Strolls Thru HOLLYWOOD

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. Is. U.P) =
Fred Stone, grand old trouper who
remembers when circuses travelled
in covered wagons, currently has
the inside track among candidates
for the movie heritage of Will
Rogers.
Stone, rising 62, is playing
typically Rogers-esque role in the
screen version of Phil Stong's no.
vel, Farmer in The Dell" and on
the strength of few scenes, seems
to be doing a whale of JOB OF
it.
However, RKO-Radio studios
would rather not mention the
Rogers parallel for the obvious
reason that it places their star in
the awkward position of compet-
ing with a memory. The same is
true with goth Century-Fox, and
Irwin S. Cobb.
Now that the initial ballyhoo Of
the hunt of Wills successor has
died down, we can expect to hear
less and less often Rogers name
coupled with that of any present
actor
There is a definite pace on the
Marques for a character actor
proficient in the Rogers-type role,
but that actor can't be Rogers,
and can't afford to initiate him
closely or at all.
1t is difficult to estimate Cobb'5
progress, because visitors are bar
red from sets where he is making
"Everybcdy's Old Man" his first
starring role. Pictures in which he
played with the late Will, of course,
cannot be considered.
Fox officials excuse Cobb's Sc
cluded regime on the ground that
he ad Ibis his lines to a great
extent, and visitors bother him. A
mere plausible explanation is that
Cobb, after all, is a writer, not
an actor, and that he has plenty
to learn as he goes along.
In any event nobody can deny
Stone is an actor, and because OF
his record it is hard to think CT
him as successor to anybody. Stone
entered show business as a kid
high-wire walker way back in the
'30's, and he has been on and
around the stage ever since.

is only his second molten picture

Suspect Arrested
In Singing Case

Vicente Cabanting, alleged COM
Danion OF Frank Cabico in the
slugging and attempted robbery of
w. F. Havins at his filling station
on the Brawley -Holtville highway,
was arrested in Salinas this week.
The Filipino will be brought
back to Imperial county to face
trial for assault with attempt %
commit murder with a deadly
weapon.
An Imperial county jury Janu-
ary 6, found Cabico guilty Of a
9imilar offense and he la'er was
sentenced TO the penitentiary.
Judge Vaughn N. Thompson rec
commended that he be kept there
for seven years and be daported
at the conclusion OF the sentence.
Cabanting's name frequently was
mentioned by Cab.co in connection
with the slugging of Havins. Two
islanders asked HaVins to supply
them with gasoline for their stalled
automobile and slugged him when
he stopped to pick up a measuring
can to comply with their request.
They fled at the approach of an
other automobile, HaVinS testified
in court.

FUNDS GIVEN
FOR STUDY OF
ELECTRICITY

1t costs more to deliver electrici-
tv to widely scattered farm homes
than to urban residences and a vast
majority of farmers have never
been able to stand this expense
while their present debated condi-
tion aggravates the situation, states
a bulletin on rural identification
received recently from WASHING
ton, D. c., and now being studied
by the Imperial Irrigation district
board of directors.
The federal government has ear
marked a hundred million dollars
for this work of rural electrifica-
ton, and it is up to the farmers
OF the country to see that this
money is spent to their own best
advantage. The government through
these loans proposes to do what The
private power companies have not
done IN adequate fashion for the
past 20 years because there was not
enough money in it, according 20
the bulletin.
Realizing this, states the bulle-
tin, the farmers of the nation
should work toward securing this
electric service for their homes
and farms through an agency which
would do it at the lowest possible
cost and also with the highest de-
gree of efficient service. This could
be accomplished either by munich
pally owned power plants, or public
power districts, or farm coopera-
tiveS organized on non-profit
basis.
Members of the irrigation dis
trlct board are convinced that only
through the complete distribution
OF AL American canal power by the
district will the ranchers of this
olSIllct be enabled to secure cleo
tflflcation OF their ranches in a sat
lsfactory manner and also at cost,
both for installation and delivery
OF power, which will not be eXhorb-
liant.

debate this afternoon. the American
Bar Association decided not 10 make

The ruling was handed down in
friendly suit filed by Ray Ingels,
head of the state department Of
motor vehicles, against State Con-
troller Ray L. Riley.
Contending that the levy was
property tax, Ingels maintained that
veterans could include it in their
81 900 personal property tax eXemp-
zion and demanded that Riley be
forced to pay $765 for printing 140,-
900 veterans auto tax exemption
certificates.
Not Double Taxation
The tax, instituted this year TO re-
place former city and county taxes
amounts to SITS per $100 assessed
valuation of automobiles.
The court declined the levy as
privilege tax" assessed for the PRIV
ilege of using state highways and
ruled that a SO yearly additional
charge for license plates does no.
constitute illegal "double-taXation.'
In deciding the conStitutionallty
issue raised in a suit by Jonn W
Holmes, Pasadena deputy city attor-
ney, the court held that nothing II
state or federal statutes forbids the
states levying a privilege tax.
Holmes, declaring the shift in auto
taxation would deprive Pasadena OF
approximately $4,000 annual reve-
nue., argued that the law was uncon-
stitutional since it virtually conllo-
Gated the city's right to impose taxes.
Revenue Turned Back
In taking over the vehicle. taxes
however, the state turned back to
cities and counties the revenue from
public utilities taxation
Holding that decision on the
issue WoulG be too far-reaching, the
court declined to lule on contentious
that the legislature cannot exempt
property from local taxation unless
such property is placed on the states
personal tax list. The issue, the
court said, also vas not directly in

DARBORN TOWNSHIP. Mich,
Jan. Is. U.P)-With a calm smile for
friends and a message of peace for
her family, starry-eyed Shirley
Tapp. II, greeted visitors today after
her return from the half-world of
religious trance.
"She is like Joan of Arc, said Mrs.
Lavelne Tapp, the girls mother, i
think that Shirley was intended.
perhaps, TO save her country by
making it think Of God and relig-
ion"
The slim-vaisted. broWn-haired
girl regained consciousness last
night about 9 80 p. m. For six days
and nights, her family said, she has
been slain by the power of God,
for atonement of her sins and those
of the world. They are members
of the Full Salvation Union, relig
iouS sect.
When Shirley opened her eyes she
could hear the low chant Of prayers
and the grooming of hymns from the

all of his successes have been on
the legitimate stage, and he eased
on the screen in Katherine Hep
burns Alice Adams" long after
his three daughters, Dorothy, Pau
la and Carol, had made movie
debutS.
The strong story is a perfect
Rogers role. Stone plays a retired
Iowa farmer who came to Holly
wood on the insistence of his wife,
Esther Dale, who has screen am
bitions for their daughter, Jean
Parker.
He never realizes quite what his
wife is driving at, but blunders
around the studios at her urging,
and accidentally becomes a star
himself but then he is in the pos
ition of having to conceal the fact,
and must prevent the daughter and
her boy friend, who know all about
it, from telling the missuS.
Director Ben Holmes, who, by
the wsy, looks something like
Graucho Marx without the NOUS
tache, is subtley guiding the whole
opus in a Rogers atmosphere.
Stone, of course, was an old
time friend of Wills, and is not
unlike him in stature. AS proof
of this, Leonard Traynor, Rogers
stand-in for many years, is doing
the same chore for Fred.
Edgar A. Guest, Detroit news
paper verse writer who entered
Hollywood to become an actor
with some burning Of red fire last
fall, is preparing to leave it, his
dramatic debut postponed until
next spring. Carl Laemmle, who
announced Guests first picture

tracts to fulfill.
