Wood EIiminated-MrS.
Moody Wins.
BY the Associated Press.

WIMBLEDON, England. July L.
Donald Bulge, flaming redhead from
Oakland. Calf, sprang the biggest
upset of the all-England tennis cham-
pionships today when he upset Henry
Wilfred Bunny Austin. England's
second ranking player, 3-6, 10-8.
6-4, IS, to reach the semi final
round.
Rallying after dropping the first
| set. Mrs. Helen Wills Moody gained
the quarter finals of women's singles
with 3-6, "a, Ga victory over
Slecna Cepkova of Czechoslovakia.
Mile. Cepova was too tired to keep up
the fast pace she had set at the start.
Using the same terrific backhand
with which he had crushed Christian
| Boussus of France in the fourth
round, Bulge outlasted Austin in the
deuced second set and then took full
control of the situation to win and
keep America in the running for the
title now held by Fred Perry of Eng
land.
Wood Is Eliminated.
Budge's victory followed by some
hours the unexpected defeat of Sidney
Wood of New York, generally rated
Perry's most formidable challenger.
Wood was beaten by Jack Crawford
of Australia, Ga, 6-3, 6-8, ST,
6-1.
Woods defeat came as stunning
surprise to the American contingent,
particularly those looking ahead to
Davis Cup warfare few weeks hence.
The blond New Yorker generally
had been regarded as the most for
midable of Fred Perry's challengers
and had been hot favorite to win
over Crawford, whose play has been
far below standard in recent months.
Crawford's victory sent him into the
semi finals, where he will meet
Perry. The defending champion
played spectacular tennis as he elimi-
mated the towering Czech, Roderich
Mcneil, 81, 81, 81.
Won Cramm Advances.
Baron Gottfried Won Cramm, Ger
many's ranking player and second
seeded star, advanced to the penulti-
mate round at the expense of Vivian
McGrath of Australia in a four-set
triumph, Ga, 60, 4-6, 81.
Meanwhile Helen Jacobs, the Amer
ican title holder, moved into the quar-
ter-finals of women's singles with
60, 6-1 triumph over Mrs. E. c.
Peters of Great Britain.
Moving along with her were
Dorothy Round Of Great Britain, the
defending champion; Joan Hartigan of
Australia. Hilda Krahwinkel Sperling
of Germany, Nine. Rene Mathieu Uf
France and Kay Stammers, British
left-hander.
Mile. Jadwiza Jedrzejowska Of
Poland registered a Ga, 60 victory
over Eileen Bennett Whittingstall of
England to gain a berth in the round
of eight. Mile. Jedrzejowska's tri-
umph was an upset, coming as it
did a few days after the English girl
had disposed of the seventh seeded
player, Peggy Scriven, in straight sets
in an early round encounter The
Polish players next opponent will be
Miss Jacobs.
Miss Jacobs and Wilmer Allison ad-
vanced to the fourth round of mixed
doubles, defeating X. Lund of Ger
many and Mrs. 6. Lucas Of Great
Britain, 81, IS. In the second
round. Don Turnbull, Australia, and

HOLLYWOOD, March 12.-The
deafest ear ever turned to this
industry (Which is a bit un-
usual considering the rich har.
vest to be reaped herein) has
always been that of Katharine
Cornell, the celebrated stage &C.
tress. For years she has been
turning down the finest con-
tracts, the choicest roles and in
fact the best of everything the
cinema has to offer. 1t has just
been rumored however, that La
C. is lending a very attentive ear
to Ben Hecht and Charlie Nc
Arthur, who would like her to
hang over balcony a la Juliet.
It's a pleasure to bring to no
tice the instructive qualities OF
motion pictures. We all know
they are used in schools and
churches where educational prob
lens are made easier through
the showing of pictures during
lectures and sermons, but l
doubt if many know they are
considered a vital aid in over
coming insanity.
Walter Wanger, who produced
the stratling picture Private
Worlds" dealing with psychiatry,
has just received a letter from
DR.. Esther Bogen, MD. superin.
tendent of the Longview Psyche
pathic Hospital, Cincinnati, Ohio,
saying that in this institution
where there are 500 patients,
they have a "movie club" which
furnishes their only contact with
the outside world. According to
DR.. Bogen, Insanity results when
person retires into his own
imagination or private world and
our job is to lure them out again
into reality" Mr.. Wanger will
see that the picture is run at
this hospital free of charge, in
the hope that it may benefit
some of these unfortunate people.
In arranging a pictures prOduc-
ton schedule, the stars and sup
porting players are always mott
fled in advance if there is to be
any time off during the shooting.
Sometimes it is only a matter of
few hours, a half day, or, in
many cases, several days; but they
all look forward to these rest
periods. There is one exception
to this rule in the person of Will
Rogers, whose production sched-
uleS are always arranged so that

But don't bet on it. Instead she
is likely to make it up with Sam
Harris by appearing in a new

Try-outs Help
Try-out performances on the
stage, or the tuning-up engage

pose for producers, although they
give the "dog' cities a little the

to tighten up and polish up rough

tion pictures is similarly useful.
