MOVIES CAREFUL ::
T0PREVENT LIBEL
Spend Much Money Guard
ing Against Verdicts Like
One in London.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD. Calf, March g.
Libel is Hollywood's bogey. A pro-
ducer's spine shivers at the word.
The movie men spend much time
and money guarding against verdicts
like that in which Princess 1rena
Youssoupoff won a s126.000 Judgment
against Metro Goldwyn Mayer in
London.
Many films, like written words, are
potentially laden with libel, defama-
tion of character or SANDER. Busi-
ness-wise Hollywood approaches even
the most innocuous plot with a fine
toothed legal comb to smooth out
kinks that might develop into court
room tangles.
When the film subject Is historical
or biographical, as was the case with
"Rasputin and the Empress" the pic
ture that Princess Irena said libeled
her. the legal combs are finer still.
and yet-as the verdict in this case
might ndicate-sometimes not fine
enough.
Invariably, except in the case of
established historical characters, fic-
tional names are given screen char
acters even though they are based on
men and women who actually lived
and did the things-or some Of the
things-attributed to them by the
ScenariSt
Addresses and telephone numbers
are pitfalls for the unwary producer
as well as names. If any questionable
action is staged at a house whose
city and street are identified, the
number on the house will be fictitious.
Telephone numbers also are painstak-
ingly unreal.
Mythical kingdoms are the usual
escape from possible controversy with
foreign countries and with persons of
noble rank Burkes Peerage is
scrutinized carefully to avoid naming
movie earl. duke or prince after a
real one.
Paramount won a notable victory
in suit over THE Covered Wagon"
Descendants of one of the characters
said the film DETAINED their ancestors.
The court refused damages, invoking
the principle that there can be no
civil libel of the dead.
In films Involving characters still
living the studios seek signed "re-
leases" to incorporate those charac-
ters.

you. Fight it! Not with halfway
measures which strike at merely one,
two or three symptoms. Be modern.
Overwhelm your cold with the mass
attack" method. Fight the symotOms
in eight different trays at once.
That is precisely what Doctor
Platt's Rinex Prescription does.
Rinex neglects no symptom, over
looks no evidence of misery. Your
head is all clogged up, your nose con-
gested. Sniffle . sneeze >. wheeze.
Your brain refuses to work. Each of
these things means something. At
tack them all at once, with Rinex,
and see how much better you feel,
in every way, in 80 minutes.

OF course, I will admit that Holly
wood probably offers more tests for a
persons stability than do other less
glittering and exciting places. The
very nature of the town, its uncertain
ties, its opportunities for vast rewards
today and absolute failure tomorrow,
make it easy to be swept off ones feet.
Therefore, you must work harder at
keeping your sense of stability.
I think that all rules on how to be
happily married are the bunk. That
is one of the things about which you
can't make cut and dried rules. You
have to figure out your own individual
case. The one general rule which
would apply to all marriages is SIM
plicity. That seems to me to be the
keynote of happiness.
In looking around the town, have
discovered that the happiest people
are the simplest ones. Take, for in
stance, Jean Hersholt and his wife
They have been married for more
than 20 years; they have worked to-
gether from the days when Jean was
a struggling young actor. Yet they
haven't changed fundamentally. They
have better home. more expensive
cars and clothes, but they still enjoy
the simple things, the really impor-

WASHINGTON ARTISTS
HEARD IN RECITAL
Helen Ware, Violinist, and Louis
Potter, Pianist, Give Inter
esting Program.
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.


For the first of the three sonata re-
citals announced by Helen Ware, vio-
linist,. and Louis Potter, pianist, the
program was made up of Beethoven s
Sonata No. 10. Op. &c." Brahms
Sonata in A Major" and Goldmark's S
Suite in E Major" The interest in
this type of chamber music was evi-
dent by the size of the audience
gathered last evening in Barker Hall
to hear these two musicians, admir-
ably qualified to present such a pro-
gram.
The sound musicianship of both
Miss Ware and Mr.. Potter showed in
the careful and musical manner in
which the program was delivered. An
understanding of the exact character
OF each composition and a technical
proficiency far above the average were
the pleaSurable qualities that gave
force to the readings of these artists
Their serious approach to the task be-
fore them gave highly artistic flavor
to the we'll chosen program.
The ensemble has not yet attained
the finest equilibrium, due principally
to the difference in tone power. In
many moments Mr.. POtterS more
soncrous piano tone overshadowed the
violin and intruded little too promi-
nently. Miss Ware plays with the
authority Of firm and controlled bow
ing, but the tone lacked the carrying
power one expected of it. This may
have been due to the effect of the
hav al ,1l~
less resonant than at previous hear
ings. Miss Ware plays with broad
phrasing and artistic violinistic ef-
fects that add color to her work.
Sure double stops. clean-cut chords
and an unusually clear pizzicato were
outstanding evidence of her solid me-
chanical foundation.
Mr.. Potter'S remarkably fine tone is
OF decidedly solo character and his
innate musicianship, SO prominent in
his general Interpretation, did not
quite subordinate its volume in the
unison work. The two musicians gave
a well planned rendition of the Bee
thoven sonata and imbued the
Brahms with poetic significance espe-
cially in the "Andante tranuuillo."
Goldmark's Suite is not particularly
original in its themes and Is long
drawn out in form, but the artists
worked up to beftting climax that
contained more abandon than the
other numbers. The audience was a
highly appreciative ono and recalled
the artists several times after each
number. The next recital will take
place Wednesday, March 81.

II Miss Garbo is to be stamp, and
is to take her place along with George
Washington and Whistler'S Mother
(the latter having only recently
crashed the postal division), then We
rather wish she would be valued at
more than l krona, which apparently
is her weight in gold. If the Swed-
ish government definitely decides to
to issue Miss Garbo around the world
on it's stationery, she might, me-
thinks, be given slightly higher
rating, although to get Garbo in the
morning mail along with your coffee
and rolls will be definite stimulous
to the days trade and should make
letter writing from Stockholm a wild
ly exciting adventure.
We are told by the messenger of
these glad tydings that when Miss
Garbo appears as stamp her 'myste-
riously lidded eyes will be "empha-
sized" We do not know what else
is to be emphasized, but judging from
the size of a normal stamp this eye
business should be fairly complicated,
since you will observe that George
Washington's eyes, as he peers at you
from the morning mail, are a good
deal smaller than buckshot. If Miss
Garbo's eyes are to be 'lidded" on a
postage stamp, then they must neces-
sarily be almost if not entirely shut,
and so veiled in mystery and brood
ing that we are quite certain the
recipients Of Garbo mail will never
<vofI I,
ing their correspondence.
Garbo being thus honored in her
own country, isn't it time for us to
do the same? Up until a few years
ago Mary Pickford would have made
a neat little stamp, and, if the postage
boys 60 in for eyes, why after all, We
have Miss Joan Crawford's elegant
Orbs to illuminate our own mails.
Then, too, We do not believe that the
Paramount company would object to
having the star of She Done Him
Wrong" stuck on paper. Miss Mae
Vests beacon smile being something
that all good citizens would appreciate
having on their billets-doux.
A star as stamp is. however, some
thing quite new, and judging from the
enormous prestige given Sweden
through the many and complicated
talents of its major star, then we must
congratulate both the postal division
and the star for making good. We
may be wrong. but we do not recall
that either Bernhardt, Duse or Noel
Coward have ever been so honored.
