scribbling such bright little numbers
as the scripts of THE Thin Man"
lin collaboration with his wife,
Frances Goodrich) and Naughty
Marietta" He now rates five stars
beside his name on the list of West
Coast scenarists.
Raymond Hackett, the baby Of the
three, has most recently appeared in
the public prints in connection with
persistent rumors that he will marry
Blanche Sweet, if his first wife wins
pending divorce suit. Miss Sweet was
an exceedingly young Biograph star
in the era when Florence Hackett
and Arthur johnson were known
around the old plant. His personal
affairs aside, Raymond has estab-
lished himself as skillful mimic in
The Trial of Mary Dugan," in SUM-
dry othcer screen and legitimate pro-
auctions.
jeanette Hackett is not beautiful, a
fact which is entirely overshadowed
by level, amiable charm of manner.
She is graceful, possessed of a strik-
ing figure and only interested in
using these gifts and her knowledge
of dancing to make her way until
she has the opportunity to utilize
much more valued qualities-her
brains and experienced taste. The
terpsichorean interlude, as one of our
local penmen described her act, is
therefore precisely that for her. So
is it for Trisault, whose story We save
for tomorrow.
Proudest moment of Miss Hackett's
life: When she opened in Denver
stock and the newspapers topped the
dramatic page with Vaudeville Head
liner Appears in Denver Stock Com
pany." The others of the cast were
merely Sylvia Sidney, ingenue; Albert
Hackett, Juvenile; F,redric March,
leading man; c. Henry Gordon, heavy.

she did marry Arthur v. Johnson,
who was a sort of Gary Cooper of his
day, and she saw her daughter and
two sons turn out after this fashion:
Jeanette, whose dancing with Ivan
Triesault is a feature of the Loew'S
Fox bill this week, became an ingenue,
a dancer, shrewd organizer of stage
units, and eventually the head Of the
R-K-O art department, selecting the
costumes, directing the lighting and
molding together the acts for presen-
tation houses on the circuit.
Albert Hackett, who is now under
80, acted while, wrote play called
up Pops the Devil" couldn't find a
leading man to suit him, played the
part himself and got most of the
notices, and ended up in Hollywood

BY FREDDIE BARTHOLOMEW.


(N.A.N.A.)-So many people
cannot understand how boys
i i like myself can work in pic
lures and enjoy real boys
life. I mean, they wonder If we ever
have any leisure and, if We do, how
we spend it.
I am having most fun learning cow
boy tricks with a rope, and I think
am getting along pretty we'll. When
was on a vacation at Palm Springs re-
Gently l had lots of fun with Lester
and Johnny, my cowboy friends. They
showed me how to spin rope, saddle
a horse and roundup the calves.
My favorite sport is horseback rid
Ing. OF course I love swimming, ten
mis- and badminton also. We have our
own tennis and badminton court
home in England, you know
I also have a bicycle which was
given to me by friend in New York,
and I ride it on the back lot at
M.-G.-M. studio. Up to now I have
had only one spill and one fiat tire
OF course, we do not work in pic
lures every day. When have a free
day I must always do my school work
in the morning. l study my script
with my Aunt CisSie in the afternoon
Perhaps you know I am working in
a second picture. I am playing the
part Of Greta CARLOS son in Anna
Karenina" and the script takes lots of
time to study. I also listen to the
radio and have a card game with my
Aunt Cissie which is nearly always
exciting
At present am learning to play
the ukulele Although Cissie doesn't
like it much, perhaps some day shall
learn to play well enough so that I
can stand under a balcony and Sere-
made her.
I also play the piano bit, but find
have little or no time to practice.
I prefer to listen to a good musical
program on the radio. I always at
tend the Gilbert and Sullivan operas
in London.
Now you can see that after all this
I really haven't so much leisure time
left. 1 wish I could have a little more
time for gardening I love gardening.
Cissie's hobby and mine is garden
ing. in England. where my grannie
and grandpa live. My grandpa likes
to grow roses best and CiSsie and I
help the gardener quite a lot. We
also grow the most wonderful dahliaS
and sweet peas. In the greenhouse
we grow grapes and tomatoes, and
when my little cousin Peter comes to
stay with me We spend mucn time
sampling grapes.
should tell you about the lovely
house Peter and I have built up in one
of the trees on our lawn in England.
We spend hours up there playing
Robinson Crusoe. We raid the larder
and take all sorts of food up there to
eat. Peters father is an officer in
the army, and when we go to his house
we play soldiers.

IF by May 81 these bills have not
been paid shall seek redress. Call

a list of those who owe me. I have
also left with him a sealed package,
the contents of which may be made
public after the 31st.
Have you a skeleton in your closet
that plumber might have seen?
Then beware!"
A restless undercurrent of excite
ment pervaded the entire town during
the two weeks that followed. The
churches had never been SO well at
tended as on that sunny Sabbath the
week that Atoms notice had appeared.
The first of the week many good
citizens of BARLEY struggled into the
judges Office, but no two ever came
together.
Among the first to puff up the
dingy stairs and into the waiting
room was Patrick Conley, one of the
well to do of Bartley's worthy citizens.
He was the boss, sub rosa, of the
town hall political gang.
The Judge closed the door and
waited. Pats oily, ready tongue failed
him for once He suffered and made
several attempts before he hit upon
q satisfactory beginning and launched
into the purpose of his visit.
You see, it's this way, Judge.
I owe that id little plumber
5000 fer putin them furnishins in
my two bath rooms, that the missis
nagged the life out of me till she
got. But you know how it is about
payin' bills. I didn't know the little
cuss was so hard up, or I'd have paid
him a long time ago. So that's what
I'm here for. Here's my check. I
want q receipt"
His nonchalance was all on the
outside. For as he numbered down
the stairs he inwardly cursed the
plumber, whom he was positive had
the private letter of the Walker Paw
ing Co., which he, Pat, had lost when
he was having his house remodeled.
He inwardly cursed the contracting
company. Why had they been such
dumb fools anyway as to put their
bribery on paper. -
Even poor silly Molly Reid came
with.a few dollars, frightened to death
for fear Alton had seen her bottle of
hair dye, and would hold her up for
ridicule just when Joe Brown was al

up with q broad smile.
Your name is not here, Parson. I
can't collect from you"
A little dazed, the minister put back
into his pocket the money that would
buy food for the coming week.
Among the last to visit the judges
popular Office was Mary Holt. AggreS-
sively she stalked into the room with
money to pay for the stationary tubs
Alton had installed for her six months
previously. Judge Wilson grinned a
trifie maliciously as she gave the dirty
greenbackS a longing look before
handing them to him.
He would have laughed in unholy
glee had he known that she remem-
bered Alton was at her home the day
that she sold to a secondhand clothes
vender the best Of a quantity of cloth
ing turned over to her for charity.
In the meantime what had become
of the would-be blackmailer? Sallie
Rudder, the village gossip, reported,
after a call on Mrs. Alton, that Fam
ME did not know where her husband
was. Said that he had taken his gun
and driven OF, to be gone until the LIST.
BY the 31st everybody who owed or
thought they owed Alton dollar had
called on the judge
About noon of the 1st a muddy car
stopped In front of the rambling old
frame building which furnished Office
room for most of Bartley's profess
sional men, and John Alton ran nim-
bly, up the dingy stairs.
Hello, Judge! I'm back"
$50 I see," and the Judge handed
John a quantity of bills, checks, and
loose change, along with the package
left in his care.
There was a broad grin on Atoms
lean brown face as he checked the list.
The grin changed to an audible
chuckle when he came to Pat Conley's
check. 1t was almost shout when he
saw Mary Hollis name marked paid
in full"
well, John. don't you think YOU
owe me something besides my fee for
all of this. Open the package. My
curiosity almost got the better of me-"
Without replying Alton tore the
wrappings from the sealed package,
and handed the judge a bunch of un-
used envelopes. On card which had
been slipped under the rubber band,
there was printed in large letters: "A
guilty conscience needs no accuser."

CITIZENS PROTEST
FIFTH ST. TRAFFIC
Petworth Group Declares
Street Not Built to Sus-
tain Loads.

Protesting against the condition Of
Fifth street and the use to which it
Is being put, the Petworth Citizens
Association voted to make a special
study of the situation at the first Fall
meeting last night in the Petworth
School.
Letters from members were read
in which it was pointed out heavy
trucks passing along the street cause
damage to abutting houses by heavy
, vibration. One member complained
T that ceilings crack and walls part
as a result of the jarring from passing
trucks.
The area affected is tnat portion
of Fifth street from Grant Circle
to Rock Creek Church road. Wash
tngton Y. Boyd, chairman, Trans
portation Committee, declared the
streets throughout Petworth were laid
from eight to 10 years ago and were
: not constructed for the heavy use to
which they are subjected today.
Detour Suggestion Opposed.
A suggestion from George w. Pot
ter was to shunt the heavy Grant
Circle traffic down Illinois avenue
to Rock Greek Church road. to which
Harry c. Kimble objected on the
grounds that Illinois avenue has only
a macadamized surface with no solid
base.
On motion of A. D. Sartwell, a Spe-
cial committee was appointed to study
the origin and destination of loads
on heavy trucks with view of re-
routing this. type of traffic. The
committee is composed of Charles B.
=, Scott, R. S. Mason and Boyd.
In another resolution presented by
Boyd, the body Endorsed The Stars
traffic safety campaign. The reSolu-
ton, which passed without a dissent
ing vote declared, 1--WE commend the
efforts that are being made to bring
to the individual a realization of the
duties and responsibilities of driving
a car" 1t expressed the interest of
the association in the welfare of our
fellow men and the safety of our
streets"

the Mount Pleasant Citizens Associa-
ton was read, in which action advo-
eating cleaner streets was urged.

for the conditions of the streets by

tions are 'noticably growing worse, >
members adopted a resolution in
which they agreed to cooperate with

LEHMAN TAKES HAND
IN GOTHAM PROBE
Confers With City Officials on
Vice and Policy Game
Rackets.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 22.-Gov. Her
bert n. Lehman today entered the in
quiry into vice racketeering and policy
gambling in New York City.
The Governor conferred with Mayor
La Guardia, District Attorney William
C. Dodge and high police officials, his
first active participation in the inquiry
since he was asked by the runaway
March grand jury to impanel another
special jury and appoint special
prosecutor to supersede Dodge.
Last March the jury's opening at
tack was ON policy gambling, which
they undertook to prove in the control
of prominent politicians. A number
of police roundups brought policy run
ners, slip writers and minor ring en-
ployes under arrest, but the so-called
higher ups Of the racket were I'M
molested.
A drive on protected prostitution
followed, but it fiickered out with the
arrest of o few girls. Polly Adler,
noted procuress, was arrested and
served 30-day term in jail, and later
several vice overlords were jailed. The
grand Jury complained that it was
impossible to get helpful witnesses in
this drive.
