Plays Role of a Queen.

ANITA LOUISE, former child actress
and now a highly attractive and
promising ingenue, has been signed
by Warner Bros. for the role Of Marie
Antoinette in Madame Du Barry"
starring Dolores Del Rio, according
to wire from the coast. The period
in which the action of the picture
takes place Is that in which the
youthful Marie Antoinette came
from Austria to marry the Dauphin
Of France, later King Louis XIV.
Among the leading players in the
large company supporting Miss Del
Rio are Osgood Perkins, Reginald

But what Hollywood can and must

Young Fairbanks sailed for England

here began to feel that too many

Still more names" were eyeing that

Steadily the propaganda began to
roll. 1t was to the effect that Fair

Irene In New York.

RENE DUNNE arrived In New York
on Wednesday morning on her
usual between-picture vacation with
her husband, having Just completed
her co-starring role with Richard Dix
in "Stingaree" at the R-K-O Radio
Picture studios in Hollywood.
AS is well known, Miss Dunno has
an understanding with her producing
company whereby she may sandwich
in trip East upon the completion of
her pictures. With the completion Of
"Stingaree" Miss Dunno has made a
round dozen pictures, and with but
few exceptions she has made her
Eastern trek between studio assign

Movements might have determined

Movements might have determined
that attitude, 1t all came back to the
question Of love, loyalty and home.
Fairbanks was quoted In local papers
as saying he would return to California
and build a superb ranch In the San
Fernando Valley. This ranch project
has long been an idea of his. The
statement, which had nothing to do
with a reconciliation between him and
Mary, would seem to be sop to mo-
ton picture industry enthusiasts who
were graciously prodding him into a
reconciliation in order that the wheels
Of gelatine life might settle into the
smooth grooves that have been worn
for them through the years, before
England came along with q scraper
and started a new roadbed.
Ambassador Karl Kitchen Is said to
have carried a dove Of peace from
Mary Pickford to Fairbanks. Kitchen
has been intimately associated with
the famous pair in a writing way for
some time. He may have carried
papers of far different type for Fair
banks okay. Mary Pickford doubt
less would not care to publish a life
story unless Fairbanks was satisfied
with the things she said about their
Joint life and careers In Hollywood.
1t may all work out in a reconcilia-
ton that would make the film barons
here breathe more freely-little cupids
that they are.

Little Chance that West

BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

T HOLLYWOOD, Calf, April IA.
- Hollywood is eager to
i maintain its position as the
world center of Cinema. Sew
eral happenings in the last
year have jolted that hope a trif1e, so
Hollywood Is making strenuous efforts
to spike any attempts to spread the
gelatine layer into new territory.
Some three years ago-Shortly after
"talkies" were established as a per-
manent feature-a great hubbub arose
about the industry being divided
equally on the two coasts. After quite
f1are-up it died out because Of the
fact that the men who control this
industry we're too heavily involved out
here to consider expanding 5000
miles away, when that expansion
would leave part of their expensive
equipment here absolutely idle.
The next two scares came with the
separation of Mary Pickford and

EDITORIAL

The manner in which information con-
corning the plans of the Virgin Islands
Compa ny trickles through various cnan- :
nels leaves the persons who should be
taken into the confidence of the Govern
ment without the proper information.
To 90 back toMr Tausig's and Mr. Clicks
appearance at an informal citing of
the Colonial Council: Mr.. Tausig is Pre-
sident of the American Mo!asSes Com
many. He accompanied GovernorPearson
to the Virgin Islands, Mr.. G lick is
solicitor of the Department of the Int
rior who came here Oh some matterscon-
corning the Federal Government. Mr..
Heath was also present he is Vice
President of the Boston Molasses Com
pany and from information reaehlng
here through the ST. Thomas press he
is supposed to be the general mana
ger of the Virgin Islands Company.
At this conference of Councilmen
Governor Pearson asked Mr.. Tausig
to explain the purposes of the charter.
He pulled paper from his pocket and
read few paragraphs. Mr.. Tausig ex-
planned that the charter would have
been registered and the Company there
fore incorporated in Delaware or some
other State of the Union, but that
Governor Pearson asked to let the
Company incorporate under the laws
of st. Croix. They told all about tbs
conference with President Roosevelt
and his interest in what they were
doing
We understood at that time that MIR.
Tausig had been requested by tine Pre-
sident to make study of the question
of using the million dollars for helping
to rehabiltate the sugar cane and It's
products. The discussion at the con-
ference gave the impression that the
matter before the councilmen had had
the Presidents approval.

Fri. Mch. Is

Mr.. 1ausig now informs the
President that the Colonial Council Of
St Groix plans to make the rum indus
try public monopoly end TO form puo.
lie corporation TO handle it. Legislation
proposed by the Government is now be-
fore the Council to make the manufac.
ture of rum puOllc monopoly and an
other bill to create the Virgin Islands
Company which would handle the mono.
poly is also before the Council This 100
has been introduced by the Government,
but we were advised that it had the Pre-
sident's approval.
The Colonial Council has been given
credit for the entire gigantic plan, ac-
cording to report in the New York
Times.
@ lestions relating TO the Bill were
answered by MIR. Click the lawyer who
drew the charter In the course of his
explanations he said it was a standard
form of subsistence homestead corpora
ton charter, and that was why it even
contained the clause Of eminent domain.
We told Mr.. Click that if he had the
experience or knowledge of local co ndi-
tons he would have realized that there
would be no need for exercising the
right OF eminent domain to secure land
for homesteads in st. Croix as there was
more land for sale than there were per.
sons to occupy when divided into par
cells.
1t was apparent that charter of this
nature with these sweeping powers was
necessary fer the large pubic lands
turned over to different groups for dis
tributon and development.
The laws adaptable to some spe' :
cal section of q country where all of the
people are subsistence homesteaders
would be entirely unsuitable to apply to
our municipality.
IL could never be the desire of Presi-
dent Roosevelt TO set up a condition that
would force the citizenry to five and ten
acre plots or to farming when these citi
zens have been accustomed TO earn
livelihood in various lines of occupation.
Since there is no desire in Washington
to infict such punishment upon those
who are neither trained nor able to per-
form such labor, there seems to be no
necessity for arming any company with
