DETAILING THE
RISE AND FALL
OF A FIGHTER
"Personality Kid" at
Metropolitan, Another
Story OF Prize Ring.

''The Personality Kid" at the
Metropolitan this week. tells of the
rise and fall and the imminent res
direction Of prizefighter who want
ed to be champion and his wife who
wanted grape farm and some chill
dren. There Is nothing TO the story more
pretentious than that. except for the
customary hokum trimmings. but per-
haps because 1t Is given essentially
honest treatment and two sincere
performances by Pat OBrien and
Glenda Farrell. as the priZeflghter
and his lady, the picture turns out
to be better than average affair.
As manager of the good-natured
and somewhat bumptious middle
weight pug Ritzy, his wife had but
one idea-to get enough money and
get out of the game. She had little
confidence Il him as a dealer of
death in the manly art of modified
murder, but she was shrewd enough
to realize he might be built up into
a box Office number by a bit of clown
ing In the ring. That idea was, Of
course, quite correct, and when she
had trained her meal ticket to use
tap dancing for his footwork and
otherwise put on a medicine show for
the cash customers, she found some
Of the smarter promoters around
town ready to take over Ritzy for a
build-up.
Believing himself a lad with lethal
powers inside the ropes Ritzy went
through a series Of victorious fights
leading straight 10 the championship
before he discovered that the tri-
umphal march was a set-up. When
he learned his wife. who was inter-
ested in the proceeds and not the
ethics OF the business, had been q
party to the phoney doings, he walked
out on her, made a lot of noise about
the crooked work. and was disbarred
by the boxing commission as a fighter
who had been mixed up in scandals.
Ritzy went ION the bum" His
deserted spouse worked while, and
was taking time out to have an
infant when he quite unintentionally
found her again. Hard up for money,
he agreed to take the dive" in
cheap fight, and then couldn't do it
after he heard between the fourth
and fifth rounds, of course) that he
was the proud sire of boy. The
promoters around the ringside in
this fight, and a sports writer given
to that unhappy habit of calling q
fake fake, suddenly saw great posSi-
bilities in the Personality Kid" and
as his little hour on the screen ends
yoll are assured that he is about IN
be the champ in no time at all.
This rather trite procession of events
is considerably enlivened, we promise
you, by Miss Farrell and Mr.. O'Brien,
and likewise aided by the pleasing
presence Of young lady named Claire
Dodd, cast as magazine illustrator
with heart of steel and gold.
The Metropolitan program includes
a series of shorts and news pictures
taking you everywhere from the East
Indies to your own back yard.

Hill. who had been working with
his former wife. Frances Marion, on
the script Of '"The Good Earth" had
recently returned from China, where
he had made some shots for the back
ground Of the picture. A few days
ago he went 10 Lake Arrowhead on
a vacation trip. He returned with
package which later turned out to
be an automatic.
He was working at NJ. G. NJ. studio
UP TO 6 O'Clock. His valet made him
some dinner. saw that he was COM
Portable for the night in the beach
house he occupied, then left for his
own lodgings. Later in the evening
Hill telephoned to ask where the pack
age was that he had brought back
from Arrowhead. The valet told him.
HIS body was found with bullet
in the brain. The gun had been fired
twice-the first time into the ceiling,
apparently to test the working quality
Of the weapon.
A head injury and some internal
injuries following an accident TO Hill
some months ago are given by the
studio as the only possible cause for
suicide. At the time Of the accident
Hill was driving on the Santa Monica
speedway and ran into a telephone
pole to avoid hitting some children
who came suddenly out of an alley
way.
A possible reconciliation with Fran
ces Marion was hinted from time
to time by those knowing the couple.
Following their divorce they had been
on very friendly terms and their
work together went on uninterrupted.

THE United States has nearly
L 5000 miles of seacoast, and in
addition chains Of lakes and many
sweeping rivers. Each year thou
sands of swimmers and non-swim-
mers flock to this water, seeking
respite from the summer heat. And
at the close of the vacation season
a tragic annual toll Of about 5000
deaths from drowning is counted,
due to ignorance and carelessness.
All of this vast waterfront can be
made almost accident-proof by fol-
lowing instructions prepared by the
American Red Cross Life Saving
Service, author of a gigantic safety
program which already has cut
down drowning accidents by a sub
stantial margin.
Simple rules as set forth by the
Red Cross are as follows:
In selecting a site for a camp
whether permanent or for the week
end-fnd one which will combine, if
possible, deep water for proficient
swimmers and shallow water for be-
ginners. Have the beginners pool
roped in on three sides.
Never go swimming alone. Find
"water buddy" to go with you.
Solitary swimmers often lose their
lives at beachfront and pool. The
"buddy" system lessons the hazard
of drowning by providing two voices
to call for help, two pairs of eyes to
watch for danger, and one swimmer
to support the other in an emer-
gency, such as cramps or sudden ex-
haustion.
Never dive into water that you do
not know. First wade or Jump into
