Charity Continues

1t is a story that seldom gets
out, this quiet and unpublicized
charity that goes on day after
day, for the screen city is practi-
cal in its help. 1t does not lecture
its poor, nor does it dole 1t
meager baskets of food and {, :
and let the cases rest with thai.
Interesting to note is the fact
that HollyWood's poor are never
paupers, and that official police
reports show that less than l2 Of
l per cent of its beggars never
worked in pictures.
Hollywood gives employment
and restores confidence. There is
the case of Jack Mulhall. Jacks
fall from the top ranks was
through a sudden whim of fate
an inexplicable hard luck that
struck him as it strikes at all
actors. Necessity forced him into
the extra ranks.
The news travelled to Cecil B.
DeMllle and the director gave him
few lines to say in Cleopatra" +"
And w. C. Fields helped the cause
along by giving this fine actor a
real role in THE Old Fashioned
Way"
Thus Mulhall is being helped
through and in way that could
not possibly offend the actor.
Among others aided in similar
ways are Betty Blythe, Mahlon
Hamilton, William Farnum, Bry-
ant Washburn, Mary McLaren,
Helen Cha adwic k, Alice Lake,

Of the summer and the icy blasts

Made from Gladys Hasty Car
rolls novel, the picture directed
by Alfred Green strives for no
highly dramatic effects, but it is
touchingly human, and little Jean

for appeal, a country girl who is
SO tender and patient and under

your heart. A sort Of Janet Gay

"AS the Earth Turns" has no

weakness from a box office stand

out reservation to those movie
customers who liked Cradle
Song" and who can enjoy a pic
ture without Slapstick and in

About BundIing

There has been more talk
about "bundling" since the Ma
tional Players opened on Monday
night than there Is about Dillin
ger. The Pursuit of Happiness
glorifies "bundling."
Actually bundling Is a vener'
able love making method. Books
have been written about it. And
many poems. Mr.. Cochran can
supply you with three poems on
bundling if you're curious for the
lyrical arguments for and against
the practice.
The standard work on the
practice is called "Bundling, Its
Origin, Progress and Decline in
America" by Henry Reed Stiles,
You may read it at the Con-
gressional Library. It is further

Fox Needs Story
Like "Cisco Kid

A general call, unique in its
purpose, was issued at Fox Film
headquarters both in New York
and Hollywood last week. Through

the nation was appealed to for

for Warner Baxter's next star.

AGREEMENT NEAR
ON DEPOSIT BILL
Conferees Extend Tempo.

Raised to $1,000.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Congressional conferees announced
a virtual agreement today on legisla-
ton to extend the temporary deposit
insurance law and give added help to
depositors In closed banks.
The conferees said they had agreed
to extend the temporary deposit in
surance law for a year, with pro-
vision for covering deposits up to
$4,000 instead of up to $4,000 as at
present.
House Change Compromised.
The House amendment to extend
aid to depositors in closed banks
through the Deposit Insurance Cor
poration was compromised to pro-
vide for more liberal loans to closed
banks through the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation.
The Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration would be authorized to lend
to closed banks on reasonable" rather
than adequate" security.

tend for one year the date on which
banks which are not members OF the
Federal Reserve System must become
members in order to remain in the
deposit insurance corporation.
The law provided they must thus
qualify by July 1. 1885. but the House
bill would repeal this provision alto
gether. The conferees compromised
by extending the period until July
l, 1897.
Agree to Authorize Loan.
Instead Of the House provision to
guarantee the debentures of the F.
D. I. c., the conferees agreed to au-
thorize the r. F. C. to lend the In
surance corporation $250,ooo,ooo on
demand.
The conferees also agreed to repeal
a provision of the 1888 banking law
raising the minimum qualifying shares
Of bank directors to $2,500 of stock.
Chairman Fletcher Of the Senate
conferees said he expected a final
agreement on the bill to be reached
this afternoon.
One of the proposals still under
consideration, he said, is to extend
the deposit insurance law to Hawaii
and Alaska. He forecast this would
be approved.
