jury which was completed at 1915
O'Clock said that the three defend
ants had confessed to the crime and
that Mrs. Carey had said that the
motive was her brothers. insurance.
Mr.. Green also said that Mrs. Carey
had planned the crime for sOme-
time. The attorney general added

not participate in it. Lawrence was
IA years old at the time.
The plan Mr.. Green said was for
the mother and James to hide in
room of Kitchens house to await
his return and Howard to stand in a
hallway with a club. The trio took a
white oak club, sledge hammer,
and a bottle of whiskey and glasses
to the house, the jury was told.
Mrs. Carey, it is alleged, promised
Howard a new auto if he partici-
pated in the crime.
AS Kitchens entered the house,
Mr.. Green said, he had a pipe in his
mouth and as he walked TO the kit

had the stage point Of view toward
Hollywood, and could see no fame
greater than one earned before the
footlightS.
However I seemed to dislike picture
work, the studio put me to work and
"Only Yesterday" was the result. I
escaped to London, hoping I could
avoid seeing the picture that way, but
it followed me, so I went to see it
and, to my aStonishment, liked it.
This changed my opinion of pic
lures and slightly altered my con-
viction that the stage was the only
place for the expression Of the acting
art. But I couldn't change my per-
Sonal attitude.
I suppose I was found hard to
handle because I wouldn't do some of
the things that are expected of motion
picture actresses. I wouldn't reveal
my personal ambitions or change my
habits Of mind for the sake of few
inches of newspaper space. I wouldn't
lend my name to controversial subjects
of which I was totally ignorant,
neither would I endorse shaving To-
tions for men, or start charities for
which need not contribute one cent
of my own money.

fact, I detest "yes" men and women
more than anything know, and I am
afraid I have been rather harsh on
such well-intentioned, but misguided,
souls.
When It was announced that the
company Of $50 Red the Rose" my
next film, would make most of the
picture on location out near Toluca
Lake, Mr.. Vidor, the director, hastened
to assure me that would have a
bungalow for myself and would not
be quartered with the studio crew.
But want to stay with the crew

would be bored to death in a six-room
cottage. Besides I enjoy the crews Of
film companies. Their humor is sin
cere and their conversation isn't al
ways technical, just the buffoonery Of
men and women at play"
Most of the trouble" I have had
in Hollywood started because a few
people could not get it through their
heads that I objected strenuously to
being pampered or "yessed." I want
to be treated as q reasoning human
being, old enough to know what Is

express myself as Margaret SULLIVAN,
not as a picture star.

TRIANGLE PLAYERS

7. M. c. A. Group Presents Je-
rome's Passing of the Third
Floor Back"

'The Passing of the Third Floor

drama Of London lodging house, its
occupants and stranger, has become
a virtual institution in the contempo-
rary theater and as such rises above
a mere odd-moment concern of a
group of thespians. The understand
ing efforts of the Triangle Players of
the Y. M. c. A. last evening at the
Foundry M. E. Church were, there

Charles c. Gilman played the
Stranger in a sincere and effortleSs
manner, which served to minimize an
occasional stumble. Mr.. Gillman's
treatment of this substantial charac-
terization left very little to be desired.
After she proceeded to forget all about
a Cockney accent, Joan Mitchell did
a satisfactory job as the maid, just out
Of industrial school, or Jail" as her

Shirley Rowe executed a plausible
metamorphosis in the role of Mrs.
Sharpe, landlady who knows her
racket quite well. In fact, the effect
upon the tenants of the Stranger was

pompous Maj. Tompkins did some
impressive throat~clearing In the per-

around the corner, too.
At the moment "color" Is perhaps
too much of a stunt in the films to be
entirely comfortable. People can't go
on wearing such colorful clothes, for
instance, as they do in Becky Sharp"
The average code of living does not
call for such bright blues and reds,
and unless we mistake ourselves tech
nicolor still has something Of battle
ahead to get itself down to the
humber Ind drabber tints of the
twentieth century.
Nevertheless, the success OF these
blues and reds and occasional greens
and yellowS is obvious in this first
full-length color finland the va
rious shadings and contrasts, the high
lights and the low lights and the way
in which the major characters are out
lined is something that is not only
extremely effective, but sometimes
quite startling besides.

YOU feel that black and white is still

ance alone is worth visit. She re-
veals a new film quality, a sureness
and an archness which she has never
had beforehand so far as coloring is
concerned, if the color camera doesn't
lie, she has everything that any artist
could wish.
Miss Hopkins Becky Sharp Is
something to write home about. She
creates fiction's most popular green
eyed temptresS with more charm and
wit than she has ever given to any
thing before. Director Mamoulian
has tied no strings to her whatsoever.
He has let her go ahead on her own
sweet way with clear conscience
and only Mr.. Thackeray and possibly
shades of Mrs. Fiske to guide her.
The result is Miss Hopkins best
work up to date-aS also a Becky
Sharp with whom you can find little
fault. Although perhaps in that we'll

Crawley walks in on Becky's little
