Movie Can1era1lar
Picks Composites
For Beauty Roles
Not a Perfect Face IL,
Blond or Brunette
Realm, Says Richee.
By the Associated Press.


HOLLYWOOD, December l5.-On
the occasion OF his sixteenth ami
versity as a movie portrait photogra-
pher, Eugene Robert Richee paused
to observe that never in his expert
ence Of photographing hundreds OF
stars had he seen perfect face.
Richee Is too diplomatic to tell us
what the defects of some famous
faces are, but he infers that through
the eye of his camera finder even the
best of them have faults which we
nom critical ones never see. And also,
rather then name the most beautiful
actress he ever has photographed
Richee picks the perfect composite"
blond" and perfect composite bru-
nette."
His blond would have the eyes of
Marlene Dietrich, the hair of Carole
Lombard, the lips of Joan Bennett,
the nose Of Loretta Young, the fore
head of Ann Harding, the teeth of
Jean Harlow, the chin of ELISA Landi,
the eyebrows of Lilisy1 Harvey and the
complexion Of Mae West.
And here's his perfect brunette
Frances brakes eyes, Norma Shear
er's hair, Claudette Colbert's lips
Jean Parker's nose, Dolores Del Rios
forehead, Helen Mack's chin, Kay
Francis teeth, Sylvia Sidney's COM
plexion and Janet Gaynor's eye
brows.
And II your idea Of beauty includes
dimples, Richee will let the blond
have those of Shirley Temple and the
brunette those of Cora Sue Collins
Richee, who went to work in 1915
for Mack Sennett, got as his first as
signment Charlie Chaplin and Louise
Fazenda in a loving pose.

Il know. know 1t is the blood
Of my first-born. He is the sin. He
must be wiped out"
She was beginning to back away,
Mazda realized. She crept along after
her, resolving that she would not let
the distance between them get too
great. They were outside the door OF
the nursery now, and as one of the
babies walled, Mrs. Rings face lighted
up with mad eXaltation, and she NUT
tered, "A sign. 1 have been led to
the right door"
With the words, Mazda leaped on
her. She did not know how long she
could keep the woman out of the
nursery, but somehow she knew that
insane fury would not be permitted
to destroy the innocent babies lying
helpless in their baskets. MAZDA did
not even consider running for help.
Left alone five minutes, the mad
woman would make the nursery a
shambleS. Mazda tried to pinion her
arms. tried to grab the scissors. If
she could only wrench them away and
throw them far down the corridor.
so that she could put out Of her mind
the haunting picture of Mrs. Rings
enormous hand, jabbing, jabbing-
Mazda kicked those massive legs, and
hung grimly to the woman's arms.
In vain. Mrs. Ring tossed her aside
as If she had been doll; but Mazda
scrambled to her feet. flinging her
self into the attack again.
At last the Woman's fury against
her was aroused. Before she had
been so utterly intent upon getting
into the nursery to offer up her sac
rifice that she had merely thrown
Mazda out of the way. Now she
seized Maida's throat in one huge
paw. The other hand, the one still
clutching the scissors, was held aloft.
In one sick instant, Mazda was per-
fectly sure of her purpose. She meant
to drive those blunt points into her
pull away. While the woman's arm
was tensed to prevent this. Mazda did
the only thing possible to save her
eyes. Instead of drawing away, she
threw herself forward upon the wo-
mans breast. She burrowed there
desperately, feeling the sharp stabs
of pain which meant the blows from
the scissors we're falling on her arms,
her shoulders, wherever the flail-like
blows of Mrs. Rings strong arms
could hit her.
The front of Maida'S uniform had
been torn open in the struggle and
she could feel warm blood trickling
down her chest. 1t lasted only a few
seconds. Mazda was growing weak
and dizzy, yet still clinging to that
murderous breast, hearing the thump-
ing of the maniac's powerful heart,
when she became aware of a confused
noise of running feet, sharp orders
we're being given, and she was lifted
out of harms way. She opened her
eyes to see Mrs. Ring fighting the
straight jacket, and in the back
ground the door of the nursery.
Thank God it was still closed and the
lusty walls from within came from
nothing worse than hunger. With a
long sigh of relief, Mazda tainted.

OHIO PLAN SEEKS
TO MERGE HOUSES
Would Redistrict State and Ap'
portion Legislators on Popu-
lation Basis.
pecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, September g.
A plan to change the Ohio Legislature
into a one-house body has been pro-
jected here.
Declarations Of representatives OF
the States big cities that the lower
house of the Legislature is dominated
by a corn stalk" club of rural legisla-
tors gave impetus to the idea.
Now a definite plan, drafted by a
committee of the Cincinnati Chamber
of Commerce, is being considered by
other civic groups to determine
whether to rally behind it in a ref
erendum on a constitutional amend
ment.
The plan proposes a one-house Leg
islature to meet once a month rather
than once every two years, as the
Legislature now assemblies. Discard
ing old divisions of the State. it would
have representative for each 125 900
persons resident in Ohio. 1t would
make provisions to insure the centers
of population the proportion Of legis-
lative representation its proponents
think they should have.
Thus, under its provisions, the eight
most thickly- populated counties of the
State would, on the basis of the 1880
census, have 80 of the 54 seats In
a single-house lawmaking body.
Federal census figures would deter
mine the districting of the State, the
number of legislators and which of
the States SO counties would be rated
as metropolitan areas" entitled to
elect their own representatives apart
from rural regions.
The State would be divided into II
General Assembly districts" which, in
turn, would be subdivided into units
of 125, 900 population, each entitled to
elect a legislator. surplus popula-
tions of $4,000 or more would entitle
an area to legislator.
Counties having 125 900 population
or more would be rated metropolitan
areas" They would comprise subdis-
tricts in themselves, electing represent
atives of their own.
The legislators would serve four
years, drawing reasonable" mileage
and $1,000 salaries, payable semi-an-
nually.
