alarm on the night of the tragedy;
DR.. John F. Condor, Jafsie Of the
want ads; John Hughes Curtis, hoax
perpetrator in negotiating for the
babys return, and others of lesser
prominence.
All except Curtis will be star
witnesses for the state in its attempt
to send Hauptmann to the electric
chair for the murder of Charles A.
Lindbergh Jr. Curtis, the Norfolk
(Va9 shipbuilder, made his bid to
testify, yesterday, but was received
coldly by the prosecution.
He was represented as offering to
testify that he met Hauptmann and
conducted negotiations with him in
March, 1882. His concession, made
to police before his trial on a
charge of obstructing justice, adj
mitted his entire story was pure
fabrication. In view of this the
prosecution probably would not care
to call Curtis.
The defense, however, might try
to substantiate a theory that Curtis
actually was in touch with a gang
which might be presumed to be the
actual kidnapers. Building up Of
such a theory might tend to weak
en- the states case against Haupt-
mann.
In addition to Colonel and Mrs.
Lindbergh, Miss Cow and DR.. Con-
don, Atty. Gen. David T. Wilentz
was known to have three
surprise witnesses Their connec-
ton with the case has not been dis
closed, but they were believed to be
Identification witnesses intended to
break down Hauptmanns alibi.
The state checked the scene of
the kidnapping late yesterday under
guidance of Col. Lindbergh, who re-
turned to the house of sorrow in the
Sourland Mountains. Mr.. WilentZ
and his assistant, Robert Peacock,
went over the house and grounds.
1t was presumed that Col. Lind
bergh re-enacted his movements the
night Of the kidnapping
Doubt as to whether Mrs. Lind
bergh would be called to aid the
state was set at rest by an an
nouncement from prosecution head
quarters. Her testimony will be
offered to establish the time of the
kidnapping, about 9:10 p. m, the
night of March /, 1882.
In the midst of feverish prepara-
tions and with knowledge of the
lengthy ordeal he must face, prob
ably a month or longer. Hauptmann
showed no signs of nervousness. The
German maintained the stolid air
which has characterized his mien
since his arrest in New York City.
He appeared coldly contemptuous
of the states efforts to prove that
he murdered the Lindbergh baby
His attorneys seemed confident.

FARMER ENJOYS
PROSPERITY

Prosperity is returning to the
American farmer, according to the
latest report of Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace to President
Roosevelt.
In 1882, the average farmer,
after paying interest, taxes and
expenses of production, had moth
ing left as a return for his capt.
tai and management. In 1898,
for the first time since 1929, the
farmer had left a small balance
after all his expenses were paid.
Prospects are for additional gains
in 1884 and everything looks very
bright for the farmer, the report
said.
The total cash income of farm
ers from the sale of farm products
for the year 1884, including rem
tai and benefit payments and in
come from the sale of cattle, sheep
and goats to the AAA, is esti.
mated at approximately $6,OO0,-
100000. This estimate is based
upon an analysis of farm produc-
tion in 1884, probable prices and
marketings of farm products dur
ing the last five months of the
year, and cash income during the
first seven months of the year as
previously estimated.

TO accepted STANDARDS, IS not SUCH a
hardship if, in your own way you are
able to understand the lines you
speak, feel the mood they create, and
convey that feeling at least to some
degree to your audience.
To offset the risk of being inter-
preted as Sneering at good acting,
the reverse is true. In my opinion
Frederic March and Paul MUM
They know diction and when to
speak a line down" Such things
confuse me. when 1 am before the
cameras. Concentrating upon the
necessity of raising or lowering my
voice at the end of a phrase, I be-
come conscious only of the mechanics
of delivery. And my delivery, as a
consequence. becomes mechanical.
And so, within whatever limits Of
freedom may be countenanced by my
directors, l have ceased to be con-
cerned about reading lines this way
or that way and am interested only
in two things: First, grasping the
meaning of and the reason for a
line and, secondly, speaking it then,
as feel it.
BY doing that, actors have told
me, I at least have a chance to give
whatever character I am doing an
effect of reality-to make that per-
son live.
This was not at all difficult in
"Bolero," which I recently filmed at
Paramount, for the character was
dancer who progressed from humble
beginning in New York nickelodeons
and beer gardens to the proprietor
ship of his own night club in Paris.
1t happens that at one time 1 actu-
ally was hoofer. l danced at
Churchills' and Rector's in New
York, became featured in number
of Broadway productions and finally
made a tour of Europe. The thrills
and heartaches of the role were IA
miliar to me.
MY most recent picture, THE
Trumpet Blows" presented an en-
tirely different situation. In it ap-
pear as a novice matador. and while
I've been ball player, fighter and

Actors are born. Seldom are they
made, if ever. Schools may teach
many things which will be helpful in
the achievement of career on screen
or stage. But it is doubtful if a
school ever will make true actor
of a person who does not possess an
innate talent for hlstrionics. Such
talent, whether it has been inherited
from a theatrical ancestry or other
wise acquired, Is the basis of all real
acting.
A thorough education in languages.
literature and other subjects will be
helpful to any one who aSplres TO
success in any dramatic medium. 1
know a wider knowledge of such
things would have been extremely
helpful to me before now. So that
II ever I am considered an actor by
authorities qualified to Judge, the
attainment will result from something
within myself for which no amount
of schooling, but only hard expert
ence, may be credited.
