JANE IS
NEWEST STAR

She cannot read or write. She
forgetS her lines and then makes
up her own version. She pokes
fun at her director. In spite of
this Baby Jane made such an i'm
preston in her first Universal talkie
role that she was signed to a long
term contract. This contract COW
ers twice as many years as her
present age. She won it for her
work in Imitation of Life" as the
daughter of Claudette Colbert. who
is starred with Warren William in
t the screen version of Fannie
Hurst S novel which will be the fea-
ture attraction at the United Ar
fists tomorrow.
Every day Jane brought her toys
with her to the studio while she
was acting in the Fannie Hurst
film. She had an Aunt Jem-
ina doll with a bandanna handker-
chief on its head. Before she
would go on the set to act she
would sit this doll in her own cam
vas chair. On its lap she set a
small China teacup with a broken
handle. This cup is one of her
most treasured possessions.
Now and then Jane would forget
the next word in her lines and put
in one of her own. Occasionally
they were improvements because
they were more like what child
would say. In such cases, the cor
rection was allowed to stand on the
sound track and director John M.
Stahl would give Jane an ice-cream
cone.
Stahl got into the habit of ens
couraging the tot by saying at the
completion of her scenes "That was
a good one. - Soon, after every
scene was finished, whether she
was in it or not, Jane piped up In
perfect imitation of the director
"That was a good one. - Jane is
now starring in her second Univer-
sal picture, Straight from the
Heart,' which was specially writ
ten for her. Roger Pryor and Mary
Astor are also starred in this pro-
duction.

AUSTRALIA AND US

Yesterday the house of representatives
at Canberra, Australia, voted grant of
$4,000 to Mrs. Charles Ulm, widow of
the Australian aviator who disappeared
10 days ago while flying from San Fran
cisco 10 Hawaii, and whom it is pre-
sumed, was drowned at sea with his COM
panions.
1t is a splendid gesture on the part of
the Australian government and merits
the commentator of the rest of the
world Captain Ulm had highly meri-
torious record as an aviator. He had,
however, done nothing particularly and
specifically for the Australian govern
ment, except to bring aviation glory to
his country. Most of his flying, includ-
ing the one on which he met his death,
was in commercial adventure.
The consideration with which the Aus
tralian government treats Captain Ulm's
widow, contrasts so sharply with the at
toward the widows of men who laid down
their lives for it, that mention of it can
not be overlooked
Only few days before Captain Ulm dis
appeared, two department of justice men,
Sam Cowley and Herman Hollis, fell in
battle with Baby Face" Nelson, the ma
tion's No. bandit. They died not know
ing that their bullets had also killed
Nelson.
Both men leave families but there has
been nothing done for them by the Unit
ed States government. They don't even
get medal as recognition of the gov
ernment s appreciation of men who died
for it. 1t is reliably reported that Cow
ley and Hollis could not get insurance
because of their hazardous calling.
There is no fund to help support the
widows and children whom they left.
