness in camera angles
that give much color to the vastness
of our West, and have written an ac-
ceptable scenario Oh the plot
Although Noah Beery appears only
for a short time in the opening scenes
of the film. along with George Barber
and Keene. there still remains rather
stiff opposition for Mr. Scott in Harry
Cary and young Keene, handicapped
as he is by his weak-brother role.
Paramount appears to be doing an odd
thing in casting both Scott (who wears
full dress better than he does woolen
shirts and boots) and Kathleen Burke,
frSt known as Cne fanLncT WOIldtl
in vehicles of this type, though neither
seem at all out of place and simply
hoist the film to their shoulders and
walk away with it from under the very
noses of these veteran Westerners.
The lighter moments Of the film
(When Tom Keene is not chasing Harry
Cary-very bad manor whole bunch
of cattle rustlersl are well taken care
of by Fuzzy knight, Vince Barnett and
the household cook. Leila Bennett.
Needless to say there is much action
in this film and other than horses
running full tilt across the plains. there
is also a cattle stampede, gun-hghtin5
in a town saloon, and love duet be-
tween Keene and Miss Burke and Mr..
knight and the cook. Tom keene, as a
young deputy, is detailed to rouno up a
bunch of rustlers led by Harry Cary and
Scott, who is forced to be a rustler be-
cause Cary has something on his family
which he does not want his sister
miss Burke) to know. During thu
ensuing fight Scott is shot and later
dies. but not before he gives Keene the
secret and gets his promise that his
sister shall never know. Keene keeps
the secret and also the ranch and Miss
Burke.

musical comedy in her younger davs.
But 1t was not until the bloom of her
youth was gone and she turned from
musical comedy to comedy drama that
she became the world favorite she is
today-the Marie Dressler who is box
office and the actress whom everybody
idolizes.
As a beauty-and-brai star Zanuck
indicates Constance Bennett as a shin
ing example. Glamour, according to
Zanuck, is beauty plus brains. And
Ia Bennett, he tells us, has it a-plenty.
And the producer thinks Loretta Young
mas the same thing. And that is why
he has picked her out of Hollywood
for a long-term contract, and Is plan
ming to star her later.
''Shn is young-is still maturing-and
when she has come into the full swing
of her personality, she will be one of
the truly glamorouS women of Holly
wood. Star material Of high order"
If you can't tell story in 444 words
or at least under 500 words-zanuck,
who seems to have the most interest
ing ideas I have run across today,
doesn't think you have a story for him.
He buys the bare idea because he
thinks all stories are written in con-
ferences-not in manuscripts brought to
producers. He wants something diff
ferent- something novel in idea-some-
thing that will be good material for
his staff Of writer's to work upon. So
when people are able to tell what their
story is in one page Of type, they have
a pretty good chance with Zanuck

CAMERA MAY SOLVE
TELEVISION'S MAJOR PROBLEM
DR.. Zworykin of R. C.. A. Laboratories
Describes Use of Cathode Ray Tube
In New Invention.

door pictures, heretofore handicapped
by the need for more light than was
obtainable with mechanical systems and
by failure to get a sufficient number of
the picture elements which give details,
DR.. Zworykin said that "the inherent
resolution of the device is higher than
required for 10000 picture element
transmission
The tube, which has an overall
length of 18 inches and bulb 8 inches
in diameter, looks somewhat like an
oyergrown electric light, with an excep-
tionally long neck. In this neck is an
electron gun" that fires a beam OF
electronS against a mosaic plate a
inches square in scanning motion at
high speed. The mosaic plate is photo
sensitive and really consists of many
tiny photo-electric cells.
The picture is focused on the plate
by lens system and then transformed
into electrical energy by the sweeping
motion of the electric gun. The tube
can be mounted in comparatively
small box and set upon a tripod for
picture taking, thus giving easy port
ability.

CHICAGO, June 27-An electric
camera, believed by its inventor to solve
one of the major problems of teleVisiOn,
was announced yesterday after ten years
of research work, before the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science.
1t Is believed to place the televising
of outdoor scenes in the realm Of prac-
ticability.
The new device, called an "icono-
scope" by its designer, DR.. Vladimar
Zworykin of the r. c. A. laboratories
at Camden, N. j., was described in q
paper he delivered before the annual
convention of the Institute of Radio
Engineers as having a sensitive ap-
proximately equal to that of photo
graphic film operating at the speed of
a motion picture camera, with the same
optical or lens system"
DR.. Zworykin declared it opens new
prospects for high-grade television
transmission, and at the same time of
fers wide possibilities in its application
in many fields as a substitute for the
human eye, or for the observation Of
phenomena at present completely hid
den from the eye, as in the case of the
ultra violet microscope"
DR.. Zworykin has been active in de-
veloping the use Of the cathode ray
tube or "kinescope" for television re-
ception, and now has applied the same
principals to the transmitting end
Placing cathode ray tube at the
transmitter, as well as the receiver,
makes the entire process electrical and
obviates the necessity of scanning discs,
motors or other mechanical devices.
Research along similar lines has been
conducted in Philadelphia by Philo T.
FarnSworth.
In outlining results obtained with the
'iconoscope," DR.. Zworykin said that
some of the actually constructed tubes
are good up to 500 lines with a good
margin for future improvement" De-
tail of a television picture is governed
by the number of lines in the complete
picture, some of the earlier experiments
containing only "a lines.
The tube, he said. could be used mot
only for transmission of pictures in
visual light, but also for pictures invis-
ible to the eye in which the illumina-
ton is either by ultraviolet or infra
red light"
Declaring that "the real goal of tele-
vision" lies in the transmission of out

So. as the gun goes boom" twice she
assumes merely cold stare-and
marching after a minute or so, to the
telephone announces in jelly voice to
the police that there has been an acci-
dent"
In the next few minutes, of course,
she reforms At sight Of black haired
Mr.. Brent all her nice habits come back
to her, and but for one temptation
toward the end, she emerges as fear
less, noble young thing who is willing
to give up nice little suit case full of
S500000 to recuscitate a failing bank
and then goes out to Pittsburgh with
Brent to work out their futures to-

Barbara StanWyck.
1t has been a long time, in fact, since
she has had a role that Smacked of real
ity She is an extremely gifted young
actress whose ability is being run into
the ground Warner Bros. Is treat
ing her almost as shabbily as it is
George Brent who seems to be rele-
gated now to coming in during the last
10 minutes of a film, saying hello" to
the heroine, and then walking off with
her.
MOT only the films, however, are
playing havoc with Miss Star
wyck's bright career. In New York
a week ago she was to be seen gracing
a Broadway stage in revue called
''Tattle Tales" in which she was IN
fortunately relegated to second place,
husband Frank Fay assuming the stel-
lar spotlight. There, it is said, Miss
StanWyck blasted midnight eve
nings by her characterizations Of eX-
screen portraitures While Manhattan
sizzled, she revived bits of Ladies CT
Leisure" and other film hits, and she
wondered why audiences liked them
only moderately we'll
1t is almost a major tragedy to
dissipate Miss Stanwyck's talents in
this way She is one of the younger
school who can be so easy before the
camera that she seems scarcely to be
acting at all While she has never
been roaring beauty, she is nice of
face and so agreeable Of manner that
you can't help wondering why she
should be planted under a watery
blond wig, with lines in her face, and
presented as low-down huzzy
Miss Stanwyck was, of course, yanked
straight from the "burlesque" school Of
acting. BY that We mean the play
from which began her screen career.
1t was "Burlesque" which punctured
the eyes of the film chiefs and landed
her with great big juicy Hollywood
contract. 1t was "Burlesque" that
proved what an easy-going "arteeste"
Miss Stanwyck could be.
Now it is time for her to be given
story-not just character" Plots
for Miss Stanxyck these days are
about as believable as was Miss Chat
terton's Lilly Turner" As long as
you slip off the primrose path and then

CHAPTER III.
THE SWORD CLOCK.

r WAS sitting facing the windows,
which, in turn, faced the court.
They were Curtained up to about
Il the height of a mans shoulders.
The outside shutters had not
been closed, and was looking idly at
the black, shining window, which re-
fected, above. the crystal -bedecked
chandelier, and thinking that the
wind was increasing in violence, for
I could hear it rattle the shutters, when
I suddenly perceived that 1 was look
ing straight into the face of Lovschiem.
I could see only the upper half of his
face, but it was unmistakable.
The rather disturbing thing was that
he was staring with curious intensity
al the woman with silver heels. I put
down the glass I held, and the motion
caught his eyes, which flickered TO me
and vanished in the same half second.
It had been Lovschiem. in flesh, how
ever: I was sure of that. But If a
man wishes to look in the windows Of
his own hotel I suppose he may do so,
unpleasant though his gaze may be.
I loitered a little over some pears,
rather hoping the girl with the silver
heels would leave first, so l might ger
a glimpse Of her face. But she did not
move, even after the porter had cleared
the table and disappeared.
I rose at length, rejecting that. after
al. it was better to let the vision Of
beauty remain without running the risk
OF disillusionment, and that the room
was growing colder and colder.
The lounge was deserted, and the
parlor was dark. told the porter TO
light a fire in my room and serve me
coffee and brandy there.

moments later

watching him lay kindllng. He glanced
obviously toward the chimney, said
something about the north wind. and

that splendid French gesture which
utterly disclaims responsibility for what
