HOLLYWOOD, Calf, April z.
T@HE majority of Honywood's
stars were divorced during the
last three years, making the
i period from 1881 to 1884 the
most prolific for changes in
marital relationships of any since this
colony had its inception.

people with whom they began married
life. In fact, I will 60 so far as to
say that there are only handful Of

years. came here in 1881 and I have
watched the so-called ideal marriages
Of this colony dissolve. The more
ideal the unions were-the greater
publicity couples achieved because OF
their idyllic domestic status-the
harder the fall.
"Well, Lionel Barrymore and Irene
Fenwick are still together. and John
Barrymore and Dolores Costello are
making 60 Of 1t, apparently. They'll
soon be calling them the marrying
Barrymores.' But look at the rest OF
our professionals"
We began to look. It's a sensa-
tional record. Beginning with Douglas
Fairbanks. sr.. and Mary Pickford and
going right through to Douglas, jr.
and Joan Crawford. Then run your
eyes over the list:
Maurice Chevalier and his wife
Yvonne Printemps, found that their
relationship, which had survived Paris
and other world centers. could not
survive Hollywood. William Powell

Still more Of surprise was the Kay

been in the difficult stage for some
time. But the Ann Harding and Har-

since they were regarded as a very

Miss Shearer is not, however, 100
per cent popular on the screen.
There are many schools of thought
about her. Those who do not think
she is perfect (and there are many
who do) think that she's either
merely a clothes horse or poser.
and that without Thalberg she
wouldn't be where she is. Jed Harris
says that he would never present her
in Broadway play (maybe he tried.
unsucceSsfully), and others are un-
comfortable when she tries to be kit
tenish and romps around as Mrs.
Patrick Campbell might playing Lit
tie Bo Peep.
We are inclined to agree with the
latter. To us, Miss Shearer is no
comedienne. She can be gay. she
can be charming, she can laugh and
sing. She can say amusing lines
amusingly. She can twist humor out
of humor. She can probably be the
life of party. But she cannot. by
her own little subtleties, sneak a
laugh out of the clouds and call it
her very own.
TIP UNTIL RIP Tide" we have
" in fact been slightly bored by
Miss Shearer. Her performances
have always suggested a great striv-
ing for effect-a smacking of too
great ambition-such as they say
Miss Hepburn has on the stage.
But with her current film we are
completely won over to that crowd
Of admirers who believe that she is
capable of anything. And this, be-
cause in that very last scene, in that
simple, human, and yet emotional
good-by that she has to say to Her
bert Marshall. she does everything
without seeming to do anything at
all-bringing a lump in your throat
and a moisture to your eyes before
you can say Jack Rabbit"
1t would be difficult to analyze Miss
Shearer's excellence in this scene. 1t
Is a matter. we think, having to do
with genuine artistry, ard therefore
not easily transmitted to rhyme or
reason. There is no question but that
here she neither struggles for effect
nor does anything save present her
self with as little fuss as possible to
the man to whom she knows she
cannot say permanent good-by. In
that brief moment she must have
felt that the entire being o: the film
was at stake. The director must have
said to her: Now then, Miss Shearer,
all you have to do is to say good-by
to Mr.. Marshall and the picture will
be done. But-and that but must
have caused the lady plenty of
thought-'put all you have into your
FAREWELL"
Miss Shearer then put everything,
and at the same time, nothing into
the scene. You could swear that she
had never been coached in it, and
that she simply walked up to Mar
shall and said her little say with
the necessary tear.

Five N. d. Counties
Clear Wheat Forms

Fargo, N. D., Apg. 15-(R)-Five
North Dakota counties, Benson,
Griggs, Sheridan, Eddy and Steele,
have cleared their compliance forms
for wheat allotment benefits. and
these have been forwarded to WASH
ington, it is announced by DR.. T. E.
Dinwoodie, supervisor.
These documents show that the
farmer has complied with the govern
ment requirements under his contract
agreeing to reduce wheat acres, and
is entitled to second payment on his
1888 production" DR.. Dinwoodie said.
After these forms have been check
ed in Washington mainly to see that
they are correctly filled out with
proper signatures attached, checks
will be forthcoming both for the sec
ond payment of 1888 and the first
payment for 1894.
1T is expected the payments will
be sent in two checks rather than in
one, covering both the 1893 balance
and the first 1894 installment.
THE second payment on the 1888
adjustment will be cents q bushel
less the cost Of administration within
the county on the allotted bushels to
each individual farmer. The first
payment for 1894 will be straight 20
cents bushel on allotted bushelage.
"From recent information we ex-
pect the first 1894 payment to be
made in October"

Production Relief in Ohio
Proves Boon to Thousands
State Backs Plan for 'Unem.
ployed COOPERATIVE; Idea
Spreading Fast

Cleveland, Aug. 15.-The movement
to establish production units" within
relief organizations is spreading rap
idly. Sometimes it takes form as a
mere local unemployed cooperative, y
such as became popular two years ago.
But in Ohio it comes closest to real
statewide organization.
Ohio, with one-sixth Of its people
to do something. Here's what it's
doing:
Within the state relief administra-
ton at Columbus has been created a
division of factories, headed by Boyd
Fisher. Under his leadership, Ohio
Relief Production Units, Inc, has
been established.
Fisher plans to take small part
Of the federal funds allotted to
Ohio for relief and use them to equip
and run idle factories in all parts Of
the state. Each community will make
such goods as 1t has plant equipment
and skilled labor to produce.
At Delaware. a woodworking plan.
Is already turning out furniture, and
40 women in another plant are max
ing women's and childrens dresses
(48O a day. At Toledo one plant is
turning out white goods.
AMBITIOUS PLANS LAID
Cleveland has leased factory in
which it plans to turn out eventually
as many as $4,000 mems suits year.
At Columbus. plans are we'll under
way for relief workers to build 10000
mattresses for relief families. Over
coats will be similarly made in Gin
clnnati. and hosiery in several cities.
About million dollars has been
made available for these projects with
ministration has nothing to do with
them except that it furnished the
money.
Eventually. when these units get
into production, national guard or
army trucks may be used to transport
the goods on an exchange basis from
one city to another for distribution
SYSTEM Is EXPLAINED
Here's how Ohio relief officials ex-

ship to the present economic system:
The federal government is already
furnishing millions OF dollars to state
relief organizations. A lot of its has
gone for mere made" work. Why not
use it for productive work? It's bet
ter for the workers. and the govern
ment gets something for its relief
dollar.
Clothes. for instance. In northern
Ohio. relief dependents are given no
clothes beyond pants and sweaters.
They can't hunt jobs that way. Why
not let them make their own suits
and overcoats?
ALLOWED EXTRA WORK
Privte industry won't be hurt, be-
cause the goods manufactured are
such as are not now being furnished
to the unemployed, and which they
can't buy Most of the money will be
spent for raw material, anyway. which
means more work for private produc-
ers Of such material.
