Washington. tUP)-Preiiminary steps toward the creation of the philippine Republic" which will arise in the Far East under Uncle Sam's auspices began today when POP delegates to the constitutional convention aret be elected.
 The convention, which is to draft the Constitution for the Commonwealth of the Philip pines" has been convoked by Gov ernor-General Frank Murphy to meet at Manila on July 30.
 The Tydings-McDuffie Inde- pendence Act provided that the convention should meet mot later than October 1, 1884" but Fili- pino independence leaders decided to speed up the process toward ultimate freedom. Originally 1t had been intended to hold the elec- tions for the convention on June 26, in order that it might convene on July 4-Independence Day of the United States-but later de- velopments caused short post ponement.
 This is the second election to stir the Philippine Archipelago

That next evening, for the first time in his life, Bill Wilkens ex- plored the edges of Greenwich Will lage. Never before had he real ized what. a picturesque city New York was. Why, some of these old houses, tenements as they were, looked like those in a New Eng land town, with their white fam lights over the doors, their wide clapboarding or rosy old bricks. It only needed few shady elms or naples to make the illusion com plete.
 And what interesting people Italians, French, Greeks, every thing. Dear, dear, what he had

world laugh when every moment OF
that work was agony. She gave her
personality to the world in that last
picture, knowing that she should be
resting-marshalling her forces for
big fight. She did it really against
the advice of her doctors. but in re-
sponse to the loud cries of the world,
a depressed and stricken world which
wanted her gift of laughter.
She gave them laughter, although
it was often at the price of her own
! tears Her eyes were bright with pain
at the end of many sequence which
left the audience doubled up in stitches
of mirth. The studio collaborated in
every way. She worked in brief
stretches, briefer than has ever been
allowed any other player. But even
then the medical men shook their
heads Marie Dressler must have

Behind Marie Dressler's smile is the
shadow of pain. But that has been
consistently the story of laughter. Its
attendant shadow is anguiSh-of the
heart, or the soul, or the body. If a

back to the screen for more pictures,
let us cherish every tiniest gesture,
every minute of by-play, knowing that
they have cost her dearly.

last night buckled down to business,
and by the second act every member
